My latest substack post. As a writer with ADHD, I often whether writing is an attempt to fill in the gaps left by poor memory, to create an alternative autobiography. To give me back parts of my forgotten history. open.substack.com/pub/sianelisab…

@The_Danager @MaralSalmassi No religion is legitimate. Its all made up bullshit. in this sense, the whole premise of any religion is to promote lies.

@MaralSalmassi Can anyone explain why a legitimate religion would encourage lying as a way to do God's will?

Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk. While he may have spread this misinformation himself, it aligns with the practice of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that permits lying and deception to advance Islamic objectives.
In reality, he is a radical Shia Muslim, as evidenced by his name and numerous tweets and chat leaks circulating on Arabic-speaking platforms like X. Disturbingly, his plans to carry out mass killings of Germans were brought to the attention of German authorities by a Saudi woman. Tragically, the police ignored her warnings.
The links are added in the thread.

Instead of supporting hundreds of thousands of pensioners, we're giving an undeserved handout to just one - Charles. Time to #AbolishTheMonarchy. #NotMyKing

'150,000 pensioners could keep their winter fuel allowance if King Charles did not have a 50% pay rise.' 'What a nation of obedient serfs we are, just sucking this up.' 'A 50% pay rise - for 15% less work.' @Matthew_Wright reacts to the King receiving another £45m.
