Muslims have suffered oppression for hundreds of years. From one corner of the globe to the other, Muslims have been demonised, subjugated and murdered in masses. From the days of the Christian crusade against the Muslims to the days of Winston Churchill advocating starvation of millions in India to the thousands of children that died in the Iraq war. The oppression of the Muslims is plain and clear for everybody to see.
But the oppression Muslims face isn’t just physical. It has a psychological element too. Muslims are constantly demonised in media outlets and treated as “the other”. Islam is treated as being alien to civilised values which breeds more intolerance towards Muslims, resulting in more attacks on Muslims – which are, sadly, become even more and more common.
