Some Muslim feminist women need to know that they demonize themselves by broadly demonizing Muslim men towards people who are enemies of islam who you take as sisters. The natural conclusion to the general blaming is it coming back to you as to why you even follow such an "evil" religion and engage in such an "evil" society.

They use collective language while referring to the men ("Muslim men" collectively), demonizing them in line with anti Muslim bigotry, and are surprised when they use totalitarian language in demonizing them ("Muslim women" collectively). They suddenly talk about how they need to stay out of your business and how they're oppressing you. And then they say

"Radfems are weird about Muslim women/hijab"; you allowed them to be weird about Islam and Muslim men by affirming their anti-Muslim bigotry. You can't after you talk about people in a collective manner and attack them in the name of justice, and then say to people to not interfere when it comes to you.

The problem is that you don't see that they're enemies of religion and are trying to align with them, taking them on surface value. You like them while they hate Islam and it's adherents. Unfortunately some times you even help attack Islam and it's adherents.

You try to make friends with enemies of Islam and then are surprised when they attack you too. You agree with the enemy's characterization of Islam and then the men and then you're surprised when they turn on you. Are you separate from Islam that you allow them to do this? This is why your voice against anti Muslim bigotry doesn't hold any value because one moment you're reinforcing it and the other moment you're speaking against it. You confirm all of their anti-Muslim caricatures and then are surprised when they then do it to you as well. By confirming their bigotry you are also confirming it against yourself. They attack men because their enemies are Muslim men, Hezbollah, Iran, so they need to help promote bigotry against them to justify their aggression. Confronting anti Muslim bigots, enemies of Islam also means defending men of ummah, and men are being attacked. Don't help them in doing that. Because you'll also be doing it against yourself. You are not separate from the Islamic world, men, women, children, are all part of it. They're enemies of Islam as a whole.

Like opposing generalizing is what we have been doing to confront anti-Muslim bigotry, that regular Muslims aren't responsible for the action of Wahhabis, what then prevents you from extending it back to your own people, why do you do it to your own people. Your own demonization comes with it.

Yes there are vile men but be careful in how you approach it. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said

“Sometimes a person is a victim of oppression and he curses till the time he himself becomes the oppressor.” and Whoever helps wrongdoing against a Muslim isn't a Muslim. Twitter culture promotes hive mentality and piling on.

In Gaza, we are exhausted. Three years of war have drained us mentally and physically.

My name is Osama. I’m a university student in my final year. During this war, my family and I lost our home and everything we had. We also lost many relatives and friends, and since then we have been living without any real stability.

My mother and I went back to our city more than once, trying to recover anything from under the rubble, but without success.

We left our home at night under the bombing without taking anything with us. That’s why today we need almost everything. We have no gas, no refrigerator, no proper kitchen tools, and only very few belongings left.

Life in Gaza has become unbelievably expensive, and we can barely afford basic things like food and water. For the third year, even drinking cold water has become something we miss. Especially with summer coming and the heat getting worse, sometimes we just wish for a cold drink of water.

For three years we have struggled every day just to secure basic needs. There is barely any electricity, cooking gas is extremely expensive, and prices are far beyond what people can afford. One kilogram of cooking gas costs around $35, so my mother often cooks using wood and fire. My father used to work as an electrician, but now he has no work and spends his time trying to get food aid from humanitarian organizations whenever he can.

The hardest part is not only surviving. My younger siblings grew up surrounded by war, fear, and deprivation. Now Eid Al-Adha is coming, and I cannot even provide simple things that once felt normal, like new clothes, sweets, or a good meal.

Despite all the pain, I still try to put a smile on my younger siblings’ faces, and on my mother’s and father’s faces too, even through small things that might make them happy for a little while.

In Gaza, we no longer live thinking about the future. We only try to get through one more day.

That is why I am asking for help. Any donation, even a small one, can help me bring some happiness to my family, even if only for a few days.

And if you cannot donate, sharing our story would still mean a lot to us.

Thank you to everyone who helps or even shares our story .
