The little girl inside us can be our guiding force for change - reminding us of the power of play and the innocence we are born into- which in Islam is known as our fitrah. @ZiauddinY @ZainabSalbi @Ayesha_Mattu @AMANI @AcrossRedLines #LetLoveIn

The government wants to make filing taxes easy & painless for millions of people. Big software firms... don't.

In Islamic cosmology humanity is not alone in this world, but rather the world is shared with the jinn an invisible race of beings born of smokeless fire. Some places in the world are said to be especially connected to them. A thread on the realms of the jinn

About to take a digital detox - I'm still around in the material and astral space - while definitely will be missing everyone in the cyber world! @AcrossRedLines will still be running its online #LetLoveIn campaign (don't forget to submit videos!) and if someone needs to reach me

teaching a class on the Roman Empire today so naturally i’ll be teaching students how to interpret their dreams as omens from the gods. always leads to a great discussion on premodern science, natural philosophy, and they get to explore ancient dream books

What’s the city with the WORST traffic? I think I’ve only been to about a dozen major cities but nothing was ever as bad as Montreal. It took us two hours to get home from the airport and we were only actually moving for like 20 minutes. 😐

@ResilienttHuman Great list...but there is a lack of women on that list so to help further the 20 year old mind I would anything by @BreneBrown and pick up Unbound by @kasiaurbaniak_ - too many crucial #BPOC women to list so maybe I will make a separate list...or someone will keep adding

I heard this clearly in 2003 in #Fallujah - a man told me he hadn't made a decision on US intervention. Good guys & bad guys look the same. Iraqis have enough patience to wait and see if it's true change or another conquerer trying to reframw their conquests #AfghanistanCrisis

The #Taliban are being clear they won the war-despite amount of blood spilled in battles. From targeting historic sites (remember Bamyan) to appointing ppl from most wanted list. A few decades of slumber is nothing when you are an ancient civilization #AfghanistanCrisis
علی@Hazaristan01

The Taliban are destroying the historic Greshk Fortress in Helmand and building a religious school in its place. This is the fort where Amir Timur wounded in his leg.

@annia That's literally one of my favorite lines in your book - when you describe figs as babies balls...

Shared names and the challenge of transliteration misspellings rained havoc on many Iraqis and Afghanis. I remember in 2003, a US soldier joked about my name when looking through my passport, wanna know why we never caught Mullah Mohammed Omar - it's a girl !
Ali A Olomi@aaolomi

The US grabbed a 9th grade Afghan boy, tortured him, and imprisoned him for 18 months because he happened to share a name with a Taliban commander. Filled with rage for what happened to him the boy joined the Taliban when released. He was later killed. nytimes.com/2021/09/15/wor…
