HOW DO I REBLOG THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
Tag: islamophobia
My white supremacist, islamophobic, conspiracy theorist uncle is here right now and I’m dealing as best I can by chewing the heck out of my Droplet from stimtastic (to save my poor hands) and reading adorable Steve/Bucky gay porn. I figure that combined with being unrepentantly queer and autistic is as close as I can get to punching fascism in the face today seeing as how he’s not my guest and it’s not my house.
“Seriously, can old white dudes please stop saying shitty things about Islam? Because every time they do I’m scared all Muslims will think we’re like that which is pretty much how all Muslims feel when a terrorist kills people in the name of Allah. And for those accusing me of defending Islam, and a lot have said that this week, I’m defending common sense. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world right now. 1.6 billion. As someone pointed out on twitter this week, if Islam really bred terror, we’d all be dead right now. The combined forces of Islamic State, Boko Haram and Al Qaeda makes up 0.003% of the global Muslim population. Less than 2% of all terror attacks are carried out in the name of Islam. You’ve got more of a chance of being killed by a bee sting, a peanut or the NHS. And I’m sure most Australians are lovely, but until we recognize the festering puss sore that is Rupert Murdoch maybe we need to be held accountable as well ‘cause having said all that, I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe we should be congratulating Rupert Murdoch. Because in a sorely divided world, what we need right now is unity and whether you’re a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist or a Jew, I think we can all agree that Rupert Murdoch is a massive fuck knuckle.”
I will never not reblog this gif set whenever it comes across my dash.
Yep, this dude always makes me feel less despairing about the human race. His face when he gets called a hero is like, “Wait, what? That is so ridiculous.” That tells me that he lives his life like that, and never stopped to think about it before someone shoved a camera in his face for it.
