Arnab Goswami named his son after Che Guevara???? wtf

The obsession is with a warped, transactional understanding what development means. For a sect that believes putting colour changing LED lights on building is a sign of unprecedented progress, trees hold little value. There's no love like the love for money, and cut trees means a pot full.



co intern said "I am toh very anti Muslim 😝" and EVERYONE laughed????????????


"...The Imāms and the Shīʿa, we are told in a tradition ascribed to the seventh Imām Mūsā al-Kāẓim (d. 183/799), were created from a sweet substance (ḥalāwa), which is why they are extremely fond of sweets such as al-ḥalwāʾ..."

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis travels from Pune to Bengaluru by an economy flight of IndiGo Airlines, in line with PM Modi's appeal amid the West Asia Conflict.



Speaks language developed under Pālas and Sēnas follows Bāṅglā calendar started by Śaśāṅka Dēva these low born tribal k@nglus really have identity crisis, no muslim dynasty wrote literature in Bāṅglā, yet these dayus claim Indo-Āryan Identity as theirs

There was a Syrian Shia on Twitter who only had 7 followers, two of whom were my accounts. I used to talk to him every day. This beloved brother deactivated after Syria fell. Now, for the first time, I found a Saudi Shia brother on Twitter, and it made me very happy. Besides the Shia of Lebanon and Iraq, who have great freedom and power, I find the Shia of Pakistan and South Asia the second freest. I would categorize the situation of the Shia of Azerbaijan, Nigeria, and Bahrain in the same category. The third category. Their lives are not usually threatened if they are "very" careful, but they still face oppression. Besides the Shia of Lebanon, it makes me the happiest whenever I see Shia from Saudi Arabia and Syria follow me. It really makes me smile. May Allah protect all of them.




The Sufi missionaries who Islamised Anatolia, Africa, India, and Southeast Asia understood something important that Salafis in the West never did: people do not, in the first instance, come to a religion because it is logically defensible or ritually correct. They come because it is alive, because it offers them something they cannot find elsewhere. The great da'is of history were artists, poets, musicians, healers, and above all human beings of conspicuous moral and spiritual depth. The tradition they transmitted possesses that depth in abundance. The question is whether the gatekeepers of its public face in the West will allow it to breathe.


How I sleep at night knowing that I never condemned Hamas
