🇯🇵 "Japan also needs an Islamic Revolution." — Japanese journalist Thoton Akimoto on X
Naturally, an Islamic Revolution requires an organic awakening of the hearts of the people and cannot be forced on a population. The Islamic Revolution in Iran was a popular uprising and it was cemented via a national referendum, a measure which Imam Khomeini (ra) insisted on rather than an autocratic imposition of an Islamic Republic.
An Islamic Revolution, based on Shi'a values, would naturally respect religious minorities like Shinto and Buddhism and wouldn't seek to destroy old monuments and shrines. The worst form of paganism is the kind that actually holds power in society, and the idols that people really worship around the world nowadays are the real threat to monotheism: the idols of money, status, power, celebrities, the American empire, Jewish supremacy, consumerism/materialism, brand names, our own ego, etc.
An Islamic Revolution would solve many of Japan's social problems:
— Political independence and dignity instead of the humiliation of being America's slave
— Elimination of cultural imperialism from copying American culture such as extreme materialism, consumerism, individualism, and the destruction of family values
— Restoration of compassion and love for parents, elders, neighbors, the poor, and the oppressed
— Restoration of the importance of marriage, motherhood, family, and child-bearing, solving Japan's plummeting birth rate problem due to the rise of incel culture and socio-economic incentives to remain single and focused on work/career
— Elimination of pornography and legal brothels
— Elimination of sissy boy culture
— Resolution of alcohol abuse which is directly tied to domestic violence and crime
And many other socio-economic-political benefits.
The East Asian (Japan, China, Korea) attention to minimalism, respect, and other such positive values mesh well with corresponding Islamic values. Islam doesn't seek to abolish or erase all culture like Wahabbis do — rather it only opposes aspects of culture which are related to superstition, sin/corruption, ignorance, and polytheism, which should be either reformed or totally eliminated. The rest can be celebrated, embraced, and proliferated. Many ancient mosques in China have East Asian architecture rather than traditional West Asian style domes and minarets.
