This illustrates the shallowness, cultural poverty, & inferiority complex of this segment of Saudi society. Aside from the heresy, they debase themselves to imitate Anglo-Americans but have no connection to the Christian or Celtic pagan roots that give Halloween meaning. Even if you don’t participate in Halloween (as Muslims shouldn’t), it still has meaning based in the harvest, death, & renewal which people outside the culture have no access to, as commercialized as it is. This highlights the superficiality & silliness of Saudis doing this.

So it seems the @RadioGenoa hate account is run by an apparently Asian activist for the French neo-fascist party Rassemblement National (National Rally), called the National Front until 2018. Here he is hugging RN leader Marine LePen @MLP_officiel & putting up RN campaign signs.

Image I'm saying "seems" because the evidence points to this that others have pointed out strongly suggest the person calling himself Louis Montpellier Natio with the handle @Natio_1976 runs the account. He has now changed his profile to this: Image

Bin Laden’s letter resonates with a segment of young people because it was most likely ghost-written by Adam Gadahn, a Californian child of hippies who converted to Islam, beat up the imam of his mosque then made his way to Al Qaeda where he became a high level propagandist. 1/n
Image Gadahn had obviously binged on Noam Chomsky & Howard Zinn so nearly all his videos for AQ have this “people’s history” content delivered in his shrill, haranguing, unhinged style. 2/n

Montgomery County, Maryland Councilmember Kristin Mink tells the county public school board @MCPS that Muslim families who seek the right to opt out of teachings on sexual morality that violate their religion are on the same side as white supremacists Are Muslim parents the same as white supremacists if they don’t want their girls to be taught that they can become boys?

After the Supreme Court issued #Dobbs some Muslim supporters of Roe v. Wade mocked the idea that Roe's extreme liberalization of #abortion led to promiscuity and contributed to the very problem that liberal abortion law purports to solve. And more fornication & more abortions. 🧵 But let's take a look at the Indiana lawsuit filed last month by the ACLU on behalf of a Muslim woman claiming that Indiana's new restrictive law on abortion violates her religious freedom because she follows the lenient position that Islam allows abortion before 120 days. 2/9

When it comes to Islam, there is no sincere, legally plausible religious freedom claim for abortion. That’s because (1) all Islamic scholars agreed abortion is forbidden for any reason after ensoulment (120 days of fetal age) except to save the mother’s life, hence there’s no claim a state law violates Muslim religious liberty insofar as it restricts abortion after that.

NEW: American Muslim attitudes on abortion law. A @CAIRNational poll finds at least 48% support banning #abortion after 20 weeks or earlier for any reason but a medical emergency. 🧵

Only 13.7% said they support abortion until birth without restriction. cair.com/press_releases… Image The number of American Muslims supporting prohibition after 20 weeks, 15 weeks & 6 weeks was about equal. 7% would support bans without any exception.

This reveals that American Muslims are Islamically orthodox on the issue (surprisingly so, if the media narrative is believed).
