I was at my local copy shop and I was more than shocked when I hared?

Question

so I came to print some papers, and I saw this newspaper,,it is magazine that is printed by the regional Islamic community, and on the first look there was a article about the Lgbt festival that is taking place in sarajevo,,,,but not enough that is lgbt it is also taking place at the time of the Ramadan right before the bajram,,,I was shocked when I heard the comments of the workers on the lgbt community while they were reading the article,,,On comment: "they are sick, they should be locked, burned just not alive,,,,and so on.,,,,and I said nothing although I had more than enough to say about it. I myself am Muslim and I don't agree with them.

Do you think I should have sent something, and made my opinion clear?

and a little information,,,I am bi.

Answer 1

What you did was absolutely right.

You shouldn't have confronted them...because if they can say all that just be reading the newspaper, then they can easily insult you a lot.

I am a Muslim too, but I do not believe in all that either....I only believe in being me, and that is what matters, not what people think of me.

So, confronting them wouldn't have made any difference...they way they say those explains it all.

They would have freaked out, or even attacked you.

However, even I agree with IslandSun...this is really not the correct timing for the LGBT festivals.

I mean, don't you remember how these Muslim Fundamentalists overreacted when Saddam Hussain was executed on the Eid Day?

You should just forget about them....I'm sure you have got other things to worry about.

I would have commented that it's time for a Change in the World.  

Answer 3

Its about your safety, physically and emotionally. Ideally it would be great if you could have confronted them, they certainly need someone to hold them responsible for what they say.

But if you were not emotionally ready to do such a thing you may have had little, or no, impact on them while leaving yourself feeling highly vulnerable, a bad place to be when on the recieving end of verbal aggression (which you would likely have recieved judging from their comments.).

Don't beat yourself up, choose your battles wisely

Answer 4

I wouldn't.  Just stay out of it, you can't stop everyone's bigotry.  My friend is muslim and he is g*y too. Your going to hear c**p like that everywhere. Yes its terrible but don't worry yourself over it.

Answer 5

no its not like you would have changed their minds...you dont have to justify yourself to anyone!!! But knowing such opinions being common in most communities n not just islamic...i think its in poor taste to have a glbt festival during important religious seasons...im not against glbt festivals coz im g*y n muslim but the timing is all wrong...they wont get good press at all...worse then normal i guess.....
