@MrAdamPLII@mjazoe_ The agency of countries like Yemen, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon etc. is vastly different to those in the Gulf regions, partly due to Western interference and if they prove resourceful to the West. Iran is a targetted country, but this war will displace a large number of citizens.
@MrAdamPLII@mjazoe_ The point exactly. People from the UAE, Qatar, Saudi etc. don't necessarily move to the West because their countries already have stable economies built over time from primarily Western oil clientele. Countries smaller in the ME have resources, but it depends on their submission.
The dumbest PR strategy: immediately blame the Left for Charlie’s murder absent a shred of evidence. Say a trans furry did it acting alone and try to drum up a political war.
When that fails because conservatives aren’t dumb— pivot, run to a leftist publication and accuse the right of dangerous conspiracies.
Sorry, but there’s no place for you hacks to run. The Left and Right are actually united in our disgust for what you attempted to do in the wake of Charlie’s assasination and for what his organization has become.
🇺🇸🇮🇱Last year, Melina Suarez served in the IDF and posted a photo with prayer beads looted from Palestinians.
Today, she is a police officer with the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Police Department in Oregon, USA.
How can one serve both Israel and the U.S?
How can she even be trusted with any supervision over people when we heard of all the warcrimes the IDF has committed?
I'm English. I was born here. I have a British passport. This is my homeland.
Unless you are a native British person—of English, Scottish, or Welsh descent—please stop saying this.
A British passport makes you a British citizen. It does not change your lineage or your roots.
As an Arab Muslim who is proud of my Jordanian descent and Palestinian ancestry (a pride of gratitude to God for my roots, not the prohibited arrogance of Asabiyyah/tribal supremacy), I find it sad seeing this from other Arabs (Muslims and Christians) and other Asians.
You can love and respect the land you were born on or live on and its natives. I love Britain and have respect for its people. It is natural and good to feel a belonging. But you do not have to claim another native identity to assert your civic rights.
It is also just wrong.
Especially if you are Muslim—your nasab (biological lineage) and asl (fundamental origin) do not change based on where you are born.
There is a difference between mawlid (birthplace), mansha' (where you are raised), and asl (fundamental root).
The word asl literally means the root of a tree.
If you take a seed from a Jordanian palm tree and plant it in the soil of London, the tree that grows is still a Jordanian palm tree by asl.
It is nourished by English soil, it breathes English air, and its physical location is Britain, but its asl (its genetic blueprint and foundational nature) remains entirely tied to its seed. It can never become an oak tree.
Every citizen deserves the protections guaranteed under the contract of citizenship. But you never need to falsify your origin, nor do you ever need to wrongly claim or erase another native identity to be heard.
@NordicHobbit@chaoticjewish@elicalebon This website seems incredibly skewed towards a certain bias. From a search myself, I've found that taqiyya is the act of concealing one's faith to guard oneself from imminent threats of injury, persecution, or death. Which is correct then?
