Will the Islamists kill Islam?
#21
RE: Will the Islamists kill Islam?
I don't know where people are getting the idea from that Christianity had virtually disappeared in The UK by Victorian times. This was Victorian England we're talking about here, there was religious morality-policing everywhere whenever a woman wore "scandalous" make-up or bared even her wrists in public. It was a very puritanical Anglican Christian, socially conservative and sexually repressive era.

As for Islam, it's not going to reform while the conversation around Islam is divided between extremes of defensive apologetics on one side and vilification of all Muslims on the other. It's a fight that needs nuance, solidarity with Muslim dissenters and apostates, and promotion of their narratives and voices. You make their voices heard, then hopefully they can popularise a liberal secular movement among Muslims that can become more mainstream. This can open up Muslims being able to selectively choose how much Islam they practice, like Christians are now able to with Christianity.

"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."
