Msreading Iran

"Women Life Freedom" is not a feminist slogan and this is not a “women’s revolution.” The events unfolding in major parts of the Muslim world mean that after almost 200 years, the 1848 revolutions finally resume: the autonomous individual is far from dead, with a tip of the hat to George Orwell.

"Islam is not a religion," Answer to Lloyd de Jongh - Part 2

There can be nothing more tedious than listening to believers in the throes of disagreement. Readers interested in this kind of discourse would do better listening to Mohamed Hijab or Zakir Naik. At least they'll be entertained.

"Take your Islam and go!"

Dissidents/Ex-Muslims

"Take your Islam and go!"

This is much more powerful than the already powerful "Death to the dictator!" Of course, it also implies death to dictatorship, yet nothing can be more direct and unequivocal than "Take your Islam and go!" It is not our Islam, we don't want it, and we don't want those who want it! GO!

Anatomy of a madness, Part 4

Anatomy of a madness, Part 4

I read The Satanic Verses in the winter of 1996-97, unemployed and frozen, and again in the winter of 2014-15, Charlie Hebdo on TV 24/7. The third time was in that magical realist summer of 2020, with a fresh-ish MFA to my name, to study the work as art. 12 August 2022: the author survived.

"Will Nupur Sharma ever lead a normal life? Should moderate Muslims speak up?" - A commentary - Part 3

Hindu talk of boycotting Muslim businesses is partly out of helpless despair, and partly out of an urgency to do something when they have no idea what to do. There is nothing either helpless or desperate about jihad murder. It is calculated, meticulously planned, and painstakingly executed.

Eid al-Adha, sacrifice no more

Eid al-Adha, sacrifice no more

While the relationship between Islam and the kufaar expands Islam, the relationship between the scholars and lay Muslims sustains it. The rejection of the relationship between the scholars and lay Muslims is huge, for it is existential.

Words, propaganda and head of a newborn babe, Part 2

Propaganda is truth presented in such a way as to achieve a particular effect on the one exposed to it, whether the claim is believed or not is unimportant, therefore whether it is true or not is unimportant. This is exactly why Muslims lie so much.

Words, propaganda and head of a newborn babe, Part 1

It is possible that this was not a crime, but it was most certainly not a "botched surgery," as some are so anxious to declare.

The panic of the sheikhs

Atheism/religion

The panic of the sheikhs

Atheism spooks the sheikhs. People cannot turn to them for answers, and must seek and find their own answers. Lying flat dissolves the CCP’s power over the Chinese people in exactly the same way as a Muslim woman marrying an atheist does.

The double death of "the Palestinians" - Part 1

The double death of "the Palestinians" - Part 1

The kufaar are successful in this life, Muslims are successful in the next life. It's as simple as that. When Muslims sever themselves from the next life, they set their humanity free. They have something to lose here and now, and all the world is better for it. That's the whole story. That's it.

Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 5

Were they not in such a parlous state, they would see that Zemmour is their very last hope to stop the slide towards the stark alternatives of either civil war or barbarism
