Yeah I looked him up after the video, he certainly has some associations I'd like to know better.

Even though the "what about the poor people, they'll be the one's who suffer" schtick has always seemed to me to be a left wing view.

Agreed. While they do make a lot of good videos, they do have a biased view towards the right. Keep in mind, these are the people who say that Christians are the most oppressed group in the world nowadays.

Did they actually say that?

And double agree. I don't think they should be labeled as "unbiased" so much as "a right-wing point of view that isn't FOX News for once"; it's sensible and sound reasoning from their perspective, and it is a great addition to on-going discussion, but not the only one to be considered.

Here it is. And yeah, I guess that's a better phrase for it.

Christianity is technically a minority despite being the largest religion in the world, I guess.
But seriously, not to hate on Muslims because I know a lot of amazing Muslims and I trust the good outweigh the bad, but Christianity and Islam have a similar bloody history. The thing is, Muslim countries haven't developed, but they hate everyone equally. The ones who are radicalized will kill you if you're Atheist, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, Agnostic, or you praise the one true God, FSM.

The most persecuted group, internationally, is women, and always has been. Not saying "hurr durr muh rights" 3rd wave feminism, but actually just look at a history book or even at any 3rd world country. Somewhere between the hunter-gatherer days and our modern era, there was a global consensus to oppress women, and one of the top identifiers to future growth in a country is how the women are treated if you are abusing 50% of your resources, you're not gonna get very far . I'm Indo-Canadian and a lot of my traditions are sexist, but my own family is pretty progressive and my great-gpa was actually the first man in his village to educate his daughters, and it was a genius decision, but still a backwards country at the time, and sometimes even in modern days. Again, this isn't about the BS that Western Feminists bitch about because they're afraid to tackle real issues globally, this is about the consistent **** that women have gone through in Western history and Eastern present.

Nah, I agree with you. Feminism is needed, just in countries that are predominantly Muslim and not necessarily first world countries.

He does have some fair points, but no matter who it is, I can never 100% get behind people that say "This group I'm in is the most oppressed in the world/country", it just feels like they want pity instead of to solve the issue. This goes for Neo-feminists who claim women make 70% of what men do and for FJers who claim men are more oppressed than women(in 1st world countries).

Not just Muslim countries though, like, most of the East and, to some degree, some of the West.

I agree that his group is persecuted, I just don't like how sneaky it feels watching it. Like there's a point being made that most of the audience knows but the speaker won't actually say it to avoid the controversy. We all know there's an implied message about the "evils of Islam", but rather than be bold and make a statement, he dances around the issue to save face while instilling the feeling in us. It's cowardly and I don't like it at all. Kind of like when everyone called the Baltimore rioters "thugs" and the one dude being interviewed was like "just say ******* , we know what you mean". They're afraid of the backlash, which I understand, but if they don't address what they really mean we can't have a discussion about it and educate each other. What about fundamentalist Islam is so dangerous? fundamentalism in many religions has proven to be toxic, especially Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (historically speaking) Does it make the religion of Islam bad as a whole? the answer is simple: no What can we do to create peace in these damaged environments? education and societal development; the West didn't stop being Christian, but they still stopped doing "Witch Hunts" . Muslims oppressed the Sikhs in India for generations, and so did the Hindus, despite Sikhism being founded by a Hindu whose spiritual mentor was Muslim. Sikhs responded with self-defense and courage. Even after the 1984 massacre where the Hindu government murdered Sikhs in their place of worship, we mourned, and then stood up for ourselves and demanded change. Call Islamic fundamentalism toxic all you want, because it is, but it's not alone; Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, and even Buddhists have committed their own atrocities

That's what I mean. To me, subtle racism/sexism/whatever-ism is worse than flat out. I'm a white guy, so I've never had to experience it(maybe I did and I was oblivious, unlikely though), but it's underhanded, which is a bitch move.

And I don't think there's a single race, religion or whatever that hasn't committed some sort of atrocity in the name of someone who said "Don't commit atrocities".

While I personally think, from what I know of history, that a lot of the worst forms of racism and discrimination were perpetuated by white people and Christians not to demonize people based on skin colour or religion, but white-skinned groups did start a philosophy of white skin = good and black skin = evil, and Uganda wasn't as radical in it's anti-gay stance until western Christian missionaries visited , they also aimed it at each other, like the discrimination faced by Irish and Socttish folk. That being said, if you go to the middle east/south asia, brown people and yellow were murdering each other since they discovered each other Jesus was likely middle Eastern , and if you're white in some places you'll likely have troubles for the most part just be taken advantage of, like ripped off on deals. For actual hat, more likely the Middle Eastern countries that hate the western world because a lot of developing countries idolize the western world. Oh, and probably some citizens that might still hate their former colonizers .

To your second point, yeah people are ******* stupid. "Love thy neighbour. When it's convenient. I guess. Maybe. **** it."

You said it bro. All of history can basically be boiled down to that last phrase
