@TheMindScourge Unusual argument, also if there was to be a 'restorer of the sun' artist, Turner would make a lot more sense than Van Gogh.

It’s forgotten now because we’re on the back slope of the revolution, by van Gogh’s decision to prominently celebrate the Sun in many of his works was a radical departure from the Western tradition, where it is largely absent
It sounds surprising, but the Sun is absent in most of the Western canon. Van Gogh restored it to a pride of place it perhaps hadn’t enjoyed since the ancient Egyptians.
He was arguably the original poet of the modern civilization of the Sun.

Islam is divine but its essence is built on Arab identity, language and culture. And its through the Arabs that Islam was revealed.
The Mahdi will be Arab, the Quran is Arabic, Jesus AS will return in Damascus, (Arab land) , majority Sahaba were Arabs , the prophet ﷺ was Arab and Allah SWT chose Arabs for his last message . There is no reason to deny this. We accepts Allah’s knowledge and wisdom. To say he chose Arabs for last message cause they were ignorant, is largely cope. The Arab culture and language was most fitting for the last message and their culture has been mass adapted by almost all major Muslim ethnicities especially the tribal structures.
The Muslims who ignore this are just ignorant and have never really pondered on Islam
Some scholars say it’s kufr to hate Arabs which makes sense because most non Arab nationalists start hating Arabic/Arabs and eventually start hating Islam and the prophet ﷺ (for being Arab) and become non Muslims or Murtads
English
It is fascinating how Islam is so frequently conflated with Arabness. Sometimes there is even an implied moral failure for those who are Muslim but not Arab, which leads to forced Arabization in many non Arab communities.
Despite the historical reality that the vast majority of Muslims globally are not Arab and haven’t been for 80% of Islam’s history.

One thing I've noticed is that digital watches are mentally... easier than analogue ones because your brain doesn't have to convert the image of the watch hands into a time.

Quentin Tarantino explains why he does not include nudity or sex scenes in his films: "Sex isn’t part of my vision of cinema. And the truth is, in real life, shooting sex scenes is a pain—everyone gets really tense. And if it was a bit of a hassle to do before, it’s even more so now. If a sex scene had ever come up that was essential to the story, I would have done it, but so far it hasn’t been necessary." Is there a need for sex scenes in films and TV?

@afroanalytic 'True' homosexuality & 'true' heterosexuality is in fact rare.
English
heterosexuality is a modern invention. If you read about ancient societies, you’ll see “same-sex” relations of various kinds were practiced all over the globe. Often, people with cultural-family obligations were socially allowed to do some gay shit before it was gay shit 💀

The irony is there were Muslims in east Africa before there was some in Medina! Let alone other parts of Arabia

It's crazy how Islam is said to have spread by force but about 60-65% of Muslims come from countries that did not experience any Islamic conquest: Indonesia and SE Asia, parts of Bangladesh and India, Nigeria and all of West Africa, Ethiopia. /

@but_seriously05 @AmirAminiMD So what if he's against America, he lives in Germany, why should a German citizen have to defend the Americans?

@AmirAminiMD You support a terrorist regime and actively advocate against the US. This isn't assimilating. You have a lot of talent and I can't understand why you don't put these to use in your home country.

Please tell me: what can I do better to assimilate? To finally become a good migrant?
I am a board-certified neurosurgeon, one of only a handful in this country with additional endovascular training (still undergoing), currently with 19 high-impact publications and a doctoral thesis (summa cum laude) focused on the development of an entirely new field in the microsurgical training of young neurosurgeons, patented with the goal of free worldwide accessibility and reproducibility, and in the process of publishing my first book on this topic.
I also happen to love whisky and currywurst.
And everything about Western literature and art, just as I love and appreciate all these things in every other culture and civilization.
Sadly, I am not going to support genocidal scum and child rapists commit endless crimes against humanity, if that’s your idea of assimilation. And I am not going to just watch them burn down the world in real time and shut up about it in order to protect myself and my career.
I swore an oath. And I take it very seriously.
(I do however apologize for the cheap self-congratulatory introduction for the sake of the argument)
