@icuselle exactly, muslims crying about how people care when hijab is “forced” but don’t care when it’s banned is redundant because they fail to recognize that the issue is these little girls are deliberately being taught to prioritize their ‘deen’ over their education
@ArmalBelton well i have definitely heard it in my family before (my tweet was an exaggeration) but we predominantly used dunya for it since my family was ultra religious LOL, i also interpret for pashto and afghan pashtuns usually get confused when i say narai so i usually say dunya
@ArmalBelton and my family does speak pashto, so i grew up speaking pashto primarily, but i did learn urdu and dari in the short time i was in afghanistan
@ArmalBelton it’s fine! my family (parents included) is directly from kunar, however they moved to kabul when my parents were teenagers. i was born in kabul but i moved to america when i was 5! my pashto is still very strong but moving to america is probably why i’m more used to loanwords
@ArmalBelton@ZarlashtaW@MalalaFund oh yeah lol i hate malala she’s such a sell out and it doesn’t help that she’s a pakistani pashtun who completely ignores how pashtun women are treated in pk
@ArmalBelton well, even if i was a persianized pashtun, i don’t think that’s something for me to be insulted by, but i probably don’t know it because i didn’t grow up in afghanistan, even though my family has been pashtun forever lol
y'all are actually dumb asf. hijab is used to oppress women in iran and afghanistan, where women get killed over it. banning religious symbols in azerbaijani schools is abt secular education, not controlling women's bodies. it's abt keeping kids free from religious indoctrination
He did a good job of defending the classical implementation of apostacy laws, but what this style of Islamic dawa cannot answer is:
Why would someone who comes from a culture with freedom of thought and secular governance embrace this worldview?
