Already seeing libs call this a false flag attack. So that stage has been set already if proof comes out that Ukraine was responsible

Okay I don't feel bad anymore

I don't mean to come off like I'm attacking you, I'm just pointing out red flags that make me very skeptical of a source or an author, sorry if it reads as aggressive. I am also learning from everyone's input on this thread and I'm glad you brought this up for discussion.

I can't take someone seriously who advises presidents who have genocided Muslim peoples and talks about "Islamic Extremism" while ignoring the role of western countries and states like Saudi Arabia for creating groups like the Taliban and fostering their power in the region.

Religion has always justified itself as a "civilizing project"; that doesn't mean this is correct. I can't take that argument seriously.

You seem here in good faith so I don't mean this as a personal attack, but that book sounds incredibly racist and light read of her wiki page says she has advised Bush and Obama during their presidencies, which I think says it all really. She is a white woman from Canada who converted to Islam and apparently just scolds Muslims about "extremism." I can't even respond to the claims the book makes because it just reads as Westerner imposing racist tropes on peoples they don't understand, to say nothing of the fact that it is completely devoid of class analysis and seems entirely ideological.

It also would require giving labor a lot more power which is a major contradiction with neoliberalism

Comrade Xi, pls

They don't fall for it, they choose to believe it to maintain their inflated perception of their own superiority above the Orient.

Would love for one of these fucks explain what the "nuance" is exactly

You do realize how much of a patronizing asshole you are right?

It was primarily an Islamophobic movement in the post-Gulf War and 9/11 era.

That's what it seems like to me. It was very much the same "white dude pseudo-intellectuals pretend they know everything about the world but only push reactionary ideology" as the Peterson, Rogan, etc. bullshit.
