"It’s literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda. The West will learn this lesson the hard way."
Muslim here (I know, imagine religion on Lemmy) and setting aside the rabid Islamophobia, can I just comment on how fucking weird this particular stereotype is? Like, most prejudiced stereotypes trace their origins to reality at some point, even if they're later twisted into misleading half-truths or complete fiction, but Western Islamophobes just made up this supposed mainstream Islamic belief out of whole cloth and bring it up as a gotcha. It'd be like if I said Jews are promiscuous and like to seduce married non-Jewish women (please tell me this isn't already a thing). It's just... bro what the fuck are you talking about?

Oh. Goddannit Germany.
Lies all the time?
He should be president!

He's a VC at Sequoia Capital. Apparently not a particularly important one, since he's not listed among the "key people" on the firm's Wikipedia page.
Still, I'd be inclined to say "boycott companies with Sequoia investment", apart from the fact that at least some of them have called on Sequoia to distance itself from Maguire.
