@HallvardHolte Inheriting wealth provides a significant statistical advantage in achieving financial and professional success by almost every metric. Have to disagree with big YQ on this one. That’s why Alhamdulillah my sympathies are with the red-tinted Shī'at of Alī.

One of the most interesting speeches I’ve come across: Afghanistan’s late president, Najibullah asked in the 80s why so many foreign Arab fighters traveled to Afghanistan for jihad when Palestine was right next door.

@midnight_b65055 I’m pretty sure he was married to a Russian woman. But a real scumbag thing about him is he used to be really into Indian culture and lived in the country where he learned Hindi, and now he posts ragebait slop about how dirty it is (obviously it is). But his old vids are nuanced.

⚡️⭕️ Syrian President Jolani, condemns the Zionist regime:

The Israeli entity, which has always accustomed us to targeting our stability and creating division among us since the overthrow of the fallen regime, is now once again seeking to turn our pure land into an arena of endless chaos.
This entity does not cease to use all methods to sow discord and conflict.
Its goal is to break the unity of our people and weaken our ability to progress in the process of reconstruction and renaissance.
A war that has no goal other than to fragment our homeland and scatter our efforts towards chaos and destruction.
Having great power does not necessarily mean victory, just as victory in one arena does not guarantee success in another.
You may be able to start a war, but controlling its outcome is not easy.
Throughout their long history, Syrians have rejected all divisions and partitions.
We are the children of this land and the most capable of overcoming all attempts by the Israeli entity to divide us, and our will is so firm that fabricated seditions cannot shake it.
Syria is not a testing ground for foreign conspiracies, nor a place for the realization of others' ambitions at the cost of the blood of our children and women.

@HallvardHolte I found it very interesting that to that Mu’tazila they had a view that people who have never heard of Islam could reach paradise only if they rationally deduced good moral and ethical behavior, ofc not including praying, sharia, etc because those come from Quran.

The idea that you could get an education without reading the Bible is oxymoronic.

Nixon: These people, they're not like Czechs. The language is similar, yes, but these are mountain people. Old Slavs, you understand. They commit incest and they can't read.
Kissinger: They're surrounded by Poles and Hungarians.
Nixon: I'd stay in the mountains too.

In 1915, Sarojini Naidu wrote a poem, The Imam Bara of Lucknow, describing the scene and emotions at a Muharram procession. Sarojini writes;

Out of the sombre shadows,
Over the sunlit grass,
Slow in a sad procession,
The shadowy pageants pass
Mournful, majestic and solemn,
Stricken, pale and dumb,
Crowned in their peerless anguish,
The sacred martyrs come.

She described the scene of people wearing black and walking on roads burning with sunlight. According to Naidu, these people presented a scene from the past where they look like those great martyrs, Hussain and his comrades. Mourners were full of agony yet looked majestic amidst all the sufferings they bore. In her view these martyrs were ‘sacred’ and ‘peerless’. A perfect tribute by a non-Muslim poet to one of the most important martyrs of Muslims.

Hark, from the brooding silence
Breaks the wild cry of pain
Wrung from the heart of ages
Ali! Hassan! Hussain!

The martyrdom of Hussain had inflicted a pain on the hearts of human civilizations, which they bore silently. The cries of Ali, Hassan and Hussain by the mourners, to Naidu, were an instrument to bring out this pain and relieve the heart of civilizations from silent agony.

Come from this tomb of shadows,
Come from this tragic shrine
That throbs with the deathless sorrow
Of a long-dead martyr line.
Love ! let the living sunlight
Kindle your splendid eyes
Ablaze with the steadfast triumph
Of the spirit that never dies.

For Naidu, this procession coming out of Imam Bara, Lucknow, symbolized a ‘sorrow’ which would never end. The tragedy of Karbala would always be mourned till the end of the times. Nature should keep witness of the victory of Hussain over his enemy. His victory lied in the fact that the principle for which he fought thrived even after him and the tyrant, Yazid, who killed him got erased like any other evil.

So may hope of new ages
Comfort the mystic pain
That cries from the ancient silence
Ali! Hassan! Hussain!

Naidu called the tragedy a ‘mystic pain’. It was no pain of a mortal’s death but of humanity. The pain she talked about is about the suffering truth had to undergo against evil. It was this pain for the right cause, which translated itself into the cries of ‘Ali! Hassan! Hussain!’. Sarojini hoped that one day, the world would be free from this pain. Truth will win over evil and the struggle of Hussain will reach its ultimate goal.

I didn’t say what Susan Collins did is criminal. I said it SHOULD be criminal.

She got incredibly wealthy, funneling taxpayer money to her husband & profiting off stock trading while in office (violating the STOCK Act 25 times).

In a reasonable society, that would be criminal. Unfortunately, corrupt politicians like her still write our laws.
