A thread examining obsession of Sanghis with "Islamists". In simple words, what RSS does, as part of any propaganda & finds "Islamist" parallels for it. This thread offers no defence of "Islamists", only highlights RSS's obsession as a propaganda tactic. https://twitter.com/workingboxwala/status/1256811225054244865?s=19

This thread uses sarcasm to expose how Sanghis use wild, unsubstantiated, vague generalizations (reeking of Islamophobia) - to try & legitimize something that is widely reported to be highly problematic (like the RSS)...
For every "claim", there is relevant context provided. The "atheist" quote tweeted doesn't even bother to cite any legitimate source to back up her claims - considering that she's casually demonizing/otherizing a whole community based on her religious prejudice towards Islam.
