    It doesn't necessarily, but going the mosque can be seen as obligatory in Islam. Hadith about it, and quran verses too IIRC.

    Not sure about christianity though, that's why I added "different"

    It was obligatory there too 600 years ago. You dont see islam changing next couple hundred years at all? Already changed so much with all the different sects and what not. Who knows what's the "real" version anymore.

    This is one of the main reason why middle easterners are getting oppressed, they cant get past this in order to get united

    I don't see the main school of thoughts going away no.

    I also think they are all the "real" Islam.

    You got people in all of them that try to act like they are the real one, but the general consensus is that they are all the "real" islam and no one is better than the other.

    I also don't see any of the Kutub al-Sittah or Quran changing, thankfully.

    So I do think as you're saying more and more different interpetations of Islam will keep coming, but none of them will ever become the majority in Islam.

    Ok cool. So you do agree that next muslim generation should be educated in a way that is accepting of the different sects and belief. And agree that this type of mentality that "we are the chosen people and the guardians" because we are "e.g shias, sunnis or alavis" need to be ablosished.

    That sounds like reform to me

    Definitely.

    If that's reform to you, then yes. I personally don't see that as reform because most of the people I know already live like that.

    For information on how Afghanistan and the Uighurs are merely a geopolitical pawn of the United States:

    just curious, given that you feel that people dont understand the nuance of afghanistans situation enough, what reading do you recommend that accurately reflects it

    Can find good historic papers on this on google scholar

    Well, that’s the whole truth of the Middle East + Pakistan & maybe Iran.

    Oil barons & powerful military-family mafias literally siphoning the state-funding + wealth and inter-generationally marginalizing lower class families.

    A rich kid in a golden lambo with a nuke launcher on the roof driving by an orphan starving to death on the street.

    Ibrahimi’s book on the Hazara also is a good book on ethnic relations that details the issues regarding the Hazara and the potential persecution that the American backed, Pashtun dominated government would play

    The Taliban are a Pashtun political entity that want an ethnonationalist state

    what book is this
