If we’re forced to choose between Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims in today’s geopolitical landscape, then as a former Sunni, I can tell you, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second:

I would choose the Shia every single time.

Hezbollah has devastated Lebanon for over 30 years. They’ve hijacked the country’s sovereignty, dragged it into needless wars with Israel, dealt drugs across continents, and trained militias from Syria to Yemen.

Iran’s regime has exported chaos to the entire region.

I am not here to sanitize the destruction caused by Shia Islam.

But there is no comparison, none, between Sunni jihad and Shia jihad when it comes to the barbarity, monstrosity, and nihilism at their core.

Shia wilāya is a political-theological project rooted in eschatological hope, the belief in a coming world of justice, peace, and divine order under the awaited Mahdi.

This doesn’t make their actions justifiable, but it does mean their violence is directed, however twistedly, against what they interpret as tyrannical regimes or ideological threats.

When they target civilians, it’s typically selective, an assassination of a perceived enemy of the movement, not wholesale slaughter for religious cleansing.

This vision stems from their Muʿtazila-influenced theology, which still gives weight to human reason and moral evaluation alongside the sacred text.

Sunni jihad, by contrast, is a black hole.

It recognizes no moral hierarchy, no ethical filter, no gradation of violence.

There is no distinction between soldier and child, between combatant and teacher, between state and street.

Any non-Muslim, or even any “wrong” kind of Muslim, is a legitimate target.

Bombing a wedding, beheading an aid worker, enslaving Yazidi girls, torching churches, shooting up schools, this is not collateral damage. It is the goal.

Sunni Islam’s dominant theological school, Ashʿarism, rejects reason as a tool for understanding good and evil.

Morality, in this view, is whatever Allah commands, even if it contradicts logic, conscience, or compassion.

If the Qur’an says to kill the unbeliever, then killing is not just allowed, it is good. Period.

This is why Sunni jihadis can burn people alive, blow up their own children, or massacre entire villages, because they believe Allah said so, and that’s the end of the story.

Shia Islam, for all its flaws, is still institutional, hierarchical, and clerically mediated.

You don’t see Shia suicide bombers popping up in random countries every week because violence is still (relatively) controlled from above.

But Sunni jihad is chaotic, decentralized, and viral. Sunni theology is deontological, Shia theology is teleological.

Sunni terrorism is a Frankenstein of Wahhabism, Deobandism, Salafism, and Muslim Brotherhood ideology that teaches followers to reject all modernity, all compromise, and all mercy.

Just talked to a guy from Mauritania. I asked him: can you really go to a slave market in Mauritania and buy a slave or a concubine?

He smiled and said, "No, man, the human rights organizations came to Mauritania and stopped all that in 2010."

I pressed him. He said: maybe in some remote areas.

In Islam, all non-Muslims are to be enslaved if they refuse to convert or pay the jizya, and slave markets are the norm.

Don't let Muslims deceive you by telling you that Muhammad encouraged freeing slaves, the Quran only speaks of freeing Muslim slaves.

If it weren't for the West, the Islamic world would have slave companies listed on the Nasdaq.

Let's make a law to make sure non-Muslims don't grow taller than Muslims of the same gender to preserve the sanctity of Islam as the official religion of the Federation.

I’m at a loss for words. This document, which was approved by the Selangor Exco last year, contains so many restrictions that it feels like it was drafted by KMI supporters.
Just look at the composition of the 11-member Exco: PKR (4), DAP (4), AMANAH (2) and yet the outcome is this. So much for PKR and DAP’s claims of championing multiracial and progressive representation.
Frankly, you would expect a document like this to come from a more conservative Moon Exco, not from this current line-up.
Don’t you agree?
I salute YB Lee for exposing this. If he did not expose this, it would be implemented this year!

On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

This meme becmes incredibly stupid when you think about the Arabic names for Greek philosophers.

Might as well say:

He's Plato, not Aflaṭūn
He's Aristotle, not Aristū
He's Philonides of Laodicea, not Fīlūn al-Lāðiqī

And while you're at it, you might as well tell the Chinese that he's Buddhaghosa and not 覺音

A sheep saw the snake approaching.

“I’ll run away and tell the others about you,” said the sheep.

“Stop causing division,” said the snake. “Don’t be so snakephobic.”

Three days later, the flock of sheep was dead. But at least they weren’t snakist.

中国・林剣報道官が激怒「アメリカ側の誤った言論は、歴史歪曲だ。内政干渉だ。中国側はこれに強い不満と断固たる反対を表明し、すでにアメリカ側に厳正な抗議を行った」

Thirty-seven years ago tonight, the tanks began to roll into Beijing. What started as a peaceful cry for freedom ended in a brutal, state-sanctioned slaughter. The Chinese Communist Party has spent decades trying to erase the memory of Tiananmen Square, but they can never erase the truth.

To this day, "8964" remains the most heavily censored sequence of four numbers in China, scrubbed completely from their internet, yet forever burned into human history.

Watch the raw aftermath in this newly released archival footage, secretly filmed in the days immediately following the crackdown and made public for the first time in May 2026: https://t.co/aaiWaqjeHW

Honor their courage. Tomorrow, the world remembers. Never forget 8964.

@oidonhagouda To Muslims coming to Japan:
At least read your own Qur’an!

[🇯🇵SAIGOU🇯🇵郷田剛士🇯🇵 @oidonhagouda]

Bro, this is actually ridiculous.

During a mountain fire evacuation in Japan, Muslim foreign trainees complained that the bento boxes had pork and mirin, saying they couldn’t eat it.

So the Japanese staff removed the pork and tried to accommodate them.

Meanwhile, Islamic law itself has a rule for exactly this situation.

In emergencies, disasters, or when there’s no halal food available, Muslims are allowed to eat haram things like pork if it’s necessary to survive. They only have to eat the minimum amount needed.

So why the hell are Japanese people the ones being forced to accommodate them?

These people come to Japan, get free food in a disaster, and still demand special treatment while ignoring their own religion’s flexibility.

Why do Japanese always have to bend over backwards for this?

[UnveiledChina @Unveiled_ChinaX]

Using fake invoices, black-market banks, and illicit crypto, China’s wealthy are desperately smuggling up to $1 trillion out of the country to save their fortunes.

A Bloomberg report exposes the sheer panic of China’s elite, who moved a record-breaking $807 billion to $1 trillion overseas in 2025. This historic capital flight is fueled by mounting anxiety over a collapsing property market, a choking economy, and Beijing’s aggressive campaigns targeting private wealth. On paper, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange enforces a strict $50,000 annual transfer limit. In reality, the rich are deploying a sophisticated array of evasion tactics to render the CCP's financial walls completely useless.

The escape routes are as creative as they are desperate. Through a method called "smurfing," or "ants moving house," families pool dozens of individual $50,000 quotas to sneak massive funds past border controls. For larger fortunes, they rely on massive underground banking networks where domestic yuan is handed to a local facilitator and an equivalent payout is made offshore without the cash ever physically crossing the border. Others manipulate international commerce through fraudulent, inflated trade invoices, exploit luxury asset refund schemes in casinos, or bypass the traditional banking system entirely via $16.1 billion in illicit cryptocurrency transactions to funnel cash into global safe havens.

This massive exodus is the ultimate, silent vote of no confidence in the CCP’s economic future. Despite severe penalties, asset seizures, and the explicit threat of prison, China's elite would rather risk criminal prosecution than leave their life savings at the mercy of the state. By treating private success as a threat, Beijing has not stabilized its economy; it has simply guaranteed that its own citizens will stop at nothing to bleed it dry.
