As long as the Left doesn't challenge Muslim homophobia, there will be Muslim homophobia. I don't know what Asian community you are from (I am from Japanese) but if your family is Muslim, you've likely got a lot of prejudice to challenge.
This is what has happened to our University students.
And the left's silence on Islam's bigotry is just one example of the way student politics is a maelstrom of nonsense.
Never has the criticism of religion, especially political Islamism, been more important and necessary.
And never have we been more afraid.
The left's Muslim blindspot must be eradicated - let's look at misogyny, homophobia and antisemitism colour-blind. Muslim, or not, I don't care.
But the left does care, and they say it's a myth that some Muslims are homophobic, sexist and antisemitic.
I don't think so, and I'm a liberal that fights racism and all the other isms. That's why I focus disproportionately on Muslims, because Muslims are disproportionately antisemitic, misogynist and homophobic.
You can't argue that a religion that doesn't allow female imams isn't misogynist. While the West is making strides in equality for women, and now feminism has thus moved on to banknotes and statues outside Parliament (two prominent feminist campaigns that have happened in the UK), women are physically genitally mutilated in the Muslim world, forced to cover up by law, married at a young age (legally), have no choice about clothing, have less rights than men in marriage, are treated as properly, maritally raped legally in over ten countries (including Indonesia, home to >80m Muslim women), treated unfairly in court testimonies, not allowed to enter mosques, become imams, are beaten, whipped, lashed, violently attacked, shot for going to school, kept at home, abused, brain-washed, and more.
The statistics are startling.
Christianity does it too, but not as much, due to reform movements.
Same with Judaism (half of Jews are liberal/reform Jews).
"In Islam, men and women are equal. The racists propagate lies about the religion. Women have more rights in Islam than any other religion."
So, those students need to get their act together, and stop throwing bins, screaming and flapping their arms. Oh, and stop changing LBGTQIDSSHIDUFHSDKFBSCGLSDFJBFHSDfJSDH13984328489 every week. That's a bit confusing (sorry!). I'm concerned because Peter Tatchell, human rights campaigner and indiscriminate fighter against homophobia (He has been called Islamaphobic as he often picks on Islam) says, in The Spectator: "'the new alphabet soup is a confusing and alienating mess — made even worse when people get into spats over missing initials or the inclusion of initials they disagree with. The longest I’ve ever seen is LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA. This is absurd. It makes us a laughing stock and devalues serious issues around sexuality and gender.’" And if HE is so concerned, I am concerned too.
They should be against all intolerance, indiscriminately. And should support ex-muslims to speak out against intolerance and Islamism.
