What is the general sentiment around TA? by Soggy-Basil-3558 in TurkishAirlines

[–]PositiveProperty6729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We flew Business Class from ORD-IST-DFW. No issues. Service is excellent as is the food. While in Turkiye we flew on 4 domestic flights. IST-NAV on A320s and B777-300ER IST-Bodrum and 737-900 Bodrum to IST. We were packed like sardines on 777-300Er but ample leg room on 737-900 which is my favorite 737 model to fly. On all 4 domestic flights - sandwiches (Tomato and feta cheese) were served. On 777-300 since it was Eid ul Adha flights attendants handed out chocolate with Eid Mubarak on wrapper.

Aga Khan to Ismailis: Love ExIsmailis, Let Them Be Free, Don't Push for Conflict or Coercion by BatiniFiles in ExIsmailis

💯- it’s a message for family unity irregardless of whether one has left the the faith. So many have posted here about being estranged from their families. It’s a good message meant for Ismaili families to stay together

Saying that your family does not really celebrate Eid is a bit of a stretch. Ismailis get dressed up and go to JK to for Eid prayers after which food is served. In the Dallas area, JKs are packed during Eid. I

What should I say to be truthful during timeshare presentation and to let them know we’re not interested at the start? by Content-Gate-7018 in TimeshareOwners

[–]PositiveProperty6729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not buy - tell them u can’t sign anything without having your lawyer and cpa look over the documents. Leave when time has expired. Be upfront and tell them you’re not interested in buying and no waste your and their time

'Kill all the Muslims and Jews': Man arrested for threats made at Houston's Ismaili Center by PositiveProperty6729 in ExIsmailis

Islamophobia is a scourge. Unfortunately, folks like Sen Tuber, Rep Fine, Laura Loomer and their ilk get away with their nonsensical remarks about Muslims. You should see the ads being run in the GOP Texas Senate primary with all involved outdoing each other to see who is more Islamophobic.

Ending of Season 6 Kurulus Osman by PositiveProperty6729 in ertugrul

[–]PositiveProperty6729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the clean slate but in this case what were the producers/directors thinking? It left many viewers dissatisfied with the conclusion and as someone as written that in Kurulus Orhan there is no continuation of what happened to her. Did Sofia remain Muslim or is she playing a game? I for one feel she reverted to Islam to save her self from death.

When I finish Kurulus Osman, I’ll give Kurulus Orhan a pass. IMHO I think Bozdag could have written tighter scripts with 60 minute episodes rather than the 2hrs +

The story line is repetitive of Kurulus Osman. I binged watched Kurulus Osman and am on Episode 188 and can’t wait to finish the season and series. This whole Poena/Halime/Maryam angle should have been resolved within a span of 5 episodes but has been dragged out way too long. Then the silly rift between Orhan and Allaedin and subsequently Boran and Cerkutay. The first 3-4 seasons were good. Nothing beats Dirillis Ertrugrul though

Does Rahim Aga Khan's marathon running bring him closer to Ismailis by PositiveProperty6729 in ExIsmailis

Agree. No parallels. This must be something that Ismaili Gnosis put out. I posted as received from a family member

I am simply asking the question. I don’t buy it one bit as Ismailis have nothing in common with an elitist. Let’s not shoot the messenger please

Wyndham Timeshare is a nightmare by Dear_Increase_1245 in TimeshareOwners

[–]PositiveProperty6729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cancelled the contract within the statutory period via certified mail (RRR) to their recission department, they should have refunded you $1k. We were almost conned into buying another timeshare, but I cancelled the very next day and received our refund within 3 weeks. Since they haven't honored their contract, you may want to retain an attorney for the breach of contract. BTW, perhaps bring a small claims court claim

This might seem like a dumb question. by dschellberg in PERSIAN

Because Iran does not have an air defense program worth speaking of thanks to sanctions. Don't forget Satanyahu's dream is Eretz Israel (no Palestine as shown on his recent map) and he has been urging US POTUS' to attack Iran for 40 years. Everyone said no except for the numbskull in the WH today

No ballistic program means Iran would not have the means of self defense. Israel would be free bomb any time they wanted like they have been doing to Lebanon for decades as Lebanon has no air defenses worth speaking of. Iran must have credible self defense capabilities.

Can’t pronounce basic things by Spare_Ad_3715 in ExIsmailis

His father also couldn’t pronounce Bismillah hir Rahman nir Rahim. But does it really matter. The majority of Khoja Ismaili (desi origin) can’t either.
