        Idk about it being a racist term in general.

        1st of all because Islam is a religion not a race, and we are dealing with Christianity and Judism which are also religions.

        And yes, it is a term to group 2 of 3 Abrahamic religions. One that is an offshoot of the other.

        Islam is different in that it rejects much of the Old Testament.

        So its a term that refers to the group of people that believe the Old Testament.

        Its a term. People have used it when making racist policies, but that doesn’t make the word racist.

          It’s a term invented and popularized by racist people to make racist policies (yes even Orwell - “Shooting an Elephant” is sus af) . There is already a term that refers to all three Abrahamic religions! By specifically excluding Islam, they are able to exclude the Arab world and all those nonwhite Muslims and make them into an Other. It’s an underpinning ethical framework for shit like the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, overthrowing Ghaddafi and the Muslim Brotherhood and plunging North Africa into chaos, and ethnically cleansing Palestine.

          It needs to fucking stop.

            So people can never refer to judism amd christianity by them selves?

            People should be able to talk about them in any combination of one, two, or three that they want. Thats how open intellectual shit happens.

            I think your passion has clouded your logic and debate.

              You are glossing over the question of why they would be choosing to refer to only 2 out 3 related religions.

              Do the brain thing yourself before you judge people for it. Some people talk big about debate and intellectuality even though they are the first to disengage and dismiss others’ arguments.

                Yours is the side telling people they cannot use the term or even consider the concept jnown as ‘Judeo-Christian’ without being an irredeamable racist.

                I judge people who tell me what things i can and cannot think about and what words i can use.

                I call them facists.

                  Here we have it, that’s just an emotional outburst. Before considering reasons and examples, you are making it into a threat, lumping people into “sides” and trying to flip a perceived accusation around, one that wasn’t even aimed at you, mind you, but you are taking the pains as if it were.

                  Nevermind that you didn’t even bother to elaborate on this connection exclusively between judaism and christianity.

                  It seems like you just want to argue that you can say and think it, which is not the same as that being valid or correct. Yeah, you sure can say whatever you want, and it just might be nonsense.

                  But really? Calling someone racist means they are a fascist? You are aware that racist people do exist, right? Just because you may make the association innocently, that doesn’t mean the same applies to everyone. And pointing it out is not the same as throwing them in jail for it.

                    “You” are the one arguing in support of control over thoughts and ideas. That is pretty damn facist in my head.

                    If people cant consider things in order of understanding, the intentions, the structure of claims, the flaws, etc. the people will just be ripe for the next populist rhetoric scam.

                    Racists exist in all races. Patriots from.a nations. Fans for every team. Stans for every car brand. Etc.

                    Time, experience, and age usually sort shit out better than outlawing thought.

                    And yes, arguments have sides.

                  Well, to be fair, the Pentagon never wiped out the entire human race and forced it to restart from a single family.

                  So, God? More evil than the Pentagon.

                    That was done out of Love.
                    You can’t despise Him for that. You just can’t fully comprehend the meaning of Love because it is capitalized, like He said.

        Islam has a completely different code of ethics and morals compared to Judaism and Christianity. That much is self evident.

          lol I bet you actually believe that

          Christians 1000 years ago were basically the same and in many places in Latin America and Africa they still are.

          And well, they the nailed Jesus to a tree for being a trouble maker.

          Y’all’s the same.

            I’m not a christian, and if I remember correctly, all three abrahamic religions have changed over 1000 years. Christianity for the better while Islam has stayed stagnant in its views. Popular christian sects that accept new, western values are available seemingly everywhere while the same cannot be said about Islam.

              Other popular Christian sects want to torture women to death instead of letting them get abortions and want to specifically kill me for being trans.

              Different assholes, all the same shit.

      As an ex-christian, let me tell you, christians cannot even agree or follow a consistent moral code among themselves, nevermind including whole other religions. Catholics vs evangelicals is a whole thing. This is total bulshit.
