"A ship to help refugees". Another way to word that is "A human trafficking vessel".
The boat Southern and the others identified does not bring refugees or migrants directly from Africa. The Aquarius is operated by a group called SOS Mediterranée with support from Doctors Without Borders, and is a search and rescue boat.
Refugees and migrants leaving war-torn Libya are often packed onto small, barely seaworthy vessels by people smugglers. The smugglers often abandon the boats, without fuel, in international waters.
The Aquarius and other rescue organizations and various navies and coast guards pick up survivors, but thousands have died in the past several years attempting to make the crossing.

"you hate muslims"? He said he hates Islam. Atheists say they hate religions all the time. Cry more.
People who say they hate Islam, tend to show that hatred towards Muslims. As for atheists saying they hate religion, not really sure about that... They usually don't believe in religion. You do have individual atheists say they "hate" a particular religion, but from past experiences, whenever someone says they hate Islam, they do tend to hate Muslims as well, even when they claim to be "progressive" on certain issues.
Why is this a big deal though? Considering the rise of anti-Muslim groups, it kinda is, especially when those very people are committing attacks on innocent human beings.
No need to get offended, but it's usually the case for your type.
