I think it depends on the atmosphere/subject of the thread. If the thread is about some lunatic gunning down people in the name of Islam you'll have the ratings/posts swing towards anti Muslim/Islam while if the thread is about some Muslims feeding the poor the ratings/posts will be more in favor of them. I think the majority of facepunch are against Islamophobia, at least I hope so.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;48082096]You can't say things that are profusely retarded and then hide behind them being sarcastic/ironic because that's no better than ironic shitposting. Because then you have people like spirit_breaker who show up and start shitposting unironically due to your bait. It also makes you sound like a twat proper.[/QUOTE] If that's all it takes to get people like spirit_breaker to ban themselves with a torrent of ridiculous hate speech, then I really need to step up my game. [editline]/[/editline] Muslims are regular people, just as capable of bravery and heroism as anybody else. They are not lesser for their religion or place of origin, and they are not defined as a whole by the radicalized minority. I wonder which volatile xenophobe will become enraged by [I]this[/I] statement?

The discussion would have been much more interesting if you didn't.

If posting that Muslims are human beings as opposed to inherently evil puppet men makes Islamophobes angry, that is their problem, not mine.

Call him out on his conspiracy theories. There are easier and less messy ways to get people to say stupid shit.
