LOL as far as I know, there aren’t levels of haram. I don’t think you can pick and choose.
If you are that worried that using a product with a gay promotional sign is going to turn you gay, you’re already gay.
I seriously think this is it. One of my childhood friends went full maga, but there were signs early. I remember how performative he was about his hate for sour cream and mayo, because of the similar hue to ejaculate. Dude legit feigned gagging one time at Taco Bell. He could’ve had a career as an actor if only it wasn’t woke.
I got some clearance rainbow shoelaces shopping with my elderly aunt one time and she was like “people are going to think you’re gay.” And my legit reaction was “so?” Things that literally make no difference to me in my day to day life. Meanwhile you’re saying straight dudes can’t enjoy :: checks my notes:: fucking colors? Yeah fuck all the way off with that. Imma eat and wear whatever the fuck I want.
When a guy is trying way too hard to constantly prove he’s not gay, he’s covering.
Anyone who says that being gay is a choice is gay. I can only use myself as an example. I’m not gay and it wasn’t a choice.
Exactly. If you are making a choice between straight or gay, then you are gay, because a straight person NEVER questions it. They’re just straight.
I remember the first time I heard about it as a choice, and I was confused. I assumed that all people felt the same as me, they just like who they like, and don’t question it. But if some people feel they have to make a choice, that means they feel gay, but are making the choice to ignore/suppress it, and live straight.
I really feel bad for those lost people. Embrace your Self.
This might be one of the realest shit I’ve read, to date, about the debate.

OOP is obviously making a joke…
I like the subtle detail they posted this during Ramadan.
Good, you shouldn’t get to enjoy the vastness of our world if you can’t respect the fact that other people exist.
Reminds me of an old friend of mine. Happy to get schlammered every weekend, but would get offended and take it personally if he was offered a ham sandwich or some bacon.
To them it’s like God might forgive them if they commit a mass murder, but not if they eat pork.
I think if you look, not hard - just use your eyes like normal, you’ll find that idiot assholes come in all shapes, sizes, sexes, colors, religions, political/sexual orientation, whatever.
“I drink alcohol and fuck men, but I’m not gay. Keep that pork away from me”.
This seems to be the most popular attitude among muslim men
If you’re looking at the minority that is specifically: “Men in western society who are Muslim in the same way Trump is Christian” then maybe.
Otherwise, the majority of Muslims do not drink alcohol.
With regards to the sexuality, then yes. There are a large number of Muslim men who are repressed LGBTQ individuals that are afraid of what their community might do to them. All of this is while Saudi Arabia also has full educational tracks segregated by gender worsening the sexual confusion of all minors, in addition to leading to abusive relationships (many of which involve minor sexual abuse).
It’s wild that no one’s pushed back on this. Most Muslims drink and have sex with other men? That’s a preposterous and bigoted claim.
Statista sucks, so this is the clearest archive version I can find, but in France, a western country with a well integrated Muslim population and a significant drinking culture, the largest demographic of Muslim drinkers were those over 50 at 30%, whereas those under 25 were at 15%, and presumably the 25-50 year olds look to drink at a rate of ~22-25%
The pork thing seems a lot more ingrained than the alcohol thing. Wonder if it has something to do with trichinosis.
Kind of a tradition thing for me and my siblings. If you grew up thinking it’s unedible then it becomes weird to eat.
For example most people from US would not eat cat meat even if they were given $10 to do it. No religious idea there it’s just “culturally unedible.”
This is different from octopus etc which are more so in “I didn’t know people ate it but I was never told it can’t be” or “neutral” territory.
Tbh, I’ve also known a lot of Jews who will eat a cheeseburger or shrimp, but not pork.
I grew up Catholic, but my dad can’t digest pork, so we never ate it or had it in the house growing up (turns out I can’t digest it either, which I didn’t learn until I inadvertently ate some at a restaurant as an adult). I’m now a vegan and I enjoy meat alternatives, but I have zero interest in anything that tries to seem like any pork products. I once got some ground fake meat that I thought was supposed to be beeflike, but it was modeled on pork and I had to give away the chili I had made because I couldn’t stomach it.
It’s a very strong taste and smell, so if you don’t grow up with it, it’s probably not something that actually appeals to you past curiosity about the whole bacon meme (it was way too heavy and the umami equivalent of sickly sweet imo and got stuck in my teeth more than I expected it to)
Probably because, even if you want to eat meat, it’s easy go for alternatives. When it comes to alcohol, no easy alternative can be used.
There are plenty of alternatives to alcohol that can be used to get high. People just lack imagination.
The Quran tells Muslims to avoid all intoxicants, not just alcohol.
Alcohol makes you look cool to your friends (at least they think so) and not eating pork makes you look cool to other muslims
If memory serves me well, the drinking of alcohol is also forbidden.

(Also it’s Ramadan so alcohol is like double-forbidden now)
That’s kind of the point of the post.
Can somebody please tell that to their governments, then?
I’m still trying to forget the videos where they tossed human beings from buildings, or slowly hang them up, just for loving the wrong person.
Since this is a picture of a liquor store with labeling in English, I’m guessing “their government” is in Washington DC. Or maybe London.
I’m not happy with everything their government is doing, either, but it’s not easy to change.
It’s nice you remember the original commenter there are Muslims outside of the middle-east, and this shop may well be outside in the middle east, but it’s unlikely it is Washington DC or Londen considering nobody would get a bottle for $799.99 or £799.99.
Yeah. Brain fart by me. Only English is the absolut logos.
But I’m going to stand with the idea that a country with a government that executes people for being gay isn’t going to have a liquor store showing corporate pride flags
And even in countries with those government, changing the government isn’t a simple (or safe) thing.
It’s definitely somewhere in Southeast Asia.
Ah, Americans, so focused on the dysfunctionalities of other countries because US media uses them constantly to manufacture consent for war against them. Never gets old. Oh wait, it does.
Shares the same stupid monkey brain with bigots everywhere. And with the rest of us, unfortunately.
Nah Absolut are just proud of their clever wink wink rainbow marketing that cleverly doesn’t say anything pro LGBTQ+ so people don’t… ah bollocks well they saw right through that one
Yes and no. It’s the 6 color rainbow which is specifically the LGBTQIA2S+ flag and not ROY G BIV. Those that use the 7 color rainbow are the ones trying to skirt the issue.
I think it’s a weak signal and they don’t get any points for a(n almost) technically correct encoding
Visiting Mynia Egypt in the eighties (famed as a center of conservative Islam), the male students I met in the tea houses didn’t seem to mind to deepen their friendships.

It’s clear you don’t have any muslim friend.
Muslims not eating pork is Islamophobia.
