I am not interested in muslim individuals or groups whose obsession is to spread takfir allegation to as many muslim as possible. This is not the way of da’wa going forward. The only reasonable way for the future is to develop an all-embracing inclusive theology.

Anyone wondering why I'm criticizing Israel a lot today...

Your Defense Minister just said this:

"We have flattened the entire first line of villages in southern Lebanon, all the houses have been destroyed. The residents will never see them standing ever again. The 200,000 Lebanese residents who were in the 'security zone' are never returning again. Not one of them will ever return to southern Lebanon"

Your Minister of National Security said this:

"For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn."

And that's just today. You think this is normal?

This is a good sign that speaking up against genocidal acts of Israel is no longer anathemised. This is good.

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.

And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

Ini yg harus menjadi renungan umat Islam di manapun. 👇

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me.

Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so.

Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to.

Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions.

Why?

If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others.

Truth does not need censorship.

If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher.

You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home.

The double standard needs to be called out.

Sith all due respect to Mr. Zinsser, I dont like this writing advice and technique which put premium value only on “functionalism”. IMHO, this is American way of doing writing which stresses pragmatism. In philosophy and various fields of humanities, this approach doesnt work.

William Zinsser taught writing at Yale, then wrote the book that has fixed more bad writing than every English class combined.

Here are 10 cuts from "On Writing Well" that instantly make your writing twice as strong.

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

'Greater "israel"' is a jewish biblical vision rooted in scriptures such as Genesis 15:18.

In mainstream jewish theology, the territorial covenant of the 'Promised Land' belongs exclusively to jews.

This includes Palestine, Jordan, and parts of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

The realisation of this vision would involve the murder and or displacement of at least 60 million non-jews, specifically mostly Muslim and Christian natives.

This equals to 8 murdered or ethnically cleansed non-jews for every 1 jewish resident.

It would create the largest refugee crisis in human history.

All of this is based on an interpretation of jewish scriptures that no other nation or religion agrees with.

This is religious supremacy.
