A penalty for islamophobia in America? The country that invented islamophobia? The country built on discrimination and slavery? Good one.

I can't wait for the day the whole shit burns down.

    I'm pretty sure if there's a country that invented Islamophobia it's either the Papal States or somewhere in central Europe and did it before people were aware that there were two clusters of continents on different hemispheres.

    America absolutely got really in on it, but at our founding we were generally ok with Islam. But yes we were built on genocide and slavery.

    I read that dudes comment and thought the same thing. Pretty sure the Crusades got the good ole USA beat by hundreds of years in the realm of islamophobia.

    But also yeah the islamophobia is the USA is obnoxious and loud. As a white dude, I hate and get annoyed by all of that bullshit and the fact that when I'm travelling down south everyone assumes I'm a racist white guy and says dumb shit to me.

    Yeah I really don't want to discount our country's real problems, but I also don't want to lend credence to the idea that it was founded as a Christian nation or that it's always been wholly evil in every way.

    Also I don't want Europeans to brush off the islamophobia that they have as well. We all need to do better in this area.
