What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

I would think you leave your religion at the door when you come into work and if fasting makes you hangry, then eat something.

Dunno where you got that impression from, but it’s not a requirement of any employer. In fact it’s permitted in equality legislation for employers to discriminate in favour of candidates who are of the same religion as themselves, such as schools.

Looks like us lads can now turn up to work, hungover, give dogs abuse to colleagues from now on

An employer still doesn’t have the right to dismiss you unfairly. That should have been obvious from the first line in the article -

A sales executive has been awarded over €329,000 for unfair dismissal after being sacked without a formal warning over bullying allegations.

3. Competing victimhoods and phobia inflation

There is a problem of competing victimhoods in our society, seen in frequent accusations of homophobia, Islamophobia, transphobia. Once we get into defining new ‘phobias’ we will never stop. Every minority group in the country will want a ‘phobia’ of their own, and some majority groups too.

These accusations sometimes have merit but are often used rather as tools to shut down debate.

As Christians, we do not want to participate in a competition for victim status nor do we want the government to encourage the adoption of a victim mentality. Victim mentalities allow people to see the world through a lens of deliberate, constant oppression, leading to a sense of helplessness and inaction. Clumsily-worded criticisms are perceived as personal attacks. Bad luck is perceived as systemic oppression. Rather than leading to determination to make things better, victim mentalities motivate and reward inaction and hypersensitivity.

I’m not misrepresenting your point at all. You suggested it was interesting that only one religion gets it own word to designate it’s criticism. It’s because someone invented it, it’s not because Muslims asked for it.

That’s why I understood why you were making the point about atheistophobia, and why I pointed out that it’s indicative of your own victim mentality. There’s nothing stopping you being critical of Islam, there’s also no need to play the victim as if anyone is preventing you from criticising Islam, or any other religion for that matter.

I didn’t make the wrong assumption about your views. I know exactly what you’re saying, and I know exactly what you were driving at. My point is so what if anyone attempts to shut down a discussion by bandying about phobia this, phobia that, it’s not preventing you from expressing an opinion, is it?

Instead you decided to be just as ridiculous with the atheistophobia nonsense. That’s why I said you were playing the victim, because I never said any such thing. I pointed out that Christians generally want nothing to do with the *phobia nonsense, it’s not that they don’t have a designated word for anti-Christian sentiments.

LOL there are people bending over backwards to find positive aspects of the daylong fasting that prevents them from hydrating and taking any oral medicine (instead of calling it what is is, that is religiously motivated self harming) so yeah somehow it's our fault for victimizing ourselves or smth.

Islam hasn’t any special place within Western culture though, whereas Christianity very much has a special place within Western culture. Christianity is so ingrained in Western culture that people don’t give it a second thought, whereas Islam which comes from a predominantly foreign culture, there are people who portray it as something to be feared on the basis of a few extremist nutters going off the reservation.

Generally speaking people don’t give Islam a second thought either, and that’s why it’s not that Western media is afraid to be critical of Islam, it’s that most people simply can’t relate to it, and on that basis it hardly lends itself to satire. Dara O’ Brian makes the same point, only better -

As much as I despise religion, Christianity was part of the culture that developed the devices we are using now to have this debate. The other culture developed, what, I don't know, kebabs maybe?
