wonder if the orlando shooting in 2016 was counted as extremist
Didn’t the ADL count the Pulse nightclub shooting as right wing?
also this http://prntscr.com/kg9258
I'd consider radical Islam as far right
i wouldent
theology is a bit different than politics
But isn't Islam also a set of political beliefs?
it can be but thats not saying they arnt inseporable. im also not sure what about sharia constitutes it being consitered conservitive other than the very typical stereotype of consitering anything old as conservitive
^
thats why Christians were often considered "conservative" by default.
its more authoritarian than anything else. and while it does act to keep the society """""orderly""""" technicly even left wing ideologys think theyre ideology does that
The left and right is constantly changing though depending on how you look at the left right idea
Originally left and right was based on the two majorities of a parliament
So left and right could be seen as the two major sides in politics in the western world, if going off of the original use
Thanks for the clarification
Islam is definitely right wing, but they packaged Muslim terrorism in with white Christians and pretended it was proof that white Christians were a big problem. Ignoring the disproportionate amount of terrorism coming from those communities when their percentage of population is taken into consideration.
White Christians are a majority of the population, so you’d expect to see a lot from them just based on that, however there are years when Muslims beat them, or come close. Which is crazy af considered how small the Muslim population is.
Is Judaism right-wing?
I would say no at least certainly her is the U.S.
Though you could argue that America both parties are on the right in the global scheme of things
Interesting
White evangelical and Mormon only really the two religious demographics that are heavily Republican
Looks like orthodox Jewish as well, but the presence is not as significant
all of america is "right wing" compared to the rest of the west, yes.
although it will be interesting to watch how that changes in europe in the coming years. seems like they are swinging more and more right.
Gavin Mcinnes on
eew mormons
why do these idiots have to legitimize this clown? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
same reason for Trumps news coverage
Its a bunch of thin-skinned beta feminists, who feel attacked, so they'll take revenge by showign the world what a terrible "poopypants" evil Jones is
and they don't get why people react the opposite
so naturally they must be nazi's too
btw with the above conversation from earlier about islam, and various religions being left or right, exactly what parameters are you using to judge these religions as representing one politics vs another?
aka what makes islam right wing?
