Let me be clear..when we talk about (real) oppression we talk about two things
-governmental oppression
-social oppression (when oppression comes from the population itself)
So for this pride month it is important to talk about those two things so. .

Regarding the islamic world with the risks (sweet understatement) of non participation of religious activity and/or apostasy...
I enjoyed talking at Harvard & BU this week with @gzurlo.bsky.social about how religion declines around the world (www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...) & how the religious landscape changed in a recent 10 year period (www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...).

I feel so uncomfortable every time i see a public prayer, my wife never does this kind of thing...either she goes to a masjid, at home or in a private room, she also never approves this...most of the people who do that are provocative (in europe, japan also illegal in Singapore unless authorization)

I am always impressed..(and sad), no progressists/liberals in western world condemn or talk about mandatory marital conversion in a lot of countries...why ? Fear?

My child is heading to his last year of kindergarten.
After that primary school is coming and as a PR in singapore (also for singaporean), finding a primary school close to your home is a challenge, lottery etc...we have slightly more than a year to find a primary school here...let's go #singapore

Funny enough (see my comment on social pressure)
Outside of western world, the world is much much more conservative. Population as well, i know it is an unfamiliar take but it is a fact. And this conservatism is following immigration pattern.
Pretty sure Dearborn and surrounding swung right last midterms mostly because Whitmer was pro-LGBT. Not like minorities are necessarily progressive

It is funny how people never read reports, just headlines
Based on the Pew Research center, yes Islam is still the fastest growing religion, but it is slowing down,
From 2000 to 2010 it yearly growth was 1.7%, from 2010 to 2020 its yearly growth was 1.5%

India reduced its positive growth = sub-negative trend on a positive trend

In 2019
We had 230 000 muslims in japan
We had 20000 hindu in Japan
In 2025
We have 420 000 muslims in japan
We have 320 000 hindu.

So my question is the following. Are we going to see a conjonction before 2030 ?

Japan will welcome Indians to work as English Teachers and Bengladeshi to work as temporary workers
Ok so
-In the last 5 years hinduism grew by 260 000
-Islam by 240 000 in 15 years
Which one will be more than the other one by 2035 ?
Bets are open
