This is not what happened. It started cuz people were discussing if he has NSFW content cuz of his religion (as if there arent Muslim OF creators) and Islamaphobes couldn't hold themselves from being bigoted & generalizing, it's not because "there’s currently major ethno/religious strife in the Middle East, sending ripples of division" it's because of Islmaphobes & racists, no one else. Your conclusion is always "Middle East bad, Muslim bad." It was also the comment below said "thirsting over Homophobic/Transphobic Muslim man" AS IF homophobia is only bad when it's from a Muslim. The intent is very obvious.
Then I, a gay Muslim in the Middle East spoke, and you mansplained to me what MY experience is & saying that Muslim people are "a part of the problem," which is a disgusting & ignorant generalization. You 1) called the Middle East regressive as if countries like the USA, Poland, etc aren't 2) Blamed "Islamic extremism" which is NOT the reason 3) generalized billions of Muslims for laws when they don't live in democracies (meaning it doesn't represent them) WHILE Americans just DEMOCRATICALLY voted for Trump who wants to take trans, womens, POCs rights away and MUCH MORE. 4) ignorantly conflated ~2 billion Muslim PEOPLE with GOVERNMENTS (~50 countries).... There is more I can say, but no, the problem is not the "strife in the middle east" its western supremacist & Islamaphobic comments like yours
