The belief that you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you is not at odds with anything you’ve said, and unless u make unfounded assumptions based on this (which you have), then there is absolutely no contradiction here.
If u reject this belief, then ask yourself what the net effect of the alternative leads to, especially in the context of already marginalized immigrant groups. what sort of mentality do you think this will engender? do you think this mentality would be conducive to building cohesive multicultural societies? Critical thinking does not end when you arrive at postcolonial theory. Have you ever integrated your viewpoint (which I actually do NOT disagree with) within an Islamic paradigm? Can you not see that the prophet’s sunnah was one of finding middle-ground? reminding people to reflect on some of the good that was afforded to them again is NOT at odds with what you said
Have you ever integrated your viewpoint (which I actually do NOT disagree with) within an Islamic paradigm?
I haven't practiced Islam in years but the passages I do remember relating to self preservation don't condone pacifism, (what you're seemingly advocating for).
Surah An Nahl Ayat 126
“So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. But if you are patient—it is better for those who are patient.”
The hand that's feeding u is tired,disgruntled & bigoted.Lying on ur belly hoping ur circumstances won't change is wishful thinking.
The big house will always be the big house.
U can play nice being hopeful for crumbs trying ur hardest not to rock the boat,
But at the end of the day u still live in another man's house, subject to his rules,morals,mood swings & authority.
They don't want multiculturalism.
They want to dominate..
How many times must they demonstrate this for u to get the point?
Asians are model citizens & look where that got them socially.Sitting ducks just like the rest of us.Geo-politically, they're in a better position than us because they understand the nature of what they're dealing with.
Not speaking out won't change anything or gain u favor.If anything it makes u a bigger target.
They've been doing what they want uncontested for 5 centuries now. No amount of ass kissing,hushed lips,or let's get along rhetoric is going to change that.
Idealism isn't reality.
Gotta play the cards ur dealt & create ur own.
