Love @rickygervais, but I’m so sick to death of ppl making this accusation
“You pretend to care about women oppressed under Islam, but you actually hate Muslims!!!”
Huh? How does that make sense?
I’m sure Ricky doesn’t speak out against animal cruelty because he hates animalshttps://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/1161923154673115136 …

But I'm simply saying that it's OK to criticise ideas, beliefs and behaviours. I do it all the time. But a small majority of racists DO use it to justify their bigotry. They muddy the water.

And then on the equally infuriating flip side, there are the virtue signalling idiots who label people like Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and myself, racist for criticising Islam along with all other religions.

I get that too. All the time. That’s why Im surprised you’d do the same thing. They have no right to label you or any of those fine men bigots...and you have no right to label anyone else either. The label is thrown around willy-nilly and that’s why ppl who could help stay silent

I didn't label anyone. I simply pointed out that some people don't understand the nuanced difference between hating Islam and hating ALL it's followers. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Please understand that when someone at your level hurls ‘bigots’ and ‘racists’ at ppl criticizing Islam, you make it more difficult for rational ppl to speak up. You make it harder for us to find allies in our fight to be

I know you do! I wouldn't want two of my fav ppl to fall out. I totally get what you're saying as my friend told me about this response from Ricky earlier. We actually felt the same way that you have expressed. I love you both but text can get misconstrued and wouldn't want that.
