Anytime, I've noticed that the level of misinformation on Muslims is way higher on Lemmy that it was on Reddit 😞
Reddit taught me that correcting people on misinformation on Islam is a waste of time. I remember an argument I had with some dickhead where he called me "bonkers" for being Muslim, citing only the most inhumane behaviors and mindests that could loosely be attributed to the faith
In the same sentence they'll go from acknowledging that muslim != extremist, right back to generalizing about the whole belief system.
I just wish they'd fucking internalize some of the lessons they're given and allow it to temper their bigotry.
Appreciate you pointing this out
