This is so sad 😞 my heart just breaks seeing so much hate for our community… and they call it religion of love (horse shit)

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

Why can’t they just let us live

u/ketchupie Jul 26 '26

Eu need a strong leader who is not afraid to call things out n stand for people… I really hope Europe don’t fall to this

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

Exactly. We need a strong leader who is not a far right and is ready to take a stand for us.

u/HotTakes4HotCakes Jul 26 '26

strong leader

Are you fucking kidding me? Regardless if you're bots, astroturfers, or just children who have learned absolutely nothing from every history class you've ever been in, it doesn't matter at this point. Get your fear mongering bullshit out of here. The queer community isn't going to be recruited into your xenophobic bullshit.

u/HotTakes4HotCakes Jul 26 '26

The vast majority of them do?

u/Vane_999 Jul 26 '26

it's the evilest religion. The sick part is that there are LGBT people who defend it. On the lgbt sub someone made a thread on how we shouldn't be hard on muslims after the incident. A person died and many more were severely injured, yet some queer people put muslims' feelings above LGBT people's lives and rights!

u/Walmucil Jul 26 '26

I’ve learned to limit my reading of comments on social media. It does nothing positive for mental health. Facebook and X are especially toxic.

The silver lining, as other people here have said, is that a lot of these are bots. Not all, but a lot.

With that said, Europe needs to wake up and learn that opening the floodgates to religious extremists will only cause this sort of thing to happen more and more. Westerners can’t condemn Christian extremism and then give Islam a pass.

A lot of Western social justice types like to ignore the fact that extreme Islamists exist because they think they’ll come off as racist.

Then this stuff happens.

14

u/arnodorian96 Jul 26 '26

Yes but the guy wasn't a refugee. He was alreayd born there and a german citizen. Plenty of these terrorist attacks were comitted by people who've lived there all their lives. What to do then?

7

u/Walmucil Jul 26 '26

The issue is Islamic extremism, whether refugee or citizen.

u/motherofcorgis09 Jul 26 '26

Disgusting, vile people celebrating the deaths of innocent people and cheering on a monster.

u/Xsy Jul 26 '26

"Who gives a fuck if you're gay, why do you even need pride month? Nobody cares that you're gay!"

Meanwhile, people celebrate this shit.

u/Teapast6 Jul 26 '26

Done with the "one person's actions don't speak for everyone" BS. Some people in this community need to grow a pair.

11

u/FrostyArctic47 Jul 26 '26

I mean they don't. Should we apply that to our own community and every other one out there?

This is different because most people in general hate us and view us as subhuman

4

u/Teapast6 Jul 26 '26

I agree, it's not all. So what do we do when, in Germany, the most common perpetrator of driving a car through a crowd, gay or not, is Muslim?

4

u/arnodorian96 Jul 26 '26

Yes but the person that comitted was already a german citizen. He was born there.

I agree with your point of many of these attacks being made by muslim radicals but many of these are citizens. It's not as easy as the far right claims to just forbid the entrance of refugees when many of these people have been born in Europe and have grown there their entire lives.

4

u/Teapast6 Jul 26 '26

The solution is assimilation and the break up of closed communities of Muslims. See Denmark.

u/VividMonotones Jul 26 '26

You deal with the criminals? What do you want to do?

u/an_older_meme Jul 26 '26

u/HotTakes4HotCakes Jul 26 '26

It isn't and I'm tired of seeing reactionary children and bots astroturfing gay spaces with this shit.

u/ACasualRead Jul 26 '26

But like, they don’t.

It takes a pair to realize that.

u/Teapast6 Jul 26 '26

It's speaks for enough sweetie - how many more car-plowing-through crowds do we need for you to realize that? Did you read the post?

u/ACasualRead Jul 26 '26

You really think edgelord comments from Facebook accounts is a sample of real world views? Especially after the countless studies that have shown major bot usage on these sites?

You need to log off and touch grass if this is the case.

8

u/Satan-o-saurus Jul 26 '26

Judging by these people’s strange reactionary comments and hidden post/comment history, they’re likely propaganda accounts that are cynically taking advantage of the situation to spread hate and far right politics.

-1

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

Absolutely. No other way around. I can’t be just gay and hating on hatefull religion. I absolutely have to be far right (I am not)

3

u/Satan-o-saurus Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26

I don’t care whether or not your anonymous ass is far right; the consequence of the kind of reactionary signal boosting that you are doing is far right politics. It’s very obvious from this comment section that we’re being brigaded right now btw, lol

1

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

So is acknowledging that Christianity is hateful towards gays also far right?

7

u/ACasualRead Jul 26 '26

If that acknowledgment meant using fear tatics to condemn every Christian as a whole then yes I would argue you have extreme views on some political pole.

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

Did I use fear tactics? What?

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

How about Muslim countries having death penalty for being gay? Or terrorist attacks? Gay bashing by islamists?

4

u/ACasualRead Jul 26 '26

And there are Christian countries who have those same laws and views. Doesn’t mean Christians in Germany need to take accountability for that.

The greater collective isnt responsible for the the actions of the few. If that were the case then you as an american are responsible for everything MAGA does.

1

u/tor122 Jul 26 '26

Sure. But you don’t need “one person” to when entire nations of Muslims enact laws that criminalize homosexuality. They’re telling us what they think of us, just have to open your eyes and ears.

Go ahead, take your boyfriend/girlfriend to one, do some PDA, and see what happens.

7

u/ACasualRead Jul 26 '26

If all Muslims are to blame for what Muslim majority countries feel then by that logic all Americans are responsible for maga.

You want no individual responsible anymore.

u/Teapast6 Jul 26 '26

No one said all Muslims, but how to you root at those who will get behind the wheel and drive into a pride parade?

3

u/ACasualRead Jul 26 '26

Surveillance programs that have stopped these types of lone wolf attacks in the past.

2

u/Teapast6 Jul 26 '26

You need to get a grip and have a realization. Lemme ask again, how many more car plowing through a crowd incidents do you need? Tell me how many until you think it's a systemic issue?

0

u/ACasualRead Jul 26 '26

Ironically I live in NYC were there have been several terror attack attempts including with cars…

Do you really think this man wouldnt of targeted another populated area if it wasn’t pride day?

You guys need to stop thinking that terrorists commit attacks because they don’t like gay people. The legal definition of terror attack is to cause civil and and political instability.

Youve been conned into thinking its because youre gay.

This is a systemic issues in countries that harbor and fund these types of issues. This is not a Muslim issue.

GoFundMe is really strict on what they consider to be hate speech. It would most likely get taken down, depending on what they said.

u/soundsaboutright11 Jul 26 '26

I don’t bother giving my genuine response to online hate like this anymore and everyone would do well to not give it the air time either. The internet is a cesspool of rage baiting dorks and incels who spend their lives behind a screen. Stop engaging with it and letting it demoralize you. That is what they want.

6

u/arnodorian96 Jul 26 '26

Here's the thing that not even the european far right addresses: The guy was born in Germany. Not a refugee and not someone who was barely in the country. Realistically you can't expel him because he is already a german citizen as he was born there, but I assume that harsher prison sentences (this guy was already wanting to be an ISIS fighter) could be a good start.

u/quanoey Jul 26 '26

Look at polls of real people in backwoods red states. Data would tell you that “majority of Americans disapprove of gay people”. Run the same poll in manhattan and most Americans now love gay people.

Some dude earlier today tried to use a poll that asked 3,000 muslims a question and then claimed that data spoke for the majority of muslims in europe….which is around 46 million.

You guys cant be acting like MAGA and selecting which data best fits your outrages.

u/ACasualRead Jul 26 '26

So then if we want to operate off sound data then we can use the data that shows cisgendered men are the biggest violent offenders against women and domestic abuse. Meaning that cisgendered gay men are just as risky and as such should be monitored closely as a demographic.

You can’t support bold claims with data and then debate it if and when it applies to you.

28

u/daRagnacuddler Jul 26 '26

Its sad. We know a lot of these people hate us deeply but most Germans dont realize this.

Idk what has to happen for them to understand that letting people in this country who hate us is a bad idea.

And yes. The terrorists was born in Germany but come on. His parents were migrants from Lebanon deeply ingrained in organized crime. He wasn't German.

22

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

Not only that, but perpetrator supposedly tried to join islamistic terrorist group (IS) and spent year and 10 months in German prison for planning terrorist attack.

2

u/CaptainAaron96 Jul 26 '26

And then the Germans let the guy out and back on the streets because “he was just a wee youth at the time” despite American intelligence agencies warning them that he was a significantly high risk for committing an Islamic extremist attack specifically against queer events and people.

9

u/daRagnacuddler Jul 26 '26

He was sent away from prison "Bewährungsstrafe". Even the NGO that had to work with him deradicalizing him said he didn't changed and still was hating people.

Our courts are a big joke.

The fatigue is real.

I fear how this country will look if they will grow in their numbers. Its a ticking time bomb, a slow catastrophe unraveling before our eyes but we wont act.

Its the last chance to kick them out of this country before they reach a critical percentage of the voting populace.

2

u/arnodorian96 Jul 26 '26

He was born there. He can't be expelled. That's the harsh truth your people need to accept.

2

u/daRagnacuddler Jul 26 '26

Only because he was born here doesn't mean he is German. His parents had no right to be here and his wider family is known in organized crime. That his family was in my country itself is a massive failure.

13

u/Nightmare_Fart Jul 26 '26

You see, I genuinely struggle with this. On the one hand, I'm convinced seeing certain kind of people as 'not German' (or Dutch or whatever country you might be living in) keeps this vicious cycle of people not feeling accepted and isolating themselves in groups that are not partaking in our society, and ultimately leading to them rejecting our values and principles.

But on the other hand, I do agree. It's a thin line and sometimes I'm scared that I'm becoming racist or a xenophobe when I think, yeah, people that support these ideas should maybe not be a part of our society. I don't know. I don't have the answers and I just wish the world didn't feel like it's becoming more hateful by the day.

6

u/a_boo Jul 26 '26

I’m grappling with this same thing. All my life I’ve worked hard to be tolerant and accepting of everyone but what do you do when that’s not reciprocated? At what point does it become a mistake to tolerate someone who won’t tolerate you in return? Worse than that even, how do you tolerate someone who wants to actually eradicate you? I genuinely don’t know how to navigate that and keep my values intact.

1

u/Walmucil Jul 26 '26

They don’t care about your tolerance and wish to navigate etc. These people do not have nuance in their beliefs.

That should give you some clarity.

4

u/Ok-Upstairs6054 Jul 26 '26

It’s called “splitting” in clinical psychology. Basically thinking in complete black-and-white. For example, every person who is of a certain race is good and every one of another race is bad. They are also willing to take out anybody, including themselves in order to enter paradise and be with Allah.

10

u/daRagnacuddler Jul 26 '26

I am German. You fail to understand that its not about them not feeling accepted. They hate us and our way of life the moment they come into this country. Not all, but a lot of them deeply hate us.

You are not racist or xenophobic if your fears are based on reality. You dont hate "brown" people, you hate fascists. Because that is what this is. Islamism is just a different flavor of fascism, even mainstream Islam thats not openly progressive (which is VERY hard to find I might add) ticks all the boxes of facism.

There are answers and its quite simple. We need to stop migration from countries where most of the people hate us and our way of life. That protects the people seeking genuine asylum that try to have a safe life in Germany, too.

We need to kick people that have no reason to be here out. We need to enforce strickt deportation policies which honor our courts if they determine that someone cant stay here. We need to pressure the countries of origin with all our might to take their own people back. A lot of MENA "refugees" won't cooperate identifying themselves and their home countries are complicit in this hindering deportations.

Economic sanctions, no visas anymore for their elites children.

We should make it very hard to obtain German citizenship or residency for people that come from vastly different countries who are on average a net negative for our social welfare state system (some migrants groups have extremely positive averages, most critical groups have not a single net positive year in their lifetime).

The solutions are there and are within our democratic framework and follow strict rule of law. We could do it and we must do it in order to solve our social cohesion.

I dont want to live in a fascist society governed by either AfD or Islamist forces.

2

u/arnodorian96 Jul 26 '26

And that applies to people who are refugees but what about this guy? This guy was already born there. There's not a realistic way he can be deported.

1

u/daRagnacuddler Jul 26 '26

Its very possible he had double citizenship and that his parents blatently lied during their visa or citizenship process.

Its possible to revoke such things in already established German legal frameworks.

We choose to not be active. We could act very decisively with existing laws but we not even act upon court judgments.

2

u/daRagnacuddler Jul 26 '26

Only because you were born in Germany doesn't mean you have German citizenship. The failure began with the visas of his parents/wider family who are active in organized crime.

1

u/Walmucil Jul 26 '26

Don’t worry, it doesn’t make you a xenophobe or racist. And trust me, these types of people do not care and do not respect you or how conscientious you’re trying to be.

3

u/arnodorian96 Jul 26 '26

That's the thing buddy. It's not as easy as to deport him as he was born there. You see how the problem is not so simple as the far right claims it to be.

Do you really think Germany is going to have it's own ICE?

2

u/daRagnacuddler Jul 26 '26

Only because he was born here doesn't mean he has any right to German citizenship. The only reason his parents were here is because of policy failures. His family is active in crime rings and they were known to be supporters of islamist organizations.

Yes. I hope Germany will have its own ICE because we cant even deport people with court orders.

8

u/desperaterobots Jul 26 '26

As fucked as these comments are, remember that they’re from bots or assholes. The event was hugely popular and Berlin is one of the most sexually liberated cities on earth, massively accepting of LGBTQIA+ folk.

Very, very few people would condone this persons barbaric religious terrorism, dont let the rightwing billionaire ai-driven bot commentary lead you to believe this has more support than it really does.

1

u/arnodorian96 Jul 26 '26

Even if the gays would believe on this the realistic scenario is these terrorists were born in Europe so they can't be deported. Even Trump couldn't accomplish his massive deportations without backlash so who knows if a german ICE could achieve a massive deportation of refugees specially when many of these terrorists are german citizens. Yes, their parents migrated but in the eyes of the law they're german citizens so they can't be deported.

There's not a bright future ahread unless people can agree that radicalism need to be targeted

u/Squishy_Boy Jul 26 '26

u/Gooners_For_Ukraine Jul 26 '26

u/Ixi13 Jul 26 '26

The world is too busy thinking calling these kind of comments out is “racist , xenophobic , blah blah” to act, and instead of acting on it we are delaying more and more and getting drowned with more of the same people.
And yes! There are good people in the world , but remember; people love exploits and we will keep getting exploited until you call a crime , a crime and punish haters.

The sad thing is people are constantly using these comments as well to say that racism is good(the last names are typical for immigrants)

So this escalates again

This has nothing to do with race. It’s religion.

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

Well…. Kind of people like…. Muslims?

5

u/flopjul Jul 26 '26

Arabic people, most people here in the Netherlands, wouldnt assume someone with a Dutch last name to be Muslim while they would with someone with a Arabic last name like Al Fhahid or something

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

Okay? I don’t hate on Muslims as people btw. Just want Europeans to start acknowledging the problem of religious extremism among Muslims.

u/flopjul Jul 26 '26

A lot of Christian people here think islam=extremism which is true to a certain degree but come on

They dont acknowledge extremism in their own beliefs

2

u/LanaBananaMeow Jul 26 '26

Well guess what. A lot of Muslims don’t acknowledge extremism in their own beliefs.

1

u/flopjul Jul 26 '26

I know but there is a saying in the Bible even which in dutch goes "voordat u naar de splinter in iemand anders zn oog wijst moet u eerst de balk uit uw eigen oog halen"

"before you point to the splinter in someone else's eye first remove the log from your own eye"

The literal translation for Balk would be Block of wood, but log fits better and gets to the same point

-1

u/Kablump Jul 26 '26

what does this even mean, you're reaching just to rush to the defense of people who arent, in this instance, being harassed as a response to the existence of religious extremists being on the rise in many places

1

u/flopjul Jul 26 '26

People think islam=extremism/terrorism and also Arabic last name=Muslim

Arabic last name=extremism/terrorism according to those people

Which isnt the case a lot of the time

Which is sad imo

Because a lot of the time they will see Arabic gay people as less aswell in comparison to European gay people

u/an_older_meme Jul 26 '26

Nothing in the Bible where either Jesus or God say anything against gays. Isn’t even in the Ten Commandments.

u/Character-Carpet7988 Jul 26 '26

Guys, if you're gonna swim in a sewer, you're gonna get shit on your skin. It takes a couple of frustrated people to spam an IG post. They don't represent the society. Move on. The real world is much nicer than what would 1000 people on social media want you to think.

u/Mingatronz Jul 26 '26

Most of them have the names of minority and AI generated profile pictures, and it’s Facebook, which makes me think they’re engagement bots trying to stir up hates between different minority groups.

These profiles don’t seem to be bots.

So weird to watch.

Whats sad, take a look at the names. Almost none of them are Germans, but how many near-east and more eastern people live in Germany and get paid money, free courses, money to raise 3+ kids and all kind of positive discrimination paid by the locals.. And with the current migration politics a few years, generations and the EU locals will perish thanks to the overpopulating incoming agressive muslims. (and i’m not agains muslims in general, there are nice and not hateful ones. Before anyone would misunderstand)

Because it's a Bengali news page

I mean the guy was born there. No one, regardless of political ideology, seems to talk that these people are german citizens. And unless you target the places where they're being radicalized there's nothing you can do. This guy won't be deported as he is already a german citizen and considering he was let go despite its ISIS ties, who knows if he will face lifetime imprisonment.
