Still, it's unnecessary and controlling. Is there a context where the use of the network for undesirable, but not illegal, activity that wouldn't get you into trouble anyways? Its really not the institutions business what people do in their dorms or on campus faculty housing that doesn't impact other people or endanger the network/school.

Except it doesn't? Any of the things TikTok would do it can still do when it reconnects to another Wifi network, or the cellular service, location tracking, etc. It's not like TikTok is a worm that stays on a network – it records data more than uploads it.

Invading Russia = making political inroads into their historical sphere of influence. The "existential" threat to Russia is that it loses its historic colonial outposts.

If the rules of "secularism" disproportionately impact people only of certain religions then that is displaying favoritism, implicitly saying "this religion is approved, this religion is not". That's not very secular.

I get what you're trying to say - historically "Muslim garb" was just "desert garb" suited to the dry heat but I do also think these terms have some religious connotation now.

What really grinds my gears in this is that actual Muslim feminists, not just white knight crusaders (and i pick that word deliberately) Europe are out there and people who claim to be worried about how Islam treats women could you know, listen to their perspectives instead of just assuming European "secular" values are objectively better.

So who then?

So now its "secularism is when some religions are better than others?"

It's conveniently targeting one group and their religious expression. It's different when they do it to themselves, like in Turkey before the AKP took power and started weakening secularism there.
