The idea that the Palestinian people have only been able to persist because of their religion is ridiculous to me. They are resisting because colonialism, apartheid and genocide are very bad things to which nobody would want to be subjected, not because of Islam. If Palestinians were atheists, is he suggesting that they wouldn't have the strength or the will to resist? Would their lack of a belief in the supernatural turn them into doormats for Isn'treal?
I like Hakim's content, but his position on religion is quite frustrating. He is a Muslim first and a Marxist second. Also, Joram van Klaveren is still a right-winger.
You know you can take this up with him directly, right? If you know his content well enough to first say that you like it, and second claim with confidence that he's a "Muslim first and a Marxist second," you must have heard more than once that his DMs are open.
Why here? He doesn't even participate here. The [email protected] community even states in its description that this place is for directly challenging one another, and yet this post is challenging a specific individual who isn't present.
What purpose is served by posting this criticism here, that isn't better served by posting it directly to the accused?
OPs account is 8 months old and up until this post they had only 3 other posts and virtually no comments. For 8 months. Now all of a sudden 95% of their activity is to start a pretty controversial struggle session in two instances. I am always suspect of accounts like this an those that jump on board almost instantly.
What are you implying here? I barely had any posts because I don't come on here very often and when I do, I mostly lurk. I merely wanted people's opinions and I posted on the appropriate instance. What's the problem?
