There's a very comical irony in watching the world criticize muslims who choose to wear hijabs/niqabs, when last week they were dunking on women for wearing ~ scandalous ~ female gym wear.
They critique women's clothing as if they are the deciders of what a woman should and shouldn't wear, while also critiquing countries for doing the same: believing they are the deciders of what women should wear
Same intention, same entitlement same goal.
You might be thinking,
"gorl don't be obstuse, the obvious difference is that women aren't FORCED to wear scandalous gym clothes like Muslims are FORCED to wear the niqab/hijab"
And that's where you're wrong.
Contrary to what the media tells you to believe (bcuz media manipulation exists on both sides), most Muslim women actually can choose whether or not to wear the hijab. In fact, most Muslims I know, especially ismaili, do not wear the hijab, and were never expected or forced to.
So how did "Islamic" countries become a source of terrorism if this is not what Muslims preach?
Well it's not because of Islam.
They are corrupt countries because of the corrupt organizations and governments that run them, not because of the religion.
Think of it like how it is generally reasonable to critique the USFG or Israeli government for their actions, but not so reasonable to blame the people, who follow the common religion, for the acts of their governments.
All 3 hide behind religion as a way to justify the need for the damage they want to do.
These governments abuse the message of, "It's not what I want, it's what God wants".
They do this intentionally. People have a harder time addressing corruption when they are told that doing so would be against God's wishes (it's not btw)
No matter how hard you cope, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are objectively extremely similar and deeply connected.
I've watched people who have never read the Bible or Torah, read the Quran and say, "Wow! this religion is the MOST demonic one" when essentially the same texts can be found in the Bible and Torah...they just didn't read the other two, so they wouldn't know.
Any theologist will tell you that strict monotheism, the texts, the moral codes, etc are shared amongst all 3 religions. So unless you've read all, somewhat understand them, or spoke to an expert theologist, it's very likely what you think you believe about religion, is based on what people told you to believe.
And you ran with it.
Because for xenaphobes of any kind, it's not about learning, it's about winning something.
Americans and Christians do it to Jews, Israelies, Muslims, and Middle Easterners.
Muslims, Middle Easterners, Israelis, and Jews do it to Christians and Americans.
Jews and Israelis do it to Middle Easterners, Muslims, Christians, and Americans.
So no, Islam is not the reason why these governments are broken.
They are corrupt, so they use Islam as a scapegoat. The same way Israel hides behind Judaism and the US hides behind Christianity
The world was told Christians are horrible. So people hated Christians. That stopped being the narrative so they moved on to whoever they were told to hate next.
The same people who demonized the Jewish people bcuz of how the Israeli government functions, have been directed to hate Muslims instead, as if the issues with Israel were just suddenly resolved.
And that's where we are now. The same people who call themselves Jews, Christians, and Muslims do exactly what God explicitly told them not to: demonize other religions.
While the results are vastly different in different places, it's simply because they are vastly different levels of the same exact thing: deep government corruption, not religion.
And if you dont believe in religion, God, or monotheism in general well...this blurb of text is probably not written for you.
