@equitiesdalllas @cryptolyxe Using conventional finance terms you are correct, although depends on what he meant by "up". Going from 100 to 600 is a 500% increase, but the price is now six times the original (600% of the starting value).
This Islamic cleric just admitted that the extreme radical views held by Islamic terror groups are the norm amongst Muslims.
He ran an experiment to prove his point, and it worked.
@DrewPavlou@DrewPavlou I think you should lean into this new skill set and develop a platform for the public that communicates your immigration concerns and start a kickstarter so people like me can financially contribute to it.
Hello Jeff....
I have written on this extensively, and will address some of this below for you.
Islam is an ideology, a complete, uncompromising system of beliefs, laws, and commands that demands total submission and seeks ultimate political and social dominance over the entire world.
The word “Islam” literally means submission. It is not defined by what modern Muslims wish it to be, nor by cherry-picked interpretations, nor by the behavior of individual believers. It is defined exclusively by its authoritative sources: the Quran (the literal, eternal word of Allah), the Hadith (the authenticated sayings and actions of Muhammad), and the Sira (the authoritative biography of Muhammad).
These texts are fixed, immutable, and considered perfect and final for all time.
No ideology is entitled to immunity from criticism, especially not one that openly declares its mission to subjugate every person and every society under Islamic rule.
Ideologies have no human rights. Only individuals do.
Doctrinal Hierarchy of Submission
At its doctrinal core, Islam establishes an unbreakable hierarchy of submission:
Muslims submit completely to Allah and His final messenger, Muhammad.
Women submit to men (Quran 4:34 explicitly grants men authority over women and the right to discipline them).
All non-Muslims are ultimately required to submit to Islamic rule, pay the jizya tax in a state of humiliation, convert, or face war until Islam prevails (Quran 9:29, 9:5, 8:39, etc.).
Restrictions on Alliances with Non-Muslims
Islam explicitly prohibits Muslims from forming genuine friendships, alliances, or protective relationships with non-Muslims. This is repeated command-level doctrine:
Quran 5:51 — “O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you — then indeed, he is [one] of them.”
Quran 3:28 — “Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers… except when taking precaution against them in prudence.”
Quran 4:144 — “O you who have believed, do not take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers.”
Quran 9:23 — “O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief.”
These verses create a permanent theological barrier: true loyalty, guardianship, and intimate friendship belong only to the Muslim ummah.
Non-Muslims are structural outsiders, to be invited to Islam, tolerated under submission, fought until they submit, or (in certain contexts) eliminated as threats to the faith.
This is not about “peaceful coexistence.” It is about strategic separation, followed by supremacy.
Doctrinal Conflicts with Modern Human Rights
The same foundational texts contain commands and permissions that are irreconcilable with modern universal human rights:
Men are declared superior to women and given permission to beat disobedient wives (4:34).
Women are described as intellectually deficient and their testimony worth half that of a man (Bukhari 2658, 304).
Sexual enslavement of captured non-Muslim women is repeatedly permitted and regulated (Quran 4:24, 23:5–6, 33:50, 70:29–30; numerous hadiths).
Apostasy, blasphemy, and homosexuality carry capital punishment in the clearest terms of classical Islamic jurisprudence, drawn directly from hadith and Muhammad’s example.
Repeated curses are pronounced on Jews, Christians, polytheists, and hypocrites, often paired with calls to fight and kill until religion is “all for Allah” (9:5, 8:39, 2:191–193, etc.).
On Hypocrisy and Apostasy
Muslims who ignore, rationalize, or reject large parts of this doctrine, including those who live secular lives in the West, are, according to core Islamic teachings, engaging in hypocrisy (nifaq) or outright apostasy.
The Quran repeatedly condemns hypocrites (munafiqun) as the most dangerous internal enemies of Islam, labeling them liars, cursed by Allah, and deserving of severe punishment (e.g., Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:1–8 explicitly calls them “the enemies, so beware of them. May Allah curse them!”).
Apostates and blasphemers are viewed as traitors to the faith, often classified as enemies of Allah and His Messenger, warranting the harshest response in traditional jurisprudence, up to and including execution, to protect the ummah and the supremacy of the doctrine.
These are not “misinterpretations.” These are plain-text doctrines upheld by every major school of Islamic jurisprudence for fourteen centuries.
The ideology must be judged on its own texts and historical application, not on the personal character or selective practice of any believer.
Bottom Line
Critique Islam, relentlessly, honestly, without apology, as the totalitarian political-religious system it declares itself to be.
Treat every Muslim you encounter as an individual human being deserving basic respect and kindness.
But never confuse the two.
Never soften or sanitize what the texts actually say in order to avoid discomfort.
The doctrine is what it is. And it demands everything.
This reminds me of a man I used to know and deeply respect
He once said "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards"
Someday we will look back and connect these dots
We will see a man who could do anything right now, but chose to spend every waking minute working on the most ambitious projects imaginable to advance humanity
We are living through the most important moment in human history and most people do not realize it yet
AI today is the worst it will ever be
This is not the beginning of decline
It is the beginning of the most extraordinary chapter our species has ever written
I don’t care what you think about Israel, but here is a fact:
There is a direct relationship between standing against Israel and the expansion of Islam in a country.
This is a package deal. If you believe that Israel is the oppressor, you empower Islam in your country. If you believe that the jihad against Israel from the beginning was a territorial dispute, not a religious war, you will be blind to Islamic jihad against your own country. If you accuse Israel of genocide, you will be crippled in the face of terrorists.

Australian Senator Pauline Hanson, who told jihadists they are not welcome in Australia, has been referred to police under the new hate speech laws. She is being persecuted for opposing the rise of Islam in Australia. Share if you support her right to freedom of speech!
Here’s a concise summary of One Nation’s current policies per their website.
Even if you don’t agree with some or all of them, you should be able to see how many would resonate with a growing number of Australians.
Immigration: Cut net migration to 130k/per year (from 500k+/year), deport 75k illegal migrants, and implement 8-year waiting period for citizenship and welfare to reduce pressure on housing, infrastructure and wages.
Tax: Introduce joint family income tax splitting for couples with children, halve the fuel excise for three years, slash government waste and ensure multinationals pay their fair share.
Free speech: Enshrine within the Constitution, protect against government censorship and ensure the right to state biological truths without legal repercussion.
Housing: Reduce demand via lower migration, permanently ban foreign residential ownership and provide a five-year GST exemption on building materials for new homes under $1 million.
Health: Improve the system by boosting Medicare rebates by $3 billion per year and increasing investment in regional medical services and mental health.
Infrastructure: Prioritise major water projects, mandate Australian-first hiring for jobs and support infrastructure that benefits local regional communities.
Family: Support stay-at-home parents through tax relief, protect the biological definition of sex in law and ban gender-reassignment medical procedures for minors.
Energy: Withdraw from the Paris Agreement and reject climate alarmism, build three new coal-fired plants and one nuclear reactor, and abolish renewables subsidies.
Values: Prioritise Australian values and national sovereignty, introduce citizen-initiated referenda and oppose globalism.
@jeffreyscott88@newstart_2024 Evolution necessitates that in order to be fair to a species it must be unfair to the individual aka survival of the fittest.
The most successful people I know all have an almost irrational belief that everything will work out
And I just recently learned the word for it: Pronoia.
It means the opposite of paranoia. The belief that the world is secretly conspiring in your favor.
The funny thing about Pronoia is that it's self-fulfilling.
When you believe things will work out, you try harder. You persist longer, and you see opportunities where others see dead ends.
What's that quote again?
"Pessimists sound smart. Optimists make money." – Nat Friedman
We all need a little more pronoia in our lives.
