#India pavilion at #Osaka #WorldExpo was a #Hindu-nationalist showcase, adorned with religious symbols, showcasing temples and and scriptures through. Didn't see a single mention of #Islam anywhere nor much of anything from #SouthIndia

Stark contrast to the far superior #Indonesia pavilion next door, which highlighted the country's cultural & natural diversity, not highlighting one religion or ethnic group over others.

"These media anchors should really have to wrestle with their consciences about the fact that they are participating in this. No one is forcing them to have the only question they ask which deals with Israel and Palestine and Gaza, be a question about globalize the intifada … as if all of this death, all of this killing, all of this starvation, it just doesn’t register, it doesn’t matter because the lives of Palestinians are not considered to matter."

As a Muslim, Nesrine Malik writes,

"Mamdani has shown how prejudice is rarely about individuals, but the fear that marginalised minority views could ever become powerful majority ones. In this mayoral race, from Palestine to local policing, anti-Muslim hate is not just a repellent phenomenon confined to Mamdani, it is a barricade against the desires of the voting public. Once people start making that connection, it really is over."

Hey everyone!

I'm a 19-year-old from Bangladesh, part of the Gen Z generation. I’m passionate about privacy, FOSS, and freedom of speech. As a practicing Muslim, I find balance and peace in my faith.

I love programming, mainly in Python and C for now, and I'm an avid reader. Recently, I fell in love with chemistry after reading "The Disappearing Spoon."

I stand firmly against any forms of racism and genocide. As an introvert, I grew up feeling a bit lonely because I didn't find many people like me.

Looking forward to connecting with like-minded folks here!
