What, like these people?

I think I'm going to start doing this more often, showing people what exactly these "strong religious beliefs" are and what their "culture" is like.
I'm not doing this to deny that there's real Wahhabism and a push for Sharia even in Europe, there is. But we seriously need to stop indirectly giving power to Islamists by erasing normal people, to whom Islam is just one part of their multi-faceted identities. Like I said yesterday, you are not going to beat this far-right Islamist movement by shaming this apparently homogeneous "Muslim community". Change comes with normalising stories like the ones I posted, instead of giving so much attention and platforming to reactionary religious fascism masquerading as "authentic culture".

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
