Stop destroying prejudices against Muslims! How can you show them to be self confident and intelligent people that don’t need a white savior to explain the world to them?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still very against conservative Muslims, as much as I am against conservative Christians, ultra-orthodox Jews etc…
But it’s clear that there’s nuance, so like one can be a Christian and also be accepting of gays and trans people, one can be the same while believing in Islam. The ones I can’t stand are those that use their preferred book to put themselves on a pedestal and be terrible to other people, but this trait is not limited to one specific religion, or even to religion itself.
Probably that a Muslim can both be open to trans people and wear a hijab at the same time.
Tbh is much easier to reconcile than you’d think.

So in other words, we are people like everyone else.
Right, so they’ve never met a Muslim person (or I guess only met the much more rare ultra conservative kind)
