Für einen universellen #Humanismus. Wir sprachen mit @MeronMendel über das Massaker der #Hamas am 7. Oktober und die intellektuelle Faulheit eines Teils der gesellschaftlichen Linken.

In the last two months, I gained more than 170,000 new followers! 100k on X and 70k on TikTok. So, allow me to introduce myself to new followers:
I am a 30-year-old writer who moved to Sweden 9 years ago as a refugee from Yemen. Moving from one of the most conservative and traditional Muslim countries to one of the most liberal and secular countries in the world has been eye-opening and life-changing, to say the least.
Religiously, I am still trying to find myself. I was a religious Muslim for 20 years, and then became an atheist, and then back to God in the form of naturalistic pantheism. None of this matters, my religious and spiritual journey are my own to make.
The problem here is I would be killed in Yemen and 11+ Muslim countries and jailed in most other Muslim countries, for not subscribing to mainstream Islam.
If I were to write "I am an Atheist Muslim," in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Qatar, etc.
I would get the death penalty.
This Islamic dogma is my enemy. On a personal level, it wants my blood. On a societal level, it wants the whole world to submit to it. And we see this happening everywhere.
I do not belong to any political party or any movement. I am neither ”right-wing” nor ”left-wing.” But due to my criticism of Islamic culture – the culture I grew up in – and the unregulated migration from Muslim countries to Europe, I am often stamped as ”right-wing,” or in a few insidious cases, ”far-right.” When in reality, I had always identified myself as left-leaning.
In Yemen, I called myself a ”hardcore feminist,” for obvious reasons; women in my country are treated as kitchen-bound baby-making machines who should be covered and hidden.
When I moved to Sweden, I thought that this immense violation of women would be a obvious major concern to Swedish feminists. But I came to realize that Swedish feminists don't care about Arab and Muslim women who are gravely oppressed and silenced.
They care about pronouns, the "wage gap," and gender-affirming therapy. Their fight is not my fight.
I grew up to the image of my beautiful mother, who encompasses what a real feminist should be like. To many Yemenis, she is a ”whore who doesn’t wear the hijab and is trying to destroy Islam.” To me, she is my hero.
On one hand, she took care of three children on her own. On the other hand, she earned a Master’s degree, and a Ph.D., and ran Yemen’s most impactful women’s rights non-governmental organization – all at the same time. She made me realize that women are more than baby-making machines.
Around 3 months ago, I decided to start making videos and content in English, but I had no idea that my videos would reach so many people like they did.
I've received a lot of hate, but the overwhelming response has been incredibly positive. I am even more happy to hear so many progressive Muslims and ex-Muslims who live in Muslim countries reach out to me saying: ”Thank you for saying things we wish we could openly say.”
Lastly, I want to thank you all for your kind words, for liking, sharing, following, and supporting my voice. I appreciate it greatly. 2024 will be full of content.
@Renniealba @EnnySolli @JustLuai which is completely absurd, considering religion being "opium for the masses" according to the ppl who concieved the political philosophy of socialism/communism.
@Volker014@Hoellenaufsicht sperren die denn eigentlich auch "Palästinenser" aus, wenn die Juden ermorden oder grundsätzlich "from the river to the sea" exterminieren wollen?
As world focuses on Gaza, Turkey renews attacks on Syrian Kurds!
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ended peace talks with PKK & 2.5-year-long cease-fire
And to think Turkey is part of NATO & UN, now wants to enter the EU
Surely not? Yeah well ..

@CurlingRust@JoeBiden I guess he wasn´t, he was busy being a russian asset full time and releasing thousands of taliban terrorists from prison so they could take Afghanistan and its people back to the middle ages. That´s your man.
@Juullickx@Gaza_Shaheed although I get what you are trying to say: don´t insult ppl with actual mental illness.
"Normal" people have committed heinous crimes throughout history.
Unfortunately, religious and political fanaticism and group violence are part of the repertory of the human species.
@ii4urx @LDelsoll@IDF what a sick death cult. I feel sorry for the children who are being used as "martyrs" by their "government" for an unattainable cause. No wonder they didn´t build 1 shelter for the civilian population: they want to maximize civilian deaths. I get why Egypt is building a wall.
@MostafaAlg_baly @POTUS so the 10 month old baby, 4 yo Brother, their mom and dad, as well as the young women who where kidnapped during the massacre at the festival are all army personel?
Or, I guess, you are saying all of these women where killed by hamas?
@dawoodvirk107@visegrad24 but the killing and support of killing of babies and innocent civilians is totally fine when the babies and civilians happen to be jews and when hamas is doing the killing, right?
Sounds like facism to me.
"Vater, du wirst eines Tages stolz auf meine Entscheidung sein", sagte die 16-jährige Amrita, als ihr Vater sie bat, mehr auf sich selbst zu achten, nachdem sie das Haus ohne Kopftuch verlassen hatte. Diese Worte werden von ihrer Schwester in einem Instagram-Beitrag geteilt.
#ArmitaGaravand ist nach Wochen im Koma verstorben, ähnlich wie Mahsa Amini, beide Opfer der Sittenpolizei der Mullahs im Iran.
@ThePrintIndia@tuvangumrukcu@burcuas nice, Erdogan, the butcher of Kurds and Syrians and journalists is calling someone else what he is. But I guess he´s not e jew so no one cares if he kills muslims.

Hilo de #ULTIMAHORA Mucho se habla de los niños palestinos inocentes, pero casi nunca se muestra como son usados por sus padres y Hamas, con fines violentos, en su lucha contra Israel. Aquí vamos a mostrar el radicalismo y lavado de cabeza al que son sometidos.
¿Mas? 👇
@common_sense786@mishtal nice try. Hamas ist the host and financier of Hamas, and Erdogan is a known backer of islamist terror. Who are you kidding. They aren´t "neutral" or mediators. They are in bed with Hamas.
Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, wie oft behauptet wird, der 7. Oktober und die Taten der Hamas wären eine Folge des Verhaltens Israels in den letzten 75 Jahren.
Hier einige Indizien, dass dem nicht so ist.
