NirAllah is a Malaysian Hafizah (someone who memorized the Quran entirely). She knows multiple Qira’at (Variant readings of the Quran). She wrote: Your videos made me who i am today, big thanks, Abdullah. I highly support your work sir... twitter.com/nirallah/
I must say one of my favorite videos is the Surah FaQaf. It is both hilarious and amazing. Do include this in your testimony. It does in fact sounds like the Quran!
If it was true that the Quran is of high eloquence, the Companions wouldn’t have a big time collecting and editing the verses during 4 caliphates’ days. Even Umar seems baffled by some ‘additional verses’ Ubayy bin Ka’b told him. These all were recorded in the hadith.
Truth to be told, the event of collecting the Quran was a shady one. In short, Quran is of no high eloquence. Reciting Abbasid Era poems is more pleasurable than the Quran.

Islam and polygamy.

I don't blame individuals. I blame systems. People will be people. Good and bad. But bad systems will be prone to abuse. Islam is an example of a bad system. It puts all the power in men's hands. For example, power to marry multiple women.
Why would Islam allow a man to marry a second woman? Probably because that's how you grow the religion FAST. I don't have a problem with polygamy if it's done fairly and the woman gets the same right. If only the man, I would say that isn't a fair system.
If she doesn't agree with him marrying a second woman, what can she do? It's "halal", permitted in Islam. And he is even given the moral 'authority' to do so, whereas in western culture it would be considered cheating if he did that behind her back. In Islam, it's okay.

How Islam Has Changed Since Muhammad Died thread
Islam has clearly changed over the centuries. The 'Islam' of today is NOT what Prophet Muhammad practiced, by any means. What did he even practice is a bit of a mystery. The only records we have are from the seerah and the hadith which come hundreds of years after.
During Muhammad's time, there was no compiled Quran. There was 7 ahruf (variant readings) that people would recite according to their local dialects, sometimes written down on bones and bark of trees.

A lot of people ask me why bother responding to Dawahman. Why give him attention, he's a low IQ moron, not worth spending any time on, and so on?

Well it's simple. My goal is to engage. Dawahman by speaking about me has opened the door for me to respond. 1/3
People are watching and they want to see how we will react. I hope to reach some of his audience this way.

Do exmuslims react with class and civility? Or do they resort to insults and slander back?

I want to maintain the upper moral ground and also be an example for others 2/3
As to how to dialogue with Muslims, no matter how rudely and offensively they react.

And clearly we have support from Muslims too, that he was in the wrong. That's why he apologized.

This was Cheryl's goal as well, to remain civil in the face of abuse. 3/3

Today I will share some anecdotes of my strange two or three years in this media world. It has been a strange loop.
I started off writing a legal blow over a decade and a half ago. The topic was government misconduct and the overcriminalization problem. My blog was one of the first to ever be cited in a judicial opinion. (2006)

I don’t say that to brag, only to illustrate a point

- I’m OLD, have written about a lot of stuff, and have always lost readers.

That’s why the latest mutiny of new people (most MAGA) saying Trump made me or whatever, is silly.

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.
This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
A few example of flat earth videos that were promoted by YouTube #today:

So I recently followed @muslimmental and thought I'd share my mental health journey. This is a thread. I'm overcoming my OCD and Alhamdulillah have gotten over my worst episode of depression. I am technically a Hafizah. I've memorized the Quran Alhamdulillah.
So i'm writing this to end the stigma on having mental disorders equals to you having weak iman. I'm not at all claiming that my iman is strong. But muslims suffering from MDD often gets the comment "oh read more Quran, get closer to Allah" which are good general advice
However, the mindset of depression and having other mental disorders are caused by the lack of ibaadah makes it harder for those in need of psychiatric treatment. Here is my story. As I mentioned, I memorized the Quran from the year 2014-2017.

NEW: Google bosses have suppressed an explosive memo circulating inside the company revealing its censored China search plan. The memo said the search system would store users' location data & share their search records "unilaterally" w/ a Chinese company: theintercept.com/2018/09/21/goo…
The memo was authored by an engineer who said they were asked to work on the censored search project, code-named Dragonfly. It began circulating in early September & contained a detailed analysis of the censored search system based on an internal review.
Google executives discovered that the memo was being passed around the company & responded furiously. People who had viewed or saved the memo were ordered to immediately delete copies of it & cease sharing it with others.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Today I #GoSilent for a man named Tom. I don't know his last name, rank, or very much else. He died in Vietnam. His story has always haunted me. The short version is this:

When my father went to Notre Dame, he, like all nerds in the '60s, thought he wanted to be an engineer. /1
key flaw with this plan is my father is a genius, but a complete math moron. So the college of engineering was like abject torment for him.

He made fast friends with Tom, who had mistakenly enrolled in the college of engineering instead of the college of English (ENG error) /2
So there they were, freshman year, failing math together, and knowing if they failed they got kicked out of school and sent to Vietnam. They also couldn't transfer out of the engineering program unless they had a marginally passing average. /3
