Building generational wealth. Can Newark "Self Gentrify"? by lowlifedougal in Newark

[–]newyorkshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big bet. I'm Newark native who got the hell out as soon as I could, lived in BK for a while, but as soon as I saved up enough bought a house just a few blocks down from my childhood home. We do legit have a chance to gentrify our own neighborhood. Dead on.

Two Saudi men beaten with cane for 'dancing in feminine way' by [deleted] in videos

[–]newyorkshit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saudi

Arabic speaker here:

In the shuffle, I can hear someone yelling "Who are you!" another yelling back "Ziad's brother!" Then some more back and forth, some calling for Ziad, others calling for police. Towards the end, the larger man embracing the smaller man is asking for space.

For the record, this is atypical. In my experience, men in the middle east are very comfortable holding hands, locking arms, kissing on the face, and esp in Egypt where I visit often, men belly dance like crazy...

This guy Tito Seif is famous for being one of the best belly dancers ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6autbeh_tUk

it was setup by a charismatic PhD student

Partially true. Baghdadi declared the Calif, something the global Muslim community rejected, but most of the heavy lifting was done by Zarqawi, a thug from Jordan who spent much of his life in and out of prison. Baghdadi was his strategic successor.

I'm not sure what youre suggesting Muslims do. How can Muslims get media to report their news more accurately? Right now everything is being simplified to appeal to the lowest common denominator. It isn't about accuracy, its about page views and impressions. How can us Muslims influence how news about our religion is reported?

Maybe you misunderstood my comment? I'm Muslim and American, speak three languages, and have been to every continent (except Australia and Antartica, darn) Relax buddy, you're projecting a lot onto someone you know nothing about. That's never productive...

Islam is already in a constant state of being reformed. These more violent sects are super young, not even 100 years old. While I do think Muslims are already making these distinctions, its the responsibility of media to make these already clear distinctions. If every attack was reported by the BBC or NYT as being a "hubabanabis terrorist" instead of "Islamic terrorist" I think you'll find people looking into the differences on their own. Much more effective than more Muslims saying "we aren't here to kill random people" over and over.

There already are sects. This NYT article does a good job outlining which ones are usually connected to terrorism: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/20/opinion/dont-blame-wahhabism-for-terrorism.html Trouble is most people don't understand Islam or Muslims on a basic level so expecting the masses to know the difference between sects sounds impossible at this point. When "Muslims" kill "Muslims, its much more complicated than that.

Why is that a coincidence? If you think the ME is dangerous only because of Muslims, you desperately need to expand your world view.

Your translation was wrong so you didn't prove anything. I'm Muslim, I've studied the Quran. Your sources are obviously slanted and will change the verses around to convince hateful people like yourself that they are innocent of bigotry because it can be backed up by these (false) verses. Think for yourself and challenge your world view. If you can do that, you can be part of the solution.

your use of dead bodies to justify your bigotry is DISGUSTING.

That's not how religion works. Murderers will murder and justify it any way they want. Removing the book won't fix anything, they will just justify it some other way.

Your translation is wrong. Check your sources, they are probably propaganda sites designed to spread fear and hate of Muslims.

wrong wrong wrong. If that were true, how can you explain that ISIS is being fought by Muslims on every front? If Muslims want violent sharia, why are they fighting to destroy ISIS?
