Nothing like moving to a new country because the religious ideals forced on you by your old country made your old country an undesirable place to live, so you move to a new country with religious freedom and try to force that same religious ideals from your old country onto the people already living in your new country.

Please keep your cults and religions to yourselves folks.

It's how we got the Pilgrims, Quakers, Amish and many others in America. Mormons we're chased across North America untill the settled in Utah

Mormons literally murdered people all across the country before settling in Utah, and they were following an absolute conman who was swindling people and stealing women to claim as his wives. Don't whitewash their racist murderous history.

Also I was hoping somebody caught the analogy I was working towards, just because there's historical precedent doesn't mean it's right, especially when the country they are trying to change has freedom of religion but that's not good enough for them because they want freedom of oppression over those not of their "in-group".

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion, don't move somewhere new and start trying to oppress people, if you want to do that return to where you came from pls.

I'm ex-mormon, once removed. My mom left them and raised me in SDA. Since leaving the house I've left all the cultish magical thinking behind, just a plain atheist now. I was going to mention how they got to Utah, but didn't want to write that much. Grouping them with others was maybe a bad choice. They all suck, just not as blatantly as Joseph Smith's brand of religion.

Ah, funny how the tables have turned.

A few years back, especially after the war in Iraq, people on the left were defending Muslims and telling people to not judge them and accept their culture.

I guess no one told them that they should do the same.

Now in more recent years as some of these Muslims have fled their repressive conservative governments, they've gone to the US and Canada and Germany and the UK as well as other fairly progressive countries. Instead of immigrating to those countries and assimilating to their cultures, many of these people have tried to push their views onto the people there. There have been stories of right wing Muslims having the gall to tell folks in the UK that they should cover up on the beach and elsewhere. There have been attacks in Germany and elsewhere in Europe by Muslims who have tried to impose their backwards ideas onto native Europeans. Now this.

Is there a counter protest that's going on that I can attend?

One that's filled with love and acceptance and not bigotry.

Sounds like a great time for right wing people hating on Muslim immigrants...
