It seems strange at first to praise for her courage a woman who stands up and condemns American corporate enabling of the Zionist war machine, while ignoring or condemning thousands upon thousands of Muslims who sacrificed their careers, homelands, families, freedom and lives... ...to fight that same war machine.

It makes sense, however, in the context of "pressure release" operations. Praising and encouraging such "activism" encourages Muslims to release their rage in a way that doesn't threaten the status quo, and might at best lead to some...

Freemasonry, constitutionalism, secularism, and citizenship

Almost all modern nations are based upon constitutions, and most of these constitutions trace their lineage back in large part to the American constitution. A significant number of the authors of the American constitution were active freemasons, and the American constitution itself was modelled to some extent after the constitutions of Masonic lodges.

Islamizing doctrines of asymmetric warfare

One ideological danger of the modern jihadi movement is the influence of leftist rhetoric in asymmetric warfare.

Many of the successful challenges to Western hegemony over the last century have come from leftists or communists. In the context of modern warfare, it's easy to see why Muslims would seek to learn from this example. However, these doctrines often come with ideological baggage.

One prominent example is the idea of "revolution." This is actually rooted in Hegelian dialects which were...

Every cohesive national identity in the world was established through a process of homogenization that involved mass killing.

Historically, Islamic government was much more tolerant of ethnic and linguistic diversity than Western nation-states.

France and French identity... ...were constructed by suppressing Breton, Basque, and Occitan cultures.

British identity was constructed by suppressing Welsh, Irish, and other Gaelic cultures.

Spanish identity was constructed by suppressing Catalans, Basques, and Galicians.

These processes were...

No mentally and physically able Muslim man has an excuse for not participating in struggle fi sabilillah.

If someone can't physically make it to a front, they can contribute financially.

If they can't contribute financially, they can help in media and da'wah. Struggle fi sabilillah is like any other military effort. There is organization and ranks.

We should be striving not only to defeat the enemy but to rise in the ranks and become engaged in more important and blessed tasks and duties.

Great replacement theory is real to a large extent.

Jews who themselves would never consider marrying a non-Jew directly and indirectly back media promoting interracial and intercultural marriages/relationships.

This fits with the general trend of modernity which started... ...under the medieval Church of atomizing and individualizing society by breaking down ties of kinship.

The Church gained a lot of power from this, and when the Reformation started, Jews jumped at the opportunity and started financially backing reformers.

US Prioritizing Support for Israel Over Ukraine

The US's support for Israel while withdrawing support from Ukraine may actually be an indication that the Muslim ummah is more powerful than Russia.

US support for Israel is not only due to the power of the Zionist lobby... and Jewish control over media and finance. It's also about the West having a forward base to maintain an acceptable status quo in Middle East.

There several reasons Israel is better suited to this job than the West.

1) Jews from poor backgrounds such as Mizrahi, Eastern...

What is missing from this kind of analysis is the role of globalization in technology production, and the role of law in globalization.

Legally speaking, the international order has a heavy liberal slant, and major liberal powers like the US, UK, and EU are its guarantors.

This is why we are trapped in a cycle of repetitive, disappointing attempts to use the nation-state paradigm to establish Islamic governance - because this is the only legal paradigm compatible with the global markets governed by liberal hegemony.

In such debates I realize the importance of the book I'm going to publish soon in sha Allah.

The economic system we are living under is fundamentally anti-family, and MUST be in order to function.

It was built on destroying families and must continue to destroy families...

https://twitter.com/VeryIntereste15/status/1885430490120810570

...in order to grow. And it has no goal or objective other than perpetual growth.

This realization is a call to the importance of implementing sharia, because economic systems are expressions of law.

This also relates to the issue of technology, because Islamic sharia...

It's not an issue of Najd. The old city of Diriyyah is very beautiful.

Rather, it has to do with defying the command of Allah and taking the kuffar as protectors.

The loss of honor and self-esteem that comes with this basically leads to an identity crisis of idealizing...

...or perhaps even idolizing the dominant culture.

First, once you voluntarily enter into an organizational hierarchy (in this case, the Anglo-American international order), you are bound to try to climb the ranks of that hierarchy.

I actually spent a couple of years working on developing an alternative to the global financial system.

To summarize the experience, every financing offer I got came with contingencies that would have forced integration with the same system I wanted to get Muslims out of.

Also a number of collaborators were pressured to quit by family due to fears about political consequences of being involved in such a project.

This is why I eventually became convinced that military and legal reform must precede financial reform.

1. US debt is very real, and it manifests in many ways including a persistent trade deficit. The only reason the US can run this trade deficit is the "exorbitant privilege" of the US dollar as world reserve currency and the petrodollar arrangement. Hence why it is so...

A thread on some of the strategic logic behind mass casualty attacks on public place from the viewpoint of Islamic terrorism.

Firstly, the principle is that the best defense is a good offense. Forcing Western countries to take a defensive posture ties up resources... ...that could otherwise be used for offensive operations in Muslim countries. For reference, see Operation Sentinelle in France, which was launched in response to the ISIS attacks in Paris and is ongoing until now.

One of the reasons some people perceive the ummah as being weak or in a state of defeat or humiliation is a lack of patience which manifests as a short-term vision.

If we cultivate a long-term vision and consider those fighting today to be part of a continuous effort... ...we have not lost the war against the West, but merely suffered some setbacks. The only humiliated ones are those who stopped fighting.

With a long enough perspective, we can already see the tide turning back in our favor.

This issue, related to the issue of legalizing heresy, is the cause of the Orwellian dystopia's we live in today.

When a unified (or at least dominant) belief system becomes the basis of social order and harmony, people self-police for the most part.

Europe decided to throw open the door to heresy in attempt to end religious conflicts, but as with many modern European policies, the gains are short term. As the religious fabric of society unraveled, the role of centralized states became bigger and bigger.

I see Israel's invasion of Syria as a great blessing and opportunity.

Gaza is completely cut off, making it impossible for Muslims to travel there to provide support in the form of manpower or materials.

Syria, on the other hand, can now open routes for air travel... ...and possibly import supplies via Turkey. They have also have well developed funding channels independent of the international banking system developed during the years in Idlib, which means that there is real potential for the whole ummah to direct funding there...

What's actually happening is a fall back position by the West.

IS supporters characterize Taliban and HTS as puppets for the West, while their supporters view them as being upon the true Islamic methodology, but the truth lies somewhere in between. The West failed to eliminate al Qaeda and ISIS, and one of the chronic problems they faced is that the secular dictators and dysfunctional republics they prop up to counter global jihad have very little credibility with sincere Muslims.

It was difficult to sleep last night due to events unfoldong in Syria, but when I did I had some wild dreams.

I was driving to a lake, and on the road there were many stunningly beautiful ancient Arabic or Islamic buildings and houses, all abandoned.

Although they were... ...abandoned, they were built on exposed wooden frames, and the wood was shining and new, as if freshly cut and polished.

The buildings were all cleaned and restored despite being ancient and empty.

After arriving, I joined a group of Muslims who were going out for jihad.

Ulema have and have always had great political influence.

The ulema are Islam's equivalent of the "checks and balances" of modern parliamentary systems.

This is also a kind of popular authority. Influential ulema have traditionally gained great respect from the common...

...people by means of their piety and knowledge, and in many cases karamat.

The strong censure in hadith and in narrations from the salaf against scholars who mix with rulers preserves this balance.

It prevents knowledge from being instrumentalized by the state.

"Islamic civilization" is not a failure because there is no singular Islamic civilization.

Aside from the fact that the entire modern concept of "civilization" is a colonial mind game developed by Europeans to instill their enemies with an inferiority complex.... ...Islam exists independently of agriculture and urbanization. Islam is a way of life suitable for all places in our era - the era of Islam.

A semi-nomadic tribe, an agricultural society, a mercantile society, or a complex military empire may all be informed by Islam.

*Relationship between local and global struggle - the case of Pakistan*

It's not only because of nuclear weapons that the West is terrified of Pakistan being controlled by Muslims.

Pakistan's biggest export is human resources, without which the West cannot function. This flow of wealth is not only via "brain drain" but also through outsourcing.

The West is terrified of Pakistan falling under the control of Muslims not only because of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, but also because of disruption of the world market.
