This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.

Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.

This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn’t quite sure where else to post this lol.

    Whatever, the whole point is the religion shouldn’t be in schools in the first place. Get it out.

    As Jewish person my school literally had propoganda posters on the wall explicitly justifying genocide and blaming Palestinians for their own deaths

    I’m pretty sure there have been plenty of Jews, Muslims, Atheists, and others that have bled for the US too.

      It is pointless to engage with that point of their argument, because the underlying premise that the 10 commandments are hung in the classroom on account of Christians dying for the US is even more wrong.

      So by entering the discussion about whether Muslims have fought and died for the US, they will imply that you have accepted their underlying premise. There is no good faith arguing with fascists.

    “Christians” also stole this land and genocided people who had lived here since long before they came. Those who don’t like this should return to where their forefathers came from, no?

      Didn’t the Christians have slaves that they brought over fight too? I’m sure some of them had different religious beliefs.

        Ouch, did I completely forget that part. Yup, those cultures also must be made widely known

      No, because, you see, after a certain amount of time the land just defaults to the ownership of whoever currently occupies the land, morally speaking 🥰. Why yes, I do happen to be the current occupant of the land, why do you ask? Oh, the amount of time? That depends, of course!

    Wrong… A simple google search shows that Muslims did indeed fight in the US revolutionary war along side other colonists

        They’re part of the Old Testament, which pulls from Jewish scripture, but it’s all Abrahamic to me. They should post the Beatitudes if they really want to keep things Christian-specific, but they won’t. Why? Just read them (and the corresponding Woes in Luke) and you’ll see. The Wikipedia article should be enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes

          Mmm problem with the beatitudes is they’re kinda pretty open to interpretation. What do you consider merciful or righteous? Sure its narrowed down pretty well if you follow all of his teachings… but that’s asking a lot of modern American Christians.

    Islam is still of the same lineage (Abrahamic).

    They need to toss in unrelated & troll religions.

    Christians fought for the land? You are talking about the genocide of native Americans? The same ones that owned slaves?.. Yeah ok, I understand why YOU like them so much now…

      That is why they are trying to ban the facts you just shared.

      Nothing but pro-White Nationalism propaganda allowed

      About 20-30% of the people enslaved and deported to the US were Muslims.

      The “Christians” brought Islam to North America by force.
