Today something happened on one of my posts, and I’m sorry that I deleted it… but I don’t like this kind of argument between friends.

Anyway, I was also disturbed by one thing. I left everything and didn’t really care about what I read, but one thing upset me deeply and made me sad.

Is the West still the same?

“What kind of Muslim are you?”

Well, read this…

What really caught my attention today was not just the attack on this person, but the speed with which religious identity is immediately invoked.. and yeah, that is exactly what happened.

As if it were a ready made explanation!!!

To understand behavior before even understanding the behavior itself!!!

Do you understand me?

This tendency to “religionize” an act or immediately link it to Islam reveals something deeper than simple individual criticism; it reveals a way of thinking that reduces a human being to their affiliation instead of seeing them as an independent individual.

Now I am certain, and I can say that in moments of conflict, humans tend to search for a “fixed essence” to explain the world, because complexity is exhausting. Instead of analyzing circumstances, causes, backgrounds, and personal motivations, it becomes easier to highlight a major label (((religion))) as if it were a universal key to explanation, and also the easiest one.

But this reduction is precisely what produces epistemic injustice: turning the individual into “something” (for example, their religion), and turning that “something” into a preconceived judgment!!!

Bullshit.!!!

I don’t know why we still use identity and religion as tools to interpret anger or justify positions, instead of understanding the other as a human being.

The problem is not Islam as an idea, but the mechanism of thinking that looks for an identity to attach tensions onto, instead of facing the human being as human.

Tragic…

And every time we try to build humanity, it is destroyed again.

“What kind of Muslim are you?”!!!!!

leave it, my friend.

Just leave it.

Please leave it.
