@plzMIMS @peterdaou Mims, as you know.... it's the people who voted Harris (and the DNC "leadership" which undemocratically installed her as nominee) who elected Trump. They could have demanded Harris step aside or change, but didn't. Why do you support the Dem decision to give Trump a 2nd term?

Blatant islamophobia rarely becomes mainstream overnight. It’s built step-by-step.   Muslims are framed as a security threat in political speeches. Policies are proposed in the name of “public safety.” Media narratives repeat the same associations between Islam and violence.   A global religion becomes a single idea. Diverse communities become a single group. Over time, what once sounded extreme starts to feel normal.   Normalization happens through accumulation: what is said, repeated, and left unquestioned. Read “The Far-Right’s Love Affair with Islamophobia” by Dr. Naved Bakali to understand how these processes unfold and how to recognize them before they take hold. yqn.io/uo1p #yqnpapers yqn.io/uo1p

This is unfiltered Nazi rhetoric and the Republican Jewish Coalition is eagerly amplifying it.

When IDF soldiers murdered Polish chef Damian Soból for cooking meals to starving refugees in Gaza, the world barely cared. This man had spent his entire life showing up for strangers including during an earthquake in Turkey. Every time the world broke, Damian was there.

El-Sayed: I'm about to pay my taxes. I don’t pay taxes so another country gets a tank or a bomb. I pay my taxes so our kids get schools and healthcare.

🇮🇷 Make this Viral. Media won't show you this. Rabbi Younes Hammami Lalezar, leader of Iran's Jewish community, stands before the ruins of a synagogue in central Tehran destroyed by Israeli bombing. Jews practice Judaism, run schools and synagogues, and even have a seat in parliament.

On the left is ADL declaring it is antisemitic to say Israel pulled the US into this war. On the right is NYTimes’ reporting that Netanyahu directly persuaded Trump to attack Iran. Antisemitism is real. Thanks to ADL’s crying wolf, nobody will care when it really matters.

Congratulations to Palestine's Elias Amro from Bethlehem who graduated top of his class at Dublin City University! Palestine has a highly educated IT workforce, so it is no surprise to us to see Elias doing so well. Very proud reading about his impressive achievement. Elias managed to do this with the constant worry for his family who are back home under illegal occupation in Palestine. Thank you to DCU and the Irish Council for International Students who supported Elias with counselling services while he completed his important studies. independent.ie/irish-news/pal…

💢 Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner on U.S. support for Israel: “Not a single taxpayer dollar should be spent on arming and defending a country that commits a genocide. I would absolutely support Senator Sanders' bill to restrict military aid, but I'll be entirely honest, looking down the road, this is a nation that right now is exterminating people. It is going to be very difficult for me to ever be able to look at them again and see someone that we should be working with closely… What I am witnessing now is the height of horror. And the fact that it is being done by bombs that are built in this country and paid for with our tax dollars is utterly unconscionable. And it needs to end.” Clip via @MarcoFoster_

President Trump’s deranged mocking of Islam and his threats to attack civilian infrastructure in Iran are reckless, dangerous, and indicative of a mindset that shows indifference to human life and contempt for religious beliefs.    These statements are not made in a vacuum. They follow a long pattern of anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies that have dehumanized Muslims at home and abroad. The casual use of ‘Praise be to Allah’ in the context of violent threats reflects a disturbing willingness to weaponize religious language while simultaneously denigrating Islam and its followers.   Congress must not remain on vacation while the President openly promises to commit war crimes that could trigger even more regional and global conflict. Lawmakers have a duty to reconvene and to reassert their authority over matters of war and peace and to ensure that no president can unilaterally drag our nation into war.

The Leahy Law prevents transfers OR SALES of weapons to any nation that commits "gross violations of human rights" such as torture, rape, or extrajudicial killings" - which Israel does on a regular basis. It's not enough to say we won't give weapons to Israel. The demand must also be that we won't SELL any weapons to Israel either.

Do you love the blessings? Or do you love the One Who gave them to you? You made du’a. You cried. You felt close to Allah. Then your du’a got answered. But what happens when things don’t go your way? Is your love still there… or was it conditional? Watch the full Khutbah, “Do You Only Worship Allah When Life Is Easy?” by Dr. @omarsuleiman: yqn.io/ily2 #khutbah #lecture

The University of Washington appears to have removed a professor, Aria Fani, from his position as director of the Middle East Center because he criticized Israel and stated that the claim that Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon was untrue.
