Superb analysis by @rashaaqeedi.bsky.social--an extraordinary window into certain segments of Muslim proselytization (prompted by the "conversion" of AT). Contemporary da'wa is a vast, internally contested world, & popular, "bankrupt" voices are an increasingly hard-to-ignore phenomenon within it.

You see how she placed her hand on heart to greet, smiled, and respected personal boundaries? She's not like some of you girls who turned it into a spectacle. She's very demure, very mindful. She keeps it real. She keeps it respectful. Very cutesy. (Hadja Lahbib, EU commissioner)

Unless you've actually lived through a war and were on the receiving end up rampage, you can't appreciate the words "war is over" enough. Gaza can breathe now.

Those mass graves where literally made by a man who shook hands with women, partied at beaches, and had a pretty blonde wife. But sure, don't let your bias abd Islamophobia stop you from facts.

Stanislav Aseyev, who survived nearly three years in the torture prison Izolatysiia in Donetsk, traveled last week to Sednaya, Asad's torture prison in Syria. It's enormously important that this story be told, and enormously meaningful that it's @stanislavaseyev.bsky.social who is telling it.

I would never show my face in public again if I were THIS wrong, and Ive been wrong plenty. Instead of being a bit humble he continues churning out nonsense.

Syrian interim leader Ahmed Al Sharaa recieves foreign ministers of France and Germany. None of the women were asked to cover their heads. Iran should take notes.

Ahmed Al Sharaa meets with delegation from Syria's Christian community. There is so much emotional investment and expectations at this point. This guy better be for real or else it's bound to be the worst heartbreak in my life.
