In New Zealand right now (University), no way in hell I’m raising my children in the West. Looking at the Middle East or China to bring up my family (although China is very hard to get residency)

an Islamic State or a Caliphate does not mean every citizen is a Muslim - it just means that the state is governed by Quranic ideals. A basic tenet of Islam is believing the Quran to be perfect so why as a Muslim would I not want to be involved in the running of a country?
Jews and Christian’s were treated much better under the Muslim caliphates than they ever were in Europe - where Spaniards violently expelled Andalusian Muslims after the Reconquista, Caliphate’s housed sizeable religious communities who were treated on equal status as Muslims outside of a small Jizya tax (which would be foregone if the Jizya collector deemed that a tax collection would put unnecessary strain on a minority family, such as a single mother looking after her children or a sick man unable to work and provide).
There is so much more to Caliphate than “Muslims rule everyone else” - it’s living life in accordance to the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW and striving for social justice and unity as emphasised in Qu’ran so many times. What other Abrahamic religion specifically condemns slavery (24:33), makes taking care of the poor a religious obligation which if not performed takes one out the fold of the religion (Zakat).
I’m not opposed to Secularism because I believe Islam is inherently superior, or because I want to rule over minorities, I’m opposed to Secularism because it is the obligation of the Muslim to live by the equality prescribed by the Prophet SAW - to separate the government of a Muslim nation from the teachings of Islam is like cutting a people at their jugular vein. There’s a reason why even the most “progressive” Muslim politicians of our time such as Imran Khan would never dare ask their people to separate themselves wholly form the Qu’ran in the political sphere
I obviously have no issue with working with the vast majority of Socialists who are Secularists, and of course it’s a rather inconsequential issue in the face of Imperialism - improving material conditions is all that matters at this rudimentary stage of multipolarity and liberation
I’m a Muslim Marxist who doesn’t support Secularism in the long term because I would ultimately prefer an Islamic Worker’s State
as a Muslim I often feel very alienated by militant atheists in Socialist circles it’s so strange
are Maoists and Anarchists even distinguishable from each other at this point
just wait till the Falun Gong nutjobs get their band into your city and start playing brass instruments in the town square all day screaming about how Xi Jinping is harvesting their organs
The last guy who talks about how the DPRK has the best human rights in the world is such a chad
“yeah the DPRK is a dictatorship, a dictatorship of the proletariat” 😎
Whilst the third world is under such intense domination I literally do not give a fuck about Americans
