I’m guessing it’s like Christianity where there are leftist Christians who follow Jesus’ more progressive messages such as giving to the less fortunate and healing the sick, and then there are the scary Christian evangelicals that want A Handmaids Tale and conversion therapy. Logically, Islam probably isn’t a monolith in a similar way other religions aren’t.
However, I have never heard about what those of the Islamic faith actually believe outside of the hysterical post 9/11 Islamophobia I’ve been indoctrinated with as a child.
I want to know what the truth is and hear the other sides story. To me it’s obvious that Islamophobia is wrong, however when Islamophobes make wild claims about it, I can’t really refute them confidently because I’m simply ignorant of the facts. Please educate my dumb, white ass.
Post-religious society is something Marx talked about.
That’s the thing: it comes after a whole lot of other social restructuring. Being smarmy and condescending toward people that have religion as one of their only forms of comfort in a crushingly unjust system is just being a privileged Reddity asshole scoring euphoria points by looking down on less enlightened beings, as seen in this thread.
