Twitter is Islamophobic? No.

I stand w/ Twitter here. Good job @vijaya. You turned a corner showing through bold leadership that criticism of homophobia & perverse law cannot be defended by a false claim of Islamophobia. If such a thing existed, Muslims would be ‘islamophobes.’

Let’s from this point on make it clear that @Twitter will stand with LGBTQ against the forces of deadly bigotry (including anti Muslim) w/o *any* religious exemption (this holds for any Jewish, Christian & Hindu inspired bigotry as well). This is an important milestone.

At last we can talk freely without fear of being thrown off the platform for nonsensical claims!

[note in the first tweet, the word ‘defended’ is unclear and should have likely been ‘attacked’. The point is that many of us, both Muslim & non Muslim alike, used to get called ‘Islamophobes’ for defending LGBTQ rights in the face of abject brutality rationalized under Sharia.]
