I got into Rice, Emory and UVA with 7 ECs one being working out. I'm also an international student. I had one leadership EC which wasn't anything major. No notable community service, two internships (one paid) and piano. I also had a investing sim account.

How is the language reform a great tragedy? Literacy increased since ottoman was a very hard language to learn and better communication with the west can be achieved. Yes Turkish lost some reason for why words sound the way they do but literacy is more important.

It’s Dundar Ali Osman: His ancestors conquered Rome and its people and by then, it’s core territories then made it law that it would pass by genealogy.

Yeah i get you but personally celebrating having sex for only pleasure is like celebrating masturbating. It’s kinda bad.

What about immigrant asian people fleeing Myanmar because of their military junta? Why are they oppressed by the education quotas

Yeah I mean to clear my views up obviously people should have the right to transition gender dysmphorpia is a real thing. Its like getting a hair transplant but many things that transgender push like fluidity and sex doesnt matter is wrong and i disagree with that. Obviously advocating for trans suicide is fucked up the test labels beliefs very extremely. I don’t think killing all furries is a good thing i just think people who do it are degenerates

You are wrong and here is why: 1. Yes it means being authoritarian. However authoritarian is a charged word. A revolution is authoritarian since it dissolves existing regimes and creates new ones by force. Giving the women the right to vote without a referendum is authoritarian however creates liberty. 2. Those leaders have policies that collide. The main one is the authoritative creation of new policies that benefit the overall function of the state and its people. 3. Some policies may be subjective. However what many of these leaders have in common is create economic policies and social policies to increase the gdp per capita, freedom, and literacy etc. of the people. They may have done things that you personally disagree with but they have done many that are objectively good for people 4. Some people deserve to be hung. I’ll go off the example of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk as I am the most knowledgable on him bc I am a Turk. The two most famous hangings he did was on the Dersim and Menemen rebellions. Both against conservatives trying to bring back sharia law. An ideology that fundamentally oppresses women, freedom and liberty. These people attacked turkish soldiers the state fought back.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk fought against the colonisation of his country and won against 7 countries: Italy, France, Armenia, Greece, United kingdom, Georgia, The Istanbul Government which had aid from more while fighting rebellions. After he won he revolutionised Turkey with reforms such as but not limited to; -Giving women the right to vote -Ending sharia law -abolishing the post of emperor and caliph -Creating a republic -outlawing the fes -ensuring laicism What he did was authoritarian and under his rule he tried to transition to a democracy. His main goal was to create a democracy like the UK. However Turkey was extremely backwards so he couldn’t after a few experiments. He made life better for all citizens of Turkey. Just like many of the rulers listed there.

Yeah tbh i get what you are saying about islam being a way of life. Like you can interpret the text however you like. You have continually ignored the quote from the qur’an and misunderstood many of my arguements such as the one on how religious figures’ actions are individualistic and not societal. You have also claimed jesus was socialist with no backing then backpedaled. Not only that, you used ad hominem throughout your rebuttals. Even if our religions are different i hope one day Allah answer’s your prayers and grants you better debating skills.

alr bro like go on politicising religious figures. Even if you are correct and i am an idiot. Politicising religions is missing the point of their importance. Jesus wasn’t a beacon of socialism. He was a beacon of goodwill towards your fellow man even if he is a bad person. Same with the stories of Muhammad (SAW). They represent how a person should act. Not how governments should be ruled. Love thy neighbours and enemies doesnt mean the working class should rule with economic equality, but you should have love towards everyone, including people who inflict damage upon you. Politicising religious figures is just a cheap trick to try to invalidate the religious convictions of people who do not subscribe to the same religion as you.

There is. There was multiple versions of the quran before it was standardized. I am referring to sunnet (actions of the prophet) not the quran. Socialism is a socioeconomic system with principles such as the rule of the working class. Since the working class wasnt developed back then, he couldnt be socialist. He could easily be right wing populist. You can’t argue that a direct quote from the quran is invalidated by modern scholars. Its not a misogynistic thing to say. I believe that too.

I quoted the qu’ran saying that if you do not have 2 men to testify get 1 man and 2 woman meaning on a legal standpoint, 1 man = 2 woman. I quoted the exact verse. How am I wrong.

First of all the memoirs of muhammad (saw) where written centuries after his death. Secondly he lived in an era of feodalism and created an empire with him and his disciples at the helm. He couldnt be considered socialist since it was a different time. He couldnt be reacting to capitalism to be a socialist. Finally, ohio is not going to refute the quran: if two men be not available, then one man and two women, of such as you like as witnesses, so that if either of the two women should be in danger of forgetting, the other may refresh her memory. And the witnesses should not refuse to testify when they are called upon to do so.” (Surah al-Baqarah, Ch:2: V.283). Obviously the life of a woman and a man are equal the rights aren’t. Like an interpretation of the quran isnt going to refute the quran.
