For me, religion is a private matter, and I believe many Muslims in the West share that perspective.
What I observed yesterday — large public Eid prayers taking place in several Western capitals — was deeply concerning.
Muslims who publicly express their faith in Western countries may not fully appreciate how such displays can be negatively perceived by others.
I would encourage them to consider how they might react if Christians were to regularly hold public prayers in the streets of Muslim-majority countries. Such a comparison may help illustrate why some observers perceive a double standard.
Meet Adam Hamawy, an Egyptian-born former military doctor running as a Democrat for the US House.
Hamawy reportedly volunteered for a Chicago-based non-profit in Bosnia, which was discovered to be a front for the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda, per NYP.
This is who Democrats have running for Congress
President Trump RIPS APART NYC Mayor Mamdani for destroying NYC. 🔥
You cannot tax a city into prosperity. Mamdani thinks he can build a socialist utopia on the backs of hard-working taxpayers, but wealth creators are packing up and leaving.
This is exactly what happens when you let activists run a major city.
If the U.S. agrees to release funds and/or lift sanctions in exchange for the regime reopening the Strait of Hormuz, then Washington will have effectively accepted defeat; and there will be no way to spin it.
I'm losing lots and lots more followers today because I am glad Thomas "Look at ME!" Massie lost.
So I might as well go all in and purge all the freaks from my follower base.
There are hundreds of nations and thousands of interest groups that constantly seek to influence American public policy.
If the only nation doing that which you are bothered by is Israel, and if the only PAC doing that which you are bothered by is AIPAC, and if you drone on incessantly, endlessly and vigorously about Israel/AIPAC and no OTHER NATION OR PAC, rational, intelligent people know why that is.
It's because you are an antisemite.
And if you want to say "Oh you are so wrong, I'm bothered by ALL nations and PACs attempting to influence US policy," but literally the only time you ever mention it in your X feed is in the context of Israel, you are an antisemite.
Don't like that? Want to unfollow me because I said that?
Good.
Beat it.
One of the things that I think people don't understand is that Israel is actually a relatively old country.
And I'm not talking about Talmudic Biblical Israel.
I'm talking about the modern state of Israel, founded in 1948, became the 59th state in the world, and there are now 193 states represented at the United Nations.
That means if you're doing the math, Israel is actually older than 67% of the nations in the world, and that's because so many countries were created just like Israel was—by having colonialist powers, mostly European in origin, draw lines kind of randomly on a map, creating countries out of whole cloth without very much regard for the populations that were being swept up into the newly formulated states.
That's how a lot of states were formed in the '40s, '50s, and '60s in the Middle East. That's how a lot of states were formed in the '40s, '50s, and '60s in Asia, and especially in Africa.
But of course, nobody protests the creation of Cameroon or of Botswana.
Nobody's protesting the creation of Lebanon or Syria or India and Pakistan or Iraq.
Remember, there are 57 Muslim countries in the world and 22 Arab countries with two billion citizens. But the world cannot stomach one tiny Jewish state in its ancestral homeland with only seven million Jewish citizens.
Bill Clinton: “The Palestinians were offered a state. They refused. A state wasn't their goal. Killing Jews was."
This must be shared every single day.
