it’s so isolating being an ex muslim, i left islam for my liberal values and trauma only for a lot of people on the left to coddle islam and defend it from any criticism while ex muslims are still being killed, tortured, honour killed by their own family, it was very disheartening to see that the side that says that they are “here” for the people who are suffering to constantly demonize ex muslims and their trauma and suffering and actively create a hostile environment against them and then they wonder why some ex muslims turn to the right, cause they listen to them even though they may know that they are probably nothing but a token they still will be there cause they think that the right hears their criticisms and suffering.

I can understand that a lot of fellow leftists don’t want muslim folks to get attacked for simply having their faith or wearing hijab, but apparently for most of them, it ended up being translated to “we’re not allowed to criticize islam as a religion.”

I wish we can separate attacks with criticism because the latter is very necessary. I can absolutely talk about how islam, like other abrahamic religions, can teach some very harmful things and become a tool for the justification of violence, without attacking people who happen to only hold some parts of the faith that doesn’t include the bigotry. (Or without attacking people in general)
