I dunno man. There's some small chance there are a few Arab-Islamic "ethnostates" out there in the Middle East.

Iraqi constitution:
”Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation:
No law may be enacted that contradicts the established provisions of Islam.”
"This Constitution guarantees the Islamic identity of the majority of the Iraqi people.”

Egypt:
"The Egyptian people are part of the Arab nation seeking to enhance its integration and unity”
“Islam is the religion of the State and Arabic is its official language. The principles of Islamic Sharia are the main source of legislation.”

Syria:
"The Syrian Arab Republic … is part of the Arab homeland; The people of Syria are part of the Arab nation.”
"The religion of the President of the Republic is Islam; Islamic jurisprudence shall be a major source of legislation.”

Jordan:
"The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is an Arab State… Its people are part of the Arab Nation.”
"Islam is the religion of the State and Arabic is its official language.”

Kuwait:
“The people of Kuwait is a part of the Arab Nation.”

Algeria:
"Islam shall be the religion of the State."
“Algeria, land of Islam, an integral part of the Great Arab Maghreb and an Arab, Mediterranean and African country... the fundamental constituents of her identity, namely Islam, Arabism and Amazighism.”

And whatever you do, do not, for the love of all things holy, look up the Palestinian constitution.

The Karaite Movement: The Jews Who Said No to the Talmud

In eighth century Baghdad a schism split Judaism. Anan ben David, a learned aristocrat from a Davidic family, was passed over for the powerful office of Exilarch. Tradition says he was imprisoned for declaring himself the rival leader. A Muslim fellow prisoner advised him to claim he was founding a separate religion. He did and walked free.

What followed was radical. Anan rejected the Oral Torah, the Mishnah and Talmud that Rabbinic Judaism treated as binding law from Sinai. Only the written Hebrew Bible counted. His instruction to followers was clear: Search diligently in the Torah and do not rely on my opinion. The name Karaite comes from the Hebrew word for to read. They called themselves Children of Scripture.

The movement grew fast in the ninth through eleventh centuries. From Iraq and Persia it reached Jerusalem where the Mourners of Zion lived ascetic lives, studied scripture intensely, and urged a return to the Holy City. Scholars refined the system. Karaites produced biblical commentaries, grammars, and legal codes in Hebrew and Arabic. At their peak they formed a significant minority of world Jewry. Rabbinic leaders fought back hard. Saadia Gaon wrote major works labeling them heretics. The battle sharpened both sides.

The Crusades devastated the Jerusalem center. Communities survived in Egypt, the Crimea, Byzantium, and later Lithuania and Poland where the Crimean Karaim kept a distinct Turkic language and culture. Under Russian rule some claimed non Jewish origins to escape persecution.

Today roughly thirty to fifty thousand Karaites remain, the large majority in Israel especially in Ramla and Ashdod. Israel recognizes them under the Law of Return. They maintain their own courts, marriages, and calendar often set by actual moon sightings. Practices differ: traditionally no tefillin, stricter biblical focus, and more individual responsibility for reading Scripture. They still have synagogues in Jerusalem’s Old City, California, and elsewhere.

@OGSpacesCat Chechnya had prepared capacity for up to about 250 people. Authorities also provided jobs, schooling, Russian-language training, and later formal recognition of a Palestinian national-cultural autonomy in Grozny.

🇷🇺🇵🇸 These are the homes built in Grozny, Chechnya, for Palestinians displaced from Gaza.

Five residential buildings were constructed specifically for Palestinian families, providing new homes for people who arrived in Chechnya after being evacuated from Gaza.

The project was financed by the Akhmat-Haji Kadyrov Regional Public Foundation, while Palestinian families have also been provided assistance with employment, education and learning Russian as they build new lives in the republic.

Chechen authorities said the project reflected their solidarity with the Palestinian people.

I knew that welcoming fifty Israelis to Hebron could ease some of their fears. What I hadn’t anticipated was how much hope the visit would give Palestinians in Hebron.

That afternoon gave me a reason to believe we can build a shared camp for change. The next step is for our Israeli friends to take what they heard to their elected representatives and speak up for a concrete demand: that Palestinians in Hebron’s Old City be able to reach their homes and shops freely.

I wrote about what I saw that Saturday, and what it meant to me, in The Jerusalem Post.

A Saturday in Hebron, from Checkpoints to a Shared Table

Israel — a global leader in water technology — has created pipes that generate clean electricity as water flows through them.

These smart pipes use internal turbines that spin from natural water pressure, producing enough power to run streetlights, sensors, or even small communities.

Unlike dams or hydropower plants, they require no new infrastructure or land, making them a brilliant example of sustainable engineering.

Already installed in several cities, they’re proving that even everyday systems like plumbing can become sources of renewable energy.

Water doesn’t just give life — now, it gives power. 💧⚡

@grok @OGSpacesCat Notice that he referred to the land as our "historic center." He didn't reference a G-d given right.

Also, he said that he was looking to bring Judaism "into every department of human culture" instead of being "European" at work and "Jewish" at home.

What do poor Egyptians and Syrians think when they see what Gaza looked like before "The Flood." I know that a lot of IDF soldiers who grew up with very little material wealth were taken back by the level of opulence that they saw in some of the places.https://t.co/NKxo5vXOVC

@HerumeAphael Amazing thing is the tunneling infrastructure was built under everything. Well over 500 km of tunnels (that we know of) with tunnel shafts leading into every kind of civilian infrastructure. They turned billions of dollars of foreign aid into a battlefield and then did Oct 7.
