why is that hate speech? i don’t want more churches built, is that hate speech?
Because it's a Muslim church and you don't like them?
Because you're an anti-theist?
Because you don't like the noise?
Because you think their application for a zoning exception is shaky?
I mean the French, British, Russians, Spanish, Germans, Americans, Italians, etc. are all extremely different but they nonetheless get lumped into 'White (which is damn-near the same thing as ethnically Christian).
> nonetheless get lumped into 'White (which is damn-near the same thing as ethnically Christian).
you said it yourself, it's lumping everything together. This never leads to anything good, just look at Jugoslavian war, same people or at least closely related ethnically and nevertheless so atrocious; that's what religion, hate and envy for patches of lands could lead to.
How does that work? Russians are ethnically Christian I presume, but they are Orthodox Christians so do they get a license to rail against the Catholic church or would that be "hate speech". What about railing against Mormons? Or does that only extend to the religious sect that is traditionally associated with that ethnic group in that particular area?
I see the idea I think, but it seem it needs to be defined a bit more precisely to be useful.
They should be allowed to speak but they ain't borrowing my megaphone. Good on Facebook for feeling the same (at last).
I don't agree with islam's stance on gays and women and adultery. Hence no more mosques.
Am I a hater?
No, you are intolerant of hate and prioritize human rights about superstition, custom, and tribalism.
Preventing the construction of mosques and churches does not actually help women and gay people. All it does is hurt their enemies, and that is not the same thing.
They got banned a while back, not relating to this specific advert.
Yes. What business is it of yours what people do behind closed doors?
(EDIT: assuming that behavior is otherwise law-abiding, in compliance with building codes, etc).
Besides, there are valid reasons to be against the building of a church near your house - noise for example (church bells, prayer songs).
Ie, I can't sit behind closed doors and commit horrible crimes against humans and then claim "What business is it of yours?".
That of course is not to say that we don't have some right to privacy, to independence and etc. Yet, standing behind a claim of "what happens behind closed doors is none of your business" seems to willfully ignore so much.
Religion has historically always been used as a tool to assert political power. Mosques often get financed by undemocratic regimes, in particular Mohammad bin Salman's Saudi-Arabia, which most definitely funds Mosques in a political influence operation.
