Forcing others to do good or bad things is not allowed in any religion. Extremism in #religions today is completely against the conduct of God. It is completely against the spirit of the religion ~ Sufi Master Younus AlGohar #Peace #Spirituality #Sufism #Love #Humanity #knowledge

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Resistance violence is birthed in response to violence from systemic oppression.
Violence from Systems of oppression is integral to systems of oppression.
Systems of oppression do not need an external motivator for violence, they just are violent. They are built entirely through violence.
