[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

Evil detests beauty because beauty is proof of a transcendental order, of objective Goodness and Truth.

To attack beauty is to wage war against the possibility of transcendence.

Beauty is a great affront to nihilism. It testifies to that which is greater than the individual, because to create a beautiful thing is to acknowledge that you are answerable to standards higher than your own. Beauty is often called a great evangelist for this reason.

This is why they outright destroy beauty or try to subvert your perception of it by promoting ugliness or triviality. Beauty is neither neutral nor trivial — your ability to discern the beautiful from the ugly is intimately connected to your capacity to recognize the divine.

Dietrich von Hildebrand once declared that "beauty is the archenemy of mediocrity." Why?

Beauty elevates a person toward truth, goodness, and the divine. The antitheses to beauty drag the soul down into nihilism and worship of the self.

@Libertymama888 @AdamMilstein Islamic fundamentalists, fgm supporters, gender apartheid advocates, Christian,Jewish,LGBT hating islamists are not welcome in Europe neither than-happy? Jews contribute to science, technology,medicine & academia more than two billion Muslims combined. Enough of yr antisemitism.

Hey, @EmmanuelMacron 👋🏼🤡

500,000 Iranians took to the streets protesting in Toronto
250,000 in Munich,

and many other cities across the world were protesting against the very same terrorists you legitimize and aid for the past 48 years.

Not a single glass was shattered.

Not one shop was looted.

Not one church or synagogue was burnt.

Not a single piece of litter on the streets.

Police received flowers and hugs.

Take some responsibility for once, you dung gobbler.

🔴 Day 1,856 since secondary age girls were stopped from going to school in #Afghanistan.

The Taliban has forbidden young girls from entering classrooms - and their social exclusion continues beyond these spaces as well.

This is not right or fair. It has been more than five years. Let Afghan girls learn.

You are not forgotten.

@Joyenz1 @Stormy_NAFO @koshercockney Syrians are/were more secular than most people realise. So no, within the specific context of Tr, it is more by state policy rather external influences.

@spectator Omg! This is shocking news.

99% of women and girls in Somalia have been mutilated in the following way: the clitoris is cut off, along with the inner labia. Then the inner flesh of the outer labia is removed before both sides are sewn tightly together, leaving a hole no bigger than a matchstick for urine and menses to trickle through.

All of this is done in childhood, and without any form of anesthesia whatsoever. Sometimes the little girl is given a scrap of leather or a stick to bite down on. The cutters use old razor blades, or sometimes a piece of broken glass.

This is only the beginning of a girl’s pain.

Most wedding nights in Somalia are aided by “the little knife” — that is, the new husband slices his bride open so that he can penetrate her now cut and bleeding scar tissue. Some men, however, simply batter their way through, tearing that tiny hole open by sheer force. When a woman goes into labor, she’s cut open more widely, then sewn back up afterwards so that when sex resumes she will have to be cut open yet again.

This practice leads to countless deaths from infection and a drastic increase in maternal mortality, but Somali men still refuse to marry uncut women, forcing mothers to have their daughters cut or face social stigma. Uncut girls are seen as dirty; the term for clitoris is a playground taunt in Somalia, and girls who are not cut are usually ostracized by their peers.

The Somali government recently debated the legality of this appalling custom, and the parliament largely split along gender lines. Female MPs roundly condemned FGM, while male MPs insisted that having a clitoris made a woman more difficult to penetrate, and quoted the hadith in which Muhammad condoned the practice. These are educated men who nevertheless claim that cutting a girl is necessary in order to control her sexuality, and that an uncut woman will be promiscuous and untrustworthy.

In spite of the Somali government’s continued support for FGM, foreign aid continues to flow into Somalia unobstructed. The West should refuse to give the Somali government so much as a single dollar until they outlaw FGM and take positive steps to combat the problem.

One tactic that has been highly successful involves showing Somali men a video of a girl being mutilated. Because FGM is seen as women’s business, most men have no idea what it entails. Men who watch this video are horrified, and the most common reaction has been “Not my daughter!” This proves that FGM is not hopelessly entrenched in Somali culture. Western pressure and resources could make an enormous difference in the lives of Somali women and girls, and put a stop to this barbaric practice.

Stop #FGM now! #FGM is murder.
#FGM is rape.

@TheAliceSmith Multiculturalism works in general; we cannot claim otherwise based on a single insular group.

[Alice Smith @TheAliceSmith]

One reason why multiculturalism failed is its shallow interpretation of culture.

Culture isn’t curry and clothes.

Culture is values, worldview, history, ideas, religion, rules, beliefs, norms, laws, traditions, language, the ingrained habits and instincts of a hundred generations.

Different cultures = different peoples

Thank you, Poland for giving visa to these beautiful woman.
Look at these two faces. One was burned with acid for fighting the Taliban. One was blinded for shouting freedom in Tehran. Now look again. These are the faces the regimes feared most.

Fahimeh is from Afghanistan. Her husband threw acid on her face because of her activities against against the Taliban and told her: now I have taken your eyes and your face, people will be scared of you, so I dare you to go out and talk to people.

I invited them to come on stage with because I want to dedicate my award to these real activists.

She met Kosar, an Iranian woman who was blinded by the Islamic Republic during the Woman life Freedom uprising.

Thank you Poland for giving us visas.

I am taking these two women to Auschwitz before they go on stage.

They will stand on stage in Poland, the face her husband wanted to hide speaking to thousands. I do not see victims. I see heroes. They are not fighting for themselves. They are fighting to protect democracy everywhere from the most dangerous cancer, which is called Islamism.

Meanwhile, women sit on death row in Iran right now, waiting for the gallows. Women are being erased from every classroom, every job, every public street under the Taliban. And the whole world is quiet. Where are the women's marches? Where is the outrage?

This is why I call on universities across Europe and America: open your doors to these heroes. Invite them. Let the new generation of the West hear the truth from women who paid the price of freedom with their eyes and their faces. Books cannot teach what they have lived.
