Thread on Hindu extremism, Muslim fundamentalism, same coin, etc:

1) Bringing Muslim fundamentalism into the theorem is a deliberate attempt to invisiblise the lack of political/social capital among Muslims vis a vis Hindus,
2) and more importantly, to hide the failure of the secular parties in fighting Hindu extremism. This "Hindu extremism, Muslim Fundamentalism' analogy is a multilayered attack against Muslims. First, Muslims become victim of crimes committed by Hindu extremists with state support
3) Second, Muslims are made a party in their own killings thus leaving no ground to understand the situation in attacker-defender frame. Third, it invisiblises the anti-Muslim approach of the state via police, judiciary, even in fucking compensation.
4) Fourth, the agency to speak is gone. Muslim organisations who've resources to fight are criminalised. Individuals are either appropriated, bought or delegitimised. That gives secular parties and leaders a window to play a messiah role.

End.
