@Submission2T then to Me is your return so I will judge between all of you in what it was that you disputed." 3:54
Resurrection is a hoax made up by Talmudic rabbis to keep Christian Zionist interest in forever wars. Another hoax is coming of Mahdi. Quran is devoid of any such references.
@Submission2T God said: "O Jesus, I will let you die, and raise you to Me, and cleanse you of those who have rejected, and make those who have followed you above those who rejected until the Day of Resurrection;
@sneako@grok you have consummated marriage with their mothers—but if you have not, then you can marry them—nor the wives of your own sons, nor two sisters together at the same time—except what was done previously. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Quran 4:23
@sneako@grok ˹Also˺ forbidden to you for marriage are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal and maternal aunts, your brother’s daughters, your sister’s daughters, your foster-mothers, your foster-sisters, your mothers-in-law, your stepdaughters under your guardianship if
@DemarJohns47935 Surah Al-Kahf (18:50) states: "And [mention] when We said to the angels, 'Prostrate to Adam,' and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord."
Angels are created from light and the jinns from smokeless fire and have free will
@Jhagra This is zulm. When justice is suffocated to protect the powerful,
when voices of the people are crushed so that parasites keep feeding, then it is not just the ruler who is guilty but every tongue that stays silent and every hand that applauds. Allah may shatter their arrogance.
@maheenghani_ Corrupt authority turns corruption into a system. People are accountable when they accept oppression, follow it, imitate it, or fail to resist it in their capacity. But the ruler is not merely a mirror of the people. He is the greatest public lever, either for repair or for ruin.
@worqas We should heed the words of the Stoic philosopher Seneca about the rise and fall of the Roman Republic: “Increases are of sluggish growth, but the way to ruin is rapid.”
This is simply obscene. Public funds are sacred and every penny used unproductively adds to our debt burden.
@Waqarkhan Its time to start recount of elections '22 in all four provinces. Redemption and better governance lies in real form 47. Hubris has eaten empires. Consider our cricket performance as canary in the coalmine. The decline is widespread and across the board. It can't go on anymore...
@AshtonForbes@briankeating@ProfAviLoeb No less shame in promoting alien stories. Top it up with judeo Christian eschatology of antichrist and Jesus returning and spice it up further with Muslim stories of Mahdi and Armageddon. AI will deliver this script soon to us gullible bunch. Just read chapter 72 of the Qur'an
@SneakoHQ@sneako I urge you to invite Javed Ahmed Ghamidi to your podcast. He's one of the most erudite Islamic scholar and may help clear your views on eschatology. He's in US. You'll get a fresh perspective on the end times fairytales with authentic references from the only unaltered holy book
Kennett Love was a foreign correspondent for the New York Times who spent much of his journalistic career in the Middle East.
Love was in Tehran during the 1953 coup in that country that restored the Pahlavi monarchy to power. Decades later, he was accused of playing a role in these events on behalf of the CIA. Love responded that his actions, which included distributing copies of a decree by the ousted Shah and encouraging tank commanders to attack units stationed near Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh's residence, represented “misguided patriotism”, and that he “never wittingly” assisted the CIA. Nevertheless, several lawsuits launched by Love in US courts to clear his name failed.
Several years later Love covered the 1956 Suez Crisis and Israel’s invasion of Egypt that year. He would later publish Suez: The Twice-Fought War (1969), at more than 700 pages one of the most detailed and comprehensive examinations of these events. It leaves absolutely no doubt about what transpired that year. Israel was not responding to any Egyptian provocations, of which there were none, but rather engaging in a series of violent provocations against Cairo in search of a war.
After Nasser nationalised the Suez Canal, Israel joined forces with Britain and France to launch an illegitimate and unprovoked war of aggression, the purpose of which was to overthrow the Egyptian leader. It was that simple, and suggestions that Israel was in any way defending itself against Egyptian attack or anything else is pure hasbara.
Love devotes much less attention to the 1967 June War, but gets the history right. Once again, the idea that Israel was in any way responding to an Egyptian or other attack, or defending itself against anything, is pure fiction.
Indeed, the fact that Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban on 6 June 1967 provided the United Nations Security Council with a detailed but entirely invented list of attacks against Israel by the Egyptian military and air force, and claimed that these initiated armed hostilities, give Israel’s game away. It was a carbon copy of the Gleiwitz Incident, the false flag Polish attack on Germany, carried out by the SS, that the Nazis used as a pretext to invade Poland in 1939.
Love provides a useful timeline to understand the 1967 June War, reproduced verbatim:
14 May 1967: As Israeli leaders threaten Syria, Nasser reinforces Sinai
16 May 1967: Nasser requests UNEF [the United Nations Emergency Force stationed in Sinai and the Gaza Strip] to withdraw; it complies
22 May 1967: Nasser reimposes Aqaba blockade
26 May 1967: Nasser promises Egypt will not attack Israel but will fight to destroy Israel if Israel attacks
29 May 1967: Nasser says he won’t ask Russian intervention even if US helps Israel
30 May 1967: Jordan joins Egypt-Syria defense pact
3 June 1967: Nasser accepts Johnson invitation to send [Egyptian Vice President Zakariya] Mohyeddeen to US
5 June 1967: Israeli air strikes wipe out Arab air forces; Israel invades Egypt and Jordan
Timelines can of course tell us only so much. The paragraphs below are excerpted from pp. 678-698 of Love’s chapter on the 1967 War:
[Begin Quote] Just as the Suez War of 1956 had its origins in the Gaza Raid of 1955 [Israel’s Operation Black Arrow, in which it killed 38 Egyptian soldiers], so the Suez War of 1967 resulted from a chain of reactions and counterreactions that began with an Israeli raid on 13 November 1966, which demolished the Jordanian [West Bank] village of al-Samu. Eighteen Jordanians died at al Samu and 134 were wounded. Like the Gaza Raid, al-Samu had no convincing justification…
The Security Council censured Israel on 25 November [1966] in the strongest language it had used in ten years, saying such reprisals "cannot be tolerated" and warning of "further and more effective steps." It had no more effect on events than the series of similar Security Council censures [of Israel] in 1955 and 1956…
Ambassador Charles W. Yost of the American UN delegation raised the suggestion in the January 1968 issue of Foreign Affairs that Israel had artfully contrived the crisis that gave grounds for her [1967] attack on Egypt. "It is difficult to see," he wrote, "how any Israeli leader could have failed to foresee that such repeated massive reprisals must eventually place the leader of the Arab coalition in a position where he would have to respond." There is circumstantial evidence that Israel did seek, in 1967 as she had done in 1956, to create a situation favorable for war, particularly in the chronology of Israeli actions which provoked foreseeable Arab reactions. Certainly her territorial objectives, as part and parcel of her war plans, were adopted long before the crisis…
James Reston reported from Cairo to The New York Times on the eve of Israel's attack: "Cairo does not want war and it is certainly not ready for war." Nasser had been led willy-nilly into his predicament by a concatenation of political imperatives that could not have been set in train by anything other than Israel's extraordinary public threats against Syria…
On 26 May Nasser disclosed his promise to Egyptians in a speech. Egypt would not start a war, he said, but if Israel began hostilities, "the battle against Israel will be a general one and our aim will be the destruction of the State of Israel." Western and Israeli newspapers bannered Nasser's statement about the elimination of the State of Israel but they scanted the essential fact that Nasser's deterrent warning was predicated on Israel starting the war, not Egypt… The sensational half of Nasser's statement became a permanent part of the standard propaganda against him. Even in its full context it was by far the strongest statement Nasser had ever made against Israel…
Nasser told Egyptians the month after the war that Egypt had never considered attacking Israel because of fears of American intervention. He said Washington knew in advance of Israel's plans and had deceived Egypt until the war began into believing a non-military solution was in prospect. On 3 June, at Johnson's invitation, Nasser agreed to send one of his vice presidents to Washington to discuss the crisis. Nasser named Zakaria Mohyeddeen, known for his moderation and Western affinities. Mohyeddeen was scheduled to reach Washington on 7 June. He never made the trip because Israel attacked on the 5th…
On the first day of the war Eshkol and Dayan forswore territorial conquest. Two days later, after the fall of Jerusalem, Dayan went to the Wailing Wall and proclaimed: ''We have returned to this most sacred of our shrines never to part from it again." Israel marched swiftly to the Jordan River, completing her conquest of Palestine. By sundown on 10 June Israel had stormed the bunkered Syrian highlands containing the eastern part of the watershed sources of the Jordan, an area that Weizmann had urged Curzon to incorporate into Palestine for the Jewish national home. The third round of the Palestine War was over. And there would be no disgorging.
On the morrow of the war the Israeli leaders, replete with territorial conquests, declared one after another that there would be no return to the old frontiers. Eshkol denounced all the Israeli-Arab Armistice Agreements and vowed to his exultant nation that "the position that existed until now shall never again return."…
Israel's western border is now far beyond Wadi Arish, the Brook of Egypt promised in the Covenant, although her northeastern border is far short of the promised River Euphrates. The most likely area for further expansion is the Litani River basin just beyond the border in Lebanon. This was the river which [World Zionist Organization leader Chaim] Weizmann, foreseeing that the Promised Land would thirst for more water than it possessed, so earnestly begged of Lord Curzon, to no avail…
As a result of the 1967 war there are now 1.5 million Palestinian refugees, two-thirds of the entire nation, and, in addition, 100,000 Syrian and 39,000 Egyptian refugees.
It is with this [Palestinian] nation in exile that Israel must make peace, more than with any other, if she is ever to live in tranquillity. Yet it is with the claim of this people to the national home in Palestine from which it was driven, just twenty-one years ago, after immemorial ages of residence, that the fundamental tenets of Zionism are most irreconcilable…
Israel's Zionist mission to be both a haven and a defender for Jews everywhere required that, whatever Israel's size may be, it must have an unassailable Jewish majority. This undeniably racist requirement that Israel must be, in Weizmann's words, as Jewish as England is English, is proudly asserted by Eban: "Israel will continue to be conspicuously non-Arab in its speech, thought, and shape of mind. Its Jewish connections will be stronger than its links with the Arab environment… The question is not whether Israel will change its special nature, but whether the Arabs will come to terms with Israel as it is." When Eban says: "Immigration was the purpose of Israel's existence; sovereignty was the means which served the end," he is speaking of Jewish immigration and only Jewish immigration. It is this mission which has made Israel expansionist and which makes it impossible for her to achieve a reconciliation with the Arabs, whether of Palestine or any other country…
Israel and her friends in the West have been too ready to forget that when political Zionism was born at the turn of the century, the Ottoman province of Palestine was, to paraphrase Weizmann, ethnically as Arab as England was English. The Jewish minority there was smaller proportionately than that in some of the European provinces from which the Zionists emigrated…
Meanwhile, Israel has become a modern Sparta, pugnacious, beset on all sides, and increasingly violent and short-tempered. [End Quote]
The resonances with 2026 are overwhelming. More than half a century after its publication, Love’s book remains well worth reading, and does much to help us understand the world we live in.
@SohailAfridiISF you have no other option but to close all entry and exit points in KPK for commercial traffic only and with adequate advance warning until the demands are met. Beware, stopping any passenger traffic and movement of people could be counter productive for the cause
