A court in Rabat convicted Ibtissame Lachgar, one of the leading figures of Moroccan feminism, for posting a photo of herself wearing a T-shirt that read 'Allah is lesbian.'
I don’t think putting her in jail is right in any way, but I don’t think it’s okay to just disrespect someone’s religion. Sure, to you it might be funny to belive in God or whatever, but to someone else it could be really important therefore I don’t think provocative slogans like this really do any good. if anything, they make things worse
I detest how one-way these things are. I am morally outraged any time I see a street preacher, or cultists giving out copies of their literature to children, or cultists coming to my door to question my beliefs. It’s morally abhorrent, as far as I’m concerned.
I’m supposed to tolerate their batshit nonsense but they’re allowed to do what they like? What makes their strongly held beliefs more important than mine?
Yes, because if we don’t let them do whatever they want in the name of their religion, it’s oppression. Literally the same as throwing them to the lions.
The shirt was a pro-feminism message that’s reportedly been used by groups in the past.
If you’re religion is, unfortunately, tied to oppression of rights, then I give 0 fucks if someone makes a statement or shirt or whatever about those messages.
Don’t shit on religious people for their nice beliefs, like don’t play thrash metal on blast in the parking lot of a bakesale for the church. But anythjng about it’s messaging or reach or the negative aspects and I’m all game.
If you can’t even prove that a concept has the slightest bit of truth to it, you have no right to command others not to say things about it that you don’t like.

It’s wild to me that people can’t accept different sexuality, but demand tolerance for their religious beliefs.

I will stop criticizing them when they stop controlling and/or influencing the laws and politics in my country.
Until then, their irrational beliefs are fair game.
