minus-squarekwomp2@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoBecause historic context matters. (Get ready for some real life ambiguity) Imagine a ban on hijabs in a arabic country VS one in say, US or germany. I agree religion should generally be discarded. In that sense anti Islam acts can be progressive. Global power structures (post-colonialism, empirialism) are reproduced using islamophobia. In that sense anti islam acts (or jokes) can be oppressive.
