IS ISLAM COMPATIBLE WITH MODERN VALUES?

This kind of question is almost never neutral. It is usually a projection question wrapped in polite language. It carries several assumptions without naming them directly.

"September 18, 1931, a date humanity must never forget.

Japanese troops blew up a section of railway under their control near Shenyang in northeast China.

They accused Chinese troops of sabotage as a pretext for attack, and then bombarded the Beidaying barracks near Shenyang the same evening.

By 1932, Japan had seized China's three northeastern provinces, installing the puppet regime of Manchukuo.

(. . .)

Japan's invasion of Northeast China wasn't just a Sino-Japanese affair.

It stemmed from Japan's 'Continental Policy': first seize Manchuria as a base, then attack the Soviet Union, and Southeast Asia.

Its imperialist war of territorial encirclement, however, was not stopped by the League of Nations, the United Nation's precursor.

After the League affirmed China's sovereignty over Manchuria and condemned Japan's violation of its territorial integrity, the Japanese empire withdrew from the League in 1933.

(. . .)

To this day, Eurocentric World War Two narratives, by obscuring Japan's initiation of aggression, enable historical evasion by the country's right-wing factions.

Only by fully restoring World War Two's historical and geographical scope can we safeguard peace and advance a shared future for humanity in our century."

Defending One-China: 1931: Japan starts deadliest, most destructive war in human history

80 years ago, Japan announced its surrender in World War Two. Its fascist aggression started from northeast China, shattering the post-war international system and emboldening European warmongers. Through 14 years of heroic resistance and the sacrifice of over 35 million, China secured the victory in the main Eastern battlefield. This was pivotal to the allied triumph and post-war peace. But, the genesis of that war has been debated based on values and interests. Zhou Jiaxin explains why the issue matters. 

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, a #strike at #SFSC began. It was led by the #ThirdWorldLiberationFront and it demanded the creation of #EthnicStudies courses to challenge the #Eurocentrism of #HigherEducation. They won, with a new department created that was soon copied nationwide.
