    #Democracy is a bit overrated. What matters most is #liberalism. (Human rights, rule of law.) Without it, democracy can devolve into tyranny of the majority. Here is a powerful @newyorker article (featuring @RanaAyyub) on how that is happening in @India:https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/12/09/blood-and-soil-in-narendra-modis-india…

    For sure, the same is happening in Muslim-majority democracies, such as #Pakistan, #Malaysia or #Turkey. And many Muslims cheer for these, while complaining from tyranny of majority in other places. What we need is a principled stance for human rights & freedoms everywhere.

        This is exactly what makes me so angry. Since I respect you a lot, I will say it as gently as possible: Erdogan, Mahatir or Imran are NOT Modi. Please stop putting Modi in same category. It's just wrong, lazy and downplays the danger Modi is.
