An organization representing Indian Muslim Americans canceled its participation and withdrew its float from the yearly India Day Parade held in New York City over the inclusion of a float that celebrates a highly controversial, recently built Hindu temple, which is being criticized for showing anti-Muslim bias and bigotry.

now, anyone wants to talk about how many times do muslims curse non-muslims (and that too idol worshipers) in their daily 5 prayers?

sorry can’t do that

    Lots of Islamophobia in the comments here. It should be noted that plenty of Torah and Bible (several different versions) verses call for actions against one’s enemies. So, what’s the big deal with pointing out that the Quran does it too? All religion is trash, just let this shit go.

    Cherry picking and out of context, like the other guy’s:

    Zechariah 14:2 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

    Zechariah 10:5 5 Together they will be like warriors in battle trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame
