“We are told that among the Daghestan peoples the Sharia is of great importance. We have also been informed that the enemies of Soviet power are spreading rumours that it has banned the Sharia. I have been authorized by the Government of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic to state here that these rumours are false. The Government of Russia gives every people the full right to govern itself on the basis of its laws and customs. The Soviet Government considers that the Sharia, as common law, is as fully authorized as that of any other of the peoples inhabiting Russia. If the Daghestan people desire to preserve their laws and customs, they should be preserved.”
— J. V. Stalin, Congress of the Peoples of Daghestan (November 13, 1920), Works, Vol. 4.
“You [Albanians] are a separate people, just like the Persians and the Arabs, who have the same religion as the Turks. Your ancestors existed before the Romans and the Turks. Religion has nothing to do with nationality and statehood… Nevertheless, the question of religious beliefs must be kept well in mind, must be handled with great care, because the religious feelings of the people must not be offended. These feelings have been cultivated in the people for many centuries, and great patience is called for on this question, because the stand towards it is important for the compactness and unity of the people.”

Yeah this is one of the rare screengrabs that makes a funny meme.
It’s an Israeli company isn’t it? That intentionally poorly dubs debates to make them look worse than they are is what I’ve being told.
Edit: for context if anyone wasn’t aware
Yeah, that’s what I was referring to when saying they are suspect. It’s to make Arabs and Muslims look bad but sometimes the stuff they publish makes for amazing memes.
Do we really need any religion though? Christianity, Islam, Buddhism. Do we really need any?
need is one thing, want is an entirely different thing. Many people want faith in something that can explain the meaning and purpose behind existence and I don’t think communism will do away with that, in fact, I think communism opens the space for even further exploration on belief and faith. We should oppose reactionary religion, but most religions of the world can be adapted to a socialist way of life, including Christianity and Islam.
Eventually I’d like to think the world will do away with organised religion etc but I’m not going to tell someone they can’t be spiritual as long as that remains a personal thing to them and it’s not something they evangelise or push onto their family, kids, society etc.
