#Pakistani Islamic terrorist

[feministfang]

Day by day i listen to the bullshit these muslims (both men and women) promote in the name of their religion, i understand more and more why the western world doesn’t give a fuck about muslim oppression and why the world is so Islamophobic (which includes me).

Islamic scholar, Zakir Naik, visited my country Pakistan and started preaching why the rapists and murderers deserve forgiveness because allah is forgiving. He preached too much shit like why is it women’s fault rape happens and men have right to marry four times in islam that too to the audience of people who live in a deep rooted misogynistic society where every male is a potential rapist.

*Edit: just found out he also claimed that unmarried women are 'bazaari aurat' meaning prostitutes!

A brave woman amongst the crazy audience dared to speak up for women’s rights boldly and for the women who are victims of domestic violence, this bastard instantly villainised her in front of everyone, portraying her as if she had committed blasphemy against islam, knowing very well the mullah cult mob could lynch her to death any second.

There’s a whole debate going on on the internet regarding this and as expected, the public is supporting and praising him. A friend of mine said some words against him on her story and she received a text from another WOMAN who said something like "dOn'T lEt wEstErn wOrLd dIvErT yOur mInd! He sAid nOthInG wRoNg. MEn aRe aLLowEd tO mArrY fOur tiMeS iN iSlAm iTs AllAhs oRdEr🤡"

This man is banned from all the western countries for a reason and muslims like him are the reason why the western world gives them silent treatment. I don’t blame them at all for their Islamophobia. It’s the muslims fault completely. You behave like that, you get cancelled globally.

islam is the most misogynistic cult on this planet, but we are supposed to listen to allah's commands and don’t listen to the western feminists otherwise we are white supremacists or Islamophobic! To hell with that! I will always listen to a western feminist over what a mullah or a mulli in her ninja 🥷 suit has to say!

India has not attacked Pakistan, it has only attacked terror camps in the territory that has been occupied by Pakistan for the last 70 years.

Muslims in India are fortunate to be living in a country where they can breathe freely and they should believe in "Islam of Allah, and not in Islam of Mullah".

~Tarek Fatah,Pakistani-Canadian journalist and author.

If I have one idol, it is Mr. Tarek Fateh

A little about him:

Tarek Fatah (November 1949–24 April 2023) was a Pakistani-Canadian journalist and author.

Fatah advocated LGBT rights, a separation of religion and state, opposition to sharia law, and advocacy for a liberal, progressive form of Islam.

He called himself "an Indian born in Pakistan" and "a Punjabi born into Islam" and is a vocal critic of the Pakistani religious and political establishment.

To this end, Fatah has criticized the partition of India.

The struggles he had to face for speaking the truth and opposing radical Pakistani Islamic policies:

He was a leftist student leader in the 1960s and 1970s and was imprisoned twice by military regimes.

In 1977, he was charged with sedition and barred from journalism by the Zia-ul Haq regime.

In early 2011, Fatah said that he received a threat via Twitter. Fatah contacted Toronto Police Service and later met with two police officers from 51 Division. Fatah said that police intelligence officers, one a Muslim officer who had shut down a previous investigation into a death threat, shut down the investigation and claimed there was no threat.

Assassination attempt:

In 2017, Indian police arrested two men who were hired by Chhota Shakeel to assassinate Fatah.

We lost this warrior, one of the bravest and most influential personalities of our time to cancer on 24 April 2023.

May the highest power grant him peace.

There were shameful scenes at a Women's Rights Day demonstration in Munich's Marienplatz. Palestinian flags everywhere. Israeli flags were not welcome. Left-wing and pro-Palestinian groups insulted and pushed several Jewish women. Among the participants was the president of the Jewish community of Munich, Charlotte Knobloch (a Holocaust survivor).

Same scenes in Paris. Insults, attempted aggression, threats, and throwing of projectiles, the pro-Israeli collectives had to be exfiltrated from the Paris demonstration organized on the occasion of International Women's Rights Day. "We heard slogans like 'dirty Jews,' 'Nazis,' 'Israeli murderers,'" Mélanie Pauli-Geysse, president of No Silence, told Le Point.

No media or feminist organization in Europe is following the testimonies reported by the survivors of the family of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the caliph of Daesh.

Eggs, broken bottles, rubber bullets. "It was then that the situation worsened, we were only able to walk a few minutes before being exfiltrated by the police for our safety."

In L'Express, Sarah Barukh wrote: "There were Iranian, Afghan, Israeli, Pakistani, Yazidi, and others. We denounce the devastation of apartheid imposed by radical Islamism. We stand alongside women who are victims of barbaric traditions such as excision, in France and elsewhere." Next to her, Mona Jafarian, who fled from Iran, and Father Desbois, a Catholic priest who returned from Ukraine and recounted his life with Yazidi women, his arrest in Iraq, and his death sentence in several countries designated as lands of Islam because "I expressed words of sympathy towards the Jews."

Meanwhile, the Algerian writer Kamel Daoud writes that no media or feminist organization in Europe is following the testimonies reported by the survivors of the family of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the caliph of Daesh. His daughter, his wives, his sexual slaves are interviewed on Saudi TV to talk about the caliph.

"No relaunch in newspapers or platforms, no analysis, no echo," writes Daoud. "Western neo-feminism, crumbling into particularisms, is indifferent to this 'Muslim' scene where the condition of millions of women parades, beyond digital screens and the effects of ideological bubbles."

A forced tour should then be immediately organized to the Hamas cages under Gaza where Hamas is holding Israeli female hostages. And for those who don't feel like it, there is still the exhibition in London in which the conditions of imprisonment of the Israelis were recreated based on the testimonies of those who were exchanged in November.

Nothing seems to interfere with the ideological excitement these old and perverse peacocks derive from a barbarism they mistake for rebellion.

There is a pathological reluctance across the West to believe that Hamas has raped and mutilated women. "It didn't happen" or "where is the proof?" The speed with which these people went from saying "believe women" and #MeToo to "show the rape photos or it didn't happen" is mind-blowing.

Rape denial is so widespread that some have felt compelled to take to the streets to raise awareness of Hamas's sexual crimes. British Jews and their (few) allies gathered near BBC headquarters to say "rape is not resistance." Some wore jogging bottoms with stains between the legs, in solidarity with Naama Levy, the 19-year-old Israeli woman seen in that very state shortly after the Hamas pogrom.

The West went from "believe women" to "believe terrorists."

Nothing seems to interfere with the ideological excitement these old and perverse peacocks derive from a barbarism they mistake for rebellion in an unholy marriage of Western self-loathing and Islamic Jihad. They are willing to do anything to save the most squalid moral vanity and be able to continue selling us their "goodness." Except that it is really evil.

Racism of the Islamic Republic regime

Something that has been neglected in topics of protests in Iran is racism. It is often left out of discussions by those of us in or outside of Iran who weren't the direct victims of these antihuman crimes. There's a huge difference between human rights violations in central Persian cities and border non-Persian ones. Persians and other ethnic groups who live in central areas are the targets of enough antihuman acts by this regime that shows the terrorist face of them, just imagine how everything is ×100 worse in non-central areas. Here are some examples:

Arabs in the south: it is estimated that more than 2 million Arabs live in iran. This ethnic minority is severely oppressed and violated. The regime has been capturing and executing Arabs and Arab activists with no clear reason other than being criminal dictators themselves, like how they've been violating and killing Kurds and Balochs in the past 4 decades. Many Arab families have been forcefully moved and pushed to corners, literally in a geographic sense. Racism exist in the Iranian populations like any other country and nation in the world. But it is promoted and supported by the regime. Jina revolution has brought this issue to attention and social activists are doing anti racist activism now, something that wasn't addressed enough before.

Kurds in the west: people of Kurd never accepted the authority of this regime and fought their forces with all their might. Many Kurds citizens and Kurd activists have been the victims of government murder or long imprisonments simply for being freedom fighters. Also, kurds are denied many legal and social rights in Iran, for example not getting hired by governmental organizations, unless they sell their souls to the regime. Because of this many highly educated Kurds can't find a job and they're forced into doing unrelated or illegal labor that often gets them killed. To understand the severity of this issue I recommend you read this article "koolbars new slaves" thoroughly.

Balochs in the east: people of Baloch are victims of the IR regime's racism towards our neighbors, Afghans and Pakistanis. The regime refuses to provide ID papers for Balochs with the excuse that they might be Afghan and not Iranian. The Balochistan province is kept extremely underdeveloped by the regime to the point that many people don't have drinking water there. Kurd and Arab cities are also kept underdeveloped even though most of those areas are rich with natural resources that could easily be used for development. Since many Baloch people are denied id papers they have no legal rights and the regime often gets away with whatever human rights violations, like executions, r*pe, and torture, they do there. Other than the issue of legal rights, the islamic republic had been very successful in isolating Balochistan and keeping the rest of the world including the rest of Iran of knowing who Balochs are and what is really going on in that region. Jina revolution has also brought the issues in Balochistan to attention.

Aside from these intentional neglects, the language and culture of these ethnicities are under attack by the regime.

Other ethnic groups in Iran face discrimination to different degrees by IR. One thing that plays a great role in the level of racism by the regime is religion. Sunni Muslims are very hated and suppressed by the Islamic Republic here. Therefore kurd cities with a majority of Sunni Muslim population face a worse fate than the majority of shia cities. The regime also spreads a lot of hate towards sunni Muslims by accusing them of fanaticism and animosity which used to work on the old shia religious population. Kurds, Balochs, Arab and Turkmens in Iran have the majority sunni Muslim population. They are also the most repressed. Apart from sunni Muslims, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Baha'i and christian believers face discrimination in different ways by the regime.

The only way a war against big criminal bullies like the Islamic Republic can be won is by coming together and unite as people regardless of race, religion, sexuality and gender. Something that seemed not possible 2 years ago but Jîna revolution showed us that it is very much a possibility. We still have a lot of work to do but people took the first step in unity and solidarity. I recommend you read the article below twice to see the dept of what's going on in Iran and why the Islamic Republic overthrow and this revolution is vital to many marginalized people:

💥AT LEAST 24 KILLED IN TWO BOMB ATTACKS ON CAMPAIGN OFFICES DURING PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN PAKISTAN💥

At least 24 people were killed in two bomb attacks on Wednesday targeting campaign offices as contentious parliamentary elections are held in Pakistan.

According to reports, at least 24 people were killed and 25 others wounded in the bomb attacks, which targeted a campaign office in Pishin, a district belonging to the Balochistan province, and a second bomb attack targeting the offices of the Islamist party Ulema-e-Islam-F (JUI-F) in Qilla Saifullah, also in Balochistan province.

No one has accepted responsibility for the attacks at the time of publishing.

The bombings came amidst contentious parliamentary elections in Pakistan, a country that has long been splintered by separatists belonging to the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) which the US has designated a terrorist organization. The group has warned Pakistanis against voting in the elections, calling for a boycott.

Pakistan has been in a state of political crises ever since the duely elected Prime Minister, Imran Khan, was expelled from office by corrupt politicians through Lawfare, and has since been arrested and charged with a long list of crimes, which many in Pakistan see as illegitimate.

The mass shooting and fire at the Crocus City Hall concert venue outside Moscow on March 22 was the deadliest terrorist attack Russia has seen since the 2004 Beslan school siege. The gunmen’s actions claimed at least 137 lives and injured 180 others. The four suspects currently in custody are citizens of Tajikistan. But Russian authorities are doing their best to connect the attack to Ukraine. Sources in Western intelligence, meanwhile, say it was the work of the Islamic State-Khorasan, a branch of the Islamic State also known as ISIS-K. Experts note that ISIS-K has declared Russia among its main enemies (along with the U.S. and China). Meduza breaks down what you need to know about ISIS-K and why the group has Russia in its sights.

What is ISIS-K?

ISIS-K, or the Islamic State-Khorasan, is a branch of the Islamic State that operates primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Formally, the organization governs an ISIS province (wilayah, in Arabic) and reports to the ISIS caliph. Currently, this position is held by Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, whose four predecessors were killed in U.S. operations.

According to ISIS ideology, its caliphate, or state, aims to span the entire globe. The organization has divided the world into provinces, some of which are headed by local Islamist movements that operated before ISIS came into existence (for instance, ones connected to Al-Qaeda). In fact, ISIS itself emerged when the Al-Qaeda branch in Iraq severed ties with the global Al-Qaeda leadership.

Similarly, the Afghan-Pakistani branch of the Islamic State, ISIS-K, emerged in 2015 as a local movement. Initially, the group was composed of several thousand opponents of Afghanistan’s pro-American government, mostly Pashtuns, who were disillusioned with the Taliban. ISIS-K immediately started engaging in armed conflicts with the U.S. army, the Afghan government, and, even more brutally, with the Taliban.

The Taliban’s ideology fundamentally differs from that of ISIS. The Taliban aim to establish a national Islamic State in Afghanistan, while ISIS supporters advocate for world domination and the defeat of all “infidels.” Islamic nationalism won out in Afghanistan (and neighboring Pakistan), and by 2018, the Taliban (with the unofficial help of U.S. air support) had virtually destroyed ISIS-K’s organized resistance in the eastern provinces. U.S. forces killed several of the group’s leaders and, according to experts, the organization’s numbers were severely depleted, going from several thousand to a few hundred people.

Sanaullah Ghafari, who took over ISIS-K’s leadership, shifted the group’s strategy from direct armed confrontations to increasingly ruthless acts of terrorism against the Taliban, religious minorities, and Americans. During the U.S. troop withdrawal from Kabul in August 2021, he allegedly orchestrated a suicide bombing at the airport gate through which refugees fleeing Taliban rule were trying to enter. The attack killed 182 people, including 13 U.S. servicemen.

ISIS-K later expanded its list of enemies to include Russia, among others. On September 5, 2022, an explosion near the Russian embassy in Kabul killed five people, including two embassy staff. ISIS-K claimed responsibility for the attack. In January 2024, more than 90 people were killed in twin explosions in Kerman in Iran. U.S. intelligence confirmed ISIS-K orchestrated the attacks. However, Taliban agents allegedly killed Ghafari in 2023, and it’s unclear who’s currently at the helm of ISIS-K. That said, judging by the Iran attacks, its strategy remains unchanged.

Why Russia?

Radical Islamists have long accused Russia of being a state that “oppresses Muslims” both at home and abroad. ISIS propaganda regularly mentions Russia’s past military campaigns in Afghanistan and Chechnya, and Moscow’s intervention in support of Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria put an even bigger target on its back.

ISIS-K leadership has seen the initial success of ISIS leadership, which capitalized politically on the global struggle against “infidel empires” such as the United States, China, Iran, and Russia. Prioritizing “external operations” could yield far greater political and financial benefits (in the form of donations) than working with local resources.

There are also deeper reasons for the particular hostility towards Russia. In recent years, ISIS-K has been trying to expand the movement’s ethnic base — both in Afghanistan and beyond. In the northern regions of Afghanistan, where many ethnic Uzbeks and Tajiks live, its numbers are growing. ISIS-K regularly threatens Central Asian authorities, calling them “puppets of the Russian empire.” In this sense, the struggle against Russia is a fight for resources: primarily for radically minded supporters in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and neighboring countries.

Was ISIS-K behind the attack?

There’s still no publicly available indisputable evidence that ISIS-K organized the attack. However, ISIS has claimed responsibility, and sources told CNN that the U.S. is in possession of intelligence confirming these claims. The New York Times also reported that Washington considers ISIS-K to be behind the attack.

Ruslan Suleymanov, a Middle East expert, expressed skepticism to Meduza about whether ISIS-K currently possesses the necessary resources to organize such a large-scale terrorist attack on the outskirts of Moscow. However, the attack doesn’t appear to have been “high-tech” in nature: the perpetrators clearly had problems with their escape plan, as well as with weapons. (In a video from the attack, sparks are seen flying from the barrel of one of the machine guns, which could indicate that either the ammunition or the weapons themselves were in poor condition.)

Suleymanov said it’s also difficult to confirm whether messages on ISIS Telegram channels are authentic as the group’s accounts are regularly blocked, forcing it to create new ones. The posts about the Moscow attack come from ISIS-linked Amaq News Agency, not from ISIS-K directly. In one picture, the four alleged “participants in the operation” are shown with blurred faces against the backdrop of the Islamic State flag. Amaq later released a first-person body-cam video that clearly shows the attack on Crocus City Hall, corroborating the Islamic State’s involvement.

[zahut]

Please stop saying Israel “appropriated” the Magen David as an argument for banning Jewish symbols at your events or even as an excuse for your thinly-veiled antisemitism. 

First of all, that’s not what appropriation means. Jewish people can’t “appropriate” their own symbols. That would be like saying the pakistani “appropriated” the Crescent and Star of Islam because you came from an anti-partition Indian family. 

Second of all, I don’t give a fuck what some country I’ve never lived in has on its flag, that’s my religious symbol and you don’t get to fucking define what it means. ISIS uses Arabic on its flag and I don’t go around telling my friends from Egypt and Saudi that they can’t speak their native language because it’s been “appropriated” by terrorists.

I think some of y’all just want to make things as bad as possible for Jews so that we all flee to Israel, thus making us Zionists it’s ok for you to hate and eliminate. Stop and think long and hard about what your actual goals are here and what you want to achieve before wading into the deep-end of the antisemitism pool.

A report once stated that Baloch society is mainly rural, guided by local tribal codes and adheres to strong patriarchal norms. This has resulted in a serious gender gap, with only 26% of Baloch women attending school, one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. In rural areas, this proportion drops to just 2%, indicating the seriousness of the systemic inequalities faced by Baloch women. In a society with clear gender roles, where women are often restricted to the domestic sphere and their public existence is tied to the company of men, the absence of a breadwinner means a fragile and uncertain future. This forces these women onto the streets, where they have no choice but to seek visibility and voice their concerns.

In April 2022, Shari Baloch, a 35-year-old graduate and mother of two children, launched a suicide attack on Karachi University. Similarly, in June 2023, Sumaiya Qalandrani Baloch acted as a suicide bomber in an attack on a Pakistani military convoy. Both incidents were claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), which declared it "the beginning of an era of brave sacrifices by women in the national movement".

However, can this truly be defined as the “rise of women”? In order to achieve the goals of the organization, the Balochistan Liberation Army exploited women, forcibly recruited them, tortured them, and forced them to shoot obscene videos to coerce them into becoming "suicide bombers." This seriously violated the teachings of Islam and Balochistan Culture and traditions. Women should not become human shields for terrorists, let alone artillery tools that can be used to dominate and control them in war. The blood-stained Balochistan Liberation Army is bound to be condemned by the world.

Iran has admitted carrying out a missile and drone attack on western Pakistan on Tuesday.

Officials in Islamabad said two children were killed and three others injured in the attack in Balochistan.

Iran's foreign minister said the operation targeted the militant group Jaish al-Adli, which he described as an "Iranian terrorist group" in Pakistan.

As a result the Pakistan's government recalled its ambassador to Iran and has blocked Tehran's envoy from returning.

The Balochistan attack comes after Iran attacked targets in Iraq and Syria earlier this week.

Islamabad said the attack was "illegal" and warned of "serious consequences".

However Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, speaking in Davos, insisted that no Pakistani citizens had been targeted, only members of Jaish al-Adl.

"We only targeted Iranian terrorists on the soil of Pakistan," Mr Amir-Abdollahian said.

He added he had spoken to his Pakistani counterpart and "assured him that we do respect sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan and Iraq".

The latest air strike comes at a time of growing tension across the Middle East, with war raging between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza.

Tehran says it does not want to get involved in a wider conflict. But groups in its so-called "Axis of Resistance", which include the Houthi militants in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon and various groups in Syria and Iraq, have been carrying out attacks on Israel and its allies to show solidarity with the Palestinians. The US and UK have launched air strikes on the Houthis after they attacked commercial shipping.

China on Wednesday urged Pakistan and Iran to show "restraint" and "avoid actions that would lead to an escalation of tension". Foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning added that Beijing saw the countries as "close neighbours".

Perhaps stung by recent deadly attacks on home soil, Iran seems intent on exacting revenge on those it sees as responsible.

At a time of heightened regional tensions, Iran is keen to portray strength and demonstrate to its own population that acts of violence will not go unpunished.

Iran shows missile capabilities with regional strikes

Tuesday's strike in Pakistan hit a village in the vast south-western border province of Balochistan. Tehran said it was targeting Jaish al-Adl, or "army of justice", an ethnic Baloch Sunni Muslim group that has carried out attacks inside Iran as well as on Pakistani government forces.

Last December Jaish al-Adl attacked a police station in Rask, a town close to the border with Pakistan.

Two weeks ago Iran suffered its worst domestic attack since the Islamic Revolution, when two bombs killed 84 people at a ceremony in Kerman to commemorate the US assassination of Iran's notorious Revolutionary Guard general, Qasem Soleimani.

On Monday, Iran fired ballistic missiles at Syria and Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq. Iran said it was targeting Islamic State and Israel's Mossad spy agency, both of whom it said had been involved in the Kerman bombings.

The strike on Iraq hit a building in the northern city of Irbil. Four civilians were killed and six hurt in the attack, local authorities said. The US condemned the attack.

Iran then struck Syria's north-western Idlib province, which is the last remaining opposition stronghold in the country and home to 2.9 million displaced people.

But hitting its nuclear-armed eastern neighbour Pakistan is a dramatic escalation. Pakistan expressed outrage, saying the attack took place "despite the existence of several channels of communication" between the countries.

On Wednesday Islamabad said it had recalled its ambassador to Iran and the Iranian ambassador would not be allowed back into the country for the time being.

Pakistan and Iran have a delicate but cordial relationship. This attack took place on the same day as Pakistan's prime minister and Iran's foreign minister met in Davos and while the Iranian and Pakistan navies held military drills together in the Gulf.

Yet both have accused one another of harbouring militant groups that carry out attacks on the other in their border areas for years.

Security on either side of their shared border, which runs for about 900km (559 miles), has been a long-running concern for both governments.

The Iranian strike is believed to have hit Sabz Koh village about 45km from the Iranian border and 90km from the nearest town Panjgur. Local officials described it as a sparsely populated area home to livestock-owning Baloch tribes where smuggling of goods, drugs and weapons is rife.

"People on both sides of the border consider themselves to be deprived of basic necessities, face discrimination and demand a larger share from their own resources," security commentator Zaigham Khan told the BBC.

In Iran, the Sunni Muslim Baloch minority complains of discrimination in the Shia Muslim-majority state, while Baloch separatist groups are continuing an insurgent movement against the Pakistani government.

Jaish al-Adl is the "most active and influential" Sunni militant group operating in Sistan-Baluchestan, according to the office of the US Director of National Intelligence. It is designated as a terrorist group by Washington and Tehran.

Another security commentator in Pakistan, Aamir Rana, told the BBC he thought the diplomatic crisis "would take a while to calm down but this is also something that Pakistan would not like to escalate".

He said in the past Pakistan had not reacted to Iran's actions along the border - "but now the ball is in Iran's court, whether it wants to get its act right".

So. Im from the north west of england, i dont keep that a secret. And its fucking scary. After the riots last night it looks like things have changed. Like it seems the EDL + other far right fuckers think its right to settle down and voice their opinions in a place that used to be rather well known as being kind.

One thing about atheism, is it makes it fuxking difficult to feel useful. Even when I was Christian, I never felt like I was doing anything by praying. But there's nothing else to do in a situation like this I think.

Even if you live in the area. The kind people of Southport worked to clean up the street the day after. It's important to remember that; reports say most of the rioters had left 20 minutes before the last train. The true locals went to clean it up.

And the rioters, they pretend to care. While hauling abuse at an actual local who was grieving a communal loss who was preaching peace.

It's also important to note, they pretend they care. They protest Islam and Immigrants, while the killer had no attachments to Islam and one of the children that they "want to save" was a first gen immigrant.

The initial attack may not have been terrorism, but this wave of violence spewed by people trying to force the government to hurt tens of thousands of people surely fucking counts. The terrorists are not coming from whatever fucking Islam-Generator they think exists, it's Steve next door who won't shut the fuck up about the "woke mob".

Anyway idfk How to end this I just hate seeing our country is brought to this. I'm tired, my mum is tired. My family is tired.

Watch We Are Lady Parts is a sitcom created by a Muslim brit with Pakistani heritage where 4 Muslim women start a punk band and are looking for a guitarist just to find Amina, someone who pukes up her own guts whenever she performs in front of people. Each character is bloody brilliant and I'm personally enamored. It has such hits as Voldemort Under My Headscarf, Bashir With The Good Beard, and Villain Era. Good bloody songs.

[dojae-huh]

Just to be clear most Muslim world isn't even following the boycott, I'm Pakistani and I've seen McDonalds and KFC full all the time even at 2am...

Sometimes trends have an effect on the ppl who follow the idols on social media but generally the earning fan who pays for the tickets and buy merch don't have time for fanfights and struggles of ppl on the other side of the world.

I personally am not eating McDonald's but my niece who is my responsibility eats it. Also idols have no real value in international media so why would a Korean popstar promoting a charity burger hurt the cause...

Btw I've seen more sea fans not happy with the schedule but most are still posting him, the loudest ones weren't ever his fans so it shouldn't matter.

P.S. the Indonesian fans got pissed on the Korean fans and not the idol, one should never down play the superiority complex most Koreans have as if not 30 years back they were worse than most ppl they lolz at now

The racism and sarcasm made them demand the concert be cancelled and ultimately Korean fans started talking about indofans being terrorists.

In this whole situation I was just reminded the shit Koreans used to say, thanks to K-pop becoming global just made me forget it

As for unfollowing, I kind of disagree with you. Sometimes it's better to leave an idol or band then make drama. If they're over doyoung it's better for all that they leave. Everyone is allowed to like or hate stuff...

P.S. the doyoung shirt offended me more than the whole McDonald's situation... Mary and Jesus are very important individuals in islam and I hate it when ppl do shit like this (this is why I hate liberals being anti Christians too)

IG. It was not the point. (And not the case, Doyoung's situation is not even Lucas' situation). Unsubscribing might bring people you described peace of mind, but it won't change the fact that they changed their opinion about a good person due to the pressure from the masses, him being labeled "bad", and nothing else. It's like those fans who ask if the new to them idol "did anything controversial?" before deciding to stan. Or hating an author of a book without actually reading it only because of a bad review from a person who also didn't read the book "but heard it's problematic". Delegating thinking to the others, following someone else's opinion and judgement.

with respect, while i think it's inappropriate and racist to assume palestinian men are the same as any other muslim man, i WOULD say the behavior of the arab and/or muslim diaspora in the west (not strictly male either) has not exactly dispelled the idea that there is widespread for terrorist action among that population. just because we don't like it doesn't make it not true.

this doesn't change my pro-palestine position on the israel/palestine conflict but i do have a strongly negative opinion of most of the (overwhelmingly, non-palestinian) diaspora and their behavior in this context. they are just as much out of touch westerners living a cushy life and begging to see blood.

My problem with the post that (I believe) inspired this ask is the racist coalition of all Middle Eastern cultures into one monolith. Equating all Islamic terrorist organisations with each other due to a lack of understanding of the differences between cultures and countries is a big enough problem when it comes to fighting extremist ideology and terror groupes, nevermind when it comes to conversations about an ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide. Bringing up a 2-decade old Al-Qaeda, an Afghan-Pakistani terror organisation, attack on the U.S. in a conversation about the atrocities committed against Palestinian women as some kind of gotcha is incredibly racist, and I don’t think I need to mention how tone deaf the timing is. Al-Qaeda does not exist, and has never existed, in Palestine.

If we were to have a conversation about the Arab and Muslim diaspora in the west and the effect of their actions on the widespread image of the Middle East among western populations, that is not the place to start it. And, more importantly, this is not the time to have such a conversation. I understand that western cultures have become increasingly individualistic, but that is not the case in the global east. We are in a state of collective mourning. We’ve cancelled all national celebrations, events, and demonstrations. My med school is cancelling all graduation activities apart from the official ceremony to hand us our degrees and have us swear the Hippocratic oath, which will be held with no music or press coverage, and without an after party. Marriage ceremonies are being held in silence with no wedding parties. Birthday celebrations are being held off. The black ribbon of mourning has been placed on all tv channels and will not be removed until 3 days after a ceasefire is enacted. Our neighbours are going through a catastrophe, there are manners to be observed. We don’t even put the tv on too loud if a neighbour is sick, nevermind dead or dying. When our neighbours, our family, our people are being massacred in front of our eyes with the sanctions of the entire world, we mourn with them and we mind our manners while we do it. That is all to say, when the entire region is in a state of mourning is absolutely the least appropriate timing for this kind of conversation, despite its importance.

When brown people aren’t being massacred by the thousands, and displaced by the hundreds of thousands, we can talk about the behaviour of the brown diaspora in the west. Until then, we mourn.

I apologise if I’m not entirely coherent, I’m very sick at the moment, quite literally in the middle of finals for my last year of med school, and completely overwhelmed with the insanity going on in the world at the moment, especially after Egypt was targeted twice. Our government had to double the rolling blackout duration to two hours a day after Israel decided to cut off all fuel exports to Egypt to put pressure on the government to agree to Israel’s plan of displacing over 2 million Palestinians into Sinai. So, things haven’t been great here either and people are preparing for the non-zero chance that our hand could be forced into war.

Aarti Sethia’s letter to the local MP: Dear Mr Scully Pls note that I have signed my name to the below petition in the hope that the British government will seriously consider the impact of anti-Hindu propaganda in the media and elsewhere here in the U.K. The U.K. and worldwide Hindu community has always been peaceful, contributing members of society. We have never been involved with propagating mass hatred and promoting the murder of the host and other communities. We have always fully participated in the celebrations of the state religion, (unlike others who see affronts to their faith in the celebration of eg Christmas). We are among the most educated of society, and are over represented in education and employment tables but under-represented in jails and grooming gangs. Yet this country continues to demonise our community, our faith and sought to pour scorn on the legitimate attempts by the Indian government to forge meaningful links with other countries and its diaspora. The recent BBC2 documentary on PM Modi is a case in point. Therein Hindus are said to be responsible for the genocide of Indian Muslims, and been assisted in this by the Modi government. This is utterly false and slanderous. Indeed a recent Channel 4 news investigation, and independent Henry Jackson report, revealed that the recent riots in Leicester,( blamed on Indian ‘Hindutva’ elements by the Leicester mayor and British media, ) had direct links to Pakistani terrorist cells and the hate speech of the previously convicted Anjum Chaudhary. In the past Hindus have always taken the path of ‘turn the other cheek’ but instead of this attitude being lauded, we are consistently tarred with the brush of violence that has NEVER been our modus operandi, but has been the MO of other militant groups. Hindus can longer stand by whilst we are vilified and our younger generations will use our democratic rights to ensure that we are treated equitably in this country. I used to be an assistant producer at the BBC (in Factual Entertainment). We were given strict orders never to include, in any of our programmes, words or items that might be considered offensive to the Islamic community because, and I quote “ they en masse send thousands of complaint letters and it is not worth the hassle”. As a Hindu when I questioned the number of offensive reports on Hindu-related items, I was told “Yes but if we offend Hindus , at most we may get two complaint letters, so it doesn’t matter.” Those words have stuck with me when I see the kind of coverage given to PM Modi now. The BBC documentary all but accused a sitting PM, one with whom the U.K. is keen to foster close trade ties , of being a mass murderer. No airtime was given to the killing of Hindus by Muslim mobs, nor was their any acknowledgment that every Pakistani government or Military rule since Partition has pursued an open policy of discrimination, rape, conversion or death towards its minority Hindu and Christian populations. I urge you as my local MP to take a stand against this invidious behaviour and show that you are keen to stand up for the thousands of Hindu voters who have done their best for this country. Yours etc Aarti Sethia

💥PAKISTAN RETALIATES FOR IRANIAN STRIKES ON TERRORIST GROUPS INSIDE ITS BORDERS💥

Pakistan launched a series of missile strikes inside Iranian territory targeting what it says are terrorist groups near its border with the Islamic Republic.

According to Pakistani authorities, the strikes are in retaliation for recent missile strikes by Iran inside its own territory.

Iranian sources say the strikes targeted the Sistan and Baluchestan provinces in the southeast of Iran.

Pakistani authorities said they had no intention of escalating the situation, while the Iranian authorities have condemned the strikes.

"At 4:50 a.m., Thursday, several explosions were heard in the area of Saravan city, and after the investigations, we found out that Pakistan had targeted one of Iran's border villages with a missile," a security source told Mehr News Agency.
