I grew up in a Muslim household.
I speak Arabic.
I understand the deen.
I will never denounce Islam.
But Muslims in America need to wake up.
This is not Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or whatever Muslim-majority country you or your parents came from.
This is the United States of America.
A country built by a Christian people, under English common law, with Christian based forming documents that still protects your right to pray...
And everyone else’s right not to be drafted into your display.
We are a small minority here.
Act like it.
The Islamic backlash is not a mystery.
It’s self-inflicted.
Public prayer stunts in Times Square.
Loud dawah framed as “we’re taking over.”
Importing old-country politics.
Treating American norms as optional and then acting shocked when natives push back.
Most Americans will never say this out loud:
They don’t want the adhan blasted in public squares.
They don’t want a new mosque on every corner.
They don’t owe you their language.
They don’t want your relatives imported by default.
They don’t have to care that you’re fasting.
This doesn't mean you can't practice, fast, pray and, build a life.
Do it without turning the host country into a stage and then crying “Islamophobia” when people notice.
Ungrateful, performative Muslims don’t advance the religion.
They hand critics footage and make the rest of us look like idiots.
Stop giving them the ammo.
If you want to be performative, go to the UAE, Saudi, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, or any of the other beautiful countries in the middle east.
Many are clean, safe, and there are no ghetto black people.
Assimilate or go there.
Scientists have discovered a new species of cat for the first time in over a century.
Smaller than an average housecat and covered in leopard-like spots, the cat species — proposed name Leopardus tilcayo —lives in Bolivia’s Yungas forest ecoregion.
At Least 17 Afghan Migrants Die of Thirst at Iran’s Saravan Border
The human rights organization Haalvsh has reported that at least 17 Afghan migrants, including women and children, have died from severe thirst in the Rotak border area of Saravan, Iran.
According to the…1️⃣
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:
I won’t lie to you: there are real dangers. And I think for too long the industry lied to people about the fact that this technology had risk.
The idea was that they would present it as positive as possible.
We’ve never done that, but too much of the industry did that. And so it starts with telling the truth. And the truth is there are risks. Risks are real.
Dario Amodei, Elon Musk and Sam Altman now agree that we must slow down the development of AI and “pace the frontier.”
That’s a start, but it’s not enough.
When you are racing towards a cliff, you don’t just ease up on the gas pedal. You hit the brakes.
When the future of humanity is at stake we need a PAUSE on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence — an AI mind smarter than any human and capable of operating independently beyond our control.
At their upcoming AI summit, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.
Immediately post September 2001, the world cooperated, stood alongside, or at least sympathized with the United States to combat terrorism. Today, however, the United States is seen as a selfish, greedy superpower ready to sacrifice anything and anyone to pursue its naked interests. The United States signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) and a Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) with the Republic of Afghanistan. Washington trashed both documents and facilitated the handover of Afghanistan to the Taliban for geopolitical and dark reasons. It literally betrayed the Afghan people and mocked the very standards and ethics that it once championed. Washington continues to suppress the truth and finds it easy to blame the victims i.e. the Afghans. So far, only a handful of former U.S. officials have admitted to their wrongdoing and the act of betrayal, but the establishment remains shamefully defiant and dismissive. They cite corruption as a central factor in the weakness of the republican system. Let’s not forget that the U.S. took 80 cents out of every dollar it gave to Afghanistan back to the United States through prime contractors, which were American companies. The biggest corruption was the dark dealing with the terrorists, in which neither the Afghan republic nor the Afghan people had any role. Doha deal is an indelible stain in the forehead of the United States foreign policy. No matter what they say and how much resources they spend, this infamous and shameful deal is not going to be seen as a peace agreement. The secret annexes of the Doha deal are still kept secret from the public due to their unpresentable and stinky content.
@MagnusAlder9000@owenthcarey Okay... Agree to some extent.... Did ever encounter Jesus Christ? Tell me how did you encounter him in this real world...?
🇮🇱 Smotrich: Christianity is “a religion invented by man”
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has turned to theology, arguing that both Christianity and Islam developed around the assumption that the Jewish people would remain in exile.
On Christianity, he says the Church responded to Israel’s return by changing its theology:
“You know, a religion invented by man can also change its conception.”
Smotrich argues Islam has struggled to make the same adjustment because it lacks Christianity’s centralized ecclesiastical structure.
Calling Christianity man-made is quite a statement from a senior minister in a country whose strongest international constituency includes tens of millions of evangelical Christians.

Minab school: children massacred.
Lamerd sports hall: kids slaughtered.
Kouhestak wedding: children killed with families.
If a power acts like Satan, picks targets like Satan, and kills like Satan, it’s Satan.
Shields a junior Satan that does the same? It’s THE Great Satan.
