"Conservatism starts from a sentiment that all mature people can readily share: the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created. This is especially true of the good things that come to us as collective assets: peace, freedom, law, civility, public spirit, the security of property, and family life, in all of which we depend on the cooperation of others while having no means singlehandedly to obtain it. In respect of such things, the work of destruction is quick, easy, and exhilarating; the work of creation slow, laborious, and dull." How to Be a Conservative

Inside the Muslim Manosphere Policing Women Online - @WIRED
From Red Pill coaches to “Dawah Bros,” influencers are dressing up hypermasculinity and misogyny in religious language—and finding audiences across social platforms.
The problem is not religious expression online but the use of religious authority—real or claimed—to legitimize misogyny, harassment, and the public surveillance of women. The Muslim manosphere is also not confined to the Arab world. Like the broader manosphere, it crosses borders, languages, and platforms.
Take prominent UK-based creator Ali Dawah, whose channel features street debates and commentary about relationships, gender roles, religion, and Western culture. In one clip, Dawah says he hates Muslim feminists “the most.” In another video, he approaches women in public and challenges them over clothing he describes as immodest.

Dawa bros would be less distasteful if they were like Tablighi Jama'at and focused on Muslims.
But since they're so obsessed with gaining izzat by converting Whites, their work necessarily includes 'refuting' Christianity.
This is not just debate-bro nonsense, it's dangerous: Christianity is a load-bearing pillar of the Western culture that (perhaps foolishly) allows dawa-bros to preach in the first place.
I for one view myself as a guest in the West and would never think to take an axe to its foundations by 'refuting' its foundational religion.
Would we appreciate it if Arab Christians tried to 'refute' Islam in the Muslim world? This is the 'traditional' approach to religious discourse as a minority.

Putting a facade on a prefab concrete block in the former east Berlin. The underlying structure is unaltered; instead, the architects have:
- Given it a coat of plaster;
- Painted it in varying colours;
- Broken up the massing with some clever tricks to the window and roofline detailing.
Look closely: the floor height remains continuous and the windows are all in the same places as before. The effect of spontaneity and variety is created by using ornament create patterns of group and emphasis.

Secrets of The 'Dawah' Sex Cult....
• Use Dawah Bros To Promote Secret Second Wives Online
• Offer Ruqya & Counselling To Find Fresh Meat
• Cite Fiqh Loophole/Sufi Dream/Salafi Fatwa To Justify Halal Hookups
• Pass Around Convert Women To Run Through
• Hotel Misyar Marriage For Divorced Women
• Single Mothers For Hit And Run Nikkahs
• Keep Silent If A Taster Is Exposed
• Get A Misyar Wife For Shaykh To Taste And Silence Him
• Use Comprised Shaykh To Silence Female Victim
• Arrange Private Meeting To Blackmail Simp Whistleblower
• Argue It's "Technically Valid/Halal" To Avoid Accountability
• Blame Feminism, The Devil & Addiction When Asked
• Let Jareers/Kalas Speak To The Negro Simps Otherwise They'll Expose Us!
Remember Women Are Collateral Damage So Don't Encourage Critical Thinking Skills. And Don't Educate Muslim Women Either. We Need To Cover This Up Especially For Tasters Who Fundraise Millions, Even Though They Take Up To 50% of The Raised Funds. The 'Dawah' Cult Needs To Continue!
Don't Be Fooled. Alhamdulillah

The performativity of faith in the era of social media has become a core part of the general Weberian disenchantment of modernity. We now inhabit a world of simulacra haunted by the remnants of the transcendent and the sacred.

We didn't ask for our religion to become a means for troubled young Westerners to express their hatred of their civilization. My religion is not a vehicle for your political grievances.
Also notice they all believe the "fastest growing religion" lie.
Also, why is unqualified growth a boon, do they think Islam a tumor in the West? Is that all they see, a means to destroy?

I clocked this years ago. Tate, Myron, Sneako, and now Milo.
From 2023:
"But his conversion to Islam is telling — not for understanding the milieu he comes from but for the reactions from Muslims, who might have been expected to stand against most of his views and behavior. The fact that they have overlooked his notorious involvement with the far-right shows just how desperate some preachers in the Muslim world are for any legitimation and popularity, however toxic."

"Siz hiç “Türk evi” gördünüz mü?
Geleneksel, zarif, cumbalı tarihi bir konut gördüğümüzde neredeyse hepimizin dilinden dökülen ilk sözcük aynı: “Eski bir Rum evi.”
Gözlem Gazetesi’ndeki köşemde bu hafta, sivil mimarlık tarihimize dair kanıksanmış bu büyük yanılgıyı ele aldım:
“‘Rum evi’ meselesi artık koca bir mite dönüşmüş durumda. Toplum kendi tarihsel kimliğini yalnızca ‘göçebelik’ parantezine sıkıştırınca, bu topraklarda ev ürettiğini ve kent planladığını kendi hafızasından bile kaçırıyor.”
Kendi geçmişimizi yalnızca çadıra ve göçebeliğe hapsedip estetik olan her yapıyı başkasına ait saymak, hem mimarlık tarihi hem de sosyolojik açıdan büyük bir haksızlık. Oysa bu yapılar imparatorluğun çok kültürlü zemininde yan yana üretildi.
Yazının tamamı Gözlem Gazetesi'nde. Keyifli okumalar dilerim.

Something I wish I knew when I was 20
there are entire industries and categories of jobs that are organized on the idea: “the people who hold these jobs are married to someone who pays the bills or they have family money. We don’t have to worry about what a “living wage” for a single person is”
