“What are your thoughts?”
Individual autonomy and freedom of thought remain paramount, despite attempts to curtail them. It is disheartening to observe certain factions within religious communities, specifically, asserting that laypeople ought to remain apolitical. However, the contemporary Information Age necessitates active civic engagement to safeguard our individual identities and mental well-being. Ironically, these same entities actively engage in political discourse, revealing a double standard.
Their underlying motive appears to be centralized control, serving the interests of their respective nation-states. They propagate the idea that the populace lacks the capacity to form informed opinions, implying that governance should solely be the prerogative of rulers. This diminishes our collective ability to make independent decisions.
Religion, in its essence, embodies simplicity, yet these groups complicate its fundamental principles. They introduce restrictive measures under the guise of ‘Islamic rulings,’ despite the rich tapestry of tradition that accommodates nuanced perspectives, knowledge, and wisdom. Religion is not confined to monochromatic directives.
This is why, in the context of the ongoing genocide, these entities are being exposed, and the truth is slowly coming to light.
