الشمس شمسي والعراق عراقي
ما غير الدخلاء من أخلاقي
داس الزمان على جميع مشاعري
فتفجر الابداع من اعماقي
اجريت في الصخر العقيم جداولا
وحملت نور الله في احداقي
أنا منذ فجر الأرض ألبس خوذتي
ووصية الفقراء فوق نطاقي
قدري بأن كل الحروب تجيئني
مجنونة تسعى لشد وثاقي
فمن السيوف إلى الرصاص مدائني
ذابت من الإحراق والإغراق
ومن الشموع الى الدموع حبيبتي
محفوفة بخناجر السراق
وأنا الجميل السومري البابلي
كانت يدي قيثارة العشاق
ملأت فضاءات الوجود قصائدي
حتى كأن الشعر صوت عراقي
وتحالفت كل العصور لمقتلي
فأغظتها بتماسكي الخلاق
وتنمرت واستأسدت وتفرعنت
فحملتها جبلا على الاعناق
اسمع صهيل الحزن بين مفاصلي
اضحى صديقي، كنيتي، ميثاقي
هربت طيوري حين ضاع امانها
فكأنني شجر بلا أوراق
لكنها همس العراق بمسمعي
يفني الأسى وجبين عزك باقي

Facts denial is *not* ignorance. It's also *not* a mere lack of critical thinking. Facts denial is:
1. Refusal to acknowledge the truth even if you can see it before your own eyes
2. Refusal to consider the evidence because it may uncover an inconvenient truth you'd rather deny
3. Refusal to take any action premised about the facts even if you begrudgingly acknowledge them

Last night someone commented on this thread by saying I should "stick to journalism" (I'm not a journalist fwiw). The comment kinda made me nostalgic about a past life and I want to take a few minutes to tell you about it
I hadn't been tweeting about ideological topics for a couple years (or more). We have limited time and energy, and since Trump's election, Arab tyranny has been so empowered that we had to focus completely on pushing back.
Speaking about fine ideological points seemed like a luxury I didn't have. When you're faced with a beast and have to fight for your life and your comrades, it isn't the time to be discussing philosophy. It's time to stand your ground and fight for your values.

Serious problem that Salafism has invaded our minds so deeply that even when we try to counter it, we are using its epistemology as a starting point, or even as a foregone conclusion. We have a generation of Muslims who aren't even aware that Salafi myths are myths.
Picture someone who only watches Fox News and so all of their arguments are pre-filtered. They aren't even aware that these arguments are either untrue or that the counter-arguments against them are not just solid but devastating
This is what happened to the Sunni Muslim mind the past fifty years or so. We have a generation that grew up listening to Salafi myths to the point that they don't even know that they are myths; listening to Salafi arguments to the point they don't know a counter-argument exists.
