i don't know how y'all feel about ayaan hirsi ali, but i think the point she raises is relevant to all this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJkFQohIKNI
her video doesn't come off as an attack on religion or race, but rather value systems. however discussing any of the things she's talking about is a good way to get labeled "racist" or "islamophobic." and granted some people did cross that line before all this shit started
but i think the responses to the stuff ayaan talks about is actually driving more people to become racist or islamophobic. because when they say "this shit's not right" and the immediate response is "shut up you racist," it's teaching them all that stuff is because of that particular race/religion, even though it's not
in a perfect world the response would have been to address the value system causing all this shit.
