Chechnya
-
Lord. What is it with all the hateful, misinformed people on this damn site?
By no means has Chechnya been ignored; it's probably more accurate to say that Chechnya has been hyper-analyzed at the expense of abuses happening at the same time in Iran, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Brazil. It's unclear to me how you could even come to the conclusion that it's been ignored unless you've either completely forgone the internet for the past two months or you've limited your engagement to alt-right, Nazi forums.
Chechnya also isn't as simple as blaming Muslims. We need also remember that homonationalist tendencies to place LGBTI (really, just gay) rights as a crux of moral supremacy vis-à-vis international relations has significant drawbacks.
In the circles I work in, which you might deride as "SJWs" when in fact we're human rights professionals trained and educated in human rights methodologies, we've been relating the backlash in Chechnya to two things: First, the fact that the detentions were sparked by a Russian group pressing for a pride parade in Chechnya, which obviously was a faulty tactic. This was something Chechen activists noted from the start. Second, the "vodka boycott" surrounding Russia and the winter Olympics a few years back cemented gay rights as a particular point of symbolic contention between Russia and the "West", resulting in the hyper-visibility of SGM populations, and thus their increased targeting for violence.
Please try to learn something about the world before spouting off your uninformed bigotry on an anonymous comment thread. I've said this in other forums, but it's such a ridiculous shame that gay men themselves have become a burden and a barrier in social justice work. Your anti-Muslim bigotry isn't helping anyone, especially the LGBT Muslims whom I work with and whom are pushing everyday to change the narrative of Muslim backwardness when there are billions of Muslims who are just as modern as you are.
Brazil is a very violent country. And violence affects everyone.
Most homosexuals and transsexuals are victims of common crime, not hate crime.
You can not compare this to the state and legal persecution that exists in Muslim countries. -
How can't I? Nearly half of the countries where homosexuality is criminalized retain Section 377, a "buggery" law directly imposed during British colonization. The majority of the countries in the world where homosexuality is illegal are predominantly Christian. Not to mention the fact that LGBTI people are dying every day, even in the US, both by means of extrajudicial and state-sponsored violence.

I do love how SJWs use mental gymnastics to justify their love of muslims.
Which non muslim countries have the death penalty for being gay?!

…The majority of the countries in the world where homosexuality is illegal are predominantly Christian.
Hmm I'm pretty sure you're wrong. The majority of the countries in the world where homosexuality is illegal are predominantly MUSLIM. Please do some research before sharing an opinion. Also it's pretty funny how all of you liberals can dismiss people's accounts and personal experiences just because "it sounds islamophobic" even though it came from a muslim or an ex muslim. Like the user koliko6 literally said he's from kavkaz (the caucasus) a predominantly muslim region and that gays and minorites weren't treated well there and that he feels much safer among Chrsitians and all you did was downvote it DESPITE IT BEING A LEGITIMATE ACCOUNT OF HOW STUFF ARE IN THE REGION just so you can feel good about yourselves. Many liberals seem to forget an important thing, that the "poor unfortunate opressed" muslim immigrants and refugees in the west are actually the "OPPRESSORS" back home. If you really really want to help, don't dismiss such accounts and actually listen and see how you can actively help oppressed people there instead of doing what seems more tolerant and civil to YOU. That's why child brides are still a thing in Yemen, and why female genital mutilation is still a thing in Somalia, and why honor killings are still a thing in Pakistan, and why stoning is still a capital punishment in Iran despite it being so inhumane and so on…

If Christians don't kill, please explain that to the corpses of gay/black/mexican/muslim people that were killed by 'white-power" Christians in rural-areas of this country. I'm sure their bones will feel QUITE enlightened.
Let me tell you, I think god every day that I live by Christians now. The worst thing a Christian will do, they will say you going to hell. The worst thing muslim will do? Cant even compare this two things.

How many of those are officially state mandated?

Um….the atrocities of the anti-gay purge in Chechnya is a topic we've discussed here in the forum since April 15 at least.
Definitely does NOT get a pass just because it's a Muslim country.Great! So why do you think it's a good idea to import more of these people, a large number of which would like to see all of us on these boards hanging from a tree or decapitated?

Incredibly dishonest post. Incredible. By percentage adjusted for populations, minorities kill far, FAR more white people than white people kill minorities.
Here is raw data sourced from the FBI: http://www.aim.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Offenders-Victims-Simpson-Black-Criminals-White-Victims-and-White-Guilt-1024x600.jpg
Now take into account relative population sizes in the U.S. for blacks and for whites, and calculate how much more likely a black person is to kill a white than a white person is to kill a black person.
I DARE you to do this easy mathematical calculation. Go on.

Totally fake news and just complete lies. The majority of Muslims have extremely poor beliefs with regards to LGBT. This is backed up by massive amounts of polling data, which proves far more than your pointless anecdotes. It's you who needs to learn something about the world before spouting off. You are lying or just completely ignorant.

SJWs love any outlaw they consider a "victim of society".
If criminal hates "oppressive" western capitalism, SJWs will still help them with financial and ideological support.

More stupid brainwashing that you fall for.
First of all, YOU are a SJW.
Here you are, constantly doing battle based on your political beliefs.
That makes you a SJW.Second, Liberals do NOT love Muslims.
We love Freedom of Religion, and only treat individuals as criminals when those individuals commit crimes, and we do not blame refugees for the crimes of the tyrannical governments they are trying to escape from.
Conservatives hate everyone different from them and want Christianity to be held on a pedestal above all other religions.

You are so full of shit.
Liberals love muslims with their very soul (not that modern liberals have souls, if such things exist).
You also love illegals. You hate borders, unless it's someone else's borders. US borders are evil, but Mexico's borders are sacrosanct.
It was liberals in the UK that willfully ignored (and threatened victims and their families) about the Pakistani male rape gang that raped over 1,400 young white girls over the course of a decade.
Tommy Robinson (UK) was charged with "inciting hatred" because he has a "FUCK ISIS" SIGN.
Liberals are in fact racist, by using the "soft racism" of saying that muslims are to primitive to know better than how to act in the west. That's not the exact phrase you use, but it's clearly what you are saying. Just look at the case of the mulsim refugee who raped the 10yo boy because he had "a sexual emergency". The supreme court (Sweden i think) throw out his conviction because they said he didn't understand the 10yo boy wasn't agreeing to the sex.

That makes you a SJW.That's not the defining characteristic of a SJW. Go look up the definition.
