@Realoilsheikh Imagine being a religious person and calling your fellow human derogatory "kuffs", and we are supposed to believe you wont harm them when you already dehumanized those who arent interested in sharia

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@YorubaFeminist They will defend sharia with their live since they understand it to be from God, attack or criticism of sharia law will be construed to be an attack on islam or God! You cannot make any logical argument against it. THIS IS THE ROOTCAUSE OF ALL ISLAMIC VIO

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@YorubaFeminist because their crave for legal backing isnt coming out of Rational needs, and this is exactly why it shouldnt stand, laws in plural society need to be logically and openly criricized . They belive sharia is from God and thus its perfect even if it provide bad outcomes .

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@beet_kon Another reductionist argument, nobody made you the authority in islam.. several scholars (even in south west) disagree on interpretation and implementation of sharia. There are multiple school of thought in islam.. nobody made you an authority of your version of "true islam"

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@OlajideAlabi1 @kootujirian Legal backing for what? Legal backing will open a can of worms , i already listened to the sermon of iwo mufti... a legal backing will be the end of peacful coexistence we have enjoyed in southwest for hundreds of years . It will create a backdoor for expansion

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@agbagiSultan You just raised a very important point, muslims disagree on many issues regarding depth and implementation of sharia, how do ensure these guys wont hijack it

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Ahmed__Aliyu There is nothing you can do, i was told his tweet is already sent to USCIS and he is profiled.. he wont be able to get VISA to any western country , good thing he use his profile pic

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Opulent_Maisha @lighthousehigh3 What a reductionist argument, "everywhere sharia is practice is funded by US". How do l know proponent of sharia in southwest are not funded by US.. you think islam is a monolithic religion?

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Aheesha_x @JAMES_INQ You accuse other of reducing complex argument, yet you are doing the EXACT same THING
You assume islam is monolithic religion and everyone agrees on what "true islam" means islam is a mo. YOU CANNOT GUARANTEE WILL BECOME OF SHARIA in 20 YEARS in yorubaland

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Aheesha_x @calabardoctor A wise society does not only ask, “Is this legally defensible?”
It also asks, “What can this become in 20 years when politicians, clerics and extremists begin to exploit it?”

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Aheesha_x @calabardoctor So the question is not whether today's advocates have good intentions.
The question is what safeguards exist to prevent future actors, with different interpretations and different ambitions, from expanding or hijacking the system.

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Aheesha_x @calabardoctor not all Muslims support the same vision of Sharīʿah. There are many Muslims who are comfortable with voluntary religious guidance but do not want state involvement or formal legal recognition.

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Aheesha_x @calabardoctor My concern is with the reality that any legal or institutional framework created by human beings can eventually be influenced, captured, or reinterpreted by other human beings

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Aheesha_x @calabardoctor How do we distinguish between the "right" interpretation and the "wrong" interpretation when respected scholars themselves disagree?
My concern is not necessarily with the ideals being presented.

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Aheesha_x @calabardoctor Even among sincere Muslims, there is no universal agreement on what constitutes the proper application of Islamic law. we are told that the problem is not Islam but Muslims failing to practice it correctly, then the next question becomes which Muslims are practicing it correctly?

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@Aheesha_x @calabardoctor I agree but this creates another problem

Who determines what the correct interpretation of Islam is? Islam is not a monolithic faith. There are different schools of thought, different scholars, and often significant disagreements over doctrine, law, and religious authority.

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@IdrisAOni1 The moment you claim you will always be a muslim first over anything else invalidate all of your opinion, you have displayed a sign of Low IQ

[Dr Terry Simpson @drterrysimpson]

No, John. What that table shows is that among matriculants there are differences in average MCAT and GPA metrics between groups. That is not remotely the same thing as proving that whites and Asians are being held to some uniquely oppressive “higher standard.”

And importantly, even the differences people are emotionally reacting to here are often relatively small among already extraordinarily qualified applicants.

A 505–514 MCAT range represents academically elite students by any rational standard. These are not incapable people being dragged through the doors of medicine.

The deeper problem is that many people online keep assuming that tiny differences in standardized metrics among highly qualified applicants cleanly determine physician quality, despite weak evidence for that conclusion.

As someone who has spent decades training physicians and surgeons, I can assure you that medicine rapidly exposes qualities no admissions spreadsheet captures well:
judgment, resilience, leadership, communication, composure, professionalism, empathy, and decision-making under uncertainty.

@0luwademilola Typical nigerians always criticising without asking qustion... yea there are parking provisions all you have to do is request for building plan

[Joseph Lannister @lord_much]

@policywishes @drterrysimpson Dr Simpson answers have been consistent, research shows that patients perfoms better when they get doctors from their own community... it foster public trust... also their admision policy is consistent with ALL applicant, and not just blacks or hispanics
