Imagine being so fearful that someone praying in another language triggers you to pepper spray them. What is wrong with people?
I can't imagine what it feels like for a Uber driver. Riders are literally behind you, sitting in the back seat. There was a tiktok video of a psychopath jokingly pointing a gun at her driver.
The entire religion, xtians too, is a sociopathic physical, mental, and social abusive of all women. She was right to freak the fuck out. They tend to do a little more than prey.
What the fuck is wrong with you? This guy wasn't hurting anybody by praying, and you don't know anything about his other beliefs. Not every Muslim or Christian is a hateful, bigoted maniac. Most were raised in their respective religions from birth and don't know any different.
This kind of "all religious people are monsters" thinking screams "angsty teenager from r/atheism" and you should rethink your position. Be better.
Not worth trying to reason with someone from .ml.
I'm not talking about the suckers. I'm talking about the victims. IDC about those that aren't any more than suckers because enough of them aren't that it's worth being fucking warned of your current probable threat.
Ah, so I'm guessing you're fully behind the Uyghur genocide that Xinping is committing.
IDK, probably.
If you're freaked out by everyone praying then ok still a bit weird but I can get it
If you're only freaked out by Muslims praying you're racist as fuck
Racist is ignorant. Yes, Xtians are bad. Muslims kind of take that sociopathy with some ridiculous excessive limitless abuse though. I despise Xtians and they should all die too but Muslims are cutthroat and will just fucking kill you right now for not wearing mask.
You don't get it, sucker. Preying is to stop you from listening to God. IT'S GOD. The only thing missing is your choice. Sucker.
I'd argue edgy atheists are even worse. They'll kill you and your entire family and then eat your pets and shit on your lawn just for believing in God.
If you disagree, you just don't get it sucker.
