When I first converted to Islam, I never understood how so many Muslims would one day be fooled by dajjal when all the signs will be so obvious. Witnessing the 'shock' that so many Muslims have expressed over Elon's unprincipled hypocrisy, now it all makes sense. It really does.
As I said earlier this week, “decolonization”, “from the river to the sea” and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide.
Clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suspension.

You have a safe, stable, prosperous life and all you have to do is stay out of politics.

This is a great thread. Rampant acts of vigilante justice are tell-tale signs of a failing or failed state. Real justice requires due process. An Ummatic alternative to whatever we have today must ensure due process and punish those who take the law into their own hands.
- A Muslim woman was nearly lynched for wearing a dress with Arabic letters spelling "hulwa".
- Non-Muslim Sri Lankan factory manager was beaten, killed, & set on fire for removing posters with religious content. He had removed them due to renovation works.

I have some very exciting news. I would like to announce that this afternoon I signed a contract with Oneworld Publishers for my next book. "Deliberating within the Fold" will offer a novel model of perfectionist public reason for Muslim-majority societies.

The more this war drags on, and the more I learn about how laws in the UK work, the more I realize the UK is not the kind of place I'd ever want to live in.
There is a D-Notice in place to stop UK media reporting on SAS role in Gaza.
But we know SAS has deployed to UK base on Cyprus. We also know 33 RAF transport flights have flown from Cyprus to Tel Aviv in past month.
All media acceding to the D-Notice are complicit.

No, no. Its totally normal for a new convert, a day or two after converting, to make sure they are the center of attention with videos like this. I mean, what new convert *didn't* post a video of themselves with lewd music & half-naked women in it the day after making Shahada?
This was posted yesterday. In the video are Andrew Tate, Tam Khan (the guy he’s in the video praying with), and UK boxer, Amir Khan. Disclaimer: The music is lewd and there are numerous barely-clad women dancing.

While we are at it, perhaps we can finally relegate the fraudulent construct of "universal human rights" to the ash heap of history as well. 3/3

What nonsense this post is. "Islamism" is like the opposite of a "Middle Ages ideology"; its a distinctly modern construct, especially the particular iteration of it that you have in mind.

Very interesting conversation; well worth your time. This is the type of critical engagement we need more of.
@jalalayn
is the best Muslim Podcaster out there. His interview with
@SALHACHIMI
was just as insightful.
I had an enjoyable interview with
@thinking_muslim
entitled "Pragmatism, Politics and Power."
Those who are interested in political engagement can listen to my opinions here, since I was able to give more detailed answers about some sensitive topics.

Is this for real? Not only is it comically stupid, but it's a wholly unIslamic approach to halal sexual relations. We all know this, but we don't want to hurt the celebrity convert's feelings. He's new to Islam and is "still learning."
Sex is for making children.
Any man who has sex with women because it "feels good" is gay.
Oh my pee pee feels good this is great!
In fact if you are 40 with less than 5 children you're probably gay.
All that feel-good pee pee sex and hardly any genetic legacy?

If you check the profiles, the vast majority Twitter's 'Iran 2022 Revolution' crowd- especially the most vulgar, pro-monarchist types who spew the most anti-Islamic bile, have like 40 followers, follow 20 people, have been active for like 2-3 months and & 1000s of retweets. 1/2

So have there been any official statements from the US State Dept. about Kuwait's parliament being dissolved and put under a 4 year State of emergency? I'm guessing no. I think we are in the midst of a dangerous seismic shift in global policy towards the Muslim world... 1/

I'm guessing that most Americans really are not as devoted to free speech as they think and in reality only support 'free speech' when its speech that suits their interests, (which is not support free speech at all).

It's really disappointing that so many people are trying to speculate from the advertising Tweets (that I didn't write) promoting my Ummatics nation-state essay what the actual essay is about. Just read the essay dammit, lol. Then feel free to call me whatever 'X-ist' you want!

All the bigoted identity politics masquererding as progressivism is getting really old. Seeing self-identifying Muslims say, "You can't talk about race X unless you are X" or "Keep your opinions about country Y's election to yourself; you're not from Y" is embarrassing.

Ghada is always a good reminder that for many people, nationalism and 'identity' are the sacred while Islam is the 'oh yea, that other part too.'

It's embarrassing that Sunnis are acting like Iran's carefully choreographed kayfabe last night was done for the Palestinians. It literally had nothing to do with the Palestinians. And of course Jordan doesn't want foreign drones flying over its airspace, who would?

Day 1 of the
@ummatics
Conference here at ISTAC. Mustafa Salama talking about the importance of good social science research within an Ummatic context. It's not just about asking the right questions; it's also about having the right research design.
