      Dear fellow progressives, I’m an ex-Muslim, ex-Turkish citizen with Muslim parents. Hear me: #Reina has *everything* to do with Islam.

      We must criticise toxic ideologies like Islam/Christianity and protect the dignity/rights of all people if we want to progress as a species.

          Your radical atheism seems to have provoked a toxic sence of superiority and intellectual pride. DIsdain for faith is progress?

          I think they're so focused on their mission to 'protect the brown minority' that they don't see that people=/=ideas

          Exactly. Their ego & sense of self is predicated on defending the brown skin.

          They mostly just hold signs saying "fags will burn in hell" and shit. Creationism bullshit is a real issue tho.

          Christianity isn't a threat and shouldn't be equated with politics of The West. Individual Christians don't bomb & shoot Muslims
