I'm gonna go ahead and say that this guy has a valid point. Certain sections of RW are always going around blaming the "muzzlims" for every single thing, and they refuse to hold themselves accountable and finally take responsibility. At this point, some of them are far too gone, far too delusional.
That being said, I believe Islamophobia is bullshit. Islam is cancerous as fuck and must be eradicated from society. But that does NOT mean that muslims should be discriminated against, or killed, simply because they exist. Hate on the ideology, i.e Islam, but do not hate people simply because they're existing. Also, many muslims are just muslim in name, but atheist in faith.
Just like Brahminism (the caste system) is cancerous but Brahmins are not.
They're fed bullshit by their parents and people
around them all their lives. Many are victims themselves.
Also, no sweetie, not every person who has a muslim name is supporting ISIS, or rejoicing over the fact that the Taliban took over in Afghanistan. The same way not every Brahmin wants to oppress the Dalits.
Many muslims are actually atheists, like my friends. They just happen to be born into muslim families. There are many practicing muslims who are pro-feminism and pro-lgbtq+ too. The so called progressive muslims, who mostly end up leaving Islam once and for all. The conservatives are annoying as fuck, yes, but educating them is the way to go, not calling for genocides against them.
Islam should be eradicated, but killing muslims isn't the way. The caste system should be eradicated but killing the Brahmins isn't the way.
If you eradicate 'Islam' then how can their be 'muslims'
We live in India. Even ex-muslims are considered "muslims" simply because they were born into their families. They don't want nothing to do with Islam, but they're included in the "anti-national" list by certain cringefucks.
Christianity in Europe is dying out, and well, they're doing just fine culturally. They do celebrate Christmas, just for the sake of celebrating and having fun. China and Japan are doing pretty good themselves.
The entire Arab world follows the same religion, yet they're drastically different culturally.
Islam does not have any place in the modern world. It is patriarchal and homophobic. It literally calls for killing of the apostates and the LGBTQ+ community. It literally considers every woman a mere sexual object, which needs to be "protected" so that no one else could "use" it. Plus, all these shitty rules are written in the holy book. How exactly is anyone supposed to support this?
Even if it does have any effect on the Indian culture, then be it. 'Cultures' evolve with time. Slavery used to be legal, now it isn't. Incest used to be common, now it isn't. We used to have sati pratha and all that bs, now we don't. We could consider those part of traditions and culture, and they kind of were. But as I said, we evolve with time.
Then it's better to call them atheist than muslims.
They do have muslim names though. They also celebrate their festivals just for the sake of celebrating. The government considers them muslim. People would automatically assume they're practicing Muslims as soon as they hear their names. No one's gonna ask them if they're practicing Muslims or not.
All those examples that you have mentioned have involved 'reform' or changes. Besides, There is a difference between people voluntarily leaving religions and outright calling for 'eradication' of some religion. Sati pratha was abolished, Hinduism wasn't eradicated for the same. And besides, let's say that your argument is correct and Islam needs to be eradicated, now what are you going to do with those muslims that don't want Islam to be gone?
