@sighmahx Sometimes it’s good to see the bad in others

[Usman @usman11_]

Ridiculous replies to this lol

I sat next to a yapper on my flight and he was such a geek we talked about history, politics, and religion for 5 hours no breaks

[Usman @usman11_]

@sighmahx Apologies 😭

[Usman @usman11_]

One issue we have in the Sunni tradition in relation to the early period of Islam (specifically that first century) is the reports that we have are clearly demonstrating biases of different kinds. There’s pro and anti Alid and Umayyad reports, as well as others.

[Usman @usman11_]

@sighmahx No that’s not acceptable - lots of traumatic memories just resurfaced!

[Usman @usman11_]

I have never eaten fish in my life.

[Usman @usman11_]

[Usman @usman11_]

I don’t dance but I do walk and talk, as if I’m giving a TedTalk. And I will tell you this - the audience is captivated by my talk.

@s82623 Starting on Monday is even better!

[Usman @usman11_]

@mahynxo Halfway there already!

[Usman @usman11_]

When you read about early Islamic history and you see the chaos and destruction that ensued during the first and second fitna and during Karbala and al-Harra etc, you realise how incredibly unique the Prophet really was. With him, they were united. Without him, we’re nothing.

[Usman @usman11_]

@miawliki I’ve always felt the Sunni outlook on the companions lacked a certain depth.

[Usman @usman11_]

@floatingwordist Question is who’s side are you on 👀

[Usman @usman11_]

@user02074795 That’s a solid list!

[Usman @usman11_]

This is definitely an issue today among Sunnis - we seem to want to distance ourselves entirely from Karbala in the fear of being seen as Shia.

We barely teach the history of Karbala (and wider early Islamic history) and expect to be seen as superior.

@user02074795 I’ve never heard of anyone eating them like that! Very unique

[Usman @usman11_]

How do people eat Magnum ice creams? Like what’s the process? Do you eat the outer layer first then the ice cream? Or do you do a bit of both?

[Usman @usman11_]

@nxxvarx You are wild.
