THREAD #Islamophobia in #Lebanon is a very disturbing issue that needs to be dealt with asap.
Nagging about Hijabi paramedic volunteers at the airport,nagging about commemorating religious events like Ashura,nagging about Muslims who refuse to drink or sit in a drinking assembly,
Nagging about solid Muslim communities sticking together in good and bad because hint THAT IS WHAT ISLAM URGES THEM TO DO, then nagging about women swimming with Burkinis because apparently the water has a rule..be naked or go home🤷🏻‍♀️
Cont.
then nagging about Hijabi women helping out in the emergency relief efforts in "non muslim" areas around the #BeirutBlast and asking them "to go back to Dahye" or worse "Iran".
Getting attacked day in and day out by filthy media like MTV because "you don't look like Lebanon"
(Can someone PLEASE show me how Lebanon "looks" like) then nagging about how an entire population that has suffered for 70 years from occupation and oppression and murder is not willing to normalize with it enemy because its "ideology" won't allow it..is all #Islamophobia
This is all #Islamophobia.
Whether you accept it or not is not the issue. The issue is by condoning these acts you are brewing a clash that will make it impossible for this small piece of land to ever be united.
You have every right to wear whatever you want and drink whatever
Whatever you desire and think and say whatever pleases you, even if you propagate normalization, you have a right to say it. BUT I also have a roght to wear whatever I want and to NOT drink whatever that i want and to refuse normalization and say over my dead body.
This is how Liberties work. Freedom cannot be sliced into pieces that please you or that please me. Educate yourself and stop the hate.
Educate yourself and stop the ignorance.
Educate yourself to stop #Islamophobia in #Lebanon
