Don’t get me wrong, lots of times religions have been used as a weapon, like in Indonesia as you said but we could really talk about so many.
But to use that and say all types of Islam are equally reactionary and to blanket criticize religion generally is just xenophobic chauvanism. People in the Lemmy version of this thread are saying pretty heinous things and theres still a lot of questionable posts in this lemmygrad one too.
The development of Resistance Islam as part of Khomeinist revolution in Islamic politics and thought is objectively good for all people on earth, Muslims and not Muslims. One cannot be Pro-Palestine and think such things about religious people and faiths generally. Thats my only point here.
No problem and thank you for the conversation.

And to drive the point really home: the genocidal Israel is a secular project.
