let's say that what those people said is true, it is still unimportant because they are out of reach from us by definition, just like shell companies that are out of reach from government hands. what matters is what we can reach and do something about it.

Your comment about the gatekeepers’ function is so spot on. Reminds me of the scene from the movie _The Blues Brothers_ where they ask the woman behind the bar, “What kind of music do you usually have here?” and she says, “We got both kinds. We got country AND western.” And Americans think radio is just AM and FM and that television is just what they feed us through those cables. We just have no clue how much our view of the world has been deliberately and artificially restricted and how thoroughly propagandized we are as a public. Now with the internet there are cracks, but how to view what we see through those cracks has already been suggested to us. So… the work you’re doing is CRUCIAL!

Truly a rebuttal from the fringes

عاجل : الاحتلال يُهدد مصر بقصف أي شاحنة تُحاول الوصول إلى معبر رفح لإدخال مساعدات إلى سكان غزة

I was fortunately also the target of Daniel Pipes in the past and wisely chose to ignore it and let is speak for itself lol

that is not reminding, that is diverting from useful discussion

see? This is exactly what I have talked about with the term Kuffar

I actually like that idea. No bars, much larger saunas and gyms, a prayer room. Something that is healthy fun and would serve to remind people that Muslims aren't monks.

You never used to get ads?

He thinks the only way to make democracy work in Indonesia is to make the population civilised

Probably they do. Youtube does too. But I was just wondering about unique perspectives from this particular group because of the Islamic perspective and particular interest in geopolitics. I can check out TicToc. Thank you.

Relevance? If they didn't own gold, they owned silver. Humanity used gold and silver beyond the medieval age.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvk_XylEmLo Very interesting video. Please don't view it just from the Capitalist vs other ist perspective. From a historical/anthropological lens its a particularly more better viewing and it explains the changes to how life is ordered and more effectively managed in the more "mechanistically" advanced/developed countries. Its kinda ironic as I'm still working during the weekend so shows what side I've developed affinity for subconsciously. The part that really got me thinking was the "rage against the machine" approach towards the introduction of Clocks in the work place and its continuation into the non working aspects of the workers lives (church clocks corresponding with work time). I'm reminded of two incidents, one was when the masjid congregation was pressuring the imam to hurry up as the timetable/clock time for salah had come. He exclaimed with "The clock is not your imam" and he reminded us that its good to add a minute or shave a minute as a practise in order to remind ourselves of that. Another was after Fajr class we neared Dhuha time but there was still uncertainty with regards to the visual certainty of the sun's position, the younger teacher advised us to pray the time that the timetable outlined whilst the more experienced and older imam advised us to add 15 minutes onto that as we are not in a hurry and we can pray in our homes after anyways. Not really picking side but i did notice its usually a battle between the more younger folk vs the older.

Who's gonna tell her

Why do you make fitnah (trial)?
