Look at how extraordinarily Allah warns of fundamental societal fault lines in just 2 short verses that we so often gloss over in our readings.

Carl trueman, an author and theologian, picks up on the concept through the analysis of types of cultures
[🧵]

In the second chapter of the book, trueman introduces the concepts of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world cultures

This is not to be confused with the 1st and 3rd world reference that denotes a geographical-political status commonly used in political discussions. This is purely a marker.

The words “colonialism, settler state” etc. have been going around for the past 2 months.

Let’s analyze the roots/historical legacy of these realities outlined by professor Aria Nakissa

Here are the 3 steps by which Muslim communities were colonized and neutralized [THREAD🧵]

1.
"imperial officials tacitly divided the Muslim population of any country into two broad categories:

(1) “good” Muslims favorable to progress and European rule

(2) “bad” Muslims inclined towards fanaticism and revolt. Officials sought to build cooperative relations with good Muslims, and steadily increase their social and political influence.

Meanwhile, officials sought to repress bad “fanatical” Muslims, and steadily decrease their social and political influence. Officials ensured that good Muslim religious authorities were accorded management and leadership positions within the religious infrastructure."

This is so academically flawed I understand now why stupid people shouldn’t be underestimated

Let’s analyze below through a few different sources how Islam’s conquests were particularly peaceful and welcomed by the conquered societies [THREAD🧵]

When entering Persia, Muslims:
- Didn't massacre people
- Didn't seize their lands or live among them
- Didn't disturb their religious costumes
- Were less than 10% of the population
- Couldn't have controlled all these lands if they had been met with resistance from people

How veiled women proved to be too powerful and a constant anxiety for modern western thought leading to their dehumanization [THREAD🧵]

“..it is the nature of the veil as a gaze inhibitor that most contributes to it coming under attack. Though the dynamics at play started…+

…during modern colonialism, they continue to the present day.”

Bullock highlights two key points to note: 1 - The veil completely blocks the gaze and therefore limits access to the woman. 2 - under modernity the material world is open access; any obstacles are a clear challenge

🧵 5 most often repeated myths about the “medieval” past that help downplay failures of the modern world

1. In medieval times people didn’t live past the age of 35.

- Upon closer examination it’s revealed that the average person lived till the age of 70 just like today, and the high rates of infant mortality is a hallmark of all of human history until the 20th century

“That teachers in Muslim universities do not possess the vision of Islam and, therefore, are not driven by its cause is certainly the greatest calamity of Muslim education. Throughout the Muslim world, students enter the university equipped, as far as the Islamic vision is…+

The inspiring story of Hala & her hijab, told by her niece:

Most western values that are prevalent today weren’t born in a vacuum. Instead, they are a result of carefully crafted philosophical ideas that built upon each other, enabling the rise of morally/spiritually degraded societies

Here’s a look at the big players of this process:

(Recommended read through the pages)

It starts with Descartes with his radical skepticism, denying all knowledge previously accepted.

Rousseau enters the scene (famous for giving up all 5 of his children for adoption), and posits that only our inner feelings define us

It’s hilarious this is what the common western criticism has become:

“Look how happy we are as a handful of corporations run their full will on us and horde capital while the common man is wholly neglected”

Why studying the mechanics of worldviews is important.

Many of you might’ve seen my bio “restructuring worldviews”. What exactly does this mean? Let me explain a little.

A person’s worldview is the very way they (as the term suggests) view the world. Things become…+ …interesting when you delve into the topic and realize that a person’s worldview can be influenced and manipulated without them every noticing. Dr. Carl Sharif refers to this as the glasses one sees the world through yet doesn’t notice the type of glasses he’s wearing…

When the West talks about Liberating Muslim women, it has never been about a sincere concern for Muslim women, but rather just using another angle to breakdown obstacles against the Muslim resistance to Secular and Liberal values and morality.
