    I love everything about this, and I just learned there’s a vegan flag (yay!), but the vegan flag looks like an email icon to me 🧐

      The vegan flag is gorgeous as it stands for the compassion towards others. Hopefully we will see more being flown all around the world and an emoji made for it.

      It does look a letter haha

    No Armenian Artsakh, no Alawis, no Yazidis, no other (than Armenians) Middle-Eastern Christians, like Assyrians. At least Copts are not under direct threat now, there appears to even be a movement of people reviving Coptic language and not all of them are Christian.

    And don’t get me started about Africa, the only people I sometimes hear about are Tuaregs, while Christian communities in situations just as desperate nobody even knows about. By the way, some of those descend from Coptic and Nubian traditions, these are some of the most beautiful kinds of Christianity.

    There seems to be that problem with Western academia - huge Islamophilia. Almost no group abused by Muslims is talked about for long, and no action is taken. But not the other way around. People even here love saying how Christianity is just as bad as Islam, well guess what, this statement works both ways and Islam is just as bad as Christianity. If you’d want to protect Muslims abused by Christians for their religion (I can’t think of examples other than Yugoslavia recently), then certainly protecting Christians abused by Muslims for their religion should be just as important?

    Oh, I forgot, Balkans are populated by European-looking people.

    EDIT: Also about said Western academia - it’s not surprising that some institution starts talking differently after taking money from royalty of sharia kingdoms for many years. What’s surprising is that everyone is fine with it.

    OK, I just wanted to point out that:

    first, “all these” are bullshit not covering most of the reality,

    second, you’re not protecting anyone by posting a picture in the Internet.
