This discussion painting an entire religion, condemning and insulting a billion individuals, as criminal and violent is ignorant and disgusting, and should not be on Hacker News (or anywhere else in civilized society). I can only imagine what Muslim readers of HN feel when reading it, seeing that our community - and YCombinator - appear to condone it. The problem isn't Muslims, Christians or any other religion; it's…

We need to talk about Islam's human rights problems all the time everywhere because that's the only way these problems will ever see the light of day. In Muslim countries these problems are always buried and there is a conspiracy to keep them buried so that no social progress can be made. That's immensely disrespectful to the victims of these problems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zina#Human_rights_controversy

If you want to say certain governments have human rights problems, and we should speak out, I agree; some are in predominately Muslim countries but most are not. If you want to say some religion and its members promote human rights problems, I say that comment is ignorant and discriminatory. Ironically, by spreading that in our society, you are creating human rights problems.

But that's generally discouraged by law. Don't some muslim countries have laws violently that punish sexually promiscuous people?

Please look it up before you say things like this.

I am infuriated that people think that crime in Muslim countries represents Muslims, but crime in other countries represents criminals.

I don't see anyone here saying that this represents all Muslims. There is a difference between stereotyping an entire group based on the actions of a few, and merely acknowledging the actions of a few. The fact that some Muslims practice honor killings is just reality, same as the fact that some Christians murder gay people or drive them to suicide. Pointing out that some may suffer due to the actions of those few do…

"there is ample market opportunity in providing secure services and communications for Muslim clients." You mean aiding and abeitting terrorists? That's the nonsense they'll mention when they target that company or its founders. "They" means about any country in the Wassenar Agreement, part of many Eyes coalition, prone to mass surveillance, or concerned about terrorism. That's unfortunately about every democracy or…

If a terrorist organization wants secure communications, they will find a way to get them, whether by an app with encryption by default like Telegram or something they make in-house. You can't stop or prevent that unless you intend to do so for everybody on Earth. It has nothing to do with being Muslim.
