I mean, fair enough. I’ll admit I’m biased against Islam because of my experiences and upbringing but there is some weird exception progressives seem to have for Muslims
Maybe in the states but in Canada and Europe its been prevalent for the last 10 years at least. Us Arabs are now the minority flavor of the week for white sympathy, and young people who don’t know any better think they should suddenly tolerate our intolerance because we’re disenfranchised. And that sucks because 10 years down the line some radical fuck is gonna do some extremist bullshit in “little Mogadishu” and anti-arab sentiment will become popular again, rinse and repeat

Muslims shouldn’t be targeted because they are Muslims.
And
Religion doesn’t have its place in a progressive society.
There are 2 distinct issues, but they are almost always conflated, because it makes it easy to derail the discussions and debates.
It wasn’t near as loud among them until the Free Palestine movement. It was there, but FP put it more at the forefront in online circles.
