Duke: "So then Ra's went-"

Damian: "You know that's not grandfather's name right"

Duke: "Hm?"

Damian: "that's not his name it's a title, you're supposed to say the whole title, his name isn't 'Head'"

Duke: "She give me Ra's on my Ghul til I…"

Damian, sighing, unsheathing a sword: "Thomas, I know you will survive this, so I will not be holding back"

If you’re not Jewish/Muslim/Israeli/Palestinian and you are talking publicly in any way about the i/p conflict you should probably do your research about dog whistles and take that info seriously. It shouldn’t be up to affected groups to educate you while actively being triggered and traumatized.

It’s not fun to constantly worry if your friends secretly hate you or if they are sliding into antisemitic spaces or are ok with genocide as long is against the right group of people.

You aren’t free of antisemitism or Islamophobia just because you don’t sit around thinking, “I hate Jews/Muslims/Arabs.” This shit is structural. I don’t care how many Jews or Muslims or Arabs you know. If you haven’t actively deconstructed your own bias against these groups, you’re probably still hateful whether you realize it or not.

The Awakening of Destiny

Chapter 2: The Silent Transformation

You begin to feel the weight of your new name, Omar, settling into your very being. It’s subtle at first—small changes in your thoughts, in the way you carry yourself, in the choices you make. The practices and beliefs of the Arabization movement start to take root within you, almost imperceptibly shifting the foundation of who you are. As the days pass, you find yourself drawn deeper into the world I represent. Your lifestyle begins to align more closely with the ideals of our movement. You start to adopt the habits and practices that define us, and with each passing moment, you become more integrated into this new identity. The food you once ate, the clothes you wore, even the way you speak—all begin to change, reflecting the transformation that is occurring within you. But as you change, Omar, so too does the world around you. Friends, family, society—they all begin to notice the differences. They sense that something within you is shifting, and their reactions are far from understanding. They don’t see the purpose that now drives you, the strength you are beginning to cultivate. Instead, they see only the unfamiliar, and with that comes resistance. The people who once knew you as one of their own now find it difficult to understand the path you are on. They question your choices, challenge your beliefs, and push back against the transformation that is reshaping you. The struggle is not just external, but internal as well. Doubts creep in, testing your resolve, making you question whether this path is truly yours. But in the quiet moments, when the world’s noise fades away, you begin to experience something else—visions. In your dreams, a mysterious figure appears, guiding you towards the new path you are on. These visions are powerful, almost overwhelming, yet they are unclear. You feel a connection to this figure, a deep sense of comfort and purpose when you see them, but you cannot fully understand the messages they are conveying. The visions leave you both comforted and puzzled. They reassure you that you are not alone in this journey, that there is a greater force at play, guiding you towards something far beyond the life you once knew. Yet, they also challenge you to trust in the unknown, to have faith in the path that is unfolding before you, even when it is shrouded in mystery. As you continue to transform, Omar, the struggle becomes a crucible, refining you, hardening your resolve, and strengthening the connection to the new identity you are forging. You are no longer just the boy you once were; you are becoming something more. The name Omar is no longer just a label—it is the embodiment of the strength, the purpose, and the destiny that now defines you. The silent transformation is well underway, and though the path is fraught with challenges, you begin to realize that this is only the beginning. The visions will continue to guide you, and in time, the doubts will fade, leaving only the fire of purpose that now burns within you. The world may resist, but you, Omar, are becoming unstoppable.

hi, i saw your post about people’s attitudes toward languages and i know it’s true that people do treat others poorly and say really awful things about their languages, i’m not disputing that it happens

but i just wanted to say i really like how the arabic i’ve heard sounds—i know there are many many different accents and i’ve definitely not heard them all of course, but the speech i have heard online and irl sounds lilting, and friendly and warm.

and the translation notes from arabic to english where people try to explain the nuance and full meaning, it seems like arabic lends itself to very poetic phrasing (like that “first written words started here” sign in Uruk)

and it could go without saying that arabic script is beautiful

i really love linguistics, language is fascinating and it’s wonderful that we have such a powerful way to convey ideas and feelings to others, and there’s something special to everyone about the way they learned to communicate from their family and in their hometown. it’s heartbreaking to think that anyone makes others feel bad for making the same sounds their mother makes to comfort them.

anyway sorry this was so long, sorry so many people in so many regions have such hostility toward something so beautiful and meaningful to you.

thank you, i always love seeing appreciation for arabic. i adore arabic poetry myself and one of the things that drive me to get better at english as best i can is to be able to do arabic justice in translation <3

A cool positive to learning Hebrew is I'm left-handed, so if I ever learn to write Hebrew, I won't ever have to deal with pen smudges on my pinky 🤩

[worstloki]

negative connotations to Arabic phrase ‘God is Great’ incorrect. average praying Muslim does takbir (says Allahu Akbar) a minimum 95 times a day and should have been counted.

I was talking to my friend and she told that I'm pretty and have nice hair and that men should be catcalling me on the street.

So as Christian Arabic woman, I said "What, do want me to like put on a hijab?"

So, she told me I need therapy.

Hey protip for gerim and conversion students that is something I wouldn't personally have thought of but was advised by a friend who is Jewish by birth: if you are planning on being visibly Jewish in public, non-Jewish spaces (especially if traveling), make sure you learn the word(s) for "Jew" (including both the neutral and not-nice ones) in as many languages as possible, especially any you are likely to encounter in your region or travels. You definitely want a heads up if people are talking about you as a Jew - hopefully it's nice or neutral, but you definitely want a heads up if it's not.

usually i try to respect strangers' privacy and not listen in on their phone conversations (<- lie, i'm a nosy bitch) but this girl on the tram was speaking in such a fascinating mixture of hungarian and arabic, i could listen to it for hours

some arabs and some muslims from the swana region continue being shocked at their governments for not doing anything and worse having a hand in the genocides that are being committed right now in both palestine and sudan or the massacres in yemen show how much they have never cared about the indigenous issues or the ethnic groups and religious minorities around them and what these governments commit every single day on and off their soil and how long they have ignored the zionist occupation and how they normalized it through the years and how some of them even supply it with oil, gas and fruits and vegetables even. and how these governments have for decades and still to this moment pick and choose what genocide they want to acknowledge.

It's hard to keep seeing people that are flabbergasted by this or genuinely thinking that turkey,egypt,iran,saudi arabia,jordan,uae,syria governments...etc are for justice and for freedom or they're not capable of doing much for Palestine right now and they're doing their best. or thinking a dictator like saddam hussein that has committed uncountable massacres actually would stop this if he was alive right now I keep seeing videos of the ba'athist iraq flag raised and people praising him in some protests ignoring the fact that he's genocidal himself or because those people he killed aren't human enough and deserved it so it doesn't make him genocidal in their eyes. or saying we coexisted under the ottoman empire and it was so much better than now which completely erases my people's genocide and so much more.

half of these conversations is lesser evil bs and palestinian struggle and liberation being used for this and for spreading disgusting ideologies about another group of people is absolutely evil.

I mentioned I am putting together new readings lists and in the order of what I've been most questioned about:.

readings I've found helpful in making sense of my childhood adverse experiences, particularly psychology theories on trauma and feminist texts about sexual violence

introductory pieces to marxism and economic/class warfare analysis

south/latin american feminists, particularly with decolonial and antiblacknesss lines

less Introductory Social Reproduction Theory works I particularly enjoy

I might expand the first into including some literary works as well. as always I want to give a little of my own commentary and that takes me even longer than making sense of my digital and physical files. but if anyone has their own suggestions I would love to hear them.

besides spanish portuguese and english I read french and my girlfriend Italian

The Awakening of Destiny

Chapter I: The Awakening of Omar

The young Chinese man stood before the brother from the movement, uncertainty etched into every line of his face. His life, once marked by the mundane and the unremarkable, was about to undergo a transformation beyond anything he could have imagined. The name he once bore, a relic of his past, had been shed. Now, he was reborn. Now, you are Omar.

The power of a name is more profound than most can comprehend. It shapes identities, alters destinies, and forges new paths where none existed before. When the brother from the movement called you by your new name, Omar, he saw the confusion in your eyes, but he also saw something else—an awakening. The name is not just a label; it is a key, unlocking the potential within you, aligning you with a movement that has silently expanded its influence across centuries.

As the brother stood before you, Omar, you could feel the weight of generations resting on your shoulders. The movement thrives on the cultivation of strength—strength of mind, body, and spirit. These are the masculine ideals deeply embedded in Arab-Islamic culture. The harsh environments of the desert, coupled with unwavering religious convictions, have forged men of unmatched resilience and confidence. You are now part of this lineage, Omar. You are the embodiment of this strength.

With each repetition of your name, Omar, the transformation began to take hold. At first, it was subtle—your tastes, your preferences, your surroundings all began to shift. But as you immersed yourself in the culture that the movement represents, the changes became more pronounced. You grew taller, stronger. Your skin darkened to a rich, commanding hue, and your features became more assertive. The name Omar had done its work, transforming you into a symbol of Arab strength and dominance.

Now, as the brother from the movement stands before you, he sees not just a boy, but a man—a man ready to carry forward the ideals of the movement. You are more than just a name, Omar. You are a force, a weapon of cultural conquest. The silent power of Arabization flows through you, reshaping the world into a reflection of its ideals.

The time has come, Omar. You will continue the cycle, reaching out to others, planting the seeds of transformation just as the brother did with you. The name Ahmed will be next, and the cycle will begin again. This is our destiny, and you are now its vessel.

In this moment, the brother sees the fire in your eyes, the purpose that now burns within you. The transformation is complete. You are ready to lead, ready to dominate, ready to reshape the world in our image. The path ahead is clear, and you will walk it with the strength and confidence that only those like us possess.

You are Omar, and the world will know your name.

i don’t understand why people making ‘dune is bad because of cultural appropriation’ posts also tell people that it doesn’t matter when the plot is explained to them because like. the plot is that the cultural appropriators are the bad guys? that fundamentally changes everything, no? a white guy quite literally declares himself the messiah on a planet that has been exploited for decades because it is home to a valuable resource. the white people in the film are the americans and arrakis is the middle east and the spice is oil (i know the book was written in the 60s so this wasn’t the analogy that the author had in mind but if the shoe fits…). they appropriate the culture to win them over. you’re upset that jessica is wearing ‘muslim’ clothing, but she is doing so to pretend to be one with them so that they will more easily accept her son as ruler over them. it’s not a white saviour narrative - paul doesn’t save them he commits a genocide. like. how does this not make a difference to how you view it?
