No no. I replied because you're one of the few reasonable replies here.
I agree, the contradiction is imperialism and it will use whatever methods available to maintain itself.
Apologies (and thank you)! I misunderstood what you said. I will leave my reply as is for those that are still lurking around.
No problem and thank you for the conversation.
Don't get me wrong, lots of times religions have been used as a weapon, like in Indonesia as you said but we could really talk about so many.
But to use that and say all types of Islam are equally reactionary and to blanket criticize religion generally is just xenophobic chauvanism. People in the Lemmy version of this thread are saying pretty heinous things and theres still a lot of questionable posts in this lemmygrad one too.
The development of Resistance Islam as part of Khomeinist revolution in Islamic politics and thought is objectively good for all people on earth, Muslims and not Muslims. One cannot be Pro-Palestine and think such things about religious people and faiths generally. Thats my only point here.
And to drive the point really home: the genocidal Israel is a secular project.
