Non-Muslim Looking for Guidance

Edit: Sorry for the messy formatting

Warning: Islamophobic Language

Hello Friends,

Below is a transcript of an encounter I had on Instagram earlier this evening. The names have been changed for privacy reasons but the comments are unchanged.

Backstory: I live in Canada and go to Highschool. I have an acquaintance who hates Islam and is a Donlad Trump supporter. We talk politics at lunch sometimes and he disgusts me. Anyways, he tags me in stuff on Instagram to do with his political agenda and I usually just laugh it off and ignore. On this occasion it was different though. He tagged me on a post posted by a devoted anti-Islam page about a rape in Sweden and said something about them having sources (I always ask for sources to his ridiculous claims). The original poster replied and then my friend went on to speak about my stance on refugees. This set off both the poster and his girlfriend. As they are both very active Islam haters, they both had copy/paste rapid fire facts and arguments. I had no facts and no arguments. Just my morals. I tried my best to defend myself but of course I ended up looking uneducated and ignorant. I didn't know what else to do. The purpose of my post here is to start a conversation about this type of online hatred and how I can prepare myself for if this were to happen again. I understand that it probably isn't worth my time arguing with people like this online but I wanted to see what this community would think of the situation. Thank you very much for reading and I'm sorry if any of what I said below is offensive. It wasn't meant to be like that. :)

  • RandomCommenter1 Some people just need to be shot in the face
  • RandomCommenter2 @RandomCommenter1 we all know the REAL reason the Germans are accepting so many Immigrants...
  • GirlfriendOfOP #religionofpeacemyass
  • GirlfriendOfOP @RandomCommenter1 they're not people. They're savages.
  • GirlfriendOfOP @RandomCommenter2 why is that?
  • OriginalPoster @RandomCommenter2 @RandomCommenter1 WW2 GUILT.
  • IgnorantAcquaintance@MyAccount source in caption
  • OriginalPoster @IgnorantAcquaintance@MyAccount Google Sweden and rape capital. Shocking. Ask @RandomInstagram
  • IgnorantAcquaintance@OriginalPoster oh believe me I know. @MyAccount thinks Canada (where we live) needs to bring in more refugees and denies that they do anything wrong.
  • RandomCommenter1 @GirlfriendOfOP I agree and since Sweden is pathetically soft on violent crime, they'll get off with two years in a juvenile detention center and 10 "I'm sorrys" on the chalk board
  • OriginalPoster @IgnorantAcquaintance It's math. Numners don't lie. Add it with current events. Some people learn the hard way. Sad.
  • MyAccount @IgnorantAcquaintance thanks for giving my Instagram out to randoms.
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount Not into what will happen to Canada if you take Islamic refugees?
  • OriginalPoster @IgnorantAcquaintance That's a typical liberal response. Sad.
  • GirlfriendOfOP @IgnorantAcquaintance well he needs to be educated about Islam and sharia law. Show him this one of hundreds verses...................FROM THE QUR'AN 005.033 YUSUFALI: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount Above.
  • MyAccount @OriginalPoster I don't mind him tagging me in this type of stuff but when he specifically try's to speak for me to people like you I have an issue. No offence to you, I respect your right to an opinion I just don't need to be involved in it.
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount Right bc ignorance is bliss
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount He's trying to make you aware of what will happen to Canada. Do you forget the shootings from a couple years ago and recent Islamic jihad attacks on your soil? And you want more Muslims to come to your country?
  • MyAccount @OriginalPoster I could say the same to you about ignorance. I didn't ask for your whole spiel. I really don't care actually. It's him talking for me. You guys can keep hate mongering amongst yourselves all you want and I won't get involved.
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount How am ignorant? 1.8 bill Muslims in the world. 1%-25% are jihadists. If ½% that's 9 million jihadists. If 1% that's 18 million jihadists. Enjoy the 5 kinds of jihad they'll wage upon you too; jihad-an-nafs, jihad-ash-shaitaan, jihad-al-kuffar, jihad-al-munafiqeen & jihad-al-faasiqeen.
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount How am I hatemongering when I oppose Islamic jihadists who want us dead? How am I hatemongering when Islam's internal and external jihad has killed Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews and Christians for 1400+ years and counting? How is it over 1 billion moderate Muslims can't destroy a couple million? Answer, Islam is the issue. History, facts and current events say so, not me.
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount Everywhere Islam goes so does jihad: China, Philippines, Thailand, Russia, Netherlands, Sweden, France, Spain, England, Africa, Belgium, Germany, Norway, America, Austria, Canada, Australia...... See a pattern?
  • IgnorantAcquaintance@MyAccount well you keep saying you want sources.@OriginalPoster @GirlfriendOfOP are both citing reliable sources. And when you tag someone in something its public, someone just saw it.
  • MyAccount @OriginalPoster you're totally right. 100% let's go and invade all the Muslim countries, round them up and gas them. Muslims aren't only the perpetrators here, the vast majority are victims. Let's remember that. 1400+ years??? Please look up the history of Christianity.
  • MyAccount @IgnorantAcquaintance please just tag my name in it next time and don't try to speak for me
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount No current events. Only Islam acts like everyone else did 1400+ years ago. Read the above and let it soak into your liberal brain. Sarcasm is the tool of the fool and the wit of the idiot. FYI....
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount He never spoke for you.
  • MyAccount Look above@OriginalPoster he did speak for me he specifically said I think Canada needs to bring in more refugees. It's soaking in.
  • IgnorantAcquaintance@MyAccount no I said that because you literally said "we need to bring in more refugees"
  • GirlfriendOfOP @MyAccount Why so defensive? Who said invade? And how would it be inviting when it's to protect ourselves from Islamic terrorism? I'm saying to keep them out of our country and renew our strained relations with Israel, our only ally and only democracy in the Middle East. What you need to understand is islam is not just a religion. It is an all encompassing political ideology to establish a world caliphate and destroy all non-believers. That includes you.
  • GirlfriendOfOP @MyAccount @OriginalPoster is far from ignorant about Islam and it's not hate mongering when they're really trying to kill you. Stay uniformed. You're both suicidal and delusional to not understand Islam is NOT a religion of peace, nor does Islam mean peace. Islam means submission. Most people are simply unaware that Islam is NOT just another religion but a totalitarian political cult-like ideology, which compels its followers into blind obedience, teaches intolerance, brutality and locks all Muslims and non-Muslims in a struggle deriving directly from the 7th century nomadic, predatory culture. Islam means “submission” to the will of Allah and the teachings as depicted in the Qur’an which include jihad – the genocidal slaughter of infidels by the sword, killing by beheading, intolerance of other religions, as well as forcing submission to Islam. The ultimate goal of jihad is the domination of Islam over the entire world. In Islam, one is considered “moderate” if one supports the goals of jihad, if not the tactics. Those who totally reject the violent teachings of Islam are considered apostates of Islam and as such, are condemned to death.
  • GirlfriendOfOP @MyAccount The prophet Muhammad himself was a murderer and a rapist. So were his followers. It is immoral to glorify him and his actions. Statistically, most Muslims in the world support some sort of extremist belief, like stoning women for minor “offences”, murdering infidels or forcing Sharia law. The Quran advocates subjects such as deception, paedophilia and violence. The Bible, both the New and Old Testament, in comparison, only requires Jews and Christians to adhere to the moderate teachings of Judaism and Christianity in the 21st Century. Islam is not a race, it is a belief. It is not “racist” to judge those who willingly identify themselves with this belief. It can be compared to radical Satanism. An increased immigration of people of Islamic faith can be tied to increased statistics of murder, robbery and rape in various nations. No other current religion has caused as much death and destruction in the 21st century. It’s not “Islamophobia”, it’s a natural sense of self-preservation!
  • MyAccount @GirlfriendOfOP Bring it on. I already don't eat pork so it won't be hard. You can't eradicate hate with hate. Many have tried over the centuries. It's never worked. The Koran just as the bible is open to interpretation. Christians have modernized and so can Islam. Only with tolerance can that happen though. I don't care to debate hate filled people online and I don't want to see your propaganda anymore. I do not care. We have different opinions. You see mine as destructive just like I see yours as the same. Congratulations. I'm not changing yours, you're not changing mine. It's not worth my time to type anymore.
  • GirlfriendOfOP @MyAccount wow, you are so completely off your rocker, it's frightening. No, the Quran is NOT open to interpretation. There is no flexibility in Islam. I'm not hate filled. I'm realistic and informed. You should try it sometime.
  • GirlfriendOfOP @MyAccount may I ask if you're Jewish since you said you don't eat pork?
  • MyAccount @GirlfriendOfOP again I could say the same. It's called opinions. You should learn about it sometime. I'm not Jewish I'm a vegetarian. Also your friend. @OriginalPoster said that sarcasm was a tool used by fools. Is he calling you a fool?
  • GirlfriendOfOP @MyAccount lol, no it's not my opinion. Ask any Muslim or imam and they will tell you the Quran is perfect and not open to interpretation. That's a FACT. By the way, my friend@OriginalPoster is my boyfriend and I do believe he was addressing your sarcasm therefore calling you a fool.
  • MyAccount @GirlfriendOfOP he was speaking in general, which makes you a fool as well. I wasn't speaking directly to the interpretation issue as your opinion. You're taking what you can to counter what I'm saying. I was speaking in general.
  • MyAccount @GirlfriendOfOP I already said I'm done with this. I don't need to argue with people online about this I don't have instagrams devoted to hatred. Goodbye and thanks for the information.
  • OriginalPoster @GirlfriendOfOP You can't cure stupid.
  • OriginalPoster @MyAccount Pontificating, bloviating and devils advocate, combined with sarcasm will get you nowhere in life. You'll learn the hard way. Sad.
  • OriginalPoster @GirlfriendOfOP It's worse than dealing with my neighbor.
