You may have noticed I’ve been quieter than usual. Someone whose love, strength, and quiet wisdom shaped the very core of who I am is no longer with us, and the loss has left me in pieces. I’ll find my footing again soon, just allow me a little time. It’s very hard. 😭

@theliamnissan To read more about the war in Ukraine. I had friends with clothes and food for refugees on the border, wanted to know faster than the other apps what is going on. We still watch on TV most of the news from here (twitter) after 1-2 days.

For a number of years, more than 20 years ago, I worked for a Pakistani owned business and lived in a Muslim dominated area of Manchester. I understand why Nick feels this way, and those railing against it in the name of diversity are ignoring that Islam is aggressively intolerant of other religions. I have many years of personal experience with both immigrant and British born Pakistanis. There was no real difference. Islam is the one true faith and all others are "kafir". It's a far more exclusive religion than others, there is no interest in diversity of faith. You are Muslim, or you are "kafir". This was highlighted to me on the day of 9/11. It was early in the morning, around 9am, and cheers started echoing down the corridors. Word started to spread and they were all grinning and clapping each other on the backs. These were men and women born and raised here for the most part. The owner wheeled in a big CRT TV and 30-40 of them gathered around BBC news laughing and cheering like Pakistan were in the cricket world cup final. It is not hard to see why large public prayers by followers of a religion perceived as hostile to your very existence can feel less like worship and more like an assertion of dominance. I'm sure there are many good, tolerant Muslim people in this country who mix Western ideals with the muslim faith. People that consider themselves British among all else. But I learned that day that there are less than you think.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

Mă gândeam în dimineața asta la diareea verbală a domnului nostru CălinGe de la Kremlin, încercând să îmi explic dacă fracturile de logică și non-sensurile alea vin dintr-o nevoie de a părea profund sau din convingerea că toți ceilalți sunt foarte, foarte proști. De exemplu: “Știți de ce mănâncă omul? Nu ca să aibă energie. Ci ca să dea de mâncare la paraziți.” Ce înseamnă asta? Nu știu, probabil că oamenii conțin și multe microorganisme și, atunci când consumi mâncare, le hrănești și pe alea. Dar în realitate nu de asta mănânci. Sigur, când mănânci rahat lucrurile se schimbă. Și da, atunci probabil cu panseurile tale hrănești niște paraziți. “Școala este doar o pușcărie pentru dresaj.” - este o altă mantră mai puțin cunoscută a domnului nostru CălinGe. Și da, se vede că real el asta crede. Nu i-a plăcut școala, că, dacă i-ar fi plăcut, azi făcea ceva util pentru lume sau și-ar fi crescut și educat, ca orice om ajuns la vârsta a treia, nepoții. “Muncim pentru a fi săraci.”- ne mai spune domnul CălinGe, căruia Dumnezeu îi plătește facturile de la firma de bodyguarzi și de la vila șmecheră din Mogoșoaia. Și probabil cu asta are dreptate. Că eu muncesc de când eram mică și nici acum n-am de niciunele. Deci da, dacă alegi să muncești, o să fii sărac. “Dacă am ști limba română bine și am înțelege limba bătrână, atunci am ști că Apocalipsa în limba bătrână înseamnă “apucă lipsa”. - e cea mai recentă descoperire din palmaresul domnului nostru CălinGe. Nu știu ce e aia “apucă lipsa”, în ideea în care nu înțeleg de ce m-ar interesa să apuc ce nu e. Dar asta e o preferință a mea. Interesul meu e setat asupra “limbii bătrâne”. Învăț de când eram mică și citesc săptămânal cel puțin o carte. N-am auzit și nu am citit în viața mea de limbi bătrâne, ci doar de limbi vechi. Dar aia e, învățăm până la moarte. Și dincolo de ea, ca să fiu în spiritul domnului nostru CălinGe. Oricum, sunt perfect sinceră cu voi: nu el mă sperie, ci mulțimile care chiar cred că demonstrațiile astea de prostie sunt, de fapt, profunzimi.

If you want to understand how Islamization of a country happens, there are actually two great, modern examples. Lebanon and Iran. Lebanon and Iran didn’t suddenly “collapse" one day. They were methodically reshaped. Lebanon was founded as a Christian country. It had a system that was built on a frozen moment in time. In 1932, Christians were just over half the population, so every part of the state was designed around that reality. President, parliament, military; all allocated by that snapshot. The problem? The snapshot never changed, even as the country did. Over the next few decades, the Christians who built Lebanon slowly left. They were the most educated, and also the most mobile. At the same time, the Islamic rural communities grew faster demographically and became more politically active. Then came waves of Palestinian muslims expelled from Jordan, who plunged the country into civil war. By the time the war ended, the balance the country depended on was already broken. Every militia disarmed after the war, except one. Hezbollah didn’t need to “take over” Lebanon in a dramatic sense. It just filled the vacuum. It built its own welfare system, kept its weapons, and tied itself directly to Iran. From that point on, real power didn’t sit with the state. It sat with the most organised force inside it. And that was the Islamists. Iran shows a different path. This path was faster, but built on the same principle. The Shah tried to modernise Iran rapidly, but in doing so, he crushed every organised opposition group through his security apparatus. All except one. The mosques. So when unrest hit in the late 1970s, there was only one network left that could actually mobilise people at scale. Khomeini used that network to unite a coalition that didn’t agree on anything except removing the Shah. And once the Shah was gone, that coalition stopped mattering. Within two years, the same groups including leftists that helped bring down the regime were either imprisoned, or executed. What replaced it was a theocracy built by the only organised structure left standing. Islamism. That’s the pattern in both cases. Lebanon changed because its demographics shifted and one group out-organised the rest. Iran changed because every alternative was crushed, leaving one network to take everything. Both countries today serve as a warning to Western countries facing its biggest civilizational challenge.

@sofia_covaci @CamyDumitrescu @GGabipac Se ivește un paradox aici. Nu îmi place trumph. Dar cred că atacarea Iranului are mai multe conotații decât înțelegem acum. Cred că este o nouă cruciadă, creștini vs islam. Vs stânga deșănțată. Iran NU este islam. DAR îl finanțează.

Nu mai pot zice de multă vreme că mă aștept să mă mai surprindă ceva. De fapt, pot spune că mă aștept la absolut orice. Dar tot e straniu pentru mine să citesc postările liderului SUA în care găsesc teme precum: “Mă bucur că a murit!” Pe scurt, pentru cei care nu știți, Trump se bucură că a murit fostul director al FBI, Robert Mueller. Probabil l-a deranjat și pe el, ca pe orice patriot american, ideea de a ancheta implicarea Rusiei în alegerile din SUA. Știm prea bine că Rusia nu e așa nașpa și Putin e băiat de comitet. Nu e normal să deranjezi acolo unde nu e cazul, știți ce zic? Am mai văzut că domnul Ponta al nostru se referă la niște adversari politici în termeni de “neoameni”. Și domnul CălinGe se referă la adversarii Moscovei ca la “păduchi” și “șobolani”. Vedeți cum coboară discursul public? Vedeți cum se deteriorează ideea de “om”? Vedeți cum efectiv omul devine acest element discutabil, care ajunge să îmbrace forme abjecte, precum neoameni, șobolani, păduchi, de moartea cărora te poți bucura public? Și a căror moarte nu contează oricum… Simțiți normalizarea discursului urii? Simțiți cum a devenit normal pentru noi toți să ne referim la “marș” ca la ceva banal, precum “bună ziua!”? Simțiți cum nu mai e nimic strigător la cer în a judeca victimele unor abuzatori cu vocea blândă, pentru că, nu-i așa, nici victimele nu prea sunt oameni, nu? Și le privim cu dispreț, pentru că ne disprețuim pe noi înșine mai întâi. Și apoi ne întrebăm dacă mai e mult până ne facem bine la loc. Păi, în condițiile astea, ne trebuie cel puțin două generații normale la cap care să repare ce au stricat niște indivizi cu reale probleme de raportare la realitate, ajunși, pe un fond de uriașă frustrare, la butoanele puterii. Și, în condițiile date, parcă e și riscant să te gândești la rezolvarea cu timpul a problemei. Parcă singura soluție e să se înfăptuiască răul ăla pe care îl tot invocăm și apoi, cine scapă viu, să pună cărămizi la temelia unei lumi sănătoase. Eu, în privința acestei lumi, am lăsat deja orice speranță.

@ToruUmar @basedinmalibu The prayer should be in the mosque. Or church. NOT in public places. Do not compare yoga with that act of public prayer, witch is a political statement. Islamic statement.

Umar Toru@ToruUmar·
Then let’s actually stick to “equal standards”because that’s EXACTLY where your argument falls apart. Public spaces are used for group activities all the time… be it protests or yoga classes or concerts or parades and even for random gatherings. As long as it’s legal and permitted, no one calls it “taking over the city” .. so why does it suddenly become a problem when the activity is Muslim prayer? You say it’s about “scale and setting” and not religion.. but the reaction clearly isn’t the same across the board. That’s the inconsistency I am pointing out… and no, bringing up Gaza wasn’t to “JUSTIFY” anything.. it was to challenge the idea that people quietly praying are somehow a source of fear. If fear is the concern then it should at least be applied proportionally to actual threats and not peaceful behavior.. also, as far as antisemitism is concerned, no one is denying it exists, and it should be condemned… I, as a Muslim, outrightly condemn it.. but it doesn’t exist on a scale as large as is being portrayed or as it was back in the time of hitler.. also, calling out one form of bias doesn’t mean we ignore another.. Again.. my question is simple and it is that if a permitted group activity in a public park is fine in every other context then why does it become unacceptable here??

Q: Why doesn't Europe tell Trump: "If you want assistance in the Gulf, here's what we want you to do on Ukraine"? ​STUBB: Good idea. I might pick you up on that. (Laughter) ​STUBB: No, I think, it's actually a really good idea. (Laughter) Q: I'm available for advice! ​STUBB: Can my team take your phone number, please? (Laughter) I'll think about it. I'll talk about it with my colleagues.

t.co/2THbtlhhIV The BBC hopes no one sees this, so please share! Brave Lebanese man speaks up against Jihad: “I’m a proud Lebanese of Greek roots, Christian obviously, and I want peace with Israelis, period. Jews are not the enemy; the messed-up stone-age fanatic religious mentality is. Enough death, enough destruction, yes to peace, yes to progress and growth.”

Petrolul, aurul și venezuelenii. Statele Unite au primit în această lună aur în valoare de 100 de milioane de dolari din Venezuela. E doar primul transfer "simbolic" (o să urmeze constat altele, mai semnificative). Un mic tribut pentru a dezmorți relațiile economice și politice.
