Dear international comrades, as a Muslim woman from a Muslim-majority country, I just want to say this, and I hope this can be normalised in your circles of internet and IRL friends.

Instead of offering people a fresh perspective on how to tackle this anti-Muslim propaganda, many comrades in Muslim-minority countries come back with the same thing over and over again, like, "Look at what the major media outlets say about Muslims. Be careful, they want us to hate Muslims, they want people to see Muslims as violent, as the enemy." It starts to sound like you’re expecting "Muslims are peaceful" responses or some kind of comparison between Muslims and non-Muslims, as if Muslims can’t be anything but peaceful, as if we’re not capable of retaliation, as if we’re not part of the working class, as if Muslims can’t be politically class-conscious people.

Muslims have dignity and agency. Just like all of you. Muslims understand patience; not many Muslims understand that patience (sabr) isn’t an excuse to be complicit in injustice. Fighting oppression is a command in Islam. Are you expecting non-violent resistance in the face of centuries of political and structural violence embedded in global power structures?

"Muslim" is a religious identity. It does not necessarily describe a person’s politics or morality. What matters is what a Muslim does. What’s going to happen when you see Muslims align with the state, corporations, the status quo? There are a lot of Muslims like that even in Muslim-minority countries; you just haven’t known them yet.

Start seeing “Muslim” as a political subject, not an object that can’t do sh¡t or can’t be wrong.

Start defining who "they" are. Start naming the enemy.
Start asking why your Western imperial overlords want you to see Muslims as violent. Start asking yourself whom you mean by "people" when you say, "They want people to hate Muslims," whether those "people" include Muslims, and why, in your attempts to stand in solidarity with Muslims, you’re still othering Muslims.

Start asking whether Muslims being violent is what your Western imperial overlords actually want, whether it’s finally time, or whether you’ll have the stomach for that.

Start asking why Muslims are conditioned and expected to counter the propaganda with "No, Muslims are harmless and peaceful" until it becomes a mantra that functions to ensure that Muslims do not retaliate, develop class consciousness, or start organising and building anti-colonial and working-class coalitions again in many countries. Not just in Muslim-minority countries. It’s a fkn problem everywhere. All the while, most of the time, structural violence needs violent intervention.

I said "again" because look at what happened the last time in Indonesia, Algeria, Egypt, and many other places before they finally achieved independence. Look at what is happening with the Palestinian Joint Operations Room. Hamas isn’t the only armed faction in Gaza, jsyk.

If your solidarity with Muslims depends on us remaining passive, peaceful, politically innocent, unthinking objects, then for whom are you performing that solidarity? Who benefits from your performance of solidarity with Muslims?
