  1. "Stop patronising hijabi Muslim women by telling them to consider how other Muslim women may find hijab oppressive, as if we have not already done so.

    We know how religion is weaponised in places where Muslims are the majority. We also know how your governments weaponise anti-Muslim rhetoric globally, and we understand where Islam stands in the global order.

    Who are you trying to fool here?

    Treating Muslim subjects as if we are insulated from that order and reminding us that “contradictions exist” is a projection of the privilege enjoyed by those who benefit from that system."

  2. I don't like how fellow Muslims talk about Islam to Western audiences. It's always defensive. Taking the offensive stance once in a while is necessary. Islam doesn't need defending. It's those who paint it as dangerous that need to explain themselves.

    Read my critique of Western political frameworks. Consider it a mirror for those who claim to be allies in the West and “anti-imperialist.”

  4. Orientalism and the Denial of Muslim Political Agency

    Western political discourse often treats Muslims as politically illegible, interpreting Muslim societies through secular or liberal frameworks. This critique examines how Orientalism embedded in Western political thought denies Muslim political agency and frames Islamic resistance as a threat rather than a response to imperial violence.

  6. I'm talking to some friends about the #BarbieMovie and I think that the main topic isn't #feminism/#sexism but rather the seductive power of #ideologies. It also seems to be an #autosatire of #LiberalFeminism due to its lack of #intersectionality. And the Kens' plot to overthrow the gov through a rigged referendum and then failing to show up kinda reminds me of all the times the #altright lost only because they were dumb.

    BTW, that joke "I have no job here does that make me a woman?" came so close to greatness. Had they phrased it as "I have no job here does that make me an
    honorary woman?", it would've been fucking amazing as there is the concept of "honorary male" within feminism. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorary_male)
