@miragechazer101@stendhalist@damncatarina Except Arabs aren’t identifying as Roman, the equivalent to this would be identifying as Rashidun or Umayyad as they’re all polities.
Please think when you make analogies
@minimonsta24@vampchic61@Oasis__45 “Support Iran but against the regime” if they were celebrating when the country was being bombed and people were dying then obviously they didn’t.
Are you retarded?
@QueenofMoist@vampchic61@Oasis__45 Cultural centers and mosques don’t have any political power. That’s like saying a temple in Pakistan means that Buddhists have prominence in the country
@girlyyhe4rt@icuyell The point I’m making is that many of the Hadiths we take as legitimate, including even those in Bukhari (the one I’m referencing is Sahih al-Bukhari 6878), have shaky origins that we don’t study with the historical and political context they were narrated.
@girlyyhe4rt@icuyell provenance, with many courtiers forging hadiths to not only eulogize the founder Al-Abbas but also to justify the slaughter of the Ummayads which was seen as a shocking act of violence, even among their supporters.
@QueenofMoist@vampchic61@Oasis__45 “Many institutions in the global north” no they don’t. Is the equivalent of the Vatican or the countless Protestant Churches in the global North? No. Don’t be stupidly obtuse.
@girlyyhe4rt@icuyell I don’t understand the purpose of the Hadith though. The critique of the Bible in Islam is that it was falsified by later men by Jesus and the Quran is a correction but then we have to take the Hadith, oral narrations by men later than the prophet as equally important scripture
@Sulochanaah@icuyell They’re not very smart. It’s unfortunate really. Saudis doing cultural imperialism across the Muslim world somehow means Arabs colonized 1400 years ago lol
