Islam ☪️ | Still restructuring worldviews

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

I've just learned that Dr. Refaat Alareer, along with several family members, has been murdered in an Israeli airstrike.

I'm in tears and sick to my stomach as I write this.

I had the great honor to spend time with Refaat during my time in Gaza, including harvesting olives with him in 2015 in his home neighborhood of Shujaiya.

I visited him in the Islamic University of Gaza, where he used English-language literature and poetry to teach his students the difference between Judaism and Zionism, equipping them with the mental tools to resist Zionist propaganda that seeks to conflate the two.

Refaat was a guiding light as a I documented life and death for my documentary, Killing Gaza. He helped me gain access to elders in his neighborhood who provided testimony of shocking Israeli war crimes.

In one of our last exchanges, I told him that, in my time in Gaza, I felt as though I were documenting the Warsaw Ghetto before its liquidation by Nazis. I promised him that his writings would be featured in a future Victims of Zionism museum. I didn't imagine that would be my last message to him.

Refaat Alareer embraced everything good and pure about Gaza and Palestine. He will not be forgotten and his legacy will live on for many generations to come.

Rest in peace, Refaat.

Long live the resistance!

What happened to not doing hypotheticals?

What if some - as they have been - are holding Hamas flags, celebrating Oct7, or chanting ‘From the river to the sea’ & other anti-Semitic abuse? Does that make it a peace or hate march?

“Secularism in the context of Islamicate communities has often meant de-Islamisation, and has for the most part been imposed either by colonial, communist or Kemalist regimes. Such projects have all served to increase rather than reduce social conflict.”

This proves there is only thing standing in the way of the ummah’s eventual victory currently:

“Indeed, Allāh will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” (13:11)

Hamas did NOT bake a Jewish baby in an oven.

However, the Israelis did bake a Palestinian child in an oven and made the child’s father watch.

"Colonization refuses the colonized access to their own past. By imposing a colonial language, it retards the capacity of indigenous languages to represent reality. It claims that the language of the colonized lack "technical" or "scientific" vocabulary."

Eyes fill with tears…

Ya Rabb we beg you to please give victory to Palestine and end this oppression, Ameen

Cool, now do the same interview to Netanyahu

[Hugo Bachega @hugobachega]

Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad abruptly interrupted my interview and walked away after I repeatedly asked him how he could justify the killing of hundreds of civilians, including many women and children, in the 7 October attacks in Israel.

[TheIslamicate @TheIslamicate]

Oh Ghazza! We are not like the leaders

[TheIslamicate @TheIslamicate]

...the terrible woes inflicted on the Palestinians for decades, the bloody invasions of Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan, and the tens of thousands of Muslims murdered by dictatorships sponsored by the West.

🧵On the origins of the information (Media) war against Muslims, and the making of the "Muslim beast"

1. It begins, quite shockingly, all the way at the dawn of the crusades. Christian fathers and priests spent countless hours creating a crude image of Islam to demonize it

[TheIslamicate @TheIslamicate]

All of the aforementioned and much more was the main driving force behind the occurrence genocides of the colonial era, or the massacres of Palestinians at Sabra and Chatilla in Lebanon in 1982, or during the Bosnian tragedy, or in Chechnya, as well as...+

"If in the minds, in the general perception, in the generalised nightmares of this world, the beast is the Muslim, why is it that on the ground the dead corpse is also that of the Muslim?"
