Being Muslim in Japan

Halal food does not belong to Japan, and it is very cruel. > "I realized that educating the people around me was going to be a permanent part of my life here" The entitlement and arrogant ignorance is really strong. As a German who left Germany long time ago, I really hope Japan stays Japanese. When I visit, it feels like a full system restore for me — the social harmony, the deep consideration for others, the quiet competence. It’s one of the last places that still feels good and is quiet. It’s simple systems thinking: Japan’s high-trust culture works. Japan is trying to protect it: comprehensive surveillance of mosques and Islamic-related organisations in Japan includes profiling, cameras, undercover agents, informants, and the collection of personal data. It began shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, became public through a leak in 2010, and the Supreme Court declared it legal in 2016 (stating it was "necessary and unavoidable" for counter-terrorism). Japan is nice because it is Japanese. And now I'm probably going to loose my hard-earned 46 karma points here on HN. ;-) worth it.

Tolerance is all the author is entitled to and the rest is on them to figure out. Expecting compatibility is ignorant.
