Remarkable words by Shaykh @YasirQadhi on liberty in 🇺🇸:
American Muslims have a blessing that most other Muslims in the world (including the Muslim world) do not have:
"A constitution that protects our freedoms."
"We thank Allah for that freedom."

“You cannot impose sharia [Islamic law] as a positive law that is binding on all people.”
Says @ulil, as quoted here in The Economist.
I agree. Sharia is built on faith. So, it should be voluntarily practiced by faith, not coercively imposed by power.

I am glad to announce an event I will join online this Sunday (Aug 27) focusing on the Afghanistan edition of my book, "Why, As a Muslim, I Defend Liberty."
With many thanks to @AELSO2 & @Khalid_Ramizy for organizing this — in #Kabul!

Whatever you may have to do, watch your mind. Also you must have moments of complete inner peace and quiet, when your mind is absolutely still. If you miss it, you miss the entire thing. If you do not, the silence of the mind will dissolve and absorb all else.
Nisargadatta
"You must watch yourself continuously.. particularly your mind.. moment by moment, missing nothing. This witnessing is essential for the separation of the self from the not-self.”
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
Across USA, Muslim, Christian & other families are protesting LGBTQ themes in public schools.
My colleague @NealMcCluskey & I think they are right: governments can't dictate worldviews, and schools should be freer.

Our principal error is that we think we have one mind. We call the functions of this mind 'conscious'; everything that does not enter this mind we call 'unconscious' or 'subconscious'. This is our chief error.
