The movie The Long Walk, which is actually really good, features Nazis and common criminals being imprisoned by those nasty Soviets. There's a scene where the main characters get to Mongolia and see a huge sign of Mongolia's leader shaking hands with Stalin, and they say something like: "Oh, no! It's here, too!" Then they find a Buddhist temple in Mongolia which has been smashed, the obvious implication being that the narsty communists did it. White liberals love Buddhism because it allows them to pretend that they are above the fray and better than everyone else; it's impossible for them to conceive of the fact that it was used as a tool of oppression under feudalism (and even under Japanese imperialism). There are still Zen temples in South Korea which were constructed during the period of Japanese domination.

They're periodically huge fans of Hinduism and certain boutique flavors of Islam for the same reason.
Guilty as charged here, as I am white and test-driving calling myself a cultural Muslim due to my admiration for Islamic culture and my lack of interest in committing to any of the more difficult aspects of Islam.

Highly recommend not calling yourself a cultural Muslim, sounds like you’re self IDing as an islamaboo
Maybe that’s a better term to use.
just do the shahada and make your excuses for not doing hajj after you die
This is the real way
