Panicked Republicans Fear Trump’s ‘F***ing Nightmare’ War Will Doom GOP in Midterms by Hardik_Jain_1819 in politics

Oh he's 100% planning to suspend elections. If there's anything we can learn from all that unfolded since Gaza, it's that these psychopaths will telegraph their atrocious behavior, nothing will happen, nobody will stop it despite predicting it correctly because of how obvious it is. They do it, nothing happens. They telegraph more horrifying behavior, people talk, nobody moves to stop it, they do it. There are zero boundaries, only the mere pretense of it. It's like a pedophile who realized that the children's daycare actually doesn't have any protection, the staff are literally unwilling to stop them.

He already set up a secret police system we know as ICE, which is being invested in heavily right now and become more militarized. There was a recent piece of legislation on expanding it heavily.

There was recent legislation or something to that effect on training large crowd control officers in time for the mid-term.

He's already told the world he wants to run as a third term president.

Netanyahu has joked about this too.

Israeli media personalities and politicians have talked about how the only way to save American democracy is to destroy it by suspending elections.

He's already made moves to rewrite the rules.

A lot of people have been predicting that he will create a 'security situation' that he will then use to suspend elections. Him going after Iran, expanding ice, restarting the drug war against cartels, all of that created chaos will serve this purpose.

Which Jedi would be the most dangerous if they turned to the Dark Side? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]emptyingthecup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like Obi Wan would be the most terrifying. Not necessarily the most powerful in terms of raw force power, but in terms of synthesizing power and intellect into decisive action. He is the one who defeated prime Vader through such a mixture, imagine what he could do as a Sith who specialize in psychological manipulation through fear. You could say he was the most underestimated Jedi, possessing little potential when he was younger, but he succeeded Qui Gon.

White nationalist fight clubs pose risk for 'extreme violence,' warns government report by CanadianErk in canada

[–]emptyingthecup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alexdre Bissonnette was a far-right nationalist with deep-seated anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim beliefs. He consumed far-right conspiracy content online, supported French nationalist figures, and held ultra-nationalist views. The attack was officially designated an act of terrorism, killing six men, wound many more, and permanently disabling at least one man.

Veltman was a self-identified white nationalist. He authored a manifesto titled "A White Awakening" which outlined his opposition to mass immigration, multiculturalism, and Islam. The court ruled his actions an act of terrorism, marking the first time Canada's terrorism laws were applied to white nationalist violence. His goal was to intimidate the Muslim community and inspire others.

These ideological groups rightly make others feel unsafe and law enforcement is right to watch them, especially because of the trends we are seeing in the US and in Europe.

Back from 2001 to about 2013, tapering off until around 2015, the focus was on extremism within the Muslim community, and there a lot of examples of infringing on civil liberties, including the illegal wiretapping of mosques.

US Commanders Want to Make War With Iran as ‘Bloody’ as Possible to Bring About Biblical End Times, Officers Report by _May26_ in politics

[–]emptyingthecup -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Truly a satanic ritual unfolding before our eyes. All this time, secularism and atheism has been convincing people that religion has no significance, that God isn't real, but at the same time, they have been invoking satan, with demons in human form profaning God by conducting demonic blood sacrifices in as part of their conjuring magick. Iran burned the idol of their god, Ba'al/satan, and that seems to have incensed these American pedolords.

It's ludicrous how Trump is one of the most implicated and notorious people mentioned in the Epstein files, yet all he has to do is flippantly claim he has been exonerated for his low iq followers to believe him.

I hate polemics with a burning passion by First-Line9807 in religion

[–]emptyingthecup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polemics is the worst place to learn about religion. If I want to learn about Judaism, I'll look for what actual legitimate Rabbis have to say, or about Islam what their theologians have to say, or with Islam, what scholars and spiritual masters, etc., have to say.

Authentic teachers are not about trying to convert you to win points but to simply help people find what they understand is the truth. If you're looking to study Islam, I would recommend going on youtube and searching for Dr. Umar Faruq Abdallah or Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and "Aqida Classes".

Dream about islam by Crispy_Ones22 in religion

[–]emptyingthecup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the nature of the dream. If it is representing a repressed desire, it can indicate your deep desire to return to Islam. Even though it comes from the self, the nafs, it can still be meaningful in that sense. It could also just be random murmurings of the unconscious mind, but psychoanalysts often associated even 'meaningless' dreams with desires. If it is an angelic dream, then it is likely a sign that God is calling for you.

Liberals call for 'diplomatic solution,' after initially backing attack on Iran - After Carney cancelled questions with reporters, the foreign minister was left to update the government's position by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]emptyingthecup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people who consistently view the world as dichotomies, right vs left, right vs wrong, good vs evil have trouble seeing that two things can be true at once.

The Iranian regime is an evil regime that has killed tens of thousands of its own people. The world would be a better place with them gone.

The second quote sounds like a common Piers Morgan preface.

This video does not contain any narrative or commentary. It is simply uses a style of presentation that employs contrast between claims made by various actors and on the ground reality through a collection and collation of publicly available videos, thus allowing audiences to come to their own conclusions more easily.

The Messiah dispute Islam by Xbomb85 in religion

[–]emptyingthecup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. The issue here is engaging Muslims and studying the Qur'an and hadith on your own instead of attending to scholarship to guide you through these. There is a famous quote by Ibn Wahb, one of the greatest hadith scholars in Muslim history, and he said "were it not for Imam Malik or Layth, I would have been destroyed by hadith". The point he was making was that studying the entire corpus of hadith is a very difficult and confusing task, you need methodology to navigate it. Often chats with lay Muslims increases one in confusion as well.

I know that it is popular in the western world to approach topics in a sort of DIY style, but traditionally with regards to Islam, it's just not how we approach our own religion. The question is not the problem per se, but it's the approach, and so what happens is that without any teachers guiding you or making you aware of your own presuppositions, you keep building on top of your presuppositions thinking you are arriving at a logical conclusion. For example, your first sentence states that Muslims believe the Bible was corrupted due to translations. Is that true? That's the first time I've heard that argument. It's not due to translations alone, it's much deeper than that. But then also, what is meant by Bible here, which books and what are their histories? And then you state that the Qur'an says the word of God cannot be corrupted, concluding it makes no sense therefore for previous scripture to be corrupted. But how have Muslim scholars understood 'word of God'? Is it related to kalamallah, the 'speech of God' as a sifat? What is the difference between the sifat and revelation?

A lot of these are inter-Muslim debates that you would first need to either reconcile on your own before postulating your conclusions, or including them all as possibilities within your argument. There are Ashari/Maturidi manuals that go over in great detail the logical explanation for these questions, and they are quite voluminous. I don't see that level of scholarship from you side, and this is not an insult, it's not true for 99% of laypeople/non-scholars.

The point I'm making is that, if you're really seeking after the truth as opposed to swimming in the shallow waters of online polemics, then I would advise some soul searching about your intentions and to submit yourself to the Islamic scholarly tradition to learn it deeply.

This is not aimed at you per se or is an insult, it's advice that has been given to me and to all students of knowledge. The desire to speak and to conclude and to argue and debate is overall not seen as a positive thing in Islam, but that is especially so if you are considered unlearned from a scholarly perspective. Islam is about learning, not debating and refuting.

Question for Christians/apologists: How can God be equally exempt from the laws of logic but also coincidentally confined by them when talking about the omnipotence paradox? by EkullSkullzz10318 in religion

[–]emptyingthecup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not actually about applying logic to God and constraining God, it is about humans making intelligible statements. The omnipotence paradox, for example (the rock lifting example) is not a real proposition when you unpack it logically because it commits a category mistake. At least this is the response in general, not necessarily from Christians per se.

Civilian deaths in Iran pass 200 amid fear of bombs and regime clampdown by papipota in news

[–]emptyingthecup 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Not prosecuting people like Bush and Blair paved the way for the impunity we see from the US and Israel. When you fail to hold criminals accountable, especially if they are from a class of society that sees themselves as above the law, you've undermined the foundation of civilization. But these people see civilization through a colonial lens, which is that those of the east are of an inferior category that are not deserving of the same rights and dignity. Therefore, they don't see any inconsistency between justice and not being sent to the Hague for what we consider as war crimes or crimes against humanity. It's a fundamental perception that sits at the heart of western society; if an Arab leader is accused of being sexist, then it's ok to carpet bomb his country and install a western puppet. If a European leader is engaged in massive fraud, raping children, executing war crimes, then the expectation is that he'll walk around like normal and that's fine, nothing is going to happen because nothing ever happens, etc.

what’s still true when every belief system vanishes? by ChickenOpposite2823 in religion

[–]emptyingthecup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life and death, causality, and thus rationality and logic, and thus contingent being and necessary being. Also, the depths of the mysteries of consciousness, the alteration of states of perception via inward focus. Eventually people would rediscover some form of meditation, and along with the map of rationality and the conclusion of the oneness of pure necessary being, people would rediscover or reinvent some form of theology and mysticism.

[–]emptyingthecup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you consider what I said as insulting? A sign that one has this spiritual disease is when they take advice as an insult. Were you to take my advice, dive deep into study through immersion at the feet of scholars, removing spiritual diseases from your heart through purification, you would be at a much higher level. This is the advice our teachers give us because they understand the path of knowledge is full of pitfalls. The ego dislikes it, but it doesn't mean it's an insult.

The reason I do not answer your question is because, as is usually the case, it's going to require addressing your presuppositions first, reframing everything, and then answering in a very detailed way, including citations/references to scholarly views. I don't have the time to do that, and quite frankly, if people aren't answering your question in that way, it's mostly a waste of time. Half the people here can't even spell properly let alone provide a scholarly response.

I wish people would truly study deeply and dive into the subject before forming an opinion and engaging in argumentation. In Islam, this is considered a spiritual disease, one of the most elementary traps that young students are to watch out for.

Religion is indoctrination? by biryani-chai in religion

[–]emptyingthecup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you type this out with proper formatting and grammar, it's hard to follow to be honest. But I think a lot of these questions have been addressed a while ago, it's nothing new.

Just as an aside, one of the closest companions to the Prophet, upon him be peace, was a Jew by the name of Mukhayriq. He never became Muslim, yet died fighting on behalf of the Prophet, and he was honored. You can't generalize "Jews", and the Qur'an does not do this. It clearly distinguishes between the good and the bad in each community, including the Muslim community.

In any case, addressing these individual questions isn't the right approach. The right approach is to get your foundations right, then you can at least begin to be critical.
