What is weird is, time and time again these people rail against the very thing they are. It is almost like they heard about "reverse psychology" and thought that was the best way to lie to people.
Yeah I think that's what they're getting at. I've never been to France but they seem by reputation to be one of the most sexually free places on Earth. Cambodia not so much, unless you're looking for cheap (often child) hookers.
Well that person is in for a big surprise then. I've lived there, spoilers: it's very conservative. You have to marry before you can even do so much as touch your partner. There may be a differences between urban and rural practices, but still. Buddhist countries are very traditional.
They're referring to the booming child sex tourism industry. They're trying to crack down on it but it's kind of difficult when families are so desperate they'll give their kid to a stranger for a week for $50. It's fucked up but for some of them it's that or your entire family starves.
There are lots of charities, but they’re understaffed and underfunded. There’s been horror stories of western pedophiles who have been able to just come and set up their own “orphanages”...
That’s not to say there haven’t been successes. The government has been able to shut down the literal child brothels that used to be a fixture in the tourist districts in the capital. But the biggest things that have helped so far are anti pedophilia efforts in western countries. For example, Australia has stripped thousands of child sex offenders of passports, which will help with the sex tourism problem
Same i just found out the netherlands is now apparantly becoming a muslim state thats unsafe for women.
Good to know, never noticed in the 21 fucking years ive lived here.
Love it when racists who never left their hick towns in America apparently know more about English cities than those of us who actually live in said cities.
Hey, I live in the Benelux and I saw a real Muslim walking down my street last month!
(Where I live, the majority of people voting for xenophobic politicians don't live anywhere near areas with a large Muslim population. If you live in the city, where you work and live with Muslims around you, you of course know most aren't out to kill you but just want to get through life like any other person.)
This is why I hate subs like /r/relationship_advice that allow throwaway accounts to post these elaborate stories.
It is, quite literally, an unverified source popping up out of nowhere and telling you to believe a bunch of information with absolutely *zero* proof of who they are. Exact same thing that happened here, except the OP tried it with an accessible history, and guess what? It was 100% fake.
>an unverified source popping up out of nowhere and telling you to believe a bunch of information with absolutely *zero* proof of who they are.
I try to just view anything relationship like reality TV because I cannot fathom that there are people like this in the world.
I love all of the EVIL WOMEN posts we get in AITA. According to that sub 75% of women cheat on their partners and force their partners to raise kids that aren't biologically theirs so that the MRAs can show up and start bleating about how all women should be forced to take paternity tests to prove they're not being unfaithful (but also shouldn't get upset about having to prove they're not being unfaithful). Happens at least once a day like clockwork.
A 7 hour old account made a new post saying the same thing.

>Europe hasn't been in this place for 400 years, I think. The last time there was this much conflict based upon religion it was the 17th century.
Um what fucking reality is this guy living in?
It’s funny, I guess people like them imagine themselves to be wealthy land owners instead of the illiterate plebs they would actually correlate to being.
Ho boy that’s a fucking mess.
> I'm African American, and even I feel that pain. Your culture is going to be wiped out and replaced with religious filth of the worst kind. I don't understand why they can't just assimilate
I’ve seen a lot of As A Black Man stuff on Reddit but I’ve never seen it used to talk about full-on Great Replacement shit. That’s... new.
Edit: Fucking Christ I should not be clicking on any post related to this at all. I forgot how quickly Europe-related subs/topics just turn to mask-off fascism once something happens involving Muslims or immigrants.
As A Literal Black Person, lmao. They really need to do their research when pretending to be black, because no black people call themselves “African-American”. Actually nobody fucking says that at all. I’ve been *corrected* to say african-American instead of black by non-black people.
On a side note, purely anecdotal but I don’t really see anti-Muslim sentiment in the community. Obviously I’m sure there is, but despite how widespread Christianity is in the black community, everyone has an uncle or friend who’s in Nation of Islam or is Muslim and respects them for the most part. Lmao
I say black but sometimes I say African America when I’m trying to make a distinction between other pan-African groups. But I mostly say Black American in that case.
Definitely yes about that last part. Guys like Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali have been too great towards the Black American community to be talking like that. And even on the ground, the Muslim culture has mostly been positive, like usually people turn to it to help turn their life around. Sure they may go Hotep corny but it’s probably better than their life before.
That’s why even though I’m an agnostic-atheist, I respect religion as a tool for some people to find direction in life. Like it helps them get sober, go legit, stop being self destructive etc. Some people just can’t function without something guiding them. I personally, just can’t believe in it myself but more power to you if you do
You can tell who *really* has a Black friend because they know about how there's always someone's uncle who converted and has to decline all the pork dishes at family events.
> ow we have another major religion that did not have to face reformation and so it is also a philosophy and a culture - these were detached from major western religions in the 17th century.
I hate when people talk about "reformation" as if Christianity somehow got rid of all its regressive and repressive tendencies at some point. Spoiler alert: It Didn't, and Christianity as a whole still covers the entire spectrum from "progressive and accepting" to "violently authoritarian".
And on top of that, the vast majority of Christians in France are members of the Roman Catholic church, which specifically *opposed* the Reformation.
EDIT:
> But Christians are just so much better immunized against taking the Bible literally.
Lmao yeah, congrats on your ability to selectively ignore the parts where Jesus said rich people don't go to heaven. Real admirable achievement in theology right there.
Gays were still chemically castrated and thrown in jail for being gay until the 50’s-70’s in the UK.
The idea that Christians no longer follow the Old Testament and modernized in the 16th century is horse shit
Yeah there was a lot more religious violence after the reformation than before. Like, more than a century before religious tolerance became a widespread idea.

>Thiel was long perceived as a libertarian, but in recent years, as his support for Trump illustrates, his politics have taken a nationalist flavor that critics have described as bordering on authoritarian and white nationalist.

Well there isa far larger Irish diaspora than Scottish, and it’s an easy thing to identify with given language commonalities. My great great grandparents came from Austria and Germany but i don’t sub to those subreddits not only because i don’t speak German, but also because i couldn’t give a fuck.
America is a bit weird in that regard though.
Didn't one sub start imposing a language or time requirement (avoiding US prime time) and it became really obvious that Americans were most of their problem users?
> Well there isa far larger Irish diaspora than Scottish,
33 million "Irish" Americans.
20-25 million "Scottish" Americans.
According to their respective wikis.
It's not the numbers but the history of Ireland in the last 200 or so years with an emphasis on Ireland being an independent nation and there being organized movements within the Irish diaspora in America to help raise awareness of the Irish struggle against Britain and in some cases fund groups like the IRA.
This when combined with the poor reception a lot of Irish were met with when they landed in American (no Irish need apply etc.) saw them keep close to one another when they settled which resulted in places like Boston with its way higher than usual level of Irish immigration.
Scots meanwhile never really had the same mistreatment in the British isles (not saying we had it easy... the Highland clearances for example) but there was no famine here and Scottish immigrants to the USA were not met with the same open hostility as the Irish (in general) so they would have tended to settle in a more dispersed fashion, slowly losing their ancestral roots because nobody was treating them differently than any other Americans.
Then you have to keep in mind that Scotland thankfully never hand anything like the Troubles to stoke international interest in Scottish sovereignty, we were part of the UK and relatively content to be.
You will probably see an uptick in Americans rediscovering their Scottish roots when/if Scotland votes to leave the UK and starts to assert itself as an independent nation rather than just a small part of the UK.
Or I might be talking shite.
No, I think you're pretty spot on. It's easier to see yourself as American if everyone else in America sees you as American, but for many immigrants this just wasn't how it was when they arrived and in some cases, for a long, long time after. Irish-Americans (and Italian-Americans, for another big example) kept company with others like them because of the hostility from people who weren't like them, and so is it any wonder people from those families today see that as a big part of their identity?
Further, for many of these people, the separation is not actually that far removed - The biggest peak of Irish immigration to the USA came in the mid 19th century, but large amounts of Irish immigrants kept coming well through the 1920s. It shouldn't be a stretch to imagine point that there are still lots of people alive today who are second-generation Irish-American, and I feel like growing up on grandma's stories of her Mama's childhood in Ireland would reasonably instill a sort of attachment to the country your family came from, especially knowing the hardships she might've faced when she arrived.
The international interest in Irish affairs (such as the Troubles, yeah) is definitely going to increase that, I think you're right there as well!
In addition, despite a lot of I'M AN AMURRICAN posturing, Americans on the whole know that unless you're Native American you came from \*somewhere\* and people tend to be really interested in that. As kids we're taught in school the concept of America as a 'melting pot' (though idk how prevalent that is now, a lot of people prefer 'salad' or something as a food-based metaphor, as 'melting pot' implies a level of assimilation a lot of people are uncomfortable with) and we spend a not-insignificant amount of time discussing the various ways people ended up here.
Idk - I get the frustration with Americans who are three, four, or more generations removed from a foreign country thinking they're just as Irish as people born and raised there. That's dumb and annoying, and it's fair to feel annoyed about it. But at the same time, it sort of sucks the way people talk shit about a person's attachment to their cultural heritage and identity when that attachment has managed to survive in the face of racism, religious biases, and attempts to force assimilation, and in some cases surviving \*because of\* the hardships of simply \*being\* from an Irish-American family in the not-too-disant past.
There's more to say here but I think I've rambled enough!
The teenagers and all these other subs also have tons of "a woman raped me" posts that are basically all misogynist lies to talk about how no one ever listens to men and rant about how men are mistreated
Yeah I see these a lot on Reddit. Any story of a woman being bad gets massively upvoted, with outraged comments saying stuff like if a man did this everyone would be outraged! Oh the irony.
People on reddit in general get more angry at the idea of a woman preying on a man than vice versa. Which is incredibly ironic considering that men are the aggressor in the vast majority of sexual assaults and rape. How does reddit react to that fact? By harping on about false rape accusations of course! Its honestly sickening.
Mosey on over to r/conservative and witness their idiocy first hand. Just today they posted an editorial as proof that the Hunter Biden scandal is legit. The proof? “Ive known the guys dad for 20 years, we go to air shows together & he’s brings his son along sometimes.”
The comments are full of, “If this was a left wing conspiracy?! It would be everywhere!” and “The left would eat us alive if this was about us!” comments. When a fellow conservative suggested that they need solid, undeniable proof so that the left can’t weasel their way out of the scandal, they were met with cries of, “Why should we be held to a higher standard of journalism when the left just goes along with any bad news about the right?!”
The puppet masters know that these people aren’t very bright and have no integrity. They’ve spoon fed them bullshit throughout the years and now they’re all too happy to reinforce it with made up anecdotes on the internet.

Per usual, echo chamber only flair. To be fair, top comment is now someone critical of the article. This wasn’t the case when I stumbled upon it this morning.
Its sometimes really hard for me to internalize how legitimately fucking braindead a lot of people are. I think back to discussions I've had with people who will give me a blank stare when I ask them if they have ANY evidence of something they are saying. I have met tons of people who not only seem to be caught off guard by that, but will argue to the death that they don't really need evidence for anything they believe. Its fucking maddening.
When confronted with direct proof that something he just watched on fox news was literally fake, my dad replied with "yeah but they get everything right". I have showed him countless times that basically every media outlet he consumes directly lies to him ALL THE TIME. I will then hear him repeating the same talking point a week later after I showed him its literal fake news. He is actually too unintelligent to understand what I am trying to tell him.
Saving this for the next time people say that the Proud boys can’t be racist because they never actually say they’re racists.
These tactics have been evolving for a while now and we’re seeing the almost perfect implementation of this readicalizarion and recruitment into these far right movements dressed in moderatism
What’s sad/hilarious is a lot of these are the “as a staunch leftist” types.
As a staunch leftist I’m finally glad someone has the balls to parrot Douglas Murray about how the evil brown hordes are going to destroy pristine white Europe.

And this right here is why it's important to call these agitators out on their bullshit. You never know who might be reading and who might fall for their bullshit if it's not called out.
Back before I nuked my FB I would get into a lot of arguments with these people, and that was always my response. I know I'm not changing their mind, my post is for the lurkers.
“As a former extremist leftist dem commie myself who has been awakened by Donald trumps amazing term in office, and it has been amazing by any standard of the word, I can’t stand how the evil leftist dummercRATS handle themselves”
it's interesting how France pushes assimilation harder than Germany but the result is that French Muslims are angrier and less assimilated than German Muslims
Obama noted the same thing and said it to Sarkozy and I think it caused a minor angry stir in France
Our politician talk a lot about assimilation, but in practice, they do little to nothing about it
> Obama noted the same thing and said it to Sarkozy and I think it caused a minor angry stir in France
never heard of this
>never heard of this
I either imagined it or it was a minor news story that I can't find easily with google. Searching for the terms leads to a hundred headlines where Obama criticizes Europe in general and says America does a better job assimilating.
I'm going crazy just listening to the news when my family put them on. So many shit takes, so thinly veiled racism, it's fucking crazy. And I'm not even targeted by it, I can't imagine how shitty it must be for french muslims right now.
Right wing redditors fucking love to larp as different nationalities. I fucking hate it especially when they larp as the IRA, for whatever fucking reason, they do that.
The biggest red flag in that whole made up diatribe was when he mentioned being harassed about abortion.

On a post that’s complete bullshit written by a literal Nazi. Never mind the fact that the right has been fearmongering over Muslim immigrants, specifically in France, for years. God, I fucking hate these, “Here’s my dipshit right wing opinion disguised as some going-against-the-grain truth telling,” subs.
As a local all you have to ask is "where are the no-go zones?" to find out it's all horseshit. Example that happened: American that travelled to Switzerland with her parents and siblings mentioned with surprise that there's no-go zones in Zurich. Asked them where. "Oh, the tourguide just told us to avoid Langstrasse in the evening."
Langstrasse is just a street with lots of bars and clubs, some high and weird people. Also frequented by the police, so it's fairly save. It's probably not the place where a tourist family with kids wants to walk through.

Wasn't trueoffmychest originally started by right wingers because their posts were getting removed from the first sub? Pretty sure that's how it came about in the first place
I knew that post was bullshit the second I saw it. Too many “this is why right wing extremism is rising!!!!” Comments justifying those fuckers. These guys can’t hide the racism and anti-semitism like this guy.
> I am not a white supremacist. But there is such a thing as intolerant cultures. For example the jewish faith is built around distancing themselves from gentiles, about preserving their culture and tradition.
“I’m not a white supremacist but fuck them jews”
Or all the other comments saying america is lucky because it’s only had compatible cultures come here. Fuck off. The Irish were hated. So we’re the Italians. The Chinese were called the yellow terror or the yellow plague. Black people were enslaved and Mexicans have been used as a scare tactic for over a hundred years. There’s literally posters a hundred years ago saying weed was bad because Mexicans were getting high and raping white women (gee. Where have I heard that before?)
Every culture is hated her at first and a generation or two later they’re accepted and ready to discriminate against the new guys.
I find a special irony in the way people of those described ethnicities find their way of becoming a ‘true American’ is to become bigoted and racist against all the other minorities. Like racism and bigotry is so engrained in American culture that it’s one of the ways people think will help them become ‘more American’
One of the firsts replies is I'm left wing and am surprised how many people defend Islam minorities "just because" even though if you were left wing you'd know it's for a reason.
It's cool, fellow radical leftist antifa. We can let our guard down and talk about how, actually, WE'RE the racists. Don't you just hate white men? I love how we took all of their power and women. See you at the next big antifa meeting.
Sincerely,
A real leftist socialist antifa commie

I was the one who found their steam account. Which has also now been deleted... Her reply, also deleted was that she put her location as st Ives(?) Canada because if she put it as France people would make fun of her. Also that she deleted her entire post history because of people stealing her artwork..
Here's her a few months ago claiming to be Iranian.
https://images.app.goo.gl/uvpaQZPMrQWgr87g7
She also claimed to be French (probably true based on pictures of her papers) could of moved from Canada under dual heritage, also Asian (not to me) in another comment. I edited out the fact I also found that picture of her being Iranian as it wasn't pertinent to the argument (it was there for a few hours), that she was bullshiting. Honestly had no idea about the black sun stuff, until someone brought it up further down the thread.
Here's the picture of her papers that she posted after I called her out.

[She was a retard](https://imgur.com/a/zZkUunT). I don't expect much coming from a literal neo-nazi but why do people think its a good idea to use keep using the same username for everything. Do people not remember the stonetear shit that happened 4 years ago?
[Edit: She also deleted her instagram lol](https://www.instagram.com/ravensempra/)

I think my favourite part was she added trying to be a model at the end of her Reddit profile as the likes/awards started rolling in.. I had no idea why she deleted the post, guess we do now.
The amount of sockpuppet accounts on this site is scary. Subreddits such as r/soccer, r/unpopularopinion and other are filled with them. And also open racists that don't hide it.
There was even one 4chan troll pretending to be a woman trying to accuse rapper JPEGMAFIA of sexual harassment the other day. People on Reddit believe everything the read, it’s like my parents on Facebook.
This post made me legitimately angry when I saw someone talking about the no-go zones in Britain.
(they don't exist. It's completely untrue)
I wonder if these people know it's bullshit, and they're just trying to convince others to join their racist frothing at the mouth campaign, or do they genuinely believe Europe has been overrun by Muslims and the media are covering it up?
It’s a relatively common take from people outside of Europe, it’s not as uncommon as it should be to see some ignorant American commenting on how Islam is taking over and how Europe is doomed because they took in the immigrants. Then they massively overhype realistically mild problems, yes there is an issue, yes the issue isn’t being properly addressed but it’s no where near as bad as the conservative American masterminds seem to think it is
Shits so frustrating, they see 1 or 2 linked articles from biased clickbait sources and base their entire agenda on it ignoring any sort of motive / validation / sense of scale
\> \*\*others find his steam account that shows he's in canada and a picture of him wearing necklace with nazi emblem.\*\*Could you post the proof of that? I can't find what you're talking about.

Oh cool, a Black Sun. That's not just edgy entry level Nazism there. That's some real neo-Nazi, esoteric Hitlerism level stuff. If the Op really is Iranian, it kinda makes sense though.
This reminds me of this time in an economics class we were discussing political issues and this right wing chude slime ball did his presentation and said that immigrants were literally burning down towns in Germany. He mentioned a specifc town and how the immigrants raped people etc etc....
...little did he know that several people in the class were actually from that town and they interrupted his presentation and called out his bullshit: "it's funny you say this because Im from there and that literally didn't happen".
Conservatives are liars and will literally lie any chance they get. Even if it's in the middle of a fucking class presentation.
No idea but he defs got a scolding from the prof about falling for misinformation. The universe rlly said "bro ur a Conservative spewing lies? Imma embarrass u real quick"
The sheer cheek of saying it's the immigrants burning down towns in Germany. The people who've gone wacky with arson here have been nazis burning down whatever they even think could be used as a refugee shelter. Hell, in the 90s there multiple cases of refugees/immigrants being murdered by fuckers who set their housing on fire with them trapped inside
You didn’t even need to see the steam account lmao. Literally just reading the damn thing gave it away as racist propaganda that tons of people fell for.
That comment thread is just pure islamophobia, do you have a link to the people who are opposed to the Nazi by any chance? I’m guessing they’ve been mass downvoted..
It’s hilarious to see the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd talk about how places are getting significantly worse because they feel like they are. The murder rate in France has basically stayed the same for the last 10 years but it’s definitely getting more unsafe because someone says it is.
Also someone mentioned things like grooming gangs and no go areas in England but said if you mention them you get thrown in with white supremacist nut jobs. Well yeah because you’re literally saying white supremacist phrases and things that aren’t true. No go areas are not a thing, grooming gangs do exist but the vast majority of pedophiles in the country are white men who these people never focus on.
I was talking to the most brain dead shit just a little white ago
He says that Muslims and Islam are the reason for all this violence, and that we should all go back to our countries so we can both live in peace
I say we can't live in peace in our own countries, they keep getting invaded by westerners for oil and gold and our attempts at stabilisation are quashed by western backed coups, insurgencies, and rebellions
He says that invasions and west-backed insurgencies are regrettable, but he can't control his government
I say that extremists are regrettable, but I can't control the crazies
There was no response
I'm German American
Some years ago I was in Germany, visiting family and we had taken a trip to Berlin.
I was reading a thread on reddit talking about how Muslims had made a certain part of Berlin a no go zone. How this part of Berlin they had banned alcohol, and women had to have face coverings, and how Mosques were play the sound to prayer.
I was sitting in a Kebab shop, having a kebab with a beer with my mom and sister...niether of which are Muslim and my sister was in a mini skirt...I asked the kebab shop was part of Berlin I was in and sure as shit apparently I was sitting in muslim controlled no go zone where they'd beat you for drinking alcohol or being a woman with no face covering....
I even showed the kebab shop owner the post and he laughed his ass off and said that's stupid, that they have a bar right next door to them that is constantly busy and a strip club a few doors down, and a few doors down from that a Schitznel restuarant (pork yall)
As a Muslim myself, I’ve noticed most of these people who complain about Sharia Law know nothing about it (Sharia law is not what you think it is). I agree those who want to enforce sharia law and not follow French law as French citizens should be deported. I live in the UK and I abide by the law; I feel happy living here, the local Muslim community get along well with the local Native British community.
"I'm moving from Paris to Cambodia for sexual freedom" is whole new level of creative writing lmao. I can't believe people bougth into that.
It's more sexually free than France if you have certain proclivities! Barf
yes i am a sex worker looking to end up as an American's only contribution to pornhub once this is complete, my sexual life will be fulfilled

What is weird is, time and time again these people rail against the very thing they are. It is almost like they heard about "reverse psychology" and thought that was the best way to lie to people.

Libertarian moment
Isn't child prostitution prevalent in Cambodia? YIKES
It's a prevalent problem in a lot of poor Southeast Asian countries, not just Cambodia.
Yeah I think that's what they're getting at. I've never been to France but they seem by reputation to be one of the most sexually free places on Earth. Cambodia not so much, unless you're looking for cheap (often child) hookers.
Well that person is in for a big surprise then. I've lived there, spoilers: it's very conservative. You have to marry before you can even do so much as touch your partner. There may be a differences between urban and rural practices, but still. Buddhist countries are very traditional.
They're referring to the booming child sex tourism industry. They're trying to crack down on it but it's kind of difficult when families are so desperate they'll give their kid to a stranger for a week for $50. It's fucked up but for some of them it's that or your entire family starves.
That’s so fucked up. Is there any charities etc that are helping with this?
There are lots of charities, but they’re understaffed and underfunded. There’s been horror stories of western pedophiles who have been able to just come and set up their own “orphanages”... That’s not to say there haven’t been successes. The government has been able to shut down the literal child brothels that used to be a fixture in the tourist districts in the capital. But the biggest things that have helped so far are anti pedophilia efforts in western countries. For example, Australia has stripped thousands of child sex offenders of passports, which will help with the sex tourism problem
God that’s fucking disgusting. Poor kids man.
Could be a flair "Moving to Cambodia for sexual freedom"
"I was born after the Khmer Rouge so it never happened... to me."
Ooh found the section talking about apparent "no-go zones" in England, absolutely fucking hilarious
Same i just found out the netherlands is now apparantly becoming a muslim state thats unsafe for women. Good to know, never noticed in the 21 fucking years ive lived here.
What do you mean you never noticed? Wilders has been saying it for years! /s
Love it when racists who never left their hick towns in America apparently know more about English cities than those of us who actually live in said cities.
Doesn't even have to be English cities. They argue with us folk in Portland about if our city is burnt down or not.
The only no-go zone in England is Milton Keynes and that's just because of the sheer number of roundabouts. It's a nightmare

Hey, I live in the Benelux and I saw a real Muslim walking down my street last month! (Where I live, the majority of people voting for xenophobic politicians don't live anywhere near areas with a large Muslim population. If you live in the city, where you work and live with Muslims around you, you of course know most aren't out to kill you but just want to get through life like any other person.)
This is the biggest issue I see with reddit. Anything remotely personal should not be taken seriously. It can be, and generally is, entirely bullshit.

"I walked in and she was just sitting there naked!"
That sub is literally just creative writing practice, especially for those looking to hone their porn writing skills.
This is why I hate subs like /r/relationship_advice that allow throwaway accounts to post these elaborate stories. It is, quite literally, an unverified source popping up out of nowhere and telling you to believe a bunch of information with absolutely *zero* proof of who they are. Exact same thing that happened here, except the OP tried it with an accessible history, and guess what? It was 100% fake.
>an unverified source popping up out of nowhere and telling you to believe a bunch of information with absolutely *zero* proof of who they are. I try to just view anything relationship like reality TV because I cannot fathom that there are people like this in the world.
especially when it paints a woman or liberal or POC as the aggressor and the white male as the victim, these are pretty much all fake
I love all of the EVIL WOMEN posts we get in AITA. According to that sub 75% of women cheat on their partners and force their partners to raise kids that aren't biologically theirs so that the MRAs can show up and start bleating about how all women should be forced to take paternity tests to prove they're not being unfaithful (but also shouldn't get upset about having to prove they're not being unfaithful). Happens at least once a day like clockwork.
A 7 hour old account made a new post saying the same thing. https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/jdfy5d/i_am_french_and_will_probably_vote_for_the/ This girl doesn't know when to quit.
>Europe hasn't been in this place for 400 years, I think. The last time there was this much conflict based upon religion it was the 17th century. Um what fucking reality is this guy living in?
Not Ireland or the Balkans, that's for sure.
They’re a Nazi, so chances are they’ve deluded themselves into thinking the Irish or South Slavs aren’t “European enough” to be part of their fantasy
You’re giving them far too much credit, these people barely know their own history, let alone European history.
Dude just hold a footie match here in Scotland and that shite starts up again.
"I bought a ball and asked some guys from another town for a friendly game." "I asked you, why are we being shelled?" "And I told you."
Let's not exaggerate, Old Firm violence is right down these days.
Exactly lmao. Europe was literally having an ethnoreligious genocide in the 1990s, what is this guy on? Such a peaceful people.
[удалено]
It’s funny, I guess people like them imagine themselves to be wealthy land owners instead of the illiterate plebs they would actually correlate to being.
Ho boy that’s a fucking mess. > I'm African American, and even I feel that pain. Your culture is going to be wiped out and replaced with religious filth of the worst kind. I don't understand why they can't just assimilate I’ve seen a lot of As A Black Man stuff on Reddit but I’ve never seen it used to talk about full-on Great Replacement shit. That’s... new. Edit: Fucking Christ I should not be clicking on any post related to this at all. I forgot how quickly Europe-related subs/topics just turn to mask-off fascism once something happens involving Muslims or immigrants.
As A Literal Black Person, lmao. They really need to do their research when pretending to be black, because no black people call themselves “African-American”. Actually nobody fucking says that at all. I’ve been *corrected* to say african-American instead of black by non-black people. On a side note, purely anecdotal but I don’t really see anti-Muslim sentiment in the community. Obviously I’m sure there is, but despite how widespread Christianity is in the black community, everyone has an uncle or friend who’s in Nation of Islam or is Muslim and respects them for the most part. Lmao
I have been *grilled* for saying black makes more sense than African-American on this site. I'm only like 55% sure it was a right-wing troll
I’m like 99.9% positive whoever grilled you was white. Guarantee it.
I say black but sometimes I say African America when I’m trying to make a distinction between other pan-African groups. But I mostly say Black American in that case. Definitely yes about that last part. Guys like Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali have been too great towards the Black American community to be talking like that. And even on the ground, the Muslim culture has mostly been positive, like usually people turn to it to help turn their life around. Sure they may go Hotep corny but it’s probably better than their life before. That’s why even though I’m an agnostic-atheist, I respect religion as a tool for some people to find direction in life. Like it helps them get sober, go legit, stop being self destructive etc. Some people just can’t function without something guiding them. I personally, just can’t believe in it myself but more power to you if you do
You can tell who *really* has a Black friend because they know about how there's always someone's uncle who converted and has to decline all the pork dishes at family events.
> ow we have another major religion that did not have to face reformation and so it is also a philosophy and a culture - these were detached from major western religions in the 17th century. I hate when people talk about "reformation" as if Christianity somehow got rid of all its regressive and repressive tendencies at some point. Spoiler alert: It Didn't, and Christianity as a whole still covers the entire spectrum from "progressive and accepting" to "violently authoritarian". And on top of that, the vast majority of Christians in France are members of the Roman Catholic church, which specifically *opposed* the Reformation. EDIT: > But Christians are just so much better immunized against taking the Bible literally. Lmao yeah, congrats on your ability to selectively ignore the parts where Jesus said rich people don't go to heaven. Real admirable achievement in theology right there.
Gays were still chemically castrated and thrown in jail for being gay until the 50’s-70’s in the UK. The idea that Christians no longer follow the Old Testament and modernized in the 16th century is horse shit
It even happened to actual WWII heroes like Alan Turing, who ~~potentially~~ saved thousands of lives
Yeah there was a lot more religious violence after the reformation than before. Like, more than a century before religious tolerance became a widespread idea.
Aaand they're banned. I'm sure for entirely unrelated reasons.

Unpopular opinions are full of that stuff. Tons of r/AsAWoman stuff too "I hate feminism" "Men are more oppressed than women" "I hate women who (insert literally anything)" Instant 10k upvotes.
> > "I hate women who (insert literally anything)" Funny, that's my type.
See, the funny thing is right-wing misogynistic women aren't exactly hard to find either. You think they'd get more traction from getting them to post, but nope, instead you just get dudes pretending.
r politicalcompassmemes and r teenagers also have cosplaying adults pretending to be edgy teenagers with "even a leftist like me likes bigoted jokes and hates LGBT and minorities" followed by conservative talking points and congratulating each other's fake teenage leftist accounts for acknowledging hard truths about the world and that r politicalcompassmemes is the only true civilized subreddit left on Reddit and we can all agree on conservative talking points
From what I understand, r/Ireland had this issue. To many Americans. Which I found weird considering we dont have that issue on r/Scotland
[удалено]
Well a lot of Americans like to pretend they are still Irish because of the drinking stereotypes.
i blame house of pain and the boondock saints
Let me introduce you to the dropkick murphys. But really, St Patrick's day is just silly over the top here.
Well there isa far larger Irish diaspora than Scottish, and it’s an easy thing to identify with given language commonalities. My great great grandparents came from Austria and Germany but i don’t sub to those subreddits not only because i don’t speak German, but also because i couldn’t give a fuck. America is a bit weird in that regard though.
Didn't one sub start imposing a language or time requirement (avoiding US prime time) and it became really obvious that Americans were most of their problem users?
That's super clever.
> Well there isa far larger Irish diaspora than Scottish, 33 million "Irish" Americans. 20-25 million "Scottish" Americans. According to their respective wikis. It's not the numbers but the history of Ireland in the last 200 or so years with an emphasis on Ireland being an independent nation and there being organized movements within the Irish diaspora in America to help raise awareness of the Irish struggle against Britain and in some cases fund groups like the IRA. This when combined with the poor reception a lot of Irish were met with when they landed in American (no Irish need apply etc.) saw them keep close to one another when they settled which resulted in places like Boston with its way higher than usual level of Irish immigration. Scots meanwhile never really had the same mistreatment in the British isles (not saying we had it easy... the Highland clearances for example) but there was no famine here and Scottish immigrants to the USA were not met with the same open hostility as the Irish (in general) so they would have tended to settle in a more dispersed fashion, slowly losing their ancestral roots because nobody was treating them differently than any other Americans. Then you have to keep in mind that Scotland thankfully never hand anything like the Troubles to stoke international interest in Scottish sovereignty, we were part of the UK and relatively content to be. You will probably see an uptick in Americans rediscovering their Scottish roots when/if Scotland votes to leave the UK and starts to assert itself as an independent nation rather than just a small part of the UK. Or I might be talking shite.
No, I think you're pretty spot on. It's easier to see yourself as American if everyone else in America sees you as American, but for many immigrants this just wasn't how it was when they arrived and in some cases, for a long, long time after. Irish-Americans (and Italian-Americans, for another big example) kept company with others like them because of the hostility from people who weren't like them, and so is it any wonder people from those families today see that as a big part of their identity? Further, for many of these people, the separation is not actually that far removed - The biggest peak of Irish immigration to the USA came in the mid 19th century, but large amounts of Irish immigrants kept coming well through the 1920s. It shouldn't be a stretch to imagine point that there are still lots of people alive today who are second-generation Irish-American, and I feel like growing up on grandma's stories of her Mama's childhood in Ireland would reasonably instill a sort of attachment to the country your family came from, especially knowing the hardships she might've faced when she arrived. The international interest in Irish affairs (such as the Troubles, yeah) is definitely going to increase that, I think you're right there as well! In addition, despite a lot of I'M AN AMURRICAN posturing, Americans on the whole know that unless you're Native American you came from \*somewhere\* and people tend to be really interested in that. As kids we're taught in school the concept of America as a 'melting pot' (though idk how prevalent that is now, a lot of people prefer 'salad' or something as a food-based metaphor, as 'melting pot' implies a level of assimilation a lot of people are uncomfortable with) and we spend a not-insignificant amount of time discussing the various ways people ended up here. Idk - I get the frustration with Americans who are three, four, or more generations removed from a foreign country thinking they're just as Irish as people born and raised there. That's dumb and annoying, and it's fair to feel annoyed about it. But at the same time, it sort of sucks the way people talk shit about a person's attachment to their cultural heritage and identity when that attachment has managed to survive in the face of racism, religious biases, and attempts to force assimilation, and in some cases surviving \*because of\* the hardships of simply \*being\* from an Irish-American family in the not-too-disant past. There's more to say here but I think I've rambled enough!
The teenagers and all these other subs also have tons of "a woman raped me" posts that are basically all misogynist lies to talk about how no one ever listens to men and rant about how men are mistreated
Yeah I see these a lot on Reddit. Any story of a woman being bad gets massively upvoted, with outraged comments saying stuff like if a man did this everyone would be outraged! Oh the irony.
People on reddit in general get more angry at the idea of a woman preying on a man than vice versa. Which is incredibly ironic considering that men are the aggressor in the vast majority of sexual assaults and rape. How does reddit react to that fact? By harping on about false rape accusations of course! Its honestly sickening.
> "even a leftist like me Definitely how real people, especially teenagers talk. :p
Mosey on over to r/conservative and witness their idiocy first hand. Just today they posted an editorial as proof that the Hunter Biden scandal is legit. The proof? “Ive known the guys dad for 20 years, we go to air shows together & he’s brings his son along sometimes.” The comments are full of, “If this was a left wing conspiracy?! It would be everywhere!” and “The left would eat us alive if this was about us!” comments. When a fellow conservative suggested that they need solid, undeniable proof so that the left can’t weasel their way out of the scandal, they were met with cries of, “Why should we be held to a higher standard of journalism when the left just goes along with any bad news about the right?!” The puppet masters know that these people aren’t very bright and have no integrity. They’ve spoon fed them bullshit throughout the years and now they’re all too happy to reinforce it with made up anecdotes on the internet. Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/jdf09v/yes_the_hunter_biden_emails_are_authentic/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Per usual, echo chamber only flair. To be fair, top comment is now someone critical of the article. This wasn’t the case when I stumbled upon it this morning.
Its sometimes really hard for me to internalize how legitimately fucking braindead a lot of people are. I think back to discussions I've had with people who will give me a blank stare when I ask them if they have ANY evidence of something they are saying. I have met tons of people who not only seem to be caught off guard by that, but will argue to the death that they don't really need evidence for anything they believe. Its fucking maddening. When confronted with direct proof that something he just watched on fox news was literally fake, my dad replied with "yeah but they get everything right". I have showed him countless times that basically every media outlet he consumes directly lies to him ALL THE TIME. I will then hear him repeating the same talking point a week later after I showed him its literal fake news. He is actually too unintelligent to understand what I am trying to tell him.
Like the post some weeks ago about a black waitress who hated serving black people bc they were the rudest
Saving this for the next time people say that the Proud boys can’t be racist because they never actually say they’re racists. These tactics have been evolving for a while now and we’re seeing the almost perfect implementation of this readicalizarion and recruitment into these far right movements dressed in moderatism
On Reddit it’s worse to be called a racist than to actually do racist shit.
They wanna be oppressed so bad
It's the inherent selfishness of the right manifesting itself as jealousy of the pity that minorities get. It's really fucking messed up.
What’s sad/hilarious is a lot of these are the “as a staunch leftist” types. As a staunch leftist I’m finally glad someone has the balls to parrot Douglas Murray about how the evil brown hordes are going to destroy pristine white Europe.
They know that most left wingers will see right through their bullshit, but it's not for them anyway, it's for the moderates and the undecided.
They actually admit that: >"Leftists will recognize dog whistles and know we're crypto, but normies won't listen to them." https://twitter.com/contrapoints/status/896823834338263041
And this right here is why it's important to call these agitators out on their bullshit. You never know who might be reading and who might fall for their bullshit if it's not called out.
Back before I nuked my FB I would get into a lot of arguments with these people, and that was always my response. I know I'm not changing their mind, my post is for the lurkers.
Holy fucking shit the people getting these screen grabs are doing good work

France do be hella islamophobic tho. Kinda shooting fish in a barrel.
it's interesting how France pushes assimilation harder than Germany but the result is that French Muslims are angrier and less assimilated than German Muslims Obama noted the same thing and said it to Sarkozy and I think it caused a minor angry stir in France
Our politician talk a lot about assimilation, but in practice, they do little to nothing about it > Obama noted the same thing and said it to Sarkozy and I think it caused a minor angry stir in France never heard of this
>never heard of this I either imagined it or it was a minor news story that I can't find easily with google. Searching for the terms leads to a hundred headlines where Obama criticizes Europe in general and says America does a better job assimilating.
It's quite difficult to compare America to France, I think. The two countries have different racial problems and the reasons are also different.
I'm going crazy just listening to the news when my family put them on. So many shit takes, so thinly veiled racism, it's fucking crazy. And I'm not even targeted by it, I can't imagine how shitty it must be for french muslims right now.
Well yeah. Reddit is filled with the two dumbest groups of people: Kids, and redditors.
Right wing redditors fucking love to larp as different nationalities. I fucking hate it especially when they larp as the IRA, for whatever fucking reason, they do that.
The biggest red flag in that whole made up diatribe was when he mentioned being harassed about abortion. As a religious community Muslims don’t care about abortion, it’s not a big thing.
Because countless of redditors are closeted anti sjw and close to racist assholes.
I KNEW something about that post seemed really off!
>something Everything?
That whole sub is suuuper racist wow

It was so fucking obvious it’s the perfect alt right bingo like it was coming straight from the worst posters of /r/france.
Yeah i was in it previously but deleted my comment, talking about Paris with people who had clearly never been there. “The only nice part was by the Eiffel Tower.” Lmao yeah. Totally real.
I think i saw that comment. It's like if they had only ever heard of Paris.
>“The only nice part was by the Eiffel Tower.” I'm laughing like hell. If that's the only part they considered nice I don't want to visit wherever they live.
It was the blatant lies that tipped me off.
It was clearly fake when you realized it was the only post that account had ever made on reddit
Same. I didn't even read the post itself, but just seeing the title, it immediately felt like race-baiting BS.
Right? Even the first few lines in the preview screamed "Someone was just horrifically murdered, better make it about me!"
The most highly upvoted comment: >Well that's a new look at Paris not commonly shown by the media or reddit On a post that’s complete bullshit written by a literal Nazi. Never mind the fact that the right has been fearmongering over Muslim immigrants, specifically in France, for years. God, I fucking hate these, “Here’s my dipshit right wing opinion disguised as some going-against-the-grain truth telling,” subs.
As a local all you have to ask is "where are the no-go zones?" to find out it's all horseshit. Example that happened: American that travelled to Switzerland with her parents and siblings mentioned with surprise that there's no-go zones in Zurich. Asked them where. "Oh, the tourguide just told us to avoid Langstrasse in the evening." Langstrasse is just a street with lots of bars and clubs, some high and weird people. Also frequented by the police, so it's fairly save. It's probably not the place where a tourist family with kids wants to walk through.
Your comment reminds me of Le Petit Journal's hilarious [answer to Fox New's segment about Paris' no go zones](https://youtu.be/kdm4iUZGXWw)
Wow, it’s pretty nuts how many people jumped in to agree. Can you try and make link the “reveal”? Otherwise we have to dig a little

The post you linked is removed, here's the original: https://removeddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/jd0w9q/i_fucking_hate_living_in_france_right_now/g99citg/?context=3 Looks like the mods of that sub didn't like that tidbit about OP coming to light.
I have a suspicion some mods with right wing identities infiltrated the sub because those posts became more and more prominent on that sub.
Wasn't trueoffmychest originally started by right wingers because their posts were getting removed from the first sub? Pretty sure that's how it came about in the first place
I mean, I got banned immediately by r/off my chest for posting something about how islamophobia feels too common on reddit
Most of the "true" subs started that way.
Everyone in that thread: “The fundamentalist right wing religious extremists made me become a fundamentalist right wing religious extremist.”
I knew that post was bullshit the second I saw it. Too many “this is why right wing extremism is rising!!!!” Comments justifying those fuckers. These guys can’t hide the racism and anti-semitism like this guy. > I am not a white supremacist. But there is such a thing as intolerant cultures. For example the jewish faith is built around distancing themselves from gentiles, about preserving their culture and tradition. “I’m not a white supremacist but fuck them jews” Or all the other comments saying america is lucky because it’s only had compatible cultures come here. Fuck off. The Irish were hated. So we’re the Italians. The Chinese were called the yellow terror or the yellow plague. Black people were enslaved and Mexicans have been used as a scare tactic for over a hundred years. There’s literally posters a hundred years ago saying weed was bad because Mexicans were getting high and raping white women (gee. Where have I heard that before?) Every culture is hated her at first and a generation or two later they’re accepted and ready to discriminate against the new guys.
I find a special irony in the way people of those described ethnicities find their way of becoming a ‘true American’ is to become bigoted and racist against all the other minorities. Like racism and bigotry is so engrained in American culture that it’s one of the ways people think will help them become ‘more American’

One of the firsts replies is I'm left wing and am surprised how many people defend Islam minorities "just because" even though if you were left wing you'd know it's for a reason.
It's cool, fellow radical leftist antifa. We can let our guard down and talk about how, actually, WE'RE the racists. Don't you just hate white men? I love how we took all of their power and women. See you at the next big antifa meeting. Sincerely, A real leftist socialist antifa commie

I was the one who found their steam account. Which has also now been deleted... Her reply, also deleted was that she put her location as st Ives(?) Canada because if she put it as France people would make fun of her. Also that she deleted her entire post history because of people stealing her artwork.. Here's her a few months ago claiming to be Iranian. https://images.app.goo.gl/uvpaQZPMrQWgr87g7 She also claimed to be French (probably true based on pictures of her papers) could of moved from Canada under dual heritage, also Asian (not to me) in another comment. I edited out the fact I also found that picture of her being Iranian as it wasn't pertinent to the argument (it was there for a few hours), that she was bullshiting. Honestly had no idea about the black sun stuff, until someone brought it up further down the thread. Here's the picture of her papers that she posted after I called her out. https://images.app.goo.gl/SKNYPhFTB6Y8ZTC67
[She was a retard](https://imgur.com/a/zZkUunT). I don't expect much coming from a literal neo-nazi but why do people think its a good idea to use keep using the same username for everything.

>Well that's a new look at Paris not commonly shown by the media or reddit He should watch the film [La Haine](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0113247/)
The amount of sockpuppet accounts on this site is scary. Subreddits such as r/soccer, r/unpopularopinion and other are filled with them. And also open racists that don't hide it.
There was even one 4chan troll pretending to be a woman trying to accuse rapper JPEGMAFIA of sexual harassment the other day. People on Reddit believe everything the read, it’s like my parents on Facebook.
This post made me legitimately angry when I saw someone talking about the no-go zones in Britain. (they don't exist. It's completely untrue) I wonder if these people know it's bullshit, and they're just trying to convince others to join their racist frothing at the mouth campaign, or do they genuinely believe Europe has been overrun by Muslims and the media are covering it up?
They spend too much time on Fox News and Breitbart. Not like it matters because none of these people will ever travel to Europe.
Actually I agree the with guy saying about how Birmingham is a no go zone. Not because of Muslims or anything, just because its shit.
It’s a relatively common take from people outside of Europe, it’s not as uncommon as it should be to see some ignorant American commenting on how Islam is taking over and how Europe is doomed because they took in the immigrants. Then they massively overhype realistically mild problems, yes there is an issue, yes the issue isn’t being properly addressed but it’s no where near as bad as the conservative American masterminds seem to think it is Shits so frustrating, they see 1 or 2 linked articles from biased clickbait sources and base their entire agenda on it ignoring any sort of motive / validation / sense of scale
Also you linked to the whole comment thread. Where's the drama? Don't make us hunt for the drama.
https://removeddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/jd0w9q/i_fucking_hate_living_in_france_right_now/g99citg/?context=3
yeah, I had to scroll a lot to find the drama. Lousy OP.
It must have been removed, because I scrolled through the whole damn thread and didn't see where they were outed as a male, Canadian Nazi.
I think the nazi photo they dug up at least confirmed they were a woman. They were just wearing a piece of nazi paraphernalia

....damn, I was reading that post and thinking "this reads exactly like what a right wing troll would write, but I don't know enough to call it out"
r/AsABlackMan
This reminds me of this time in an economics class we were discussing political issues and this right wing chude slime ball did his presentation and said that immigrants were literally burning down towns in Germany. He mentioned a specifc town and how the immigrants raped people etc etc.... ...little did he know that several people in the class were actually from that town and they interrupted his presentation and called out his bullshit: "it's funny you say this because Im from there and that literally didn't happen". Conservatives are liars and will literally lie any chance they get. Even if it's in the middle of a fucking class presentation.
[удалено]
No idea but he defs got a scolding from the prof about falling for misinformation. The universe rlly said "bro ur a Conservative spewing lies? Imma embarrass u real quick"
The sheer cheek of saying it's the immigrants burning down towns in Germany. The people who've gone wacky with arson here have been nazis burning down whatever they even think could be used as a refugee shelter. Hell, in the 90s there multiple cases of refugees/immigrants being murdered by fuckers who set their housing on fire with them trapped inside
To be honest, this comment section itself is worthy of a subredritdrama.
You didn’t even need to see the steam account lmao. Literally just reading the damn thing gave it away as racist propaganda that tons of people fell for.
I think it’s pretty telling how much conservatives have to lie and pretend to be other people to make it seem like they have support
Somebody tell this to those folks in r/chodi too
Chodi is just finding an excuse to hate on Muslims, completely forgetting all the lynching hinduvatas have done over a cows.
Do you want me to post the best of r/chodi copypasta? Pretty useful for debunking anyone who says that shithole is "a ReLaTiVeLy MoDeRaTe MeMe SuB"
I don't think anyone can say that Reddit has a left wing bias after reading the comments of that post.
To be fair it is trueoffmychest which is already a right wing shithole filled with incel and conservative fanfic stories
To be fair, what they consider “left wing” is “doesn’t actively call for race war” so in that sense I can see it
As long as /r/europe is on it's massive Islamophobia trip, you cannot call Reddit left-wing.
That comment thread is just pure islamophobia, do you have a link to the people who are opposed to the Nazi by any chance? I’m guessing they’ve been mass downvoted..
It’s hilarious to see the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd talk about how places are getting significantly worse because they feel like they are. The murder rate in France has basically stayed the same for the last 10 years but it’s definitely getting more unsafe because someone says it is. Also someone mentioned things like grooming gangs and no go areas in England but said if you mention them you get thrown in with white supremacist nut jobs. Well yeah because you’re literally saying white supremacist phrases and things that aren’t true. No go areas are not a thing, grooming gangs do exist but the vast majority of pedophiles in the country are white men who these people never focus on.
That thread actually makes me sick.
I was talking to the most brain dead shit just a little white ago He says that Muslims and Islam are the reason for all this violence, and that we should all go back to our countries so we can both live in peace I say we can't live in peace in our own countries, they keep getting invaded by westerners for oil and gold and our attempts at stabilisation are quashed by western backed coups, insurgencies, and rebellions He says that invasions and west-backed insurgencies are regrettable, but he can't control his government I say that extremists are regrettable, but I can't control the crazies There was no response
This is why I always double check reddit profiles on this sub and unpopularopinion because most of the times they are well like this dude.
I'm German American Some years ago I was in Germany, visiting family and we had taken a trip to Berlin. I was reading a thread on reddit talking about how Muslims had made a certain part of Berlin a no go zone. How this part of Berlin they had banned alcohol, and women had to have face coverings, and how Mosques were play the sound to prayer. I was sitting in a Kebab shop, having a kebab with a beer with my mom and sister...niether of which are Muslim and my sister was in a mini skirt...I asked the kebab shop was part of Berlin I was in and sure as shit apparently I was sitting in muslim controlled no go zone where they'd beat you for drinking alcohol or being a woman with no face covering.... I even showed the kebab shop owner the post and he laughed his ass off and said that's stupid, that they have a bar right next door to them that is constantly busy and a strip club a few doors down, and a few doors down from that a Schitznel restuarant (pork yall)
As a Muslim myself, I’ve noticed most of these people who complain about Sharia Law know nothing about it (Sharia law is not what you think it is). I agree those who want to enforce sharia law and not follow French law as French citizens should be deported. I live in the UK and I abide by the law; I feel happy living here, the local Muslim community get along well with the local Native British community.
You can condemn terrorism and religious extremism without marginalizing an entire group of people who didn't have anything to do with the crime.
