They were COMPLETELY FOOLED on every level by those all around them.

360 degrees of misinformation.

And they WEREN'T BAD PEOPLE threatening to kill a man and his son.

I mean c'mon.

Theres a certain level of denial though to those bikers,

theres no way they'd not have heard anything bad about ISIS

I guess but, ignorance really doesn't excuse anyone?

I follow a different path though so I'm not sure why a lot of people do the things they do

Who said they weren't bad people?

people get into debt, they go day hiking without enough food and water

They probably assumed all the stories about ISIS was from islamiphobia

they bike through islamic countries without complying with societal norms

Because they were taught it was a religion of peace

and they raise bats against people armed to the teth

Theres no way they "couldn't have known" it was just wilfull ignorance that got them killed

and they believe islam is the religion of peace.

lol

I agree

```I guess but, ignorance really doesn't excuse anyone?``` THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

DOES THAT COUNT FOR NOTHING?

I'm sure even when they arrived in arabia there people told them "Dude be careful cuz theres bad people out there"

And they didn't listen either

they did do something bad though

D: <

as far as the culture there is concerned

In what culture is "I will kill you and your son with a projectile weapon" good manners.

New Zealand, I think?

Maybe Portugal.

Yeah, I feel bad for those bikers too. Like obviously they were idiots for taking such a big risk, but it still sucks

In other words: Who gives a shit about culture.

being nonmuslim in a muslim country

#1 crime

haha

So you're... looking at it through a lens of corruption?

I believe being an apostate is worse

In Twitter culture thats good manners

to threaten people

*We're* not corrupt assholes.

Westerners tend to use a lens of western culture when looking at other places

Why are we giving that perspective this kinda oxygen?

leaving islam is a greater crime than not currently being muslim

yeah
