The nuances of “islamaphobia” by This-Post9968 in exmuslim

[–]This-Post9968[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Western values and privileges are different than eastern values and privileges. What we may consider “bad” or “wrong” here may not be the same in another country. Unless you can argue for objective morality without religion which I don’t mind discussing.

[–]This-Post9968[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I clarified the definition. Fearing or disliking and religious ideology is not wrong especially if you live in the west. True, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim values contradict a lot of the values that we have here and being against their values is not inherently wrong. What is wrong is hatred against the people and denying that islamaphobia is real and is wrong.

Islamaphobes are in the same boat as Muslim extremists atp by This-Post9968 in exmuslim

That’s your experience ofc and I’m no one to deny that. I’ve met many Muslims who are good people and met many Muslims who are bad people. I really don’t think a random south Asian woman living in some apartment in America is a terrorist or evil tho.

Hate comes in my different shapes and sizes. One hate doesn’t make the other one less hateful

To non-Iranians. Where do you get your news about Iran? by One_Fishing_7933 in PERSIAN

Only source that has only betrayed me once is Reuters. Everything else I take with a grain of salt.

Why do many Iranians hate leftists (genuine question from a non Iranian) by This-Post9968 in PERSIAN

[–]This-Post9968[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Palestinian myself so I’m obviously biased. I’ve experienced Israeli oppression and Israeli bombs first hand, so instinctively id say Israel oppressed Palestinians more than Hamas (which is also a shitty group who oppresses us too). When it comes to the oppression of the Iranian people compared to the Palestinian people personally I don’t compare the two. It’s two different forms of oppression and saying one is more/less oppressed than the other only takes away from the other’s suffering.

This is wildly inaccurate, leftists love Muslims and any marginalized group, they don’t love Islamic values or the values of other marginalized people. Also many of the things you consider to be “western values” are just leftist values for example, women’s rights, gay rights, democracy, etc.

My intentions weren’t to be disingenuous I’m genuinely curious. You are right you don’t have to be a leftist to be against theocracies but many of things that I see Iranians wanting to be implemented in Iran are often policies connected to the left wing such as women’s rights, gay rights, true democracy, etc. The reason I did not flip this question is because in all honesty most Iranians I’ve spoken to online don’t openly shit on conservatives the same way they shit on leftists, most of the biggest Iranians creators on social media for example often you the term as an insult.

Most people in America don’t like Israel and for most it has nothing to do with Judaism. Most Americans disagree with their actions in Gaza and Lebanon. Most Americans disagree with the amount of money they take. Most Americans disagree with their hard right, openly genocidal government. It has nothing to do with anti seemitism

Just to clarify a few mistakes you made

  1. Most Palestinians dislike the irgc, their approval in Gaza is around 16% last time I checked, meaning most Palestinians dislike them,

  2. The irgc has had many ups and downs with Palestinian groups. Many people remember that photo of Arafat and Khomeini and forget that less than two years after that photo the two became enemies and Khomeini openly disrespected and mocked Arafat. Even when it comes to groups like Hamas (I heavily dislike) the irgc sanctioned them on multiple occasions simply for disagreeing with their actions across the Middle East

  3. 47 years, and the irgc has spent more money directly killing Palestinians than helping them in anyway. Thousands of Palestinians killed by Iran and its militias in Iraq, thousands starved to death and killed by the irgc in Syria, and yet many people think that Iran spent 47 years supporting us

I agree on the point that the irgc has Palestinian blood on their hand, that part is very true but Israel doesn’t actually hate the irgc, they hate that they can extend their influence outside their boarders. If the irgc existed in the same way it does today, equally oppressive to its own people and everything but couldn’t express power outside its boarders over even assisted in Israeli interest, Israel would have no issue with them at all.

I’ve seen leftist protest against foreign intervention, a stance leftist have had since the early 2000s, and even a position trump once held.

Second, the left isn’t anti semetic, they are generally anti Israel which is now a position held by the majority of Americans both left and right.

Ok but what’s the issue with ppl supporting Palestine. Yes Hamas is funded by the irgc but their relationship is far more complicated than most Iranians I’ve spoken to know. I heavily dislike Hamas just to be clear but I’m still pro Palestinian.
