As a muslim, I would like to say that criticism of religion is the only true way to find truth... unless you question you cannot find answers. Personally, I have had many thoughts doubting my religion, doubting my faith and then I read the Quran, listen to sermons and soothe my heart. Hazrat Ibrahim, questioned god, the existence of god, and then found him. Criticising religion is not hate of a religion. Lots of love to my brothers and sisters, and to the people of the book ❤. May you faith persevere!

Islamophobia (or any other kind of bigotry) is almost always used as a tool to dehumanise a certain people (the unruly) in the eyes of the public to justify their oppression (imperialism, colonialism, genocide etc) this was used by Europeans in their "civilising mission" when colonising the Americas, native Americans were considered uncivilised and barbaric and thus any atrocity against them is deserved, and later in India Africa and Australia. The same mechanism was used in nazi Germany and is used today to justify imperialism and interventionism in Muslim countries but rather than the civilising mission, it's the "spreading freedom and democracy" mission

This triggered me. I was bullied so hard after 11/3 in Spain. I was so young and even my parents were going to take the same train that exploded. It never went away I got bullied for yeaaars by teachers and students. Thankfully I moved to my country of origin. Even I was born in Spain still was treated as an outsider and my parents worked hard legally for years and still nothing. My mom while pregnant with me her boss throw a hot casserole at her, but she dodged it while screaming racist stuff at her even before all the terrorist attacks took place.

@adrianseanheidmann4559 11 месяцев назад

Yup Spaniards truly don't like Muslims. I'm definitely highly biased against middle-easterners by and large. Wasn't that funny to go to a school with a bunch of bullying, aggressive teenagers wh thought they had to "Own" everyone that looked German. It goes both ways really, but obviously the once at the longer end of the stick are usually the Europeans. Still, shall I be honest? I don't think that immigrants that come from muslim dominated countries are our biggest threat, I'm not blind to the all the other, bigger issues. Still, do I prefer "Chrisitan" immigrants over muslim immigrants? Absolutely.

@lucofparis4819 10 месяцев назад

Shitty human beings are gonna be shitty, no matter their country, religion, political views, or habits. Normal people only become bigots when they blindly follow bigots, without question or repulsion. This usually happens when a specific group is demonized on the one hand, and when groupthink is promoted and widely accepted on the other hand. It socks hard to be on the receiving end of bigots. I hope you won't have to find out how ubiquitous they are by becoming a group member of your current country's bigots' favorite scapegoat. Stay strong and see past bigotry, not everyone is a dickhead. In fact I'd argue most people are just normies susceptible to be influenced, but not necessarily so.

@aminossemementomori2878 6 месяцев назад

As a man who grew up in a Muslim country, within an atheist family, and being an atheist myself, this video highlights many issues that Muslims face, in my opinion. First of all, why do we call it Islamophobia, and refer to prejudice against Jews as "antisemitism"? Isn't Arabic a Semitic language, like Hebrew and Aramaic? Although I am not a religious person, by education and then by choice, I still have a lot of respect for Muslim people and admire many of their strong ethical principles, which can be enviable when we observe them.

@YLivay 6 месяцев назад

Hello! Israeli here. Just want to answer your question about why prejudice against specifically jews and not muslims is referred to as "antisemitism". This is simply because historically this is the term that was used to describe prejudice against jews specifically. If you asked someone today "what would you call someone who is prejudiced against jews?" they would answer "antisemitic". If you started using the term to describe prejudice against muslims all it would do is confuse people as to who you are referring to. It will make discussion on the topic very difficult both when looking at past texts that used the word differently than what people nowadays know it for. It'll also make it difficult in the present as there would no longer be a clear way to define a prejudice against jews, which IS necessary (jews are the victims of over 60% of hate crimes and have been historically the most persecuted group - yes, even more than their muslim cousins). I think one of the things we're seeing in recent months is an attempt to make English.. just.. harder.. People are literally waging war on English itself in order to limit free speech and this has to be stopped. If we are no longer able to understand each other due to conflated terminology we will never be able to reconcile.. I can give a bunch of specific examples of conflated terminology and other forms of dual meaning if you'd like, but I feel this comment is already long enough as it is @_@

@aminossemementomori2878 6 месяцев назад

The same word was used against '' Aramaic '' speaking people and arabic too. As a Moroccan with jew ancestry, I believe antisemitism should be used for both. I am not saying, antisemitism doesn't exist, or jews weren't persecuted. Just that using the word phobia for muslim people isn't right. @@YLivay

I despise those who hate on others, specially if the others are a minority, but what do I do when the people committing hate crimes on me ARE the minorities? I’m a lesbian girl who was subjected to death threats from my muslim classmates (and Christians), I can’t help but see the two religions as dangerous to my safety. When I try to explain this problem to others, they label me as Islamophobic for “criticizing” and “not supporting” their beliefs. How can I respect someone who wants me DEAD? How can I feel safe around someone knowing that they follow a belief that allows them to humiliate and hate people?

@yunus1947 Год назад

Your just expected to shut up and deal with it I'm ex muslim but I'm unable to even discuss the trauma I've experienced because muslims cannot accept that their religion lead to my and others suffering This is what kind of annoys me about leftisists and philosophers, it's easy to explain why being racists to Muslims, a minority, is bad, that's easy and I agree with it But say what if an ex muslim or a lesbian don't make friends with Muslims and keep their distance because of their religion, is that bad? I'd personally say no, even though they are undoubtedly good Muslims, some of my best friends but then again the Quran literally demands for me and you to be stoned to death. This video is not really all that great as it skips over a lot of the discourse, like womens rights under Islam. It's horrible. So people just ignore it to make the discourse easier.

I love the ongoing use of a chess board in your video thumbnail and in the background. Chess is a game that was brought to Europe and the West mostly *through Muslim-Christian diplomatic relationships* Over a 1000 years ago, in the Medieval Age, it was a virtue of peace & conversation. In times of peace Knights, Mullahs, Kings, they were expected to learn chess, and it was a game frequently played by both sides against each other. Chess is a sport; about surpassing an opponent by wit and intelligence, not by violent means/physical power.

Whenever the arsonists sister or the arsonist is in one of the videos I have to think about that book we had to read in school where the plot went somewhat like this: there are fires being laid all over the land, always at night, always by two strangers asking for shelter in the night. And then two strangers appear at the door of this couple and ask for shelter. The husband is suspicious but not to the point to turn them away, the wife seems not to be suspicious at all. And the two starngers are very charismatic and make jokes about them being the arsonists. Then as the evening goes on, they ask for matches. The couple gives them to them. Then they ask for petrol. The couple gives it to them. Then they ask if they can sleep under the roof, where the wooden structure of the house is bare. The couple allows it. Everything they ask for something the husband is suspicious and the wife says something like "if they really were the arsonists, would you really think they'd ask so openly?" And then the husband goes "well you're right on that". All the while the strangers make constant jokes about how silly it would be if they were the arsonists. And predictable enough, they are and the house burns down. But untill the house litterally lit up in flames, the couple held to the notion that the arsonists were their friends and not actually the arsonists. The book is called (Biedermann und die Brandstifter) And now I always have to think about the book with the context that Abigail has given arsonists and and laying fires and all that.

As a Muslim woman, I can attest that patriarchy is a problem in many Muslim communities. But Islamophobes like to pretend that patriarchy is something unique to Muslims or something that Muslims invented, when that's simply not true. Patriarchy is almost universal across cultures and religions -- that doesn't justify or excuse patriarchy, but it puts things into perspective. And within Islam there's a wide variety of opinions and doctrines, some that are favorable to patriarchy and some that are very anti-patriarchy. I think that part of what distinguishes Islamophobia from genuine critiques of Islam is that Islamophobes believe that Islam (and by extension Muslims) is this monolithic Bad Thing that is fundamentally opposed to everything that "The West" holds dear. Whereas good faith critics of Islam actually engage with the religious texts and recognize the existence of different perspectives.

Indeed. I think Islam is extremely interesting to study and Islamophobes often like to act like it's some sort of vague "bad thing" with the label "Islam" neatly stuck on the lid to a big box where all of Islam is magically stored. I learned really nice things about the religion in studying, but also a lot of things worth of criticism. Many people practice the religion in many different ways and many countries have different cultures surrounding it. I'm irreligious as of right now, but I sincerely really hate the somewhat patronising trend of fellow secular people where they feel the need to convince every single religious person that they've been powerless victims all this time. That's no way to engage with anybody.

@@Aber_Sbeel how many Levantine, Egyptian/Coptic, Assyrian, Armenian Christians, as well as Yazidis, Mandeans, Bahais, etc left in the Middle East?? What's objective as ever is knowing that the numbers dropped from over 30% to less than 8% over the span of 100 years, and those drops happened slowly over the centuries because caliphates treated non-Muslims (ahlul kitab/ahlus dhimma) like literal second class citizens causing intense persecution over the centuries. In the 20th-21st century, islamists, enabled by the English, French, and other colonial powers, committed pogroms, g--nocide, explosions of civilian areas, as well as countless other crimes against humanity from the late 1800s until today. Would you like a comprehensive list of the m-ssacres and other crimes committed against native/indigenous MENAs by local fundamentalists since this time period? I'd love to indulge you on this, as it would be especially humiliating. You know who are not victims or minorities and never will be?? Islamists and their enablers. You aren't victims in the West, and half the time in the East are your own fundies harming your own (Muslim) communities, the other half is colonialism/wars. Denial of this persecution is tantamount to a denial of history, and what you're not going to do is historically revise the persecution committed by vicious ideologues on the auspices that "other countries are crude as well." Your whataboutism failed to establish any new information and disprove the information listed here. Btw, zionists and islamists are the same. :) Both advocate for political/legal religion, militarism, and defining a state religion. Both have resulted in persecution, and both are raggedy as hell.

A quote from a video called "can Trump supporters and immigrants find a common ground" by jubilee: "Muslims often not only they have to defend their religion but their humanity" and it hit me like a train because in my teenage years I had the mentality of "don't hate me, I'm from the good ones not like those baddies you hear about". Also take the fact that I'm gay with a grain of salt because our response to hate shouldn't be to disassociate ourselves from a targeted group "A- Muslims are terrorists and cockroaches. B- I'm not Muslim" but to call out the bigotry and racism.

The problem with the word "Islamophobia" is, even when you are criticizing oppressive, misogynistic ideas, you still get lumped into with people who criticize Islam with racist or religious intentions, and will be attacked by privileged, self-righteous Westerners for being "racist", while I personally am not Muslim or from an Islamic country, with me being an apatheist Taiwanese from a Tibetan Buddhist family, I have many friends who are former Muslim or from Islamic nation, just recently an ex-Muslim Saudi friend of mine who escaped from a fundamentalist family was labeled as racist and was basically fired from her job for speaking against Iran on Facebook, even when she had the history of her aunt was stoned to death in front of her when she was 8, and she herself was physically assaulted and almost killed by her brother for being gay. Western progressive Muslims being willfully ignorant and keep defending oppressive fundamentalist Muslims of their actions, all the while racist pricks hijack the plight of those who suffered under the religious opression is the reason why the word "Islamophobia" becomes as problematic as those people the word is targets against.

yes, criticism of Islam often comes from racists and is often rooted in xenophobia, but criticizing the ideas of Islam is not inherently racist. Any idea should be subject to criticism.

People being gay (even if the idea is uncomfortable/weird) is perfectly natural in nature and have been observed in 97% of different animal species. It has been studied and it is not a taught behaviour. The reason there is more gay people now is the same as why there is more left handed people now... when society stopped vilifying people more of them feel comfortable enough to not be anonymous.

The part where you talk about what is and isn't allowed to be said following something like 9/11 reminds me of something that happened here in the Netherlands. After 9/11 we had, like I assume most countries, a lot of well known people on television talking about their reactions and fears following the attack. They would say things along the lines of them 'being afraid of religious extremist' and how we 'should protect ourselves'. These people weren't really experts on the topic though. We guy however, Maarten van Rossem who is a well known, but not always very popular, historian. He was one of the only person on Dutch television who critiqued the idea that we should be scared and fearful of a new world war or a series of attacks in the west. He posed a more calm and nuanced view on the whole situation and as a result was not allowed back on television for months. He still says that being kicked of television is something he is proud of though hahaha

@Roniixx the war on drugs was a very direct and targeted attack to get rid of black people by altering the laws to make certain kinds of drugs more punishable than others(big ones being the wide difference between powdered cocaine which was used primarily by whites and crack cocaine which was used by non-whites as well as associating heroin and pot with black people specifically and indiscriminately to justify the stereotype of black persons being inherently prone to drug-taking and law-breaking). both nixon and reagan did it and with aplomb. nixon even admitted it on tape and reagan's head advisor admitted the same agenda was at play the war on terror is the same. it is putting notions of fear in the public so they don't see that the real purpose is to ease in racist rhetoric and law without it looking like it is based entirely on xenophobia. it is the legal equivalent of keeping the pea in your hand while telling people to mind the movement of the cups

Yeah, western countries would stop them right away. If the roles were reversed, and Hamas had the power of Israel, while the Israelis had little power in the Gaza strip, you can expect there to be a lot more dead Israelis. This is something Sam Harris talks about. Imagine the Israelis were utilizing its population as a human shield. Imagine they were utilizing hospitals for military purposes. Imagine they were telling their civilians to not leave the north. In what world do you think Hamas would be deterred by such conditions? As Sam says, this would be a goofy Monty Python sketch where all the Jews die. The western countries would recognize the impending genocide, and step in. Hamas wouldn't be trying to avoid civilian casualties, but would explicitly be targeting them. If Israel is doing that right now, they're doing a shitty job of it, and that's why the west hasn't stepped in. That's the crucial difference. Instead, the Israelis are in power. I'm not saying what they're doing is okay. But I am saying that they are deterred by the tactics that Hamas is using. The fact that Hamas is utilizing hospitals as they are and telling civilians not to leave is clearly a result of their expectation that it would deter the Israelis from bombing certain locations. Hamas knows the Israelis have a particular moral compass that they can exploit. Their actions make that clear. Say what you want about how either of them are going about doing what they're doing, their mindsets are clearly not morally equivalent.
