Remember the last time the shooter was white, and people were like "that's weird, why were all the victims at this mosque shooting men?" and it turned out mosques have a special loving segregated floor for the loving women lmao

When I was taking a world religions course in college the professor offered extra credit if we went to go tour the local mosque and write about our experience. Any women who tried were made to stand in a corner while the men they were with went on a tour and they had to wait until they were done or wait outside.

This is a thing that started getting really popular in the 80's when the Saudis started pouring money into Sunni mosques around the world. Pretty hosed up IMO.

I know my av confuses things sometimes but I *am* a liberal just fyi. And it's not that I think american conservatism is more supportive in a genuine sense, but they do kind of end up being the supportive party from the perspective of muslim reformers. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is relegated to fox news for some mind boggling reason. Liberals have seemingly left her out in the cold, meanwhile bernie is tweeting about "standing with linda", who has publically smeared virtually every reform muslim with any influence in western media, while singing the praises of sharia law no less. Both sides are confused on Islam and the reason I'm hard on the left is because they're the ones actively supporting the worst elements of it (usually, probably always, unwittingly). The left has no balls to speak honestly about it, so it creates a vacuum for genuine anti-muslim biggots like pam gellar to swoop in and kick the fear mongering into full gear.
yeah i agree and think that liberal orgs like the SPLC including reformers like ayaan hirsi ali and maajid nawaz on the list of "anti-muslim extremists" is ridiculous. and the result is that it does what you say it does.

i disagree with nawaz though, because i think a society can only be truly liberal if it allows individuals to express their own illiberalism (as long as it's legal). and if we must tolerate illiberal versions of political expressions (say with self-described communists or fascists) then we should also tolerate religious versions. so sam harris saying that a liberal society should force people to be liberal / secular -- that often doesn't work out very well.

100 years ago they would have been communists or labor activists but unfortunately communism and indeed any sort of communal action has been so throougly attacked and killed in absentia in the American psyche that it's almost impossible for these people to find an ideology and organize to express their outrage constructively. because that's all hippie poo poo and the powers that be who control the media have worked hard to make sure the popular movements of the 60s and 70s won't happen again.

200 years ago they would have been John Brown

or they might have been Howard Unruh or Andrew Kehoe

I'm not discounting the narrative you're advancing, but you probably should consider whether much of the perceived difference is simply due to population size and media effects

there are also probably other social changes to consider as well- i.e. the average level of social violence many people would experience and socially accept in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is very out of line with modern expectations

Celebrating my birthday in Manchester as news of the Manchester Arena bomb broke. The anger is monumental.
For what reason will this ever stop?
Theresa May says such attacks "will not break us", but her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues. Also, "will not break us" means that the tragedy will not break her, or her policies on immigration. The young people of Manchester are already broken - thanks all the same, Theresa. Sadiq Khan says "London is united with Manchester", but he does not condemn Islamic State - who have claimed responsibility for the bomb. The Queen receives absurd praise for her 'strong words' against the attack, yet she does not cancel today's garden party at Buckingham Palace - for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press. Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an "extremist". An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?
In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we all say in private. Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims. How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire. The people have no such protections.

Nawaz is a pretty big free speech guy, though - I can even recall him defending that nut Anjem Choudary on a legal basis. He's very much about "intellectually destroy Islamism (which is separate from "Islam")" as a thing - take it or leave it - but I haven't really heard him say to shut down wacky Islamist groups in Britain and stuff.

I've read some of Shadi Hamid's responses to Nawaz's framework, which is in line with what you seem to be saying fwiw, it's an interesting argument - though I'm very much on the outside of it. The term "Islamism" itself seems to have gotten much more of a foothold in the dialogue in the past few years, which seems good.

ayaan hirsi ali is obnoxious and says crazy poo poo all the time. i don't think any muslims listen to her despite her promotional image as some leading figure. but casting her out so she only appears on The Blaze or wherever isn't going to help. she's just going to find a ready audience of people who will never challenge her.
