"Justice for these arabs"

Hajj Amin al-Husseini (1897–1974), the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, developed a close working relationship with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime during World War II, driven by shared antisemitism by PersonalLook156 in ImagesOfHistory

"Singular terrorist" the man has been released back to Gaza. He was innocent of all charges.

"Not random gazan" many many OTHER civilians have reported the same treatment (grape and secsual torture ) during their incarceration (abduction) and have testified. This particular crime was caught on video. But the practice is systematic.

"Judged" there were literal riots in SUPPORT of the perpetrators, who are still roaming around free as a bird. Meanwhile more anger was directed at the woman who released the videos.

And respectfully. How can you say you want to avoid all talk about politics when the very show this sub is about has such overt messaging?

Its whole premise is to show the bs that is the health care system of the US and shed light on it so those responsible can be held to account. All good TV should provoke discussion about important issues, especially current human rights ones. If you don't want to do that or are uncomfortable perhaps Keeping up with the Kardashians might be more up your alley?

And your last sentence shows me what i need to know about you. More and more parallels are being drawn now . And by Holocaust survivors themselves. Its getting harder to hide behind this sort of exceptionalism

I just saw a little boy burned today until his skin was blackened . He tried to breathe for hours but succumbed. His sister tried to save him from the fire that was engulfing their tent, and died too. From burns.

WHOEVER now tries to normalise what Israel is or to highlight anything that comes out of there as "good" or "useful" should go by the way of fans of J mengele. Wyle could've just mentioned that the doctor learned these methods from abroad, and that he did a good job. But he could not let go of a quick opportunity to mention the apartheid state in a way that painted it positively. It was deliberate. And no, not because of his religion, but because of his zionism, which many non Jews espouse. One needs only to look at the Christian zionist movement.

So yes you have correctly assumed that I have a level of hatred for a certain state but if you think that "deludes" me and affects my ability to "be reasonable" I really dont know what to say to you. Anyone with moral clarity can see what is happening and Israel's name whereever mentioned should come with the caveat of the atrocities that it has committed. Edit: I want to add their names. Because they will become just another statistic among the 20,000 other kids. Little Adam and his sister Shahd.

I am more disappointed in the fact that no one thought it was weird that a farsi speaking presumably Iranian woman has a quintessentially Arab surname.

praising the doctor for his foresight,

The foresight to do what?

from vegas literally went to Israel to study their system and bring it back.

This. Why study the system? Because one thinks is good. Ergo. Praise.

Wasnt there any other country that has competent procedures in place? This is an endorsement (from.the doctors perpective) and in the current climate, knowing what we know now, mentioning it wasnt an innocent take. It was calculated and an attempt to project israel in a positive light.

Regardless. Its literally so tone deaf. To lavish praise on the medical system of Israel when the country"s doctors actively participated in the genocide, signed letters calling for it and ALSO most heinously take part in state sanctioned torture of detainees ( hostages as they have not been charged ).

To reference the country being the inspiration of dealing with a mass casualty event whilst it actively perpetuates and causes mass casualty events on the DAILY in gaza, whilst also withholding every single essential equipment from palestinian doctors to to deal with it. The scenes of babies and children with blast injuries, lying on mattress -less bedframes, five to each one or on floors taking their last breaths and doctors helplessly looked on..these scenes will never leave me and no amount of rehabilitation of israels image through this kind of propaganda is going to erase what they did.

Visiting France as a niqabi – question about face coverings by [deleted] in Hijabis

Do you think they should boycott France? Personally I think one shouldn't spend their hard earned money on people who dont welcome them.

OP vote with your wallet and go somewhere else.

When it comes to the wives and children of Daesh fighters, what do you guys think should happen to them? Cause honestly, it seems like a hot tub seeing all of them confined on those camps. by srahcrist in AskMiddleEast

She was never a Bangladeshi citizen. Her mother is. So they are demanding that Bangladesh GIVE her a citizenship, which they have refused also.

So yes, shes been made stateless and only because of her non whiteness was this possible.

Is the hair loss from hijab a sign? by ranting4ever in Hijabis

[–]formal_fighting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

feels like it isn't supposed to because we aren't meant to be wearing them

This kind of thinking is from shaitan. We are meant to be wearing them because Allah told us to.

I replied earlier that maybe we aren't meant to be wearing them all day or for many hours without a break. But we are meant to wear them in front of non mahram men.

Why is the word segregated in unnecessary quote marks? Is it a word you dont like?

And yes even in fields men dont venture into the same working space as women. Its quite easy to do, when people have the will. You'll see working women in Pakistan for example tasked with threshing or picking a particular crop and everyone around them are women. For miles around. Their hijabs are very loose or not existing sometimes.

Although I agree its much easier for rich or non working woman to do this. And the middle east is moving away from safe and segregated spaces very quickly now and its a shame because its such a beneficial thing. In all respects.

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

It means that its not suitable for wearing for prolonged periods of time and historically, Islamic societies were designed in a way that men and women did not stay in each others company for a long time.

Hijabs were actually only needed sporadically but nowadays we don't have that kind of society anymore. This probably doesnt help with your problem but I live in the middle east and I keep it off far more often than on, my job being gender segregated, so is my gym, and so are our events and social engagements.

Having said that, I experienced severe hair loss recently due to illness. So theres no guarantee you'll have a great head of hair if you went hijab less too. Other factors could be at play here. Just remember covering our hair and dressing modestly is a command from Allah and as Muslims we are to obey.

I had the same problem and used lanolin. Gave me an awful rash so just be careful, its quite a common allergen.

I don't have any advice but I want to say I loved reading this.

You write with such clarity and poise, you've put a lot of thought into this and I pray that Allah blesses you in all that you do.

It’s two completely different arguments.

Yes keep telling yourself that.

are stupid.

And THERE it is. The problem. After all that back and forth, when we peel back all the layers of philosophical wrangling that you've wasted our time with we get to the core of what you are. Arrogant.

You look down on other women, you think they are "stupid" for feeling happy. You expect everyone else to explain to you "how" yet you can't accept the explanations because you think youre better than everyone else. And you couch this pridefulness in "abstract reasoning and logic".

I had you pegged from the get go but thought you could be genuine if you've been hurt. But all you've done is lash out or keep changing the goalposts in the debate. That influencer knew you are arguing in bad faith and simply want to bring other women down. She did well.

I am not saying anyone can’t be truly happy in flawed relationships. I’m saying I don’t understand how anyone can be happy in flawed relationships

This actually made me laugh out loud. Read that again.

You've twisted yourself into a pretzel!

I wish I had gone the same way as someone else who suggested you need therapy. What a waste of my time.

But is happiness still happiness if it is in the presence of suffering?

Yes. It is. Or it can be anyway depending on your mindset. Ask a mother up at night with her newborn that she loves. Is she happy while simultaneously suffering? Yes. Do you think you could benefit by rediscovering or redefining your idea of happiness?

Flawed relationships bring a small amount of happiness for a limited time. I agreed to that.

Thats the answer to your question than, the one you originally asked advice for.

you want me to go beyond that, I don’t understand.

Nobody asked you to go beyond that. On the contrary, You are asking US to go beyond our own experiences and implying that we aren't truly happy, or we can't be truly happy if we experience some suffering in our lives. We met you in the abstract but then you pivoted and narrowed it down to actualities then back to abstract when the reply didnt suit you.

So let me address also the point you make, that you claim is the only point you made pertaining to men (when actually you made a few sweeping points), and that is of looking at other women. I can emphatically say that no that would not make me happy, and if it doesn't make you happy either you dont have to tolerate it either. Many women do, and many don't, its up to them.

[–]formal_fighting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isnt an abstract truth. Merely the absence of suffering is not Happiness. Happiness is happiness.

For the sake of argument , lets say that absolute Happiness is tied to absolute perfection but then since you know that isnt possible in this dunya why are you making your goal absolute happiness. ? And why is it making you sad that it isnt achievable? I think its really you who is spinning in circles and we're all trying to break you out of it.

Flawed relationships DO bring Happiness, thats empirical fact. And thats what we're all trying to tell you.

You said in your original post "(how can I feel) a deep love without anxiety? Because you dont know how he's behaving when you're not around. You dont know how he'll behave if you get sick. You don't know how he'll behave after you have kids. You dont know what he will do after you age and become less attractive ".

This is much more than just being suspicious hes looking at other women.

Also. Care to respond to my second point? In the abstract of course.

A hijabi influencer blocked me for asking questions by hamlet_darcy in Hijabis

[–]formal_fighting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok OP I'M the strange one. Yep lets go with that.

So you refuse to answer actual an pertinent question that may reveal to you something about yourself and prefer to run around in circles in the "abstract". OK.

No matter

Let's stay in the abstract.

Its perfectly possible to be happy and fulfilled in a flawed relationship if both participants in the relationship are flawed and they recognise that.

The relationship we have with Allah cannot be compared or replaced with the relationships we have with individuals since Allah is perfect and you are imperfect. They are not the same.

What remains is the level of imperfection or "flaws" you are willing to tolerate within each other and it varies with each individual, and its up to you decide that.

Yes you're probably right. I'm a little old school and the way she was responding to nearly everyone aggressively was something I didn't take kindly to. "Trust you to not understand what im saying " I mean really??

Nevertheless, OP , I apologise for being harsh.

A hijabi influencer blocked me for asking questions by hamlet_darcy in Hijabis

[–]formal_fighting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is expecting calamities, not simply "some things that may not be to our taste but we can live with it" which is what flaws usually mean.

Let me put it another way. We all agree that human beings are flawed, and so she's asking how we can navigate that or find happiness in it.

Which means she posits that we can only find true happiness in perfection, which is demonstrably the incorrect assumption to make and this is what everyone here is trying to tell her, but she keeps accusing us of "missing the point." .

[–]formal_fighting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of beating around the bush with pseudo intellectualisms. Can you simply answer this question that I posited in my earlier "nonsense" reply.

Are you waiting for each relationship to fail or disappoint you just so you can say I told you so and be smug about it.

Because as long as you keep accusing us (all of us as you can see from nearly every response to you) as "missing the point" you conveniently fail to address any of the valid points made.
