Saw something that makes me feel like SAIF is doing that thing where you say something is bad, then draw weird boundaries around it to justify when you do the bad thing, not realising that people don't buy it.
Poor people crowding for food = uncivil
Trolling via 🍇 jokes = fine
Malayalam is perhaps the last standing Indian language alive.
Came across മണ്സൂണ് ഇസ് ലാം, a translation by Thomas Karthikapuram of Sebastian Prange's book Monsoon Islam- hard to imagine serious research like this being translated to any other tongue
If you want to convince Muslims to have lab-grown meat, more than these infographics, you need to prove how it can perfectly match in taste with biriyani, kebabs, mandhi and all that, or rather outmatch it.
TIL that Singapore’s Muslim religious establishment has this progressive culture of issuing fatwas on the most critical, cutting-edge matters of the day.
They offer guidance to Singaporean Muslims on matters like consuming lab-grown meat and conducting prenatal testing, and even produce infographics like the one below to explain the rulings.
(Frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing that Singapore is leading the way here rather than any Muslim-majority society, though I assume countries like the UAE aren’t too far behind.)
@Mishikajanam I don't know how people have a specific taste for something that just outclasses everything else. For me almost any genre of music as long as it's nice rolls for me.
It's not a new trend nor any religious crisis, both Muslim men and girls been active in college stuff and beyond for a long time now, they just have more visibility now, and the girls are more easily spotted with the hijab than Muslim men with them.
This whole episode of Kanthapuram still ongoing is crazy. He nor clergy in general have this tight authority on avg religious Muslims as you guys think he does, even with his own followers. Malayali Muslims just moved on after it, but seems everyone else is clutched onto it...
TV debates, spit-offs, challenges, what even is this. 😭 Most of these girls that celebrate openly come from the avg religious family & are okay with it but now you're helping it be into a state crisis. You know why certain sections want this.
As a woman who grew up in Iran, I understand why many Iranian women react so vehemently and viscerally to this gesture of solidarity. Encounters with the morality police were (and probably still are) an all-consuming part of women’s everyday lives in Iran. I completely understand their experience of the hijab as an instrument of state coercion and gendered restriction.
But as an anthropologist of the United States, I also understand the danger of importing that experience into Western contexts uncritically; without reckoning with what the same sign signifies in a different context. In the West, the hijab often indexes membership in marginalized Muslim minorities. Therefore, uncritical, universal anti-hijab critiques can easily reinforce Islamophobic and racist discourses.
The problem is not that Iranian women’s experience of the hijab is false. It is that the hijab’s meaning is neither portable nor universal: its social and political meaning changes with context.
As for this particular gesture of solidarity, these French women are correctly recognizing that the policing of women’s bodies takes different forms. Forcing a woman to wear the hijab and forcing her to remove it are different expressions of the same underlying claim: that others may decide what she can or cannot do with her body. A woman’s attire is hers to choose and so are all her other decisions concerning her bodily autonomy.
Muslim merchants from the Mali Empire were called Imalé by the Yoruba because they were from Mali. Yoruba began applying the term to Yoruba Muslims as well. Portuguese slave traders adopted & applied the term to all Yoruba in Brazil. Hence, famous Malê slave revolt in Brazil
Administrative documents from pre-colonial Marwar reveal how Muslims were often lumped with other low castes, classed as Untouchable and lowly.
A number of castes lobbied the state to intervene to enforce spatial segregation against Muslims, while targeted Muslims usually replied that they had previously lived together peacefully for generations.
My review of a great book:

@youarethekibo Dude really came down in your comments crying with some stupid excuse while seethingly generalizing people like this. He thought he found a loophole to expose his true face.
Et si je disais que ce genre de tweet révèle le biais que bcp de personnes musulmanes non noires ont envers les noirs, considérant inconsciemment que seuls les arabes, les maghrébins ou les sud asiatiques sont musulmans malgré l’existence de millions de musulmans noirs?
1/ There is something deeply concerning about how casually some men use words like sl*t, wh*re, h*e or even zaniyah against women simply because they disagree with them or dislike what they have said
Calling a woman degrading sexual names is not permissible because you are angry
