Muslims cry about Western colonization, our ancestors were engaged in the very same practises at the same level.
Muslims took slaves, looted, and erased cultures.
In an alternate timeline where Ottomans conquered the Americas, we would take pride in that as well.

Imagine a timeline where the majority of North Americans are Brown Muslims.
Then, poor European immigrants arrive and tear down statues of early Muslim leaders, complain that everything is too Muslim, etc.
Would a Muslim society accept that? I don't think we would.

This is why I find people who spend all day talking about colonization annoying.
We don't actually care about the crimes (which are only crimes in a liberal framework, by the way) we just care that we were the victims.
Had we been the victors, we would take no issues.

This is why our complaints about colonization are so hollow and empty sounding, and only liberal Westerners who already hate the West humor us.
Everyone else can see the truth. We're sore losers. We played the game, and we lost in the final round.

I love how the primary critique has been:
"brother you don't understand how Islamic slavery works!"
or "but actually we were nicer slavemasters!"
or "but we were nice conquerers who let our subjects retain their culture as second-class citizens!"
You're proving my point.
