Bach | @HDE226868 Whether there are reasonable concerns at the bottom of what Bob says and thinks, even if he perceives them in an exaggerated light, matters for how Bradley should react. It's not interpersonal prudence to label anyone who disagrees with you on this a bigot. | |

| Aug 20, 2017 at 14:39 | comment | added | vsz | The question contains too many highly subjective terms, and seems to be less like a question about "how do I deal with Bob", but more about "look, I just want to post my political opinion and the same time call all who disagree to be evil and stupid, so please, confirm that my view is right". This question needs some serious editing to be really about "How do i deal with my friend who has an ideological view opposite to mine". It might also happen that the OP is biased, because I've seen plenty of times that even a slight criticism of Islam was handled as the most vile Nazism. | |

| Aug 19, 2017 at 23:16 | comment | added | Bradley Thomas | It's not clear to me what your goal is other than to "approach this". I'm not sure what this means. If he's your friend why do you need to "approach" a divisive topic? Is it because you feel a desire to change his attitudes or behavior? Because this aspect of his is not tolerable to you? Politics aside, love and/or deep friendship means accepting people how they are. In many ways one cannot simultaneously fulfill the roles of friend and political activist with an agenda | |

Edited title to fix typo ("xenephobic" -> "xenophobic").

| Aug 19, 2017 at 16:04 | comment | added | HDE 226868 | I've deleted a number of comments on the question and answers. The question's not about whether or not Bob's xenophobia and Islamophobia are justified; it's about how @BradleyWilson should respond to Bob. Any comments attempting to support either side will likely be deleted. | |

| Aug 19, 2017 at 8:55 | comment | added | Bradley Wilson | Nope, he's a working-class British white male. He's literally reading lies and believing them. (i.e. thinks all Muslims are terrorists or terrorist sympathisers as an example) | |
| Aug 19, 2017 at 8:54 | comment | added | NVZ | Does Bob himself face some sort of hate for things which he didn't choose? I mean, is he facing discrimination for his color, origin, etc? | |
| Aug 19, 2017 at 8:52 | comment | added | Bradley Wilson | @NVZ No, we don't. (but I do have Muslim friends, outside of it) | |
| Aug 19, 2017 at 8:51 | comment | added | NVZ | Do you have Muslim friends in your circles? | |
