How to make people realise organisations like Hamas, Hezbollah and Ansar'Allah are not the same as the Taliban or the Islamic State? (lemmygrad.ml)

People really seem to struggle to realise how different they are. Hamas is not ISIS, that should be obvious to anyone with cursory knowledge on the history of the region. Hamas, Hezbollah and Ansar'Allah are not going to, nor have the capacity to, gut gay people and women who don't wear a niqab or hijab. They are not Salafists, for the love of Christ.

The only reason people compare these wildly different groups, is because they all (at least claim to) adhere to Islamic principles. If you think for even a second, you'd realise how ridiculous this is. It's like comparing the CDU to the KKK or even the Spanish Falange because they're all Christian, in some way or another.

It's plain ridiculous, though the liberal (and conservative) types never seem to get it.

"feminism" is in practice a treat-based ideology.

What does this mean, exactly?

It's this.

The most hollowed out form of liberal feminism. Not even corpo feminism. Not even white corpo feminism. A feminism that is itself as a vehicle for marketing and driving consumption.
