Nowhere is this more visible outside Palestine than in India, where 200 million Muslims are being pushed to the edge of extermination by the RSS-BJP regime. Under Narendra Modi, Islamophobia has been weaponised not as fringe hate but as state ideology.

I can’t speak for other parts of the world but I can for the Indian subcontinent.

I’m an atheist, and personally, I try not to judge anyone based on their religion — it generally works well, especially with upper and upper middle class communities. From my experience, upper class Muslims are usually integrated into society and not involved in shady activities.

I also don’t agree with government policies that discriminate against people based on religion like requiring proof of ancestry after Independence because such policies are unjust and target citizens unfairly.

That said, I do have concerns about certain practices in some lower income communities in India. Poverty, limited education and social isolation can make people more vulnerable to radical messaging. Madrasas (which btw are even attended by children younger than teenagers) teach extreme ideas, like framing conversion as a duty or promoting a black and white worldview. In rare cases, this can lead some individuals to embrace jihadist ideology or commit illegal acts in the name of religion. Social media can further amplify these messages. While most Muslims are peaceful, certain forms of radicalisation especially among vulnerable Islamic populations can be more organised and aggressive compared to similar movements in other major religions.

So even the propaganda by our right wing government is exaggerated, it does have some truth to it. It can be solved by eliminating all religious education in pre-teen ages and criminalising parents for forcing that type of education on children.

Joplin for sure. But I personally use Obsidian because of the UI. I sync it with my server using Syncthing. All devices are synced to the server and not with each other so I have one source of Truth.

Even I want to believe that but I am an Indian and know how people think here. Families here think if their daughter/wife/mother/sister have been raped, it would bring disgrace to them if the news spread in the public so they stay silent and hope it would pass. This is especially true for low income families.

According to the girl’s family, Rashid first lured her to his home by offering fruit. He allegedly filmed the assault and threatened to harm her relatives if she told anyone.

The family knew and decided to do nothing about it?

Eating beef (or any meat for that matter) isn’t harmful but “excessive consumption” of “industrially produced meat” is. And you shouldn’t cut out meat from your diet — our bodies need those nutrients.
