Very informative thank you

My comment was removed? I did not express any bigotry that’s unfair

That’s fair ig

Where is it a crime to be Jewish? Genuinely asking

That’s true they aren’t the same

They’re not the same that’s true, but would anti German bigotry matter in the context of nazi Germany?

My example was stupid I agree, I should’ve compared it with another settler colony

I promised to stop sorry <3

That’s fair tho I still don’t think it matters

That doesn’t respond to my question but I’ll stop just for you <3

The logo is so ugly

because their material conditions allows them to lose faith since it’s proletariat also profit from imperialism (tho they are/will be losing it with their current fascist/neo-liberal regimes),

it’s the opium of the people, if there’s no pain to calm, there’s no need for opium

the fact that it turned into that shows that keeping that “moderate islam” is a vulnerability ready to be exploited by the bourgeoisie, most religious ppl would choose religion if they have to choose, and that choice is not imposed by secular revolutions but by religious authority

You’re welcome, tho it’s only based on my observations and my understanding of where I stand, I don’t have actual theory to back it up but I hope I’m making sense 🤓

the point is, i am not talking about islam in practice, in Algiers where i live, most people don’t fully follow the laws, a lot of women don’t wear the hijab, some people drink, some have intimate relationships out of marriage, BUT we all understand and accept that islam (at least suni islam) is one true religion that must be unchanged, tho we compromise or try to excuse, but it’s in vain because it’s written very explicitly that you can’t change or deviate from the text, if you don’t follow the text or you don’t care you’re just an unprincipled muslim (at best),

and not only the practice, but the believes also, if you don’t have faith in god, it’s prophets and messengers, the books, the angels, the day of judgment and the divine decree, you’re not considered to be a muslim, it’s a take it or leave it situation, bending the religion to suite the cultural practices may be a reality, but it’s in direct conflict with what the religion says, and that conflict mostly is resolved by repenting fully and accepting religion and it’s believes as is, and that process is weaponized by the bourgeoisie as a counter-revolutionary tool,

And to the point that it is supposed to be eternally unchanging, that doesn’t sufficiently explain how various denominations and sects emerged throughout history that reinterpreted the doctrine sometimes in quite radically different ways. Or am i wrong?

(currently) most of the muslim population is sunni (like 90% or 80%), the existence of some random cult doesn’t really matter as a contradiction because it’s a really small minority, (tho the shia community is also a major part of the religion but idk about them), we all follow the same version (dictated by Saudi Arabia) no matter the part of the world,

islam through history was struggling for it’s conservation, the fact that it fails or not doesn’t contradicts what it stands for, it’s just an impossible task because everything is in constant movement

what i mean is, keeping faith is a burden, because it will always pull you backward, we can’t reconcile those contradictions so we have to liberate ourselves from them

in my opinion: you can’t be only culturally part of islam,

• the practice of the religion is at it’s core fundamentalist, any deviation from it would make you excluded from the religion (in theory), at best it makes you a bad muslim,

• it is also in it’s core principles conservative, by that i mean it’s goal is to be preserved and never evolve, it’s a structure that aims to never be in movement, contrary to culture which is constantly evolving, because why would god make laws that evolves when he can make perfect divine laws? isn’t he all powerful?

• it’s not a individual believes/faith system but a framework of how a society must work and how those individuals should behave in it, and faith is your engagement and submission to those laws,

• taking example of muslims that are more progressive or that use atheistic methods to explain the world is like the “good landlord” argument, we’re not talking about good or wrong or moderate, religion is a structure that has a function in class society, which (not only) is protecting it,

• as a movement we kinda need ideological purity to achieve our goals down to the philosophical base (i may sound like an ultra but 😛), personally i don’t care about the believes of people in general, i (principally) defend freedom of cult, but you can’t be part of both, you can’t fence-sit because you’d end up excluded from both sides,

i have no theory to back up what i’m saying tho, i’m just trying to echo what i understood, but for me it makes sense, also sorry if i made errors english is not my first language

i’m going through the same process as you do, i’m supposed to be a muslim and i live in a muslim majority country, but i don’t think i’ll be keeping my faith any longer. there’s a lot to say against islam that is valid. what helps me is to try understand the context in which islam came to be, and the context of why laws are the way they are, basically try to look at it through a materialist lens

alpine linux, tho it still won’t run smoothly i’m afraid, and you’d probably want a super minimal window manager like dwm or sxwm
