Priory_of_Sion Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Doesn't seem that different from the violence towards Sikhs who are mistaken as Muslims. Good thing you can tell them apart by their cheeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xthetenth Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 The demographic that goes out to assault members of a religion generally has a vanishingly small overlap with the people who actually try to know things about that religion.

Sturgeon Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think that's generally true, though a certain religion is really struggling with its reputation right now, to the point that I think that holds less true in that case.

xthetenth Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Probably more true because they suddenly went from reasonably acceptable to totally loathed, so the sort of weird obsession most people who go out to commit hate crimes have isn't even necessary. I think that might have something to do with something every male member of a different religion wears becoming part of the visual shorthand for that particular religion because people just don't know and start recycling the confused imagery they were working with when starting. When the rate of crime against a demographic spikes by 1600% in year to year rates in a morning on the strength of four months, there's not much time to go and do proper research.

xthetenth Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's severely weird realizing all the nationalist stuff that only kind of got sorted out with huge amounts of problems less than a century ago. It was especially weird reading about post-Ottoman Arab nationalist thought in the context of the German and Italian nations being works in progress that seemed to be working but weren't really sorted out yet when the whole Arab Nationalism thing was starting as an ideology. If that had happened on a different chronology I don't doubt that some things would have gone considerably differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
