    I need to explain this aspect of sharia law cuz they use it againt us for zionism and invding iran
    First, there is a concept in islam called takwa /piety/تقوي
    It means doing good work and fearing god
    But its not only about avoiding sin and performing acts of worship
    It also includes how u treat one self and others
    Being mohsen /محسن (kind) to others is a form of takwa/piety

    Surat al baqarah verse 197
    Surat al baqarh verse 195

    So yeah avoiding sin in islam is deeper than what is1am0ph0bes make it to be
    They r just unmenta11y , emotionally, and spiritually undeve1oped to comprehend it

    And they never speak about the concept of takwa in islam and its deep meaning
    They cherry pick as usual !

    To who ever thought "the war iran" would only last a week, shows how much u paid a attention in school. War never last a week. It can go on for month to years 😒 trump is full of shit. Hes only looking out for him self and rich friends. No politician does anything unless its for money. Trump is for the rich, not the poor

    What happens next?
    Exact what we said….years ago.
    And it’s finally happening, but you useful idiots don’t have a clue on how to play the long game.
    It’s abundantly clear based on all your desires for instant gratification.

    It's amazing that we keep finding money for all this stupid shit, but we never have taxpayer money for things we need. All these checks written with borrowed money that we're expected to pay back. I hate everything now. Nothing brings me joy and when I look to the future I'm depressed, angry, and disheartened. Nothing works anymore and Boomers, and now Gen X, are sitting around not letting us do or change anything. For the Boomers especially, y'all are literally dying out. Get out of the fucking way and let your kids finally start doing the work if you're not going to. And before you blow up my notifications, if you're a Boomer and you're going to say "I'm not like that", good for you! Congratulations! You can ignore this comment and go on with your life. My sentiment is for the other people in your age cohort.

    As a resident of the "Gulf Coast", hearing that term used for someplace other than the Gulf of Mexico instinctually threw me off.

    Iraq – poorly substantiated accusations of WMD.
    Iran – poorly substantiated accusations of WMD.

    The US doing what it does best – imposing its will on other countries for ulterior motives.

    Thank you for the last point. It always felt like minimizing the zealots, when they're how we got where we are. It was the same growing up when the teachers would try to convince me that the majority of the class wasn't racist and didn't think I was beneath them, but I had to remind them that I was still being forced to sit in the same class with a corner of the class that did, instead of teaching them their bigotry.

    This conditioned altruism really kneecaps us from seeing reality and the infections among us.

    5:18 All up there’s over 80 different lengths of a ’Mile’ (league, Leuge, Meile, etc)
    ….. and yet y’all still have not caught up to the inherent craziness of that, have not adopted metric yet! 🤪

    ’bit slow’ is a bit of an understatement, maybe?
