The idea that the Palestinian people have only been able to persist because of their religion is ridiculous to me. They are resisting because colonialism, apartheid and genocide are very bad things to which nobody would want to be subjected, not because of Islam. If Palestinians were atheists, is he suggesting that they wouldn't have the strength or the will to resist? Would their lack of a belief in the supernatural turn them into doormats for Isn'treal?
I like Hakim's content, but his position on religion is quite frustrating. He is a Muslim first and a Marxist second. Also, Joram van Klaveren is still a right-winger.
Because that’s the purpose of this sub? The side bar even explicitly mentions that hostility and criticism is accepted. Is Hakim not a leftist? Is this not “Leftist infighting”?
This could be a bot troll, but the post is completely within the limits of what’s allowed here.
