    So don’t be kind to people who need it because they could betray you later?

    Sounds like Republican logic to me.

    The reason to help people is because they need it, not because you need to get something from them.

    These people have the right to upset and outraged that they were betrayed by a community that they supported.

    But the logic being suggested here that they should have never offered helped because this was inevitable is not only cold and heartless but also xenophobic and discriminatory against Muslims.

    You all sound like GOP voters.

    Edit: Mocking people for showing compassion is a new low here. Your anger and hate is turning you into the people you deride. Take a long look in the mirror people.

      Yeah, showing kindness isn’t the mistake, expecting it in return ^(especially if common sense says otherwise)^ is.

        They’re telling them how they feel and you’re laughing at them.

        I’ll say it again. You all went from laughing at conservatives for being hurt by the people they elected to just laughing at people hurt by conservatives. Now you just sound like Trumpers for pointing at victims of laughing.

      I think it’s more a “you shouldn’t expect people will change their whole belief system just because you helped them materially. Don’t vote bigots into office, regardless of situation.”

      Nonsense. If your chosen belief system includes edicts to harm other people you can fuck right the fuck off with your false indignation. You’re the asshole in the room, not everyone else.

        Again, lumping all those practicing a religion into the same pot is discriminatory. It’s at the very least stereotyping. If you know anything about religion and the people who practice it, you would know that there’s a much variation from church to church or mosque to mosque as there are between major religions. I’m an atheist and even I know not every Christian church and Christian person believe or practice the same things, the same goes for Muslims.

        This is how you make enemies of allies before you even give them a chance. If you want to alienate every single Muslim person without even giving them a chance the you’re just as bad as Trump voters.

        AND EVEN IF, it was safe to assume that they would vote against flying pride flags, the people who gave them help and compassion did nothing wrong. If you believe otherwise you’re more of a villain that the Muslims who betrayed them.

        If you think casting people out because they were raised to believe some shit in a book that was written thousands of years ago is going to making things better, you’re the idiots here. Their children will remember the compassion, and maybe that will change them. Isolating them and treating them as unwanted would never make anything better.

          No one is saying that they shouldn’t have been shown compassion. They’re saying that they shouldn’t have been elected to office.

            Where the fuck does it say they voted for them? You idiots are all laughing at someone for helping people and being betrayed.

            Y’all went from laughing at conservatives hurt by conservatives to just laughing at people hurt by conservatives. What’s next, the little kids with cancer being deported?

          Because any of that had worked so far. You’re scarily ignorant.

            Again, turning inward and only taking care of your own team are exactly the attitudes of the people this place is meant to mock, and it’s exactly why we are in the situation we’re in.

              Nah, I’m not going to stop pointing out hypocritical bullshit just because it conflicts with some weird idealistic worldview you’ve got.

        The comments and fact that this is posted here means the people hurt should have assumed so.
