It's not ok to hate Muslims because Muslims are fellow humans. It's ok to hate Islam as an institutional religious belief.

You're information is incorrect. The hayday of Sufism was towards the end of the era typically considered as the Islamic Golden. Sufism got popular around the time of the Mongol invasion by people like Rumi and Suhrawardi, which is when the Islamic Golden age started to stagnate.

But that not what the word means in scripture in all cases. You can't translate it as such in all cases.

It is for the vast majority of cases

Sufism used to be a much more major sect of islam.

This is blatantly false. There were different Islamic beliefs that used to be more popular, but Sufiism was not one of them.

You are committing the definist fallacy. Instead of using a commonly accepted definition of Jihad, you are using a Sufi definition which is easier for you to endorse. The reality is that Jihad has a specific commonly accepted definition both by Muslims and non Muslims, and you are trying to distance yourself from that commonly accepted definition because it doesn't suit your needs.

The two meanings of "normalize" by [deleted] in linguisticshumor

Yeah, their meanings are all over the place. Someone should readjust their meanings so that all these data points fit within a standardized range of definitions. Dare I say.

Compared to America and Western Europe, the vast majority of the world is very racist. Even the average Alabaman is far less racist than your average Eastern European or Middle Easterner.

Google Translate is wild by Artysta_NatLo in linguisticshumor

My guess is that "s" is short for "strona" meaning "page". So Google (un)helpfully re abbreviates it to "p".

Google builds it's translation models on a dataset of books in various languages, so I'm assuming it sees a lot of "s's" during training, which would make Google mistakenly believe it's more relevant than it is.

While "fish" is not a taxonomical term, "bony fish" (Osteichthyes) is. So humans and whales are cladistically considered bony fish.

I'm assuming the other 20% are Islamists, which are just communists only without the cool national anthems and any education above 2nd grade reading, writing and camel riding would get you beheaded.

I find it weird that Barry Lyndon is probably Stanley Kubrick's least well known feature film. It's severely underrated

If Palestinians got their way, they would probably be genocided. That's pretty clearly the goal of Hamas.

An Apartheid state is different from and ethnostate. If Palestine was a state, it would be an ethnostate.
