(I believe this happened a few months ago, absolutely heartbreaking. Rest in peace.)

This tweet is currently going viral with (of course) a lot of men claiming ‘this is because of culture, not religion!’

They clearly lack critical thinking skills because while yes, the religion does not state women should be killed for showing their hair, she is still ordered to wear it by the Quran and threatened with Jahannam (hellfire). A woman revealing her hair is seen as a dishonour to the family - the exact motive for this case. Misogynistic culture obviously is a factor too. The entitlement to women’s bodies, control over their life or death, normalised violence. This case is clearly a result of both religion and culture.

Religion and misogynistic culture thrive because of one another. They use religion to justify their misogynistic cultural views and then claim ‘it’s culture!’ when something bad happens as a result.

In response to these comments from men, maybe do something about the mistreatment of women rather than play mental gymnastics because its culture not religion. Have some accountability. It’s still your culture and your religion, women are dying and you don’t care.

i need leftists to cope with their post 9/11 + Iraq/Afghan wars Islamophobia guilt in a way that doesn’t involve erasing the fact that, like it or not, Islam is a proselytizing religion that has fueled centuries of colonization, genocide, and imperialism. idealizing Islam as a purer, better alternative to Christianity is in itself Islamophobic, and it also ignores the many communities who have suffered at the hands of Islamic imperialism. it is possible to not be Islamophobic while acknowledging that.

#tonight on posts i might get cancelled for #i’m just so tired of people pretending that Islamization wasn’t destructive #and that Jews living under Muslim rule didn’t suffer #part of my family is Turkish #lived there during Ottoman rule #it wasn’t a good time!#and then there’s the Spanish Inquisition which. i simply cannot get started on rn #point is framing Islam as an uwu peace and love religion with no history of violence and conquest is wrong and orientalist!

Sohane Benziane (1984 – October 4, 2002) was a French girl of Algerian ancestry who was killed at the age of 17.

On October 4, 2002 in Vitry-sur-Seine, Val-de-Marne, Île-de-France, 17-year-old Sohane Benziane was burned alive in front of her friends in a cellar by her former boyfriend, a local caid (gang leader), after being tortured and raped.

Her case is one of many examples of brutal violence by muslim immigrants against non-muslim/non-hijabi women in France that keeps escalating to this day.

Never forget her name - Sohane Benziane

Faranak Amidi, an Iranian feminist, tweets about morality police and forced religion. It is brought up by the recent catastrophe in Iran. A 22 year old woman, Mahsa Amini, was killed by morality police for not wearing her hijab "properly". She was beaten brutally that resulted in brain injury. This is the thing we deal with on a daily basis in Iran. This is a bold example of freedom and human rights violation. This dystopia is not fictional.

A Scrap of Maldivian Buddhism

The Maldives are not a country we typically associate with Buddhism. Currently, it is primarily known to the West as a culturally denuded vacation dystopia/utopia catering to the cosmopolitan elite, though in reality, it also exists alongside a somewhat extremist Islamic state. A double whammy to ensure the cultural irrelevance of anything preceding even early modernity. The paucity of the…

Have to say that sometimes I think people don't actually hate religion, they just hate the way its been mistaught and misapplied throughout the years by various radical and/or ignorant factions. lol. but n e ways

#like. no religion actually tells you to hate others. no religion actually tells you to kill people who are different than you #and people who are like 'grr religion just teaches violence and hate' no it doesn't. your baptist church pastor who flipped open the bible #picked a random verse and decided to create an entire narrative around it did.#the nun at your catholic school who used to hit you did #flipping on the news and viewing very skewed interpretations of islam in order to generate the exact response you're feeling did #like. is the problem really religion or what people choose to do with it? lol #but anyways!

The enablers who carry water for terrorist organizations like Hamas are exactly the kind of useful idiots said terrorists can't wait to murder.

On The Stabbing of Bishop Mari Mar Emmanuel

i had shared what is happening in sudan on a long facebook post last night, but it virtually received almost little to no engagement or shares from the nearly 600 “friends” i have on the site.

this morning, my great-aunt was shot by the soldiers fighting for power, and God forbid, i lose more of my family members before eid this friday.

please read below to understand what is happening and how you can help my country. i hope the tumblr community can show more kindness than the lack of support and advocacy i’ve seen elsewhere.

يا رب اجعل هذا البلد آمناً 🇸🇩

the lack of awareness and advocacy from the African, Arab, and Muslim diaspora and the human rights community has been painful.

while Western media has done little to no coverage of the ongoing conflict in the capital city of my motherland, Sudan, it appears that the rest of the world also partakes in normalizing crimes and violence against SWANA people.

violence and war hurting the SWANA region are NOT ordinary occurrences — no one, regardless of race, creed, ethnicity, religion, and gender, should experience the unprecedented amount of violence that harms my two living grandmothers, aunts and uncles, and baby cousins who live in Khartoum.

your decision to ignore reading or educating and discussing with others about what is likely to be a civil war is complicity in viewing SWANA people as individuals who regularly experience conflict and are undeserving of help.

the silence is damaging, and it is up to us as privileged members of the diaspora (or individuals living in the Western world committed to human rights) to support the people of my country and their dream for a stable, democratically elected government.

what is happening in Sudan is a fight that started on April 15 between two competing forces for power — the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — neither groups are representative of the needs of our people. The Sudan Army is loyal to the dictator, Omar Al-Bashir, and the RSF is responsible for the genocide in Darfur.

with both power struggles backed by different Arab and Gulf nations, the two parties have been fighting for power for the last few years. While they worked together to try and end the people’s revolution, they lost. however, they are now in a constant power play of who will get to rule the nation.

this all means that war is NOT a reflection of my country — violence does not represent the SWANA people. Sudan is a nation of beautiful culture, strong women, intellectual and influential Islamic scholars, poets, and youth at the front lines of the revolution. we are a people committed to a region of peace for ourselves and the rest of the Ummah.

my family and the rest of Sudan’s innocent civilians are at the most risk, with many currently without drinking water, food to eat, electricity, and complete blockage to any mosques during the final nights of Ramadan, our holiest month of the year.

i ask that you please keep Sudan and our people in your prayers — donate to the Sudan Red Crescent or a mutual aid GoFund Me, email your representatives if you live in a country that can put pressure on either competing force of power, discuss this with your family and friends, and please do not forget to think about SWANA people — our brothers and sisters in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and many others need our love and support.

my brother writing a paper for his religious studies class and honestly he is over-complicating so much

#like..... he wanted to write about violence and decolonization through the lens of sikhi and i was like that's gonna be hard for u #and i noticed he could do an easier topic like... significant sites in a religion that isn't your own #and i was like okay why don't u write about Mecca and the importance of the various holy sites there in Islam #and now he's out here wailing about finding peer reviewed articles about it #and im like bro i bet u it would've been harder for you to find peer reviewed articles surrounding Sikhi and decolonization and violence #like HE NEEDS MIN 3... WHY IS HE SHITTING HIMSELF OVER HIS FIRST BODY PARAGRAPHS NOT HAVING ONE... JUST FIND 3 OTHERS FOR LATER TOPICS
