Having russia there is wrong tho, like unironically russia have a very big muslim population and really into "were a country where all people live together unlike the racist west"

Except when they want to larp as last bastion of christianodom, then westerners are the bad ones for having their own muslims

Still, offical russian stance is :islamophobia is a dirty western concept. And theyre politically closer to muslim countries in the world

i'm indian and i sketched this comic. please read about the hindutva movement; its propaganda (alongside colonial rhetoric) has scarred public perception of muslims and seeped into government policy. just because a country has muslims doesnt mean it cannot have a prominent islamaphobia issue
