@ShefVaidya To be fair, I think it’s moreso an issue of distance and having to wait forever in an immigration line, etc.
If people were more in the habit of strength training from an earlier age, this could be prevented.
@naim1981@FinestYew@grok Why are you so focused on digging up archaic texts which we have no use for these days. And can publicly proclaim that they’re not right for our age without fear of retaliation.
@bennyjohnson This is dumb.
I have an obscure name and people frequently assume I’m female, which I’m not.
And my title is Dr, which is gender neutral.
A pronoun signature used to help me cue people in to address me as “Sir”.

@jk_rowling I don’t think this is the right take. The Algerian never grew up as a male and was only discovered to have male chromosomes by accident on a test.
A better equalizer might be testosterone levels.
I want to share something deeply personal today. When I tell you that I was taught to hate Jews, like the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the Muslim world, I mean every word.
My father died in 2016. I didn't attend his funeral or burial in Cairo. I felt awful, so I asked my family for some belongings to remind me of him. I was given quite a few things, including a book that bought us in 2000 and often read for me and my brother.
The book is called "stories of animals in the Quran". The publisher is based in downtown Cairo and the book can be found anywhere.
Today, I will share some of the quotes from this book (cover page attached in this post and other photos in first comment).
- The Golden Calf: the house of Israel are idol worshippers who are not true to faith.
- Elephant: there was once a man who was king in Yemen, his name was "Zu Nawas", he was a tyrant. Two Jewish men lured him to embrace Judaism and to leave Christianity and force Judaism on the people, but the people didn't abandon Christianity. So, they [the men] suggested that he dig a deep pit and fill it with fire and offer the people an ultimatum, embrace Judaism or be thrown in the fire.
- Donkey: better than Jews who were burdened with the Torah and rather than keep it, they forged it and altered it.
- Apes: the ape Saturday people, Allah never transfigured a nation to the most degenerate animal as he did to the house of Israel. Allah obliged them to Friday, they deviated from it and accepted Saturday.
I was 10 in 2000, my brother was 7. This is what we were told about Jews. This is what kids are taught in Muslim countries.
But, of course, go ahead. Tell yourself that Israel is to blame. Scream, "free Palestine", and fall for the lie that the antisemitism we see on our streets has nothing to do with MUSLIM ANTISEMITISM and a campaign of GLOBAL JIHAD waged by millions of Muslims across the world.
Go on, fall for the lies. Be a useful idiot. But, don't you ever dare gaslight me and tell me that what I was taught and experienced, and that the evidence I show you TODAY, is not true!!!
I will speak out against Muslim antisemitism until the last day of my life. I have a favour to ask: please share this with all the loud Muslim activists who argue there's no antisemitism within Muslim communities, especially Mehdi Hasan who blocked me, and the loud broadcasters involved in this conflict, such as Piers Morgan!
Sherwanis are Afghan invaders who invaded India as soldiers of Abdali in 1761.
For centuries, they imagined India and knew India as a free land where they could to kiII, rapε, loot and pillage with impunity in the name of Jihad.
Yes, that India is dead now.
#Naperville, IL is reeling as a Hindu family faces physical threats & doxing attempts after allegations that a boy burned a Quran.
Since this allegation is too often a prelude to violence, dialogue is critical to ensure education. Instead, national Islamist groups & social media influencers are dangerously amplifying a whisper campaign & attacking the entire local Hindu American community with smears that they carry dual loyalties to Indian political parties just as the #Navaratri festival begins.
Burning of the Quran or any holy book is reprehensible, but the inflammatory rhetoric connecting a boy’s alleged action to the broader Hindu community is incredibly dangerous & condemnable.
We urgently call on @NapervilleIL@NapervillePD to provide support to the targeted family and assure their safety.
