If your anger towards Iran is hotter than your anger towards those starving Gaza, something inside you has been colonised.
If you feel more discomfort seeing black banners in Beirut than seeing white phosphorus in Rafah, your problem is not sectarian confusion.
Your problem is that you have accepted empire’s enemy list as if it were revelation.
Bangladeshis, who are predominantly Muslims, are protesting against the barbaric act of Saudi Arabia, whereas some clowns in Nigeria supported the execution.
Saudi Arabia has been executing dissidents, jailing journalists, and conducting a war in Yemen that has produced one of the worst humanitarian crises on earth.
Britain, France, and America have sold it weapons throughout.
Not reluctantly. Not with conditions. Enthusiastically, with trade delegations and arms fairs and billions in contracts.
The same governments that speak about Muslim extremism as an "existential threat" to "Western values" are the primary suppliers of the regime that funds the specific theological tradition, Wahhabism, most associated with the extremism they claim to be fighting.
This is not a paradox.
It is a policy.
The extremism is useful. The weapons sales are profitable. The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is not a television story in most Western countries.
If you want to understand Islamophobia, not as a cultural accident but as a political function, start here.
Start with who benefits from a population that fears Islam in the abstract and cannot see the arms deal in the specific.

People that have sense.
Before tomorrow they’ll get on the pulpit and tell Chinese youth that they are a revival nation not an industrial one.
Nip that shit in the bud.
