I'm wondering where Islam stands, or ultimately stands on this issue of woke.
Remember the "Birmingham school stops LGBT lessons" story?

A quote from Shadi Hamid who is a senior fellow in the proect of US relations with the Islamic World.....
" Well I look at this sort of secular religion that’s growing in this country, the woke church or woke whatever you want to call it. It’s a dogma; there’s an orthodoxy; there are real conceptions of sin, of guilt, of shame, of atonement; there are effectively clerics of the woke movement who are arbitrators of acceptable conduct. As someone who studies religion, if you’re going to do religion, do religion, but don’t do this mimicking of the certainty and conviction of religion, but basically use it for a false secular god. That to me is part of what’s scary about this moment. That people are clearly looking for meaning, they’re looking to believe in something, but they’re finding it in odd places. We’ve seen these images and videos of—I guess you can call them white guilt rallies—where white people—and it’s creepy, it’s really creepy stuff—they’re basically prostrating on the ground as if they are praying and they’re essentially absolving themselves, trying to absolve themselves of sin and almost totemizing black people as—there’s something weird about that, that they’re in a sense using black people to atone. So, it gets into this really weird racial stuff and all that. And sometimes you see rallies of white liberals doing almost like what you see in some evangelical churches, putting their hands in the air and begging for forgiveness. It’s very weird stuff but it also shows the decline of a common Christian culture."

You’ve used the example where the massive racist and his massively racist mates organised a banner which was not only interpreted as being racist but highlighted what a massive racist he was so both he and his girlfriend were sacked from their jobs because their employers didn’t fancy the idea of being associated with massive racists?
You think that is all about ‘offence’?
