I am Muslim, and I think we have been discussing Islamist radicalisation far too comfortably.
We wait for a man to pick up a knife, plant a bomb or open fire. Then suddenly everyone wants to know what radicalised him?
But that is the last chapter.
The story usually begins much earlier. A sense of victimhood is repeated until it becomes identity. A preacher gives that anger religious language. Someone tells a young man that humiliation is not political anymore, it is sacred. Slowly, the world becomes “us” and “them”. By the time violence appears, the argument inside his head may already be over.
This pattern did not disappear with Al-Qaeda. ISIS simply learnt to package it better. Telegram replaced the cassette. Short videos replaced long sermons. The recruiter no longer needs a training camp if he can enter your phone.
And this is the uncomfortable part for Muslims.
No Muslim should be made to apologise for a crime committed by another Muslim. That is absurd.
But we cannot simultaneously say extremists have “nothing to do with Islam” or “terrorism has no religion” and then refuse to challenge them when they use Islamic texts, Islamic history and Islamic vocabulary to recruit.
Governments can arrest terrorists.
Only Muslims can make the radical preacher irrelevant inside a Muslim home.
That fight has been postponed for too long.
Know your real Avengers 🚨
- Captain Smit Machchhar, who fought the attacker and opened the cockpit
- Asaf Redjuan, who rushed at the attacker
- Israeli dad Tzvika Mans, who tied the attacker with a cable so he couldn't move
- Yaniv Hayon, who handled the aircraft and kept it stable
- Dr. Shota Musaev, who treated the captain and stopped the excessive bleeding.
They all worked together and made sure all those 180 passengers landed safely. Truly, men are brave 🙏
If a co-pilot stabs the captain and tries to crash a plane full of Israelis, and your first instinct is “don’t call it terrorism,” you’re not a journalist.
You’re a publicist.
All hijackers are stupid but the extra stupid ones try to hijack a plane full of 180 Israelis all of whom have gone through some of the best military training the world has to offer & an Indian pilot who thinks honor and karma are bigger than his own life. Get well soon Capt'n 🫡
Yasser Arafat, the founder of the Palestinian national, said in 1971 that they invented the Palestinian identity.
This video is dedicated to all the antisemites who support something that was made up 😂😂🤡

In 2015 the EU tried to force Poland to take in migrants from the Middle East and Africa, but Poland REFUSED.
When Belarus started pushing migrants at its border in 2021, Poland didn't let them in and then pay for their housing, food, and healthcare like so many Western countries do. Instead, it built a steel wall more than 100 miles long and put soldiers on it.
Today Polish cities are some of the safest in Europe. People can actually walk around at night without looking over their shoulder. This didn't happen by accident. It happened because their leaders chose their OWN citizens first.
Let’s NOT forget.
2007 : Rajdeep Sardesai airs a program on IBN7 claiming Sohrabuddin encounter was fake
2008 : Rajdeep is awarded Padmashree by Sonia Gandhi’s govt
2010 : Amit Shah arrested in Sohrabuddin case and spends 3 months in jail. He is acquitted in 2014 as it's a fake case.
2018 : Courts declare Sohrabuddin case false. Everyone is acquitted. Many had careers ruined and spent years in jail.
2020 : Rajdeep and 10 other "journalists" apologise in court for fake reporting in 2007.
2025-26 : Rajdeep is tweeting about misuse of agencies. Calls others Godi media. His wife has joined an opposition political party. His cabal says election commissioner to ICC everyone works for Modi.
Our short memory is the only reason they all exist and thrive.
You were duped. Again.
We all saw the “massive” walkout from the UN general assembly. It seemed like Bibi was talking to en empty room. Some journalists even reported that. Even some Israeli journalists made that claim.
Guess what. The media lied to you. Shocked?
Here are the facts.
The footage is real. As Netanyahu walked up to speak, dozens of diplomats got up and left. It looks like most of the world refused to listen to him. Some even called it proof that Israel is now a pariah state.
And now, reality.
More than 120 countries stayed. That's nearly two-thirds of the world.
All five veto powers stayed: the U.S., China, Britain and France.
So did most of Europe. Even Ireland, one of Israel's toughest critics remained.
So who walked out? And why does it look like so many?
Each country gets six seats in this hall, so when one delegation walks out, several people stand up and walk.
And the Palestinian mission had asked countries to bring as many staff as possible and walk out together.
That can make a walkout bigger than the number of countries behind it.
In Europe, Spain was the only major country to leave its seat empty.
In Latin America, Brazil walked out.
South Africa's seats were empty too.
The rest were mostly small Caribbean island nations, which skip most speeches anyway.
Even in the Muslim world, at least two countries, UAE and Bahrain, stayed.
The walkout was real, but most of the world stayed in the room.
Just thought you’d wanna know the truth.
Let me introduce you to Mahboubeh Shabani, a 33-year-old woman from Mashhad received death sentence.
During the January uprising, when protesters were shot and wounded in the streets, Mahboubeh used her motorcycle to take injured people to hospitals.
For this, she was arrested, beaten, held in solitary confinement and imprisoned in Vakilabad Prison.
Now Sepideh Gholian, who was imprisoned with her, says Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court in Mashhad has sentenced Mahboubeh to death.
Her crime? Helping the wounded.
We still have time to act before another life is taken.
#StopExecutionsInIran
A businessman's daughter fell in love with a Muslim boy. She loved him deeply and went against her parents’ wishes.
Worried about her future, her parents discussed the situation with a family friend. Later, both families went on a picnic together.
During the picnic, the friend supported the girl and told her that all religions should be respected and that her parents should consider the marriage.
The girl began to trust this woman and saw her as someone who supported her.
Later, the friend gave her a Marathi translation of Not Without My Daughter and suggested that she read it before marrying someone from a different religious background.
The girl started reading the book around 11:30 PM. A short while later, she came to her friend's room in tears and said she was frightened and no longer wanted to marry him.
The friend still told her to think carefully about whether their love was genuine. She suggested that, if the boy truly loved her, he could consider changing his religion and they could then discuss the marriage with her father.
The girl called the boy and told him about the suggestion. According to the story, he responded with an insulting remark about her.
Those words deeply hurt her. She realized that the person she had loved so much did not see her in the way she had believed.
She decided not to go ahead with the marriage.
