Islam is a religion that thrives in freedom primarily because Allah has made it clear that he does not accept a submission that is forced. In other words, Allah has made it incumbent on Muslims to convey Islam in a manner that wins the heart, not in a manner that alienates it. It is in this spirit that Umar Ibn al-Khattab, Khalid Ibn al-Walid, Amr Ibn al-Aas, Suhail Ibn Amr, Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan and many many others (RA) went from resolute enmity towards Islam to wholeheartedly embracing and propagating it across multiple continents...

Macron's firm support for Saied's coup in #Tunisia is a huge slap in the face of Ennahda and everything they did to uphold good ties with France.

Ennahda were so committed to upholding good ties with Paris that... (1/3) ...even when Muslim world raged over Macron's defence of vulgar insults towards Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, use of the term 'Islamic terrorism',+crackdown on french Muslims, Ghannouchi met with 🇫🇷 amb to tell him "our friendship will not be disturbed by minor fleeting, marginal events"

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "this is Uhud, the mountain that loves us and we love it". There is therefore an exceptionally dark symbolism to Bin Salman's latest plans to detonate Mount Uhud in Madina to make way for his new project...

#SaudiArabia #Vision2030 The reported plan is to demolish parts of Mount Uhud to make space for a new medical facility.

The issue that #SaudiArabia, #UAE and #Egypt have with #Turkey is that #Erdogan's Islamic rhetoric personally evokes deep resonance from Arab+Muslim populations.

In other words, Erdogan wields significant influence on populations that these Arab regimes violently seek to control The expectation in Riyadh, UAE and Cairo is that an ousting of #Erdogan will relegate #Turkey back to nationalist isolationism and therefore 'better ties'. The expectation is that the vigour with which Turkey's ties have soared with the Muslim world (🇵🇰🇮🇩🇸🇳🇲🇾🇩🇿etc) will dissipate
