The Real Reason Behind Islamophobia: Weakness, Not Evil

Islamophobia is often portrayed as irrational hatred toward Muslims simply because of their faith. But history teaches us a harsh truth: the world does not fear or hate the weak because they are evil—it disrespects them because they are weak.

1. Power Dictates Perception

Throughout history, the strong have defined morality, justice, and truth. When a civilization is powerful, its enemies are called "savages" or "terrorists." But when that same civilization declines, its heroes are recast as villains.

The Muslims of the past—when they were united under strong empires like the Ottomans or the Mughals—were feared and respected. Europe trembled at the gates of Vienna, and Islamic scholarship led the world in science, medicine, and philosophy.

The Muslims of today are fractured, dependent, and ruled by corrupt regimes. The result? Islam is now synonymous with chaos, backwardness, and extremism—not because it is inherently violent, but because it followers are too divided to control the narrative.

2. Division Invites Disrespect

A weak and disunited people will always be mocked, exploited, and feared—not for their beliefs, but for their inability to defend them.

Arab dictators sell out their own people for Western approval.

Muslim nations fight each other over sectarian lines while their enemies laugh.

Islamic leaders preach unity but bow to foreign powers for survival.

When Muslims were strong, the West studied their sciences and traded with them as equals. Today, the same West lectures them on human rights while supporting their oppressors. This is not hypocrisy—it is the natural behavior of the strong toward the weak.

3. Victimhood vs. Victory

Islamophobia thrives because Muslims have accepted the role of the permanent victim—always complaining, never winning.

The Jews were once the most persecuted people in Europe. Now, Israel—backed by a united Jewish diaspora—commands global influence.

China was once humiliated by colonial powers. Today, it enforces its own rules without apology.

Muslims, meanwhile, beg for UN resolutions and Western sympathy while their own rulers betray them.

The world does not pity the weak—it exploits them. And until Muslims regain strength, unity, and self-respect, Islamophobia will continue.

Islamophobia exists not because Islam is evil, but because Muslims have allowed themselves to become irrelevant in the modern world’s power struggles.

History does not remember the weak as "righteous"—it remembers them as forgotten. If Muslims want respect, they must stop begging for it and start earning it.

The solution is not more apologies, but more power.

Because in the end, the strong write history—and the weak suffer it

The Demonization of North Korea: A Critical Look at Propaganda and Colonial Complicity

North Korea, officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), is one of the most misunderstood and relentlessly demonized nations in the world. Western media, particularly outlets from the United States and its allies, consistently portray the country as an irrational, oppressive, and dangerous "rogue state." This narrative is not accidental—it serves a clear geopolitical purpose. For people from nations with a colonial past, uncritically accepting this propaganda is not just intellectually lazy; it is a betrayal of the anti-imperialist struggles that shaped our own histories.

The Mechanics of Demonization

The portrayal of North Korea follows a familiar pattern used against any nation that resists Western hegemony:

Dehumanization – North Koreans are often depicted as brainwashed, robotic, or incapable of independent thought. This strips them of their humanity, making it easier to justify hostility against them.

Exaggeration and Fabrication – Stories about North Korea are frequently sensationalized or outright fabricated. From the infamous "execution by anti-aircraft gun" myth to exaggerated claims about human rights abuses, many allegations crumble under scrutiny.

Double Standards – While North Korea is condemned for its political system, far worse human rights violations by U.S. allies (Saudi Arabia, Israel, Colombia) are ignored or downplayed.

Historical Amnesia – The devastating impact of U.S. bombing during the Korean War (which killed an estimated 20% of the North’s population) and decades of sanctions are erased from mainstream discourse.

Why Former Colonized Nations Should Know Better

Countries that have suffered under colonialism should be the first to recognize this propaganda playbook. The same tactics were used to justify invasions, coups, and sanctions against nations like Vietnam, Cuba, Iraq, and Libya. The demonization of North Korea is not about "human rights" or "freedom"—it is about punishing a country for refusing to submit to U.S. dominance.

Many former colonies also have histories of being labeled "backward," "savage," or "tyrannical" by colonial powers. Accepting Western narratives about North Korea means endorsing the same imperialist logic that was once used against our own people.

What We Can Do

Question Western Media – Seek out alternative sources, including reports from journalists who have actually visited the DPRK.

Reject Hypocrisy – Hold Western nations accountable for their own human rights abuses before lecturing others.

Stand Against Sanctions – Economic sanctions are a form of collective punishment that disproportionately harm ordinary North Koreans, not the government.

Support Diplomacy – The only way to reduce tensions is through dialogue, not threats and regime-change fantasies.

North Korea is not a perfect society—no nation is. But the relentless demonization it faces is a tool of imperialist aggression. For those of us from formerly colonized nations, we have a duty to resist this propaganda. We must stand in solidarity with all nations resisting foreign domination, because if we don’t, we betray the struggles of our own ancestors.

The next time you hear a sensationalized story about North Korea, ask yourself: Who benefits from this narrative? The answer is always the same—empire. And empire must always be opposed.
