Mehdi Hasan has rebranded into a polished, suit-and-tie media fixture — a regular on Piers Morgan, posing as a reasonable voice for the Palestinian cause. Then the old tapes resurfaced.
In lecture footage from his earlier days, Hasan describes non-Muslims as people who “𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘴, 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦.” 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐩 — 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰.
It gets worse. In the same breath he lumps 𝐚 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫 in with “a homosexual, a p∗dophile, a sexual deviant” — because under that ideology, music and dogs are forbidden, and anyone who enjoys them is corrupt.
This is the man now lecturing Western audiences about tolerance and morality.

@1NCRDB1 He supports the president, you support a pedophile false prophet and the world's largest parasitic, grifting cult of oppression and violence. Shut up, nobody's interested in your hot take, and nobody will remember you after your career hits the wall.
Fuck @Redfin for their big game spot with racist stereotypes and contributing to division and hate while rationalizing that bigotry into nobility by pretending it's inclusivity. Fuck all the way off.
@kevinmyoung Reducing “white American culture” to evil capitalism and imperialism while romanticizing another group isn’t analysis, it’s ignorant, intellectually flaccid stereotyping, and racism. American culture is shared and mixed, not racial caricature. Also, fuck you.
@TheSkeptic4122 Actually, the teaching is that God is loving and just, and as such, if you exercise your free will to reject him, he honors that, and he stays away from you. Hell isn't a place, it's not being with God, and you chose it.
On March 9, 2015, Pres. Obama issued Exec Order 13692, which declared a national emergency due to the "unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States" posed by the situation in Venezuela. Trump actually did something about it.
Democrats are going to be harping about higher taxes on the wealthy ad nauseam for the next two years, but it's just a platitude to fool suckers. The annual U.S. budget would barely be covered for a single year even if we confiscated 100% of billionaires' wealth in the U.S.
@FreedmenCulture Actually, it was the first modern paramedic program in the U.S. Prior, most “ambulance” services were run by police or funeral homes with little to no medical care during transport. Freedom House pioneered trained civilian paramedics and the basis of today’s EMS system.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

@pardonmewithp Why would you ask about "white people", and not everyone else who did the same thing? Slavery has existed in virtually every culture, but it was mostly white, Christian, Western cultures that first abolished it. It's still practiced in parts of Africa. By blacks.
