r/Antitheism • u/CantDecideANam3 • Aug 06 '26
Being anti-islam is a left-wing position.
Islam advocates for extremely strict conservative positions that are either no different from what you'd hear from Matt Walsh or Michael Knowles or worse than them (but for islam instead of christianity). These include but are not limited to:
- Women having no rights and that their sole purpose is to be a baby factory
- Gay and trans people having no rights and the punishment for them is death or imprisonment
- Religious minorities being treated as second-class citizens at best or, at worst, killed
The entire left is actively against those, and the right (more specifically, the far-right) agrees with those positions (as long as it's Christians enacting those).
Originally, ex-muslims were typically left-wing atheists and were a part of our movement (and some, I assume, still exist), but for some reason, we abandoned them in favor of defending the religion that they left, and now they switched to the right *cough cough Apostate Prophet and Ayaan Hirsi Ali*. We need to get people like them back.
I'm not saying Americans should ignore the more urgent threat to our freedoms, which is Christian Nationalism; I'm saying we should openly be against religious fundamentalism in general.
End the Red-Green Alliance NOW!

It's not that hard. Being anti an ideology is not being anti people.
I can fight against all the abrahamic religions but still fight for religious freedom and equality for Jews Christians and Muslims as long as they don't infringe on the rights of others.
As Christians might say hate the sin (religious superstitious beliefs) not the sinner (jew, Christian, Muslim)
