I'm absolutely shocked and appalled at seeing people supporting Khadim Rizvi on my feed.

If there was ever a clear line between right and wrong, it's here.

He stands for opposition to the rule of law and due process, vigilante lynch mobs murdering people, paralysis of government, anti-democracy terrorism (agree with us or we'll incite your assassination), no minority rights, and campaigning not on development but on pure bigotry

People in Pakistan who support this deserve one of the poorest, least safe, and most dysfunctional societies on earth – and for it to get worse.

People in the west who support this owe their entire existence to the rule of law and minority rights: they should leave the west.

If the Pakistani government had a modicum of state capacity such that it didn't have to fear assassinations and the mobs, it would proscribe Tehreek-e-Labbaik as a terrorist organisation and take appropriate police or even military action if necessary.

This isn't "extreme", this is what any functioning government does when a movement calls for – and carry out – assassinations against members of government who disagree with it.

Let alone the litany of other abhorrent crimes the movement stands for and commits.

If you're feeling yourself outraged at this, I repeat:

If you're in Pakistan, you deserve what you have or worse.

If you're in the west, you don't deserve the benefits of what you have here and should go. (You're also possibly a threat to your country.)

I haven't even touched on the worst aspect of the movement.

It distorts and defames the dīn of Islam and the honour of the Prophet ﷺ.

Sympathisers of Rizvi at best excuse, at worst outright identify, lawless violence and bigotry with Islam and the Prophet ﷺ.

Astaghfurilah.

They decry the dysfunction and underdevelopment of Pakistan whilst supporting the very factors which make it so

They use the order, freedom and tolerance of the west to rant against these very things

They lament opposition to Islam whilst vindicating the most rabid Islamophobes
