Please retweet this enough so we get these oppressors' attention. An Afghan heart patient went to Pakistan for treatment but then got detained by the police and consequently are being deported. Problem is that they are not being deported fast enough so the heart patient can at least get some relief back home. They are interned in a camp, and are taking their sweet time with deportation.
This is also on the Afghan government. In 5 years (and 20 before that, thanks to the corruption and incompetence of Karzai and Ghani) you don't have a decent cardiology hospital so your people don't get humiliated elsewhere.

The lady doth protest too much.
This 40 year old woman who has never been married or had kids goes on a 3 minute rant about why her selfish behavior has led her to the wall.
She states that men don’t do the choosing. That’s what most women don’t realize is that women choose who has sex and men choose who gets married.
I got married when I was 19 and had a beautiful life until it was taken from me tragically but I encourage all women to marry their first love and have babies or recording TikToks for attention in an empty house will be your future.
Was curious what the top 10 countries with the highest per capital abortion rates are. What's going on in Pakistan??

For more than a year, the governor of Texas, the attorney general, and other Texas politicans have attacked EPIC masjid by name. This past week, Texas Monthly independently published an investigation titled “How Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton Trumped Up Fraud Charges Against a Muslim Community.” In March of last year, Abbott’s office drew up a secret memo listing every law the state could use against EPIC. However, the state’s own securities regulator reviewed 100,000 pages and found no securities violation. Paxton sued us anyway, and when that regulator publicly called Paxton’s claim “a wholly false statement,” he was pushed out of his job. Meanwhile, our masjid has received bomb threats and our own kids are scared to come the mosque. See the full timeline below

Dictionaries have unexpectedly become a topic of interest and importance to me. Old printed dictionaries are more than definitions, but were guides of moral teaching.
James Boswell said that Samuel Johnson “was so attentive in the choice of the passages in which the words are authorized, that one may read page after page of his Dictionary with improvement and pleasure; and it should not pass unobserved, that he has quoted no author whose writings had a tendency to hurt sound religion and morality.”
But today printed dictionaries are dying, replaced by online versions that are easily updatable and, therefore, able to influence of undermine our understanding of important things by their definitions. Words and the exact meaning of things matter greatly.
Besides that, looking up words in my physical dictionary has become such a fun thing to do. I encourage everyone to buy a great dictionary, the oldest one they can find!

This is where we are: people are now describing writing without AI as “manual laboring the words out.” Writing is thinking, and if you’re not doing the work, you’re giving up the ability to think. What I never imagined is how eager many of us would be to abandon thought.
Muslims pointing this out is exhausting. It's like being on the playground and noting that the bully hypocritically mocks you for your appearance but not his own friends.
Duh.
He doesn't like you.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
Reminds me of my conversation with somone running an Arabic institute in Jordan, where State Department employees were being taught Arabic. I asked the guy--a rather strict, practicing Muslim--under what principle he is teaching these folks Arabic, knowing well how the language is weaponized against us. He said "the Hanafis consider the sale of weapon from a Muslim to a Kafir Harbi (those actively fighting us), to be valid. so our teaching is rather an inconsequential thing. The contract is valid akhi". I stood there in awe of his logic. Just because something is valid, does not mean you can or should do it.
Death by a 1000 validities.

Sami Hamdi calls out Israel's historic crimes against humanity, as well as the recent genocidal atrocities they've committed, in a heated debate against a Jewish zionist!

A secularist once told the legendary Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, "hijab hinders progress." Kısakürek fired back: "Why? Did your space satellite get tangled in my mother’s headscarf?" Funnily, Turkey’s biggest tech leaps were built by the sons of hijabi women.

Wow!
This graph depicting the Palestinian vs. Israeli death toll from 1940 to the present shows exactly when the genocide begins - and why it is a genocide...

If you read one thing today, make sure it is this:
In a stunning piece published by the head of one of Israel's most prominent think tanks, Maj. Gen. Tamir Hayman describes the reality of Israel's new security doctrine:
A few crucial principles he describes:
1. The United States is a “declining power” and, given its ongoing social and political shifts, will soon abandon Israel in any event. This is compelling Israel to move toward greater self-reliance in order to avoid "excessive dependence" on the US since it "exposes Israel to the influence of a progressive American value system that is incompatible with Israel's Jewish character."
Then he concludes: "Severing ties with the United States is therefore not only inevitable, but essential to Israel’s independence and the resilience of its Jewish national identity."

There’s not a war on this planet that the United States should be involved in right now, monetarily or militarily.
The death penalty as a consequence of offending the state and employed at its discretion is different from the death penalty as a consequence of violating divine law and at the discretion of the family of the victims.
Everyone is criticizing @Pontifex for being against the death penalty and calling him weak and Liberal.
St. John Paul II was shot multiple times and forgave his attacker while still in the hospital, later advocating for his pardon.
