    “Pakistani Islamists” is just wild…

    Like, all the Muslims in India were forced into Pakistan, or killed.

    It seems completely unnecessary to need to state the religion of a large group of Pakistani demonstrates, but why the fuck use an emotionally loaded word like “Islamist” to do it?

    These people were demonstrating against the bullshit deal Palestine was forced to accept, when everyone know Israel will immediately violate it.

        I legitimately don’t know, but if you read the article, this wasn’t their plan or their protests.

        They’re just reporting how many of their members have been infused by police for protesting, and how many have been killed.

        Like, if I go to a BLM protest, there’s gonna be some assholes I don’t agree with there too.

        Putting different groups against each other to derail a protest isn’t anything new. Neither is acting like a giant protest is only worth as much as the worst people to support the cause.

        I understand why the AP is doing it. And I understand why you’re doing it.

        Do you really believe all of the protestors was part of that party? Muslims pray in mosques without being islamists. During the Arab spring which was not a religious movement in Tunisia we started the protests after the prayers because it is the easiest way to gather without being dispersed fast

          Where did I say that any Muslim praying in a mosque is an Islamist? Why are you even bringing this up?

          Is TLP Islamist or no? Are TLP not the organizers of this march?

              Nowhere in the article does it claim that any Muslim praying at a mosque is an Islamist (show me the specific quote that suggests otherwise).

              The article uses the term Islamist in a factual manner.

              There are crazies and extremists in the every religion.

                Don’t you know how to read behind the lines?

                Using the word worshipers insread of peotestors. Using formulation that make it look like that islamist group was the only people who protested, mentionning that the protests happened after the “cease fire” which israel isn’t respecting , why there is no testimonies from a protestor etc
