Have Muslims who call themselves ethnic "Arabs", even if all the genetic studies show these countries in the Maghreb and the Levant have barely if any Arab DNA, ever made peace with their brutal colonialism and slave trade? Or do they celebrate it and continue to call for similar fates in the modern world with chants like "Khaybar, Khayar"? You've said in past talks that you refuse to let the "woke" or extreme left take the left away from you. I understand, but I respectfully disagree, and wonder if it rather has something to do with the ego (as some researcher have discovered regarding left-wing authoritarianism). I think it is shortsided to think that the left has some definitional monopoly on equality and progress. Since I've left the left, I've held so many great discussions with those on the dreaded right who are much more tolerant and wish for the progress and prosperity for all humanity, while understand the realities of national boundaries. I'm a scientist not a philosopher, but this is actually not even new in philosophical literature, as you must already have read Camus' take on the left in "The Artist and His Time". I think it's time for those who study moral and political philosophies to reassess childish dialectics and tropes of left and right, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the ummah and the kuffar.
