@KarolusWangus@DontNukeAnyone is that why absolutely Zero of the factions that have went to war over Gaza are christian? what a retarded thing to think let alone publish to the nonretarded world at large
One of the more annoying aspects of converting to Islam (sorry but I refuse to say "reverting," because this requires much time, effort, and oftentimes frustration on the part of new Muslims) is the automatic assumption that it's done for the same insincere reasons as tradcaths.
Bit by bit, as tentacles of western imperialism fall, you will find the avg western leftist uncomfortable & outraged. This will manifest in Islamophobia, third world reductionism, resistance condemnations, racism. Spiritually Israeli is spiritually American & spiritually British.
it just makes me feel like they don't know any black leftists, any black elders, any black formerly incarcerated people and that they haven't read anything about our movements
converting is a well established practice w/in the Black Radical tradition
Really vindicated by how angry this post made the Western chauvinists. Islam is factually universalist and decentralized in a way other religions are not and this has a clear material effect, measurable in things like volunteers to Bosnia, Yemeni blockades, and Iranian bombs.
@WxPolitics15 nearly all resistance movements are built from the former and almost none have been built from the later. something to consider for the Reddit Atheist on Twitter
@Prometeo1926@DontNukeAnyone your theory has subzero utility in the world we live in. i wonder if that causes you to pause and consider other points of view, but i know for a fact it never will lol.
@SakakiIsCute There's nothing strange about an "adult convert" to Islam at all. There is in fact an extremely long history of left wing militants converting to Islam.
