Let me guess you’re from Iran? Sounds like every Iranian I’ve ever met. Your problem isn’t Islam or any other religion, your problem is being oppressed by a facist dictatorship that uses a religion to legitimize themselves. If they had labeled themselves as Zoroastrians then you’d live under pretty much the same fucked up regime, but you’d blame it all on Zoroastrians instead of a bunch of dicks who fucked over your country for their own benefit.
Cool then replace Zoroastrians with Kemalists and also replace Iranian with expat in the West from Istanbul and we’re all set except that Kemalists were in power before and weren’t any less fascist than Islamists.
Kemalism is not efficient as Islam when it comes to fascism tho. Religion and nationality are much better tool when it comes to manipulating people.
