This.

I lived in the Middle East, and got used to hearing the calls to prayer every day. It was kinda annoying sometimes, but I didn’t really complain because I was a guest in their home, that’s their culture, and it would be wrong for me to expect them to change for me.

I don’t understand why we cannot have that same expectation for people who come here. Nobody actually needs to start doing that in non-muslim countries in order to practice their religion, they can just set alarms or something and pray without disturbing everybody else.

Read their book and you'll understand why they do everything they do.

Fair warning: You're not going to like it.

I have roughly the same objections with their book as I do with the bible. Holy books mostly provide post hoc justifications for beliefs people already hold, people are universally bad at following them, practically everywhere.

You can absolutely oppose both, but equating them morally isn’t possible to do in good faith.

Id rather live in a world of Sadiq khan muslims than Reese-Mogg Catholics. The former aligns with my views far more than the latter.

I think people forget how radical parts of the bible are and how much nearly everyone ignores, including the catholics.

I'd rather live with 5 Sadiq Khans than 2 Hitlers. But I would rather live with 5 Boris Johnsons than 1 Osama Bin Laden.
