In wake of Orlando massacre, Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos demands “NO MORE ISLAM”

Gotta love right wing logic “let’s not politize this tragedy by talking about gun control but Muslims are scum and Trump 2016”! Classic hypocrisy.

Trigger warning: As expected for topic

I am growing quite tired of those who want to use semantics to shut down this discussion by saying “Well actually, he isn’t a rapist because the laws of California…..”

Considering how narrow California’s definition of rape is, by their logic no woman has ever raped a man in California either and since most legal definitions require the victim to be penetrated there, the MRA’s who use that dumb argument are verbally diminishing one of their few shields of +2 illusionary legitimacy just to defend Turner.

@personalpest – They still don’t. They just like having a supposed excuse to spew hatred about Muslims.

“For what it’s worth, the killer’s father told NBC that the shooting was likely motivated by his son’s hatred of gays. “This had nothing to do with religion,” he told them.”

Yeah, because the Quran doesn’t call homosexuals sinners who should repent or put to death, right? Oh, wait.
That’s the problem with many religious people. They try to lie, even to themselves, that their religion doesn’t teach what it does. Basically never Muslims admit that their religion is extremely violent, misogynistic, homophobic; “it’s all a lie!”. When they finally do, mostly after you shoved the Koran’s verses in their faces, they try to justify it.

I love it when those gay-hating, conservative guys try to play the protectors of LGBTQ’s lives and rights, though. Absurdly hypocritical.
They do the same when mentioning Islam’s views on women, “Islam oppresses women and treats them as second class citizens!”. Well, yeah it does, but so do you. Pick a side already, dude. We can see right through it.

Yes, this man was muslim and known by the FBI as a supporter of the IS. And he still was able to buy these weapons.
I’m not blaming the islam for it but of course it has some sort of connection to the crime but so does the fact they neither stopped him or that he could get his hands on guns nonetheless.

They should stop being so full of damn schadenfreude because they can say: “See, we were right about the bad muslims!”
Instead they could voice there sympathy for the victims. But than again I forgot they don’t care about homosexual, transgender, woman or PoC so they just want use countless deaths to push their own agenda.

So let me just say instead. Prayers to all people who were injured and to all those people who lost loved ones.

What Kootiepatra said. None of these people care about gay rights unless it gives them a chance to hate Muslims.

It’s a standard trope with the right. They only care about free speech when it helps them hurt minorities, only care about rape when it helps them demonise immigrants, only care about poverty when it helps them demonise jewish people, only care about violence when it helps them demonise black people, only care about children when it helps them hurt women, and only care about foreign governments when it helps them bomb brown people.

There’s a theme here. That theme is “worship power, then find a nice appealing veneer of civilisation to put over it.”

A FB friend (who is ex-Muslim) pointed out that Islam does have issues with homosexuality, so his religion may have indeed played a role in the shooting. Not the only one though, given that he was raised in the US and as a whole, our society definitely doesn’t think queer lives matter. We’re treated like shit left and right. We’re the butt of jokes. We’re denied workplace protections. We keep having people trying to strip us of the right to make use of public businesses and accommodations. We have people that want to reverse marriage equality. And so much more. I suspect the shooter’s motivations are at the nexus of religious and cultural bigotry.

@personalpest

Exactly. None of them cared before and they don’t care now. The same people who want to overturn marriage equality, criminalize gay sex, rip children from gay and lesbian parents, and criminalize transgender people using public restrooms are shedding crocodile tears right now because the shooter was a non-white Muslim. Mike Huckabee gave people thoughts and prayers when he shared a stage with Kevin “Kill the Gays” Swanson.

@Dave

He’s retweeting white supremacists now.

@WWofW Exactly.

It isn’t extremism

I don’t think he realizes how telling that statement is about himself. “It isn’t extremism”, as he and his ilk spread hate towards Muslims and a pic of him holding a gun. “It isn’t extremism”, as Trump dances a jig, cos he toldya so and victim blames LGBT+ folks for daring not to be vigilant enough. Vacuous and vile

If you need a sad, prescient, and somewhat uncomfortable laugh as much as I do:

@every single person saying that islam have trouble with homosexuality : christianism too. And homophoby don’t need religion to exist either.

The problem isn’t with Islam, but with the people who practice it. Fundamentalist islamists are indeed just as dangerous as christian one. And I am pretty sure we can find similar horros from bouddhists at least.
