Monotheolingualism: coemergence of monistic imaginaries of religious identity, language, and politics in Colonial India was a major obstacle in the way of unifying Muslims in the subcontinent. The idea of one language (urdu/bengali), one nation (Western influenced nationhood)

The enlightenment political philosophers seriously suspected the jewish inclusion into the nation-state's citizenship system, their loyalties to the state and submission to its nationalist interests were always doubted because jews had their own, completely separate political theology as well as internally constructed socio-economic communal traditions for their own theological interests, and thus would never get loyally integrated into the nation-state paradigm and its culture or prioritise it. So one of the reasons of anti-semitism in the west was therefore, that jews always had their own parallel structures of socio-political operations that worked independent of the nation-state logics, they were always nation within a nation or a political body unaffected by nationalist identity constructions, and refused to alter their political theology for modern secular-nationalist politics.

@husnayn_ Feel like this also applies (to an extent) to twelvers (post 1979) in Sunni majoritarian states like Pakistan.

@hudayful Devji's scholarship seems to be important / influential but also contested / controversial from what I've seen so far.

DO NOT touch that keyboard. This is one of the most dangerous attacks circulating right now.

This is called a ClickFix attack. It is not a CAPTCHA. It is not a verification step. It is a social engineering attack designed to make you execute malicious code on your own machine while believing you are proving you are human.

Here is exactly what happens if you follow those steps.

The fake page has already silently copied a malicious PowerShell command to your clipboard without you knowing. It happened the moment the page loaded. You did not click anything. You did not consent to anything. The clipboard was written to in the background by JavaScript running on the page.

When you press Win + R you open the Windows Run dialog. When you press Ctrl + V you paste that malicious command directly into it. When you press Run you execute it with your own permissions on your own machine. No exploit needed. No vulnerability needed. You did it yourself. Willingly. While thinking you were completing a CAPTCHA.

The payload varies. Researchers have documented ClickFix delivering infostealers, remote access trojans, and credential harvesters. The malware executes instantly and silently. By the time the Run dialog closes the damage is done.

The reason this attack works so well is threefold. The fake CAPTCHA looks visually identical to a real one. The instructions sound technical and therefore trustworthy. And critically, you are the one executing the command so endpoint security tools see a legitimate user action rather than an automated attack.

Real CAPTCHAs never ask you to open Run dialogs. Real CAPTCHAs never ask you to paste anything. Real CAPTCHAs never give you keyboard shortcuts.

If a webpage ever asks you to press Win + R for any reason, close the tab immediately.

Every ethnonats holy book, apparently, is the British Gazettes.

“the formation of Muslim identity means the paramountcy of Shari'a as the ruling ethic of human behavior. There is no Muslim identity without this (Shar'i) ethic.”

Pakistani mangoes are so elite they actually caused/played a vital role in Chinese cultural revolution.

You can read about it in this Thread.
