The evangelical Christians' disproportionate hold on society is terrifying. It plagues so many sectors of society. Just recently, the speaker of the National Assembly suggested conversion therapy as a means to tackle the country's low birthrate. https://twitter.com/koryodynasty/status/1596076784331939842?t=4VUIqo4Oy6lbF2QPpmRCcw&s=19

“South Korea's National Assembly speaker Kim Jin-pyo has suggested conversion therapy as a means to tackle the country's low birthrate and population decline. K-Christians like Kim sincerely believe homosexuality is to blame for the country's low birthrate. https://t.co/EBEJLOUVYD”

1/ "Chastity education" for students: Seoul Metropolitan Council, which is already considering repealing the Seoul Student Human Rights Ordinance, also wants to teach students that sexual activity should only occur within the context of marriage.

It's deeply troubling.

I'm seeing an increase in interest in all things Korean around the world, with many individuals romanticising the country as some dazzling Hallyu paradise on social media, including in LGBTQ circles. However, the reality on the ground is totally opposite.

On coming Thursday, the people opposing Mosque Construction are going to host another Pork meat and beef Soup party in front of our Mosque claiming that "Muslims should also respect our culture".

This is called sugar-coating #Islamophobia with tag of "Korean Culture"

By "third parties" we all know who they are: the K-Christians, spreading their hate agenda, lies, discrimination, and disinformation to people who don't know any better. Few media are picking up on the true culprits.

Repulsive in every sense of the term.

As a journalist, I'm not sure what's worse:

- emails from those asking to "pick your brain" for free
- editors asking for articles without pay
- other journalists stealing your ideas
- being asked to share sources you've worked so hard to develop trust in
- not being credited
