    The religious will never let their religion get in the way when it comes to filling their own pockets.

      Surah 104. Al-Humazah

      Woe to every slanderer backbiter.

      Who gathers wealth and counts it over.

      Thinking that his wealth has made him immortal.

      By no means. He will be thrown into the Crusher.

      I know it’s basically impossible to say someone isn’t in a religion (much to the chagrin of many a devout and reasonable religious person), but this surah is so specifically against this guy in particular.

      I’m sorry, explain to me how making money by fooling bigoted assholes is anything except funny as hell? Unethical, sure, but I respect the hustle.

      It sounds like you’re mad cause you could have fallen for it, given your apparent /r/atheism attitude you’re displaying here.

      Also, it does sound like he didn’t know what was going on with the videos. The onus is still on the bigoted dipshits who gave him an audience.

        Because it feeds the hatred, purely for money. There is nothing even remotely funny about it. We know the followers of right wing ideologies, be they British white fascists or Pakistani Islamists are stupid and easily fooled, but also potentially violent, and a lot of innocent people are likely to get hurt from them, in part because of the stupid propaganda hate they have consumed.
