Nothing other than the overthrow of the Bourgeois is progressive.
Secularism w/out revolution is only letting the bourgeois redefine the discourse.
A socialist state cannot be non-secular. It can be non-Western, but not non-secular. Lenin believed in religious freedom but religion must not interfere with politics or become too powerful.
Historically whenever Islamists (sometimes supported by the West) have got into power, communists have been murdered on a large scale. As a Marxist, I say I can co-operate with religious socialists, but at the same time I'm always somewhat wary of them, because our ultimate end-goal is not the same.

I don't disagree.
But I will reiterate getting caught up with obsessing over secularism, atheism, or whatever fun distraction you have to frame class conflict in a light that is about anything but class conflict is ridiculous.
I'm not the one who is obsessing over religion and the idea that there is a big "total cultural war" against Islam by the West...

when i say war on islam i mean full on murder, bombs dropping, and other hallmarks of imperialist war.
E: i mean i guess it would be war ON a culture but
How about honor killings?
"If ever a pen was a weapon, it was the pen which wrote Lenin's 1917 texts."
Sharia Law allows, if a family member dishonors the family, to have said person killed to preserve honor. The vast majority of honor killings are against women and girls. This is not right!
"If ever a pen was a weapon, it was the pen which wrote Lenin's 1917 texts."
You dumbass, honor killings are not part of Sharia law. Honor killings are part of pre-Islamic tribal practices. Seriously, pull your head out of your ass, so far all you've been contributing is just ignorant, Islamophobic bullshit.

Yes, booze is haraam and yes, I still drink it anyway; not a saint mate.Drunk...Muslim...?
Piss off with this rubbish, this is a myth and nonsense. Where in the world people get the idea that Islam permits murder is beyond me.

"Not turning the other cheek... Christian... ?"Drunk...Muslim...?It's not like all religious people follow all the rules all the time.
comrade i don't turn the other cheek most of the time but yet here i am"Not turning the other cheek... Christian... ?"
Isn't Sharia Law very widely interpreted differently amongst and such? Is it definitively laid out and absolute?
Democracy for Libya! And by democracy, we mean brutal theocratic dictatorship that offers cheap oil to the West.

"It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends."
- Karl Marx
It's application comes in as many forms as there are silly sectarian labels on the left.
It's disappointing, but not unexpected.
I think Gaddafi was a petty opportunist who sided with imperialists and I won't miss him, but the inherent hypocrisy in forcing a regime change like this is nauseating. If anyone expected anything other than Islamists to come in to power with the "democracy" of the 'Arab Spring' has head their head in the clouds.
One step forward.. two back.
There is differences in opinion on the various aspects of the shari'ah in the overall ummah (Muslim community) in it's practical application and specifics. There is four Sunni madh'habs or schools of fiqh (law) which are Hanbali, Hanafi, Shafi'i and Maliki (the one I subscribe too) and there is one school of fiqh in Shi'ism known as Ja'fari. There is indeed varying opinions and you also have to take into account indigenous cultural traditions, norms and so forth. Again you (not saying you specifically) can't just lump everything together when it comes to Islam, it's not some homogenous and or monolithic entity.
