Ahmad Ali

﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا ۝ ﴾

Some people can’t even begin to understand this level of personal responsibility.

1 percent of Americans are Muslim. How low does your IQ have to be to think Muslims are on the verge of taking over the United States?

The mediaeval thinker who speaks directly to today's broken and troubled world. Lubna Masarwa and I visit Al Aqsa, where Abu Hamid Al Ghazali, one of Islam’s most revered figures, wrote his greatest masterpiece: middleeasteye.net/discover/abu-h…

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

A 19-year-old in France went into a coma for 3 weeks. To her, it lasted 7 years. She gave birth to triplets, named them, and lost one shortly after birth. She woke up and asked the nurses where her children were. Doctors see this often in intensive care. They call it ICU delirium, and it hits about 37% of patients there. For people on a breathing machine for weeks, the rate climbs to nearly 9 in 10. The drugs that keep ICU patients unconscious push down the deepest sleep stages, where the brain normally files away the day. When the drugs ease off, all that suppressed dreaming floods back at once. Meanwhile, the brain stops double-checking reality. So the brain just builds, stacking vivid detail on vivid detail. Half an hour of dream time can feel like a whole year of life. The grief follows her out of the coma. The brain regions that handle emotional pain are the same ones that hurt when you lose someone in waking life. Memories don’t come with a “this was real” tag. So the love a mother feels for children who never existed lives in the same place as the love for kids who did. Grief counselors handle these losses the way they would the death of an actual child, because to the brain, they are the same. A novelist named Caroline Leavitt wrote about her own coma for Psychology Today in 2021. She said waking up felt like being “pulled violently” from one world to another. Drug-induced comas like hers leave the brain active enough to dream. In trauma comas, the brain mostly goes dark. In Rick and Morty there’s an arcade game called Roy where you live a whole life in an afternoon. The brain runs the same game on its own. All it needs is a breathing machine and 3 weeks.

There was a Greek kingdom for roughly 200 years in what is now Pakistan.

Sometimes you'll hear Pakistanis say that there was a coherent geographic unit consistent w/ modern Pakistan that was created by the mountains & Indus River basin that long predates the Mughals, British India, or even Islam. This is a good historical example for that argument.

@JacobAMathison @VerminusM you are uttering rubbish at this point

@HistoryNerd0 @VerminusM It's more that there are a lot of American soldiers who have strong opinions about the normalcy of institutionalized child grape in Islamic countries.

Islam is the world's second largest religion yet there are no Western mainstream shows or movies about the history and roots of Islam like we have with Christianity and Judaism. There's no Quran movie or a Hadith animated series. Why is that?

@JacobAMathison @VerminusM what nonsense are you talking about? In islam rape regardless of age is a henious crime punishable by death. In islam sex is only allowed between a man and woman within the bond of marriage. Islam strictly advocates for decency and morality.

@HistoryNerd0 @VerminusM A lot of Americans have read your Hadiths and basically the response is "in your culture, you grape children. In our culture, we take you out back and shoot child grapists. And those who try to hand waive it away or deflect it get their families shot too".

A miniature leaf-shaped Quran from the Mughal period (made in 1574) This is an extremely unique piece, not only because of its shape or size. It's the first Quran I've ever seen where its pages are flipped vertically.

This scene still haunts my soul mercilessly.

@JacobAMathison @VerminusM So you have a genocidal mindset ! after what you have done in Gaza is no doubt in that. You are a hateful person against islam and you deliberately misguide your people against islam. Reading about Islam and understanding are different things. clearly you don't understand.

@HistoryNerd0 @VerminusM Most people that have interacted with Muslims overseas generally cultivate a “we must cleanse the earth of these people” mentality. The people who have the fondest opinions generally haven’t met them Muslims in their natural environment.

@BennyRocinante @VerminusM you are ignorant and misguided. It seems the truth went over your head. Islam is the most just religion to for mankind and especially for women and children. Islam is the only religion that safeguards womens dignity and honour something your brain cannot comprehend

@HistoryNerd0 @VerminusM I say this because I have studied history for decades, looked at Quran, and can see it in the news still. Islam is horrible, especially for women, children, and any man who doesn't need an excuse to beat people weaker than himself. Disgusting. No wonder Islamic nations suck

@BennyRocinante @VerminusM if you knew about Islam then you wouldn't say this. either you are misinformed or you are deliberately lying

@HistoryNerd0 @VerminusM Nah. Islam ruins nations and people. Then they come to Christian nations and ruin them too. Islam is a disaster.

@Chinco_NL @VerminusM All civilizations, empires, religions expanded through wars including your ancient Jewish States. While Muslim empires did expand militarily Muslims didn't forced the people to Islam. They themselves out of free will accepted Islam as they saw the truth

@HistoryNerd0 @VerminusM There is no positives in the spreading of Islam. 1400 years of conquest. No wonder the Christians tried to stop it with the crusades. The Reconquista. Vienna. By rejecting Jesus Christ as God, you became devil worshippers. Repent. Jesus claimed to be God in John 10.

@BennyRocinante @VerminusM Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is the last Messenger of Allah and the beloved of Allah. Those who love him , Allah loves them and those who hate him and are his enemies they are enemies of Allah and Allah the Almighty hates them

@HistoryNerd0 @VerminusM "negative propaganda meant to make them hate islam and Muslims?" You mean history? or current events? - or the Quran and Hadith? Mohammed was a pedophile, a liar, and a violent man.

@BennyRocinante @VerminusM If they had read Quran with open mind they mostly probably would end up as Muslims. Quran tells the truth.

@rankdrugs @VerminusM what reality? Secondly they are Muslim countries not islamic countries. To be islamic country you have to follow the principles and laws of islam which no country does at this point.

@HistoryNerd0 @VerminusM If they see reality in Islamic countries, they'll hate you more
