"Don't you have friends that are Muslims"
If I'm associating with anyone who believes that a couple kissing in public deserve to be beheaded - they should identify on time, SO THAT WE CUT OFF ALL TIES.
I do have friends that are Muslims, just like I have Christian friends, as a Christian who hardly criticizes the church and calls it's Nigerian leaders vermins, because that's who they are.
The ones who get offended, are the ones who benefits from the outputs of these vermins - others can see the truth.
You people don't have a problem with your compatriots who commit evil in the name of your religion, you don't call it out - your anger is against outsiders spotting the patterns.
Your imams preach it boldly, Christmas markets get attacked yearly, your religion justifies murder and amputation of body parts.
Not all Muslims are terrorists but why all terrorists are Muslims is a question you 'moderate Muslims' like to evade because to your religion supersedes humanity?
"You people talk as if you don't have Muslims in your life"
If you're a Muslim in my life, who thinks your religion is superior to humanity - please cut me off. NEVER interact with me again.
This has also been the basis upon which I interact with my Christian counterparts and family - I tell them all the time:
"If you think, that by virtue of been a Christian, you're superior to Muslims or any other religion - please avoid me".
The rational basis for which I approach tribalism, religion and a lot of other sociocultural labels - is that they're mostly inputted at birth.
If you were born in Kerala as opposed to the western part of Punjab, India - you're more likely to be an Hindu than a Sikh. The possibility of you being Christian is almost impossible.
If you were born in the Sahels of Sokoto as opposed to the hills of Enugu - you are 100% more likely to be Muslim than Christian.
If you were born to a family of 8 in Dakingari, Kebbi - you're most likely to be an out of school almajiri.
This is why the fundamental prism from which we should view everything and everyone, is HUMANITY.
FUCK YOUR RELIGION.
FUCK YOUR BELIEFS - AND
FUCK YOUR FAITH, if humanity is secondary to you.
You would have always been human but you could have been subscribed to a different faith and ideology - if your location and family was factored differently.
How then, are you in dubious faith, assuming the pedestal of superiority.
So, I didn't mutter.
If you're a Muslim in my life or Christian in my life - and when you see others who don't subscribe to your faith, you mentally assume yourself superior or you think your faith eclipses humanity;
PLEASE CUT ME OFF AND FUCK YOU.
