minus-squarekwomp2@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down3·8 months agoBecause historic context matters. (Get ready for some real life ambiguity) Imagine a ban on hijabs in a arabic country VS one in say, US or germany. I agree religion should generally be discarded. In that sense anti Islam acts can be progressive. Global power structures (post-colonialism, empirialism) are reproduced using islamophobia. In that sense anti islam acts (or jokes) can be oppressive.
minus-squareafraid_of_zombies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·7 months agoSomething is true or not depending on it if it corresponds with the real world. Not based on historical injustices. Criminals can be victims, victims can be criminals. Two unrelated peices of information. So yeah it sucks what happened to the Arabs. That doesn’t mean Islam is not to be criticized.

minus-squareafraid_of_zombies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoYou are a mod. Why not do something about the repeated locked posts touching on Islam? Either that or just rename this place “anti-christianity” to make it appropriate.
