Is the GOP resorting to Islamaphobic rhetoric to avoid talking about the poor economy and high gas prices o?

Of course they are. They just make up things to scare their base while hiding the things they have done that are hurting their voters. Immigrants are taking your jobs and eating your pets! The one percent of Americans who are Muslims are bringing Sharia Law! Gays! Transsexuals! Women voting!

[OneViewpoint]

Yeah, that's what our Confederate traitors have been doing for more than 160 years. Race, religion, ethnic origin. Others.

[FreyaRed]

The truth is most people dislike Islam independent of their political affiliation. Thinking Democrats differ in this question a lot is naive and playing with nonsensical term like "Islamophobia" doesn't give someone a victim wild card.

[yulbsari]

Not being able to distinguish between Islam and terrorist organization is the realm of ignorant people who don't have friends who don't look or believe as they do, never traveled the world, and are poorly educated. MAGA has attracted these people like roaches to rotting trash. What these GOP candidates having been saying about candidates who practice Islam is vile and disgusting. Clearly, you don't know what Islamophobia is, or you just don't give a shit. You also probably think that misogyny and racism are also "nonsensical terms." God help this country try to follow a path of basic human respect and not wallow in a cess pool of ignorant discrimination and hatred.

[FreyaRed]

Taqiyya (deceit) allows to deceive infidels about Islam and it's goal to dominate the world.
I think we have an example in your comment.
A tolerant Muslims is like a honest Gypsy, they both don't exist.

[Agape93]

I love how he rides my ass like a red light district girl, but hasn't said anything to you for a whole ass day.

[Anonymous]

Alls fair in politics. But that can be a double edged sword. Playing the "dangerous minority" card CAN do the opposite of what candidate is trying to do. So, this is actually a good sign for your candidate. Cause desperate campaigns make desperate moves.

[Spencer10]

Of course. The GOP has always campaigned using distraction and fear.

[Anonymous]

They rarely if ever seem to talk about themselves. It's all just attacks.

[Agape93]

Nope. Besides, nobody's afraid of Islam. We just dont like it.

[yulbsari]

Do you know how to read? Obviously, they are playing on the fears of ignorant voters! Who is the "we" in "we just don't like it"? Have you ever seriously studied Islam, or are you one of these morons who think being Islamic means you're a terrorist? Please tell me that you're not that ignorant!

[Agape93]

We, as in anyone who doesn't like Muslims or Islam.

Yeah, I have and own a copy of the Quran. I study religions as a hobby my guy.

[Agape93]

Like for example, I used to be wholly neutral with Islam. I didn't give a fuck and many of my old comments on them reflect that neutrality. But my disdain for them, is born out of witnessing their own behaviors. Not some stupid bullshit from fox news, some politicians or some dumbass tiktoker.

[yulbsari]

What "behaviors" are you referring to that you "witnessed"?

[Agape93]

Hmm let's see, two of my exes family members directly telling me that I need to convert for their son to stay with me (ignoring him saying otherwise), with one threatening me with "consequences" if I dishonor his family any further. Then there is the Oct 7th attack, where my own girlfriend lost friends in the attack with one surviving after being released almost a year later, gods known what they did to her. Plus ever since then, not a single Muslim online or in person has denounced the attack without blaming Israel in the same breath. Shit, only one person on the left that I've seen has done it, and it was fucking Goaded. Just him.
Then we have over the years no less than 3 on here saying I should be killed for being an occultist, one wishing rape on me etc.

[yulbsari]

So, you think that your experiences are representative of all of Islam or all Muslims? Seriously? There are 2 billion Muslims in the world. That's 25% of the world's population. You're deciding to put 2 billion people in one box? Do you know how many misogynist, racist, all-around assholes I have encountered who exhibit the exact same behavior you just described who proudly proclaim their Christian faith? Am I supposed to not like Christianity because of this? As far as the October 7th attacks go, people are very quick to generalize and make assumptions. The reality is that Israelis and much of the Arab world have been both guilty of committing atrocities. One is no better than the other. Just three days ago, a UN commission found that Israel was guilty of still committing atrocities after a truce was reached in Gaza! By the way, many Muslims condemned the October 7th attack! Clearly, you don't know any of them in your inner circle!

[Agape93]

You seem to think I value your opinions

[yulbsari]

Then, just stop fucking commenting!!! That way no one will give a fuck about what you think either!!! Problem fucking solved!!!

[Agape93]

Why are you so mad?

[yulbsari]

You just responded by telling me that my opinion does not matter to you. Isn't that correct? So, I think you can figure out why I would be mad!

[Agape93]

Correct, and no i don't get it. You got before I said that. Why?

[yulbsari]

I give you my opinion, then you say you don't give a shit about it! So, yeah... the appropriate response is to be pissed! Why is that so hard for you to understand? WTAF?

[Agape93]

Again, you got mad before I said that. So, why?

[yulbsari]

No, I was responding to your message telling me that "You seem to think that I value your opinions" I saw that response right after I gave you a detailed response! So, I didn't get made BEFORE you said that! I got mad AFTER you said that!

[Agape93]

Wrong. You said the following

Do you know how to read? Obviously, they are playing on the fears of ignorant voters! Who is the "we" in "we just don't like it"? Have you ever seriously studied Islam, or are you one of these morons who think being Islamic means you're a terrorist? Please tell me that you're not that ignorant!

You had an attitude with me from the start. So either tell me why, or stfu

[yulbsari]

Just look at the last response I sent you! You just posted it! "So, you think... in your inner circle." YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT WAS: "You seem to think I value your opinions" Clearly, you didn't like my last response by telling me that! You basically told me to go fuck myself and my opinions are worthless to you! Why is this so difficult for you to understand? I didn't have an "attitude" with you from the beginning! I just responded honestly! You are the one who decided to respond to my question! I didn't force you to! When you post a response, you open yourself up to both agreement and disagreement! That's how this works!

[Agape93]

I didn't bother to read it. You asked about my experiences, in detail, and you went off on another tirade instead of thanking me for the candor.

I don't ask for agreement. You asked questions, I answered, and each time responded with an attitude.

[yulbsari]

So, you're making me responsible because you didn't bother to read my response and then responded with an insulting remark? Are you kidding me?

[yulbsari]

Why the hell would you respond to a remark without even reading it first? That makes absolutely no sense!

[Agape93]

Oh my fucking god, you dont follow instructions for shit.

@DryGermanGuy am i missing something here dude?

[DryGermanGuy]

A case of stubbornly playing devil's advocate? 🤷‍♂️

[yulbsari]

Missing what? WTAF is going on here?

[yulbsari]

You don't like my response, then you say you don't care about my opinions! WTF is going on here?

[yulbsari]

Don't follow WHAT FUCKING DIRECTIONS? WTAF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

[Agape93]

I told you to explain why you've had an attitude from the get go, you keep pointing to times AFTER a certain point and refuse to address your messages I mentioned. I told you to tell me why or stfu. You didn't, hence not following instructions.

[yulbsari]

I RESPONDED TO EACH AND EVERY COMMENT THAT YOU MADE!!! ! I don't have an "ATTITUDE" ! I just responded, and you DON'T LIKE MY RESPONSES! IT'S THAT SIMPLE!!! That's not having an "ATTITUDE"! That's just responding to every comment that you made! JUST ADMIT THAT YOU DON'T LIKE AGREE WITH MY RESPONSES TO YOUR COMMENTS!!! IT'S SIMPLE!!! I CAN HANDLE THAT!!! AGAIN, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WE'RE JUST GOING IN CIRCLES HERE!!! SO, STOP TELLING ME TO STFU BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE MY RESPONSES!!! BE A FUCKING GROWNUP!!!

[Agape93]

Your responses dont concern me, but agree or not, you had an attitude from the very start. Over nothing.

[yulbsari]

Well, since my responses don't "concern" you. I won't "concern" myself with anything else you have to say. This is pointless.

[Agape93]

You haven't answered my question, so your reply is pointless. Nothing changes.
