Zone1 Islam- Arab Imperialism

The Middle East unites against the terrorism perpetrated by #Hamas. We stand with the people of both #Gaza and #Israel. The misinformation spread by the Muslim Brotherhood cannot deceive us; we now have access to information through various tools.
@lalshareef and I shared this viewpoint at the University of South Florida, where I witnessed and heard from Jewish students facing racism and antisemitism on American university campuses. These students reported extremist individuals, who fled from terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq to the USA, gained citizenship, and began supporting ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Hamas.

The misinformation spread by ...

surprise again ...

JERUSALEM/DOHA (Reuters) -Israeli authorities raided a Jerusalem hotel room used by Al Jazeera as its office after the government decided to shut down the Qatari-owned TV station's local operations on Sunday, an Israeli official and an Al Jazeera source told Reuters.

the jews do not need a free press whatever their gov't does they smile ignorantly as taught for the good of judaism.

The Middle East stagnated under the Ottomans. Fortunately the Palestinians have an extremely high rate of PhDs.

And compared to rates of illiteracy in the other 52 Arab/Muslim colonies?

Instead of being grateful, you demand more Islamic imperialism,

to make everyone else in the M.E. equally illiterate?

Greece annually translates five times more books from English than the entire Arab world, and currently, 65 million Arab adults are illiterate. These sobering statistics are thanks to the U.N.’s first Arab Human Development Report A Note on Arabic Literacy and Translation

Some say, “what’s the problem with public prayer?” This isn’t about a problem with public prayer, or a problem with prayer at all. Prayer is a beautiful spiritual practice.

What we’re witnessing, instead, is white women adopting a religion that is not native to their cultural, national, or ethnic identity. “So it’s about race?” Yes and no. As I said, Islam is not native to anybody considered “white” (a social construct that refers to people of European descent), so what do we observe from the adoption of this foreign faith?

We see the weakening of these students’ sense of identity and romanticization of foreign identities instead. This was the result of many years of being made to feel guilty for being white and shamed for “having privilege,” which led them (as it would anyone) to shirk the identity of perceived privilege by instead adopting the identity of those considered “oppressed,” which is glamorized in western leftist society. Middle Eastern people (and by extension, their religious and cultural identities) are considered “oppressed,” and thus “good.”

So what’s the problem with this? Well, the glamorization of a religion they don’t understand is a gateway to endorsing its extremism because they aren’t able to draw the lines that are understood by native practitioners. For example, there are people in Iran who lean into their Muslim identity and simultaneously condemn the Islamic Republic and religious extremism, because they have intimate experience with the boundary between their religious practice and the extremism that weaponizes religion to justify mass slaughter, torture, rape, imperialism, power, and control.

It’s neither reasonable, nor likely to expect those unfamiliar with foreign identities (much less religions) to be able to draw appropriate boundaries from personal experience and understanding, which ultimately leads to a defensive posture toward that adopted identity, including all the extremism that attaches to it.

What we need to do, instead of turning a blind eye to these obvious dangers, is to help these youth learn to love themselves again for all that they are so that they aren’t shamed into cosplaying as somebody else and inviting in a whole host of secondary problems because of their primary motivation to escape themselves.

These are the downstream effects of a culture of shame on American youth.
