Had an argument with my mother today.

She says "muslims are backwards".

She said this because she believes Islam is inherently regressive, dangerous and disparaging towards other belief systems.

That Islam cannot engage in interfaith dialogue because it thinks itself the correct religion.

I believe that when an entire demographic is labeled as a threat, that is what is dangerous.

There are many horrible muslims in the world, just as there are horrible christians, horrible atheists and horrible jews.

I don't care if Afghanistan, led by the taliban, represents a muslim country.

I don't care if there happens to be more "horrible muslims" than there are other horrible people in other groups, although that is clearly a difficult thing to quantify.

I have muslim friends who are nice, normal people and who deserve to be able to live their lives in connection to their culture.

They do not deserve to be put at risk by people labeling the entirety of Islam a danger.

Religion is what people make of it.

Some people are extremist. They are bad.

Others are not. They do not deserve to be treated like extremists.

Religion is what people make of it.

Always remember this. There are two types of Muslims. Extremist Muslims and those that silently support the extremist actions while celebrating at their homes protected by the ones they commit these extremist acts against.

For any Muslim triggered by this, I'll believe your words the day one of you publicly condemns actions like these. Until then, anything you say is null and void.

For any keyboard activists crying Islamophobia, THIS IS WHAT EXTREMIST ACTS LOOK LIKE. TALKING ABOUT YOUR CULTURE AND YOUR HISTORY ON A SOCIAL PLATFORM IS NOT EXTREMISM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORONS.

U.K. House of Commons Debates Global Christian Persecution

On April 8, the U.K. House of Commons held a landmark televised debate that brought global Christian persecution to the forefront of political discourse. Led by Labour Party MP Ruth Jones, the session underscored the severity and scale of attacks on Christians worldwide while urging further action from governments and international leaders. A Call to Keep Persecution in Focus During the debate,…

Mufti sahab if imam sahab forgets the ayat while reciting and remains silent for a long time and does not even do sajad e sahwa then namaz will be missed

⚪ Answer ⚪

If after saying subhanallah 3 times the qadar remains silent then sajda-e-sahv will be wajib,

If sajd e-sahv is not done then it is wajib to return the namaz before the time is over...

📍 For such an emergency matter it is better to talk to some mufti sahab directly.

Oh, lord, this topic was getting me cancelled 20 years ago, before "getting cancelled" was even a thing.

But, yes, the reasoning is the same: Hijab is a sex-specific modesty garment representing a misogynistic double-standard. It serves, literally, as a physical instrument of female exclusion from society. It is patriarchal in the worst sense, and falls in the same class as its more extreme cousins like the burqa. Modesty garments are never a good idea when they are worn on the premise that your body is shameful and provocative.

There is something to be said for degrees, however, and I take less issue with a garment like hijab that is essentially an unapologetic head shawl versus something like a burqa or niqab that literally erases the female face and form from public life. The involuntary erasure of the face in particular is deeply offensive to me, to the point that I would support public bans on those types of garments (not unlike the French bans). And hijab, at least, does not run afoul of this unacceptable degree of involuntarily erasure of one's humanity.

But, even so, hijab is not the symbol of freedom and autonomy that privileged Westerners and clueless progressives claim it to be. It is the exact opposite. It is both a symbol and literally a physical instrument of oppression, the exploitation and manipulation of the vulnerable. To my eyes it is a terrible look to proudly wear a garment that is used to marginalize and seclude millions of women around the world from public life, let alone call this "empowering." You may have the choice to wear it, and you may be empowering yourself by exercising your choice, but hundreds of millions of other people who are in a more vulnerable position than you do not have that choice. They are forced to wear these things, on threat of exclusion or censure or harassment or sometimes even violence. Even in the West, even in the US, in Muslim enclaves, we are seeing this same oppression reassert itself more and more, with women there pressured to don these garments even if they don't want to.

We had to fight for the freedom of bodily visibility in the 20th century, back when it was Christianity doing the oppressing. We, or rather our liberal predecessors, had to fight for the sleeveless dress, the low neckline, the miniskirt, the right to wear plain old normal pants. Anything that exposed more of the female body or its shape. We largely won these fights—though we have yet to free the nipple—and it is a damn shame to see this new flanking attack coming in from a different religion.

You might have the freedom to choose, but your glorification of the instruments of other people's oppression contributes to the erasure of their plight from our collective consciousness. It is a regressive stance to take.

If you talk to female escapees from Islamist countries, most of them rightly have terrible contempt for these garments, even the relatively tame hijab, because what a hijab lacks in brutality it makes up for in symbolic power. To see certain progressives celebrate this says a lot about their true colors, or, at best, their ignorance. Either way, it shows that a particular faction of progressivism is so hellbent on Western guilt and the shaming of all Western defaults and norms, i.e. Christianity, that it will go to ludicrous extremes to rationalize and justify anything seen as outside of or in opposition to this "deplorable" Western sphere. Because Christian extremists, right-wingers, and other assorted bigots single out things like a hijab as "tells" that someone is an "Other," the progressive movement has overreacted and is essentially immunizing these objects from warranted criticism. This has led to untenable, disgraceful apologetics over the years of both the specific instruments and the overarching fact of Islamic extremism by white Western progressives—who are ushered along with smiles by their Islamic allies, all too happy to see the progressive movement doing their work for them. It's the biggest blind spot on the left today, to recognize that Christian extremism is bad but somehow not recognize that Islamic extremism is also bad. And "extremism" isn't just about murdering civilians in terrorist acts; it's about fundamental things like marginalizing and excluding persecuted classes of people from society.

(And, yes, I am against this stuff from any religion: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, you name it. I think modesty garments are inherently oppressive, and spiral very easily from religious accoutrement to instruments of control.)

To a great extent (though not without limits, as I mentioned above), I support people's right to wear whatever they want, and that includes dressing as modestly or conservatively or religiously or "self-concealingly" as one wants. I am likewise aware of the hijab's fashion relevance, thermal warmth, and potential for comfort, and I recognize that these considerations all complicate the underlying ethical question. And I am also aware of the argument that physically concealing one's female body in public is sort of like flipping an "off" switch that can prevent a lot of unwanted attention, and that many people do this to themselves, if not purely voluntarily (inasmuch as in an ideal world free of unwanted attention and harassment they would not dress so self-deprecatingly), then at least as a "lesser of two evils" sort of thing—and I never begrudge people for easing the burdens in their lives. Long story short, I never get in people's business about this stuff; I don't say "Don't wear it." Even the people wearing the extreme garments like a burqa—which I have seen worn in south Seattle!—I do not make trouble with. For one thing, it isn't neighborly to make trouble. But more importantly, it is important to remember that anyone wearing this stuff under duress is a victim of larger cultural problems, and you're not going to get very far in fighting those problems by making trouble for the victims. And you never know who is wearing the stuff voluntarily and who isn't.

But I do harshly judge the people who, beyond their personal life choices, glorify this stuff politically and contribute to the public campaign of whitewashing Islamic extremism. It's like flying the Confederate Flag. You're technically allowed to, but...should you really?

not to be too edgy on main but i do think its a little funny that when someone wants to include a character wearing a hijab in their story its always those stylish headscarfs that give you a perfectly round view of the face and its never like, a full on burqa. like no, thats is a little too uncomfortable to depict, but they are the same principle right? the reasoning behind both is the same

The tragic loss of children's lives and the bombardment of innocent civilians have led to a deep sense of victimisation among Muslims. I can see the extremist groups, especially the Al Qaeda, they have started exploiting particularly this attack and they are exploiting this attack to attract aggrieved Muslim youths. This is a strong element of the extremist narrative. Muslim victimisation is the heart of that narratives. This Gaza attack, they're capitalising on those issues to attract the youths to join the militant cause.

The amount of actual antisemitism on this website is frightening.

It might not be obvious given Tumblr has a new algorithm that only shows you what you want to see, and yes there's maybe a whole discourse about the fighting of antisemitic views and blogs about criticizing antisemitic medias and remembering what genocidal antisemitic political group like the Nazis did. And when you look at this part of Tumblr you think "Alright, it's okay, it's cool."

Problem is that it is a really tiny fragment, and when you look at the other side of Tumblr, at the mass of things Tumblr doesn't show you, you'll find tons of antisemitic posts and tons of blogs praying for all Jews to die. Literaly I saw people here simply write "All Jews must die".

I shouldn't be surprised given the rise, return and multiplication of actual antisemitic political and social movements IRL in numerous countries... But it's still sad to see this website is just as corrupted as any others. I guess it is less visible because often antisemitic views tend to use political, religious or social arguments and subjects as "covers" (the current news is an especially good "shield") but always remember to check deeper and to carefully look at what people are writing - because you need to be able to read between the lines, to see if someone is actually involved in said topics or if they just use a superficial knowledge of it to promote a new genocide of the Jews as a whole.

Also, notice how and when these areas became Islamic majority in the first place.

Tell me, is one Jewish nation too much?
