END THE OCCUPATION

For the last half-century, public discourse has been dominated by calls from the radical left to “decolonize” Western nations, endlessly rehearsing the sins of the British Empire and the Atlantic slave trade as if they alone define global history—despite white-majority countries being a minority of the world and despite the fact that conquest and empire have been universal human behaviors.

This shirt flips that narrative back on itself by pointing to one of the longest and most brutal imperial projects in history: the Islamic conquests, whose slave trade endured for more than a millennium, enslaved vast numbers of Africans, Europeans, and Asians, and established political systems that still suppress dissent, women, and religious minorities. If the language of decolonization is to mean anything beyond selective moral outrage, then it must be applied consistently.

If we truly care about human rights, women, children, democracy, and creating flourishing societies, we must be willing to confront Islamic supremacist ideology and it's historical and current conquest.
