The comments in this thread are practically Islamophobic and naive.
When you travel to another country, just abide by its culture and customs.
Like you cant go to India and disrespect cows, or now eat beef in public.
The comments are also naive because they show how unaware the commenters are about what actually goes on in rich countries and events for affluent people.
Uh yeah fuck Islam. Fuck the Judaism and Christianity too. See? Easy.
They're certainly old enough
Okay so how do I fuck these religions exactly? I can go to these theocratic states and start doing whatever I want? Symbolising my freedom?
Why don't you try it? Let's see how far you can go to freeing humanity from the shackles of religion.
With a rocket. And I don't give a fuck where you're at.
if we're shitposting after all, fuck you all. checkmate.

Seems like that's exactly what The Satanic Temple is doing.
WDYM? The prophet "married" a ~~13~~ 9 year old.
Edit: It's even worse.
Islamophobic? Nah. Naive, hell yeah. You should watch what you do like a hawk when you're going to places like Dubai. Have a good understanding of what is legal and what isn't, like eating outside during Ramadan - this can get you actual jailtime instead of a fine or a slap on the wrist like you'd expect.
Dubai is a shithole full of rich assholes and their slave workers and influencers who are paid to paint it in pink online.
i like the part where they have a constant line of tanker trucks moving shit from buildings to wherever they dump it, because they couldn't be bothered building a sewage system.
POOP TRUCK POOP TRUCK
Wait really? Do they really have no sewer lines/mains? LOL...
nope lol
That's fucked.
You thinking that acknowledging theocracy as awful is bigotry?
If I live in an islamic nation and am islamophobic does that make me racist to myself?
Akshually it's islamophobia to say that a lot of the laws in Dubai are bad!
When you go through puberty, every single cell in your body is telling you to have sex NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW due to well over a billion years of evolution.
This culture is punishing a teenager for not fighting evolution.
Of course, they probably don't believe in evolution either, but that doesn't change the fact that they're punishing a teenager for lacking self-control (like most teenagers) and doing what his body is telling him to do in order to fulfil his biological imperative.
