Why are Muslims pissed at the Indian PM? And calling for boycotting India? What do people even buy from India? Tuktuks?

Also why are they always pissed at someone or something? Someone needs a chill pill.

You can easily ignore this post. I don't even want to know what happened and I don't care. I just wanted to point out that this attitude is so outdated and absurd.

An indian MP on a heated tv debate about religion retaluated to comments made about hinduism said something about the Prophet marrying a child aged 6 and consummated the marriage at the age of 9 and that this is disgraceful.

She was suspended by her party and she has apologised and formally retracted her statement ... but it is not enough.

This is another episode in the ongoing problems in the way that India treats its minorities.

India exports oil, rice, gold, tea and medicines

@BabyLonia Apologies if I made you feel uncomfortable. I'm just talking about the Arab hashtagers who don't know who is doing what. They are only mad because the prophet was mentioned period. That to me is ridiculous. We need to care more about the present and the future. The past is long gone.

@BabyLonia Funny how that’s exactly what a lot of right-wing Christians on SW say whether Islam comes up. Almost like it’s coming from the same ethno-nationalist playbook…

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether i would not have answered if i was uncomfortable.

Personally i do think Modi has not acted well towards muslims in India, but i think this incident has been blown out of proportion.

Muslims do not like discussing the fact Aisha was a child when she got married. To condemn it would be condemning Muhammed and to condone it would be condoning sex with a child.

In every religion there is something that is disagreeable and if someone feels their religion is being attacked they will retaliate.
What she said was not untrue though.

@BabyLonia That's true that there are disagreeable aspects of every religion, but it's the reason it's brought up that I'm calling out. The people on SW who bring it up aren't trying to have an actual religious debate, they're just picking on one thing they know is controversial and "touchy" and using it to antagonize. It's done in bad faith.
