Fuck this, I lived through 9/11 and the stupid fucking Islamophobia that strangled NYC for a decade plus, fuck the NYPD for surveilling innocent muslim New Yorkers just trying to live their lives, fuck Christians who ignore the permission for violence in their own religion to clutch their pearls and fear monger about Islam, fuck dumb bigots who make generalizations about ~2 billion people.

TWO BILLION PEOPLE

How can you possibly deduce ANY meaningful generalization about 2 billion people that isn't just a generalization about humanity more broadly?

Stoking Islamophobia has lethal real world consequences, people will and already have been radicalized into real and pointless violence from seeing these kinds of ideologies proliferating.
