Bro, let’s stop pretending.
Muslims make up about 25% of the entire world’s population — over 2 billion people across 50+ countries.
Japanese people? About 1.4% of the world. One single country.
Shinto exists only in Japan.
So when people say “Japan should prioritize minorities and be more accommodating to Islam,” who exactly are we talking about?
The global majority is coming to one of the world’s smallest ethnic and religious groups and demanding that Japan change its culture, food, and traditions for them.
That’s not “protecting minorities.” That’s the majority trying to colonize a tiny minority.
Japan has every right to protect its own people and culture first.
If Muslims want to live under Islamic rules, they already have dozens of countries where they can do that. They don’t need to come to Japan and turn it into another one.
@JessicaJackCFR@TheAfroElite Ms. Jackson, I'm a Florida resident, but you really needed to be on this platform months and months ago. Glad to see you here. Better late than never as they say...
It’s really rich hearing this from a coach that paid players for decades and all but ruined Big Ten football during that time. Now they’ve fallen behind and the sky is falling.
That would probably be the Yi Peng Lantern Festival, celebrated in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It's is a traditional festival of lights that features the release of thousands of sky lanterns, which symbolize the relief of misfortune and the sending of wishes to the heavens.
