    Opposite of most people in this thread, I don’t think I’ve interacted with many Muslims online, at least not discussing communism with them.

    I’m very involved with the Muslim community at my university, I’ve met so many great Muslim leftists. One of my good friends runs the Student Justice for Palestine organization at the university, I love him to death, although we vehemently disagree on a few things. For him specifically, I’ve never seen him regurgitate anti-CCP Uighur propaganda, but many prominent Muslims in his organization have very loudly done so. He also organizes many marches, which I respect his passion for, even if I personally disagree with peaceful protesting to achieve the goal he wants. He believes the movement is big enough to demand real change, so I don’t really see the point in peaceful marches if you think your movement has enough traction. I’m of the opinion that peaceful protesting is great for spreading the word wide, but it’s not going to shake up the bourgeoisie like rioting will.
