The hand that feeds....

I'm surprised a group of Christians haven't decided to do the same thing then.

Christians in general are more tolerant of people who have different views from them. Muslims on the other hand in general label them as an infidel who needs to be killed.

That doesn't fit the narrative.  I mean how long has it been since Christian religions executed an apostate?

Those people are not Muslims. They're radicalized idiots. Most Christian's I've met has been anti lbtq and pretty judgemental.

You say they do not follows Allah's teachings and then they they do.

 

Good to hear that most Christians are at least OK with Intersectionality.

 

Does make me wonder where you hang, I was baptised, went to a CoE school, we had a Chapel, Vicar who I am pretty sure was gay etc and the number I come across who meet your description is infinitesimally small.

 

Must be different in Sweden.

I work at a school in America.

 

In Sweden we are not really religious and we don't have any issues with gay people. They can get married in church and have kids mostly without people freaking out. So yeah it different in Sweden, we're more tolerable.

Does that include all the new Muslims living in Sweden?

There were groups of Christians that did boycott Starbucks when they changed the design of the Christmas cups a few years back. Apparently cups that lacked snowflakes and reindeer were fueling the 'War on Christmas'.

 

Anyway, if select groups of Indonesians and Malaysians want to boycott Starbucks, who cares? Pretty sure Starbucks will continue to thrive elsewhere and continue to support LGBTQ rights. A boycott is better than violent action.

if muslims in general felt this way enough to drive through crowds, no one would be able to walk on sidewalks in this country. how many muslims here now? 3.5 million?

Oh the irony is hilarious.

 

EDIT:

 

As for the article, the group that is primarily "denouncing" starbucks (Perkasa) has 500,000 members. They mention another group where "leaders" have denounced Starbucks (Muhammadiyah), but it doesn't seem like they are calling for a boycott. So that is a group representing 500,000 people (We are assuming all in Malaysia), in a country of 30 million. That's less than 2% of the country.
