I’m saying the religion of Islam has a lot of problems that need to be addressed-not just theocracy/political Islam or ‘Islamism’ Some Muslims agree that theocracy, caliphates, Islamists etc are problematic...so they say those ppl are ‘not real Muslims’ and distance themselves 1https://twitter.com/WSA786/status/1155217564290748423 …

This creates a false separation. They’re all Muslims. They all follow Islam. Of course it’s a fluid spectrum, Muslims can practice Islam differently, but it’s all Islam. I’m happy to see Muslims condemn terrorism etc, but they need to also condemn other problematic aspects. 2

Condemning ‘Islamism’ or a caliphate is a (very low bar) start. Now, let’s condemn dangerous aspects of Islam that have nothing to do w theocracy/politics/Islamism like child marriages, misogyny, homophobia, antisemitism etc 3

Also not all Muslims are Arabs and now all Muslim women wear tribal era clothing ;) - great thread, Yasmine, as always!

Sure, I agree. Some of the countries in this list doesn't have compulsory hijab laws, right? Though the population still pressure the women.
