Why I like/hate Armin Navabi

Armin Navabi is a like a compelling villain protagonist. He's got a villain origin story where he seeks to hurt Muslims because they hurt him.

In 2017, Armin Navabi said Islam is worse than Nazi ideology which would make anyone want to eradicate Islam and consequently Muslims. Armin has made it clear during ExMNA speaking engagements that he does not want a reformation of Islam. No "replacing an evil lie with a nicer lie." He wants mass deconversion. Although he never says how. He probably wants to give himself plausible deniability.

We know he supports Israel and is completely okay with them bombing civilians including children. I don't think he is too bothered with a USSR or People's Republic of China style cultural genocide with re-education facilities for adults and residential schools for children.

He's already allied himself to Christian Nationalism and Hindutva. His problem with Islam clearly isn't the bigotry or authoritarianism.

Armin is understandably hurt by Islam and Muslims. It's obvious he is seeking vengeance. He will side with anyone if they allow him to get his revenge against Muslims and if they pay him.

Seriously, if Armin was a fictional character, he would be my favourite villain. I also like that he's a free speech absolutist.
