I don't fly a flag either, much like most people.
Add to the reasons someone might fly a flag if you'd like to contribute rather than your psychobabble nonsense. Or maybe directly answer why you think the flag craze kicked off?.

i told you why it kicked off. The people that set up the campaign did it off the back of the school girl being dressed down for coming in wearing a union jack on culture day.

i'd say most people that want to fly the national flag do so as they want to feel proud and a sense of belonging to something bigger.

Scientology might give you a hard time.

All religions though have had their day in the sun with extremism and still do IMO, just depends where in the world we are talking about.

And currently can you name me the religion that still kills people if they say a word against it? In today’s day and age especially. Even worse when it threatens your own freedom of speech and goes against democracy.

Loads of killings for it in Africa still, under the veil of Christianity, big issue with it in Hindi, along with honour killings etc.

So yeh, happening everywhere in many religions.

Brilliant.

So please tell me how laughing and disagreeing with stupid made up stories is racist? Since this is what you replied. Let’s see your mental gymnastics on this one too.

From my basement I’ve been looking at the moon miraculously split with my telescope. Just happened to see some weird donkey flying over. I think he was on his way to a place that wasn’t even built at the time. I’m the parody.

Dude I'm not religious. I'm not sure why your approach is to discuss Islamic theology with me. Weirdo.

Well you have mentioned places that are quite backwards and not in modern civilised societies. So I don’t really look stupid. But I guess better to look stupid rather than being stupid.

Islam propagates the notion of sharia of which its followers are meant to follow and not speak against. So by default has no place in a democracy. And all of those mentioned have underlying unrest in the areas if you do your research and a provocation. Not justified.

But never mind. And the ones you mentioned have a problem with who exactly?

TBF beheadings happen in the same 3rd world places, attacks and other violence happens in modern societies across many religions.....Christianity in the US has a huge level of killings and extremism, just as one example.

Basically all religions have extremism and that's a problem

Putting everyone in the same pool as their ethnicity and religion is also a problem

People deserve the opportunity to live peacefully if thats their thing, the increase in generalization in terms of "more likely to be" means some very good people who just wanna be left alone are having their lives turned upside down.

I think even we can both say that's wrong

I think we can both agree with that. No one should be able to make exceptions due to their religious beliefs and push them on society. Especially when it comes to freedom of speech, equality and democracy.
