@A_E_P_1979 @ShiaphobiaLB Sayyid Qutb sends his regards: youtube.com/watch?v=PksY08…

@ShiaphobiaLB This nasheed is influenced (basically copy-pasted) by the famous Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood nasheed called "Akhi Anta Hur."

⭕️⚡️Yedioth Ahronoth reports on a soldier’s friend who was wounded in a drone attack: Almost every day, helicopters land near the Lebanese border to evacuate casualties from drone explosions. The troops there are completely exposed and have no idea when an attack will come because there are no warning signs. The drone arrives silently and then explodes, and it’s crazy that they still haven’t found a solution. The troops live in constant anxiety, not knowing when or where they will be hit by a drone attack; they have no real ability to shoot them down, and it has turned into a nightmare for the troops.

@A_E_P_1979 @matiloli6 @FORTRESSMAXXING I do not subscribe to Khaldunian Cyclicism so even though I view an end to this genocidal entity a given, it will come about by fantastic and perhaps unforeseen means, IMHO. It's not going to collapse simply because it has reached the famous cursed eighth decade of existence.

@A_E_P_1979 @matiloli6 @FORTRESSMAXXING Most likely, a combination of kinetic and non-kinetic means. Wouldn't rule out State collapse either as that fake genocidal entity is kept together by a new type of structural violence that goes beyond old-school Fascism. We need a new naming concept for this.

Lots of people are calling this poll fake. I would not really be surprised by the results if it were an exaggeration of truth. Lots of Druze (who are Arabs) support the Israeli state. As do a significant numbers of 48er Palestinians, mini DJ Khaleds selling out their kin for dunya and mammon.

@A_E_P_1979 @RashmanTheHorse @qafilaseeker Kufr is one Milla. Always. Russians are the OG pragmatists though. Always having one foot in the West and one foot outside from Tsar Peter I onwards. The Ultimate Frenemy. Eschatologically, Moscow was also founded as the "Third Rome" after 1453 Fatah Constantinople by Ottomans.

@RashmanTheHorse @qafilaseeker Putin himself met with Bush and openly declared the war on Chechnya was part of the "global war on terror against radical Islam." That was partly why Western countries allowed Putin to flatten Chechnya on the ground.

In hindsight, the jihad in Chechnya was obviously a Salafist International project. Calling it strictly AQ is misleading. This line is partially rooted in Russian efforts to join GWOT / ingratiate itself w the Bush Administration.

@A_E_P_1979 "Be courageous. Death only comes once" - Imam Ali (ra).

I had an existential crisis from a very early age, and the more I age, the more I realize the sole purpose of life is to be as perfect as possible by the time of death—spiritually, morally, and politically. Man is born & raised sinful, and the aim is to reverse that over time.

Not true. The UAE's policies are driven by fanatical, paranoid Zionist Islamophobia, which is both the state ideology and the personal ideology of Mohammed bin Zayed. Since 2005, he has consistently committed the UAE to the expression and export of Zionist Islamophobia even when doing so harms the UAE's commercial and long-term political interests, including its survival. There are few states in the world with a more coherent ideological foundation or policy planning infrastructure.

@Backup_AEP_1979 @Ammarimvs Any prominent writings? Translations into English?

@Ammarimvs He is an Iranian cleric famous for his conservative advocacy.

🧵 Fatemi Sadr said if Israel occupies southern Lebanon, it won't be like the 1980s occupation anymore, where Israel would create the SLA and people like Mughniyeh would recruit fighters to resist. This time, Israel would ethnically cleanse the Shia & bring Jewish settlers.../1

@A_E_P_1979 To adapt and paraphase Will Smith (out of all people): "Colonialism isn't increasing. It's being recorded."

The crimes Israelis are committing today are neither unique nor unprecedented in colonial history. The French did the same in Algeria, the British in Africa, and the Americans in Iraq. In many cases they even learned from each other (British tactics were inherited by the Haganah and then the IDF, and also by the Americans; there is actually a good book written about that). What is unique, however, is that mankind is witnessing for the first time what has happened since the 1700s against colonized people. The genocides we all read about centuries ago can now be seen firsthand in Gaza with 4K cameras. In other words, Israel is merely practicing the colonial policies other colonial powers practiced for centuries; it is just the latecomer to this.

Mahdi Khamoushi: The Rising Architect of Influence Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader is said to have chosen Khamoushi as his new Chief of Staff, moving Khamoushi into his inner circle. This is a very pivotal role that positions the 64-year-old Khamoushi at the very heart of the Islamic Republic’s future power structure. In this role, he is the successor to the powerful Mohammad Golpayegani that served Ali Khamenei for almost four decades. Khamoushi’s ascent is backed by the right institutional, political and even family links. Appointed by Ali Khamenei in 2018, Khamoushi is the head of the Endowment and Charity Organization (Oghaf)—Iran’s wealthiest entity outside of the central government. Managing over 1.2 million assets, the organization’s scale is staggering; in the holy city of Mashhad alone, roughly half the land falls under its jurisdiction. Prior to his current roles, Khamoushi spent nearly two decades (2001–2018) at the helm of the Islamic Propagation Organization by Ali Khamenei’s appointment. The Organization is in charge of disseminating Islamic/revolutionary culture. Khamoushi remains IPO’s chairman of the board of trustees. His family lineage is equally formidable. The son of Taghi Khamoushi (1937–2006), Mahdi hails from a dynasty who have been heavyweights in Tehran’s Bazaar. The family’s realm spans from tourism to the petrochemical sector. His uncles, Ali Naghi and Abolhassan, are titans of industry; Ali Naghi, in particular, is widely regarded as the "Godfather" of Iran’s petrochemicals. The Khamoushi family represents the ultimate synthesis of the Tehran Bazaar and revolutionary politics. Emerging from a traditionalist merchant background, they were founding members of the Motalefeh Party—a collective of religious groups that formed under the directive of Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1960s. Matrimonial ties further cement Khamoushi’s standing withing the Supreme Leader’s inner circle. Mojtaba’s younger brother, Maysam, married into the Lolachian family—one of the oldest and most respected merchant clans in the Bazaar. Maysam’s mohter-in-law is Ezzat Lolachian (Khamoushi), Khamoushi’s aunt. She was a prominent figure in her own right. Mahdi Khamoushi is also an academic with deep ideological roots. He holds a PhD in Islamic Jurisprudence from Motahari University—a citadel in the heart of old Tehran of revolutionary theology, the Islamic Republic style. He has studied, taught and worked as a department head at the university. Prior to his current roles, Khamoushi spent nearly two decades (2001–2018) at the helm of the Islamic Propagation Organization by Ali Khamenei’s appointment. The Organization is in charge of disseminating Islamic/revolutionary culture. Khamoushi's new role could bear a much wider significance in the evolution of the Iranian polity than just an appointment.

This is literally unseen footage of Iranian and Afghan immigrants attacking the Soviet embassy in Tehran after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. As my brother wrote in an academic paper (which he won't share), Imam Khomeini called the Soviet Union the "Little Satan" after they invaded Afghanistan. As he stated in his writings, "The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was enough for the Soviet Union to be categorized as an oppressor within Iranian Islamist discourse." Likewise, Israel and even sometimes Britain were called the "Little Satan" because of their evil actions. For the United States, however, Imam Khomeini famously said, "Every problem that exists is because of the United States." Fathi Shaqaqi also held similar (although slightly different) views on this matter. To really understand Israeli imperialism, one must understand American imperialism. As Shaqaqi said, "Israel and the US are one and the same thing, but Israel is the perfect manifestation (therefore an extension and thus the lesser version) of the Western [US] civilization [imperialism]." Also, check the comment section.

@A_E_P_1979 Thus far, the IR has been an experimental mixed-bag. Adopting neoliberal policies and liberal-reformist/deformist politicians pandering to the West before 2025 and 2026 wars hasn't helped. Let's see what the future brings...

@A_E_P_1979 That is, we Muslims delink from the West not necessarily materially (for we have all become forced to become moderns and have to use certain stuff like digital technologies to live nowadays) but certainly ideationally (values, beliefs, attitudes).

There is a great misconception among many of equating Iran's Islamism with Tankie ideology. Shia Islamism's opposition to US imperialism never translated into Eastern fanboyism; it is a third path: an Islamic civilizational bloc. In fact, in 1979 Soviet intellectuals advocated for unity with the Western bourgeoisie against Iran because they saw Iran's Islamism as a greater threat to their hegemony than the Americans. Gorbachev even called Nixon to discuss collaborating against Iran (I posted about both from my book's paragraphs). Since the 1980s, Iran aided anti-Soviet and even anti-Russian insurgencies in Afghanistan (Iran even collaborated with the US to aid the Mujahideen against the Soviets), Algeria, Bosnia, and Tajikistan (Iran indirectly killed and wounded thousands of Russians there), to name a few. If we had common interests with Russians in Syria, it was because the choice was between Israel and Russia, not because we love Russians. Likewise, whenever the interests of Muslims, the nation, and Shia were in danger, Iran supported Islamist movements irrespective of whether it opposed Russian or American interests. Iranian Islamists even attacked the Soviet embassy before the American one during the 1980s. See the comment section. Our ideology is Global Islamism: neither West nor East, but Islamic governance, as Imam Khomeini promoted.

@Hmm00749384 @A_E_P_1979 @lokiloptr154668 If I recall correctly from this study, Evola believes that the concept of Jihad is not "semitic" and that the Lunar-based Arabs could not have come up with it. It had to have come from an external source, a Solar-based imperial civilisation, namely Sassanian Iran of the Shahs.

@Hmm00749384 @A_E_P_1979 @lokiloptr154668 This may be of interest. I have read it and would recommend. Evola is covered heavily in this.

Ayatollah Khamenei on Sayyid Qutb, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and Nasser. Researched by @lokiloptr154668 "Two weeks had elapsed in my imprisonment, when I heard one Of the prison guards shouting in a loud voice: “Glad tidings! Glad tidings! Abdel-Nasser is dead!” This news deeply pained my heart. As Islamist revolutionaries in Iran, we held a paradoxical attitude toward two prominent Egyptian figures; we highly sympathized with Sayyid Qutb’s plight and admired his intellect, but at the same time we felt empathy toward Abdel-Nasser who had sentenced him to death. I shed tears of sorrow upon hearing news of the execution of Sayyid Qutb, but I also wept when I heard of the death of Abdel-Nasser. Our attachment to Sayyid Qutb could be easily understood. In the light of his personal affliction, literary pen, and dynamic Qur’anic intellect, he was able to portray a revolutionary and productive image of Islam, highlighting its broad horizons. He encouraged us to take pride in our religion, and to remain aloof from trivialities which preoccupy ordinary people. He adopted an Islamic revolutionary approach in his exegetical works in a manner which Muslims, regardless of their respective sects, find consistent with their own beliefs. On the other hand, our admiration towards Abdel-Nasser had its roots in certain psychological factors, and was not based on doctrinal grounds. At the time, the people of Iran faced an overwhelming campaign instigated by great powers, aiming at degrading the status of religion and disparaging Muslim clerics. This process had a great impact in inculcating a sense of psychological defeat in Iranian youth and intellectuals who came to believe that it was not possible to challenge the big powers dominating the world. In such an atmosphere of moral defeat in the face of the West and the United States of America, we welcomed any raised voice which defied those powers and expressed resistance. Abdel-Nasser was such an individual. While listening to his public addresses against the tyrannical world powers, we sensed a deep feeling of pride. We were constantly eager to listen to his speeches which were aired on the Sawt Al-Arab (Voice of the Arabs) radio broadcasting station. We were drawn to every movement which aimed to accomplish liberation from imperialist domination in the Islamic World and the developing countries of the Third World as well; hence, we expressed our solidarity with all revolutionary movements in Asia, Africa and Latin America. I still remember that after I received news of the Libyan Revolution, I promptly voiced my support for the movement during one of my sermons and commended the Libyan revolutionaries for bringing upon the downfall of King Idris, whom I called Iblis. I later discovered that Sheikh Hashemi Rafsanjani had also endorsed the Libyan Revolution during his sermons. We were driven by a yearning to recover the glory which had been trampled upon by despots, and the honor which had been violated by the tyrants of the world. To us, the name of Abdel-Nasser was a symbol of Arab Muslim resistance and perseverance against Zionist forces in the region. This, however, did not diminish our discontent with the strict measures Abdel-Nasser had directed against Islamic activists. As I previously mentioned, the media outlets of the Shah aimed to sow animosity against Abdel-Nasser in Iran. What saddened me the most was the way the serviceman had delivered the news of Abdel-Nasser’s death; he had articulated the information with ungrounded delight, and was clearly ignorant of Abdel-Nasser’s prominent status, merely another, citizen influenced by the Shah’s propaganda."

@Hmm00749384 @A_E_P_1979 @lokiloptr154668 Then again, if the Khaleeji and Egyptian Arabs were the only Arabs around on this planet, I think Evola's naughty bid'a makes perfect sense lol.
