    Thats a lot of Muslim countries listed, and you cherry picked a few out of them.

    I cherry-picked them? Those were four of the seven countries AI slop authors Prashad and Chak named, and I noted them because they’re obviously corrupt and abusive and the authors definitely know this; the fact that the authors decided to list even one of the four I listed as if it’s compelling is absurd.

    I just as easily could’ve included Egypt (under the extremely corrupt and abusive el-Sisi “presidency” since 2014) and Nigeria (roughly Muslim–Christian split and notable for extreme corruption), but I decided to list the most obviously egregious majority of them from the list the authors provided as evidence. You can view the full list of representatives here.

    Yes, I fully believe Muslim-majority countires would defend the cultural genocide of a Muslim ethnic group toward political ends; what kind of question is this? Again, read the Tempest article by David Brophy and try to discuss it here; he uses his experience as a socialist and a historian to break down the half-hallucinated lies by Prashad and Chak.
