no, it starts here
Tariq Ramadan, Hamza Yusuf, Abdul Hakim Murad. Two decades of intellectual ground setting for Muslim identity in the West. One got tempted by women (sorry he did and he had little options), other co-opted by Judaic power. Third prays that the Royal Family becomes Muslim so British Muslims can find their Qibla. Sinwar, ended up giving them a real identity. And Iranian ballistics is the new inspiration. I hope some UK seminaries can connect with Tehran and send their brightest. And I hope Tehran stops the manipulation and conversion business. Teach and release.

monotheism is so weird sometimes
Replying to @safwanSpiker7
so if the pagans said ya lat ya 'uzza on the verge of death would it not be shirk and we should feel empathy for them? i dont get the objection here 😂

One of my great petty joys in life is being right about Hamza Yusuf 20 years ago

Watch @muslimorthodoxy admit he worships a physical material God and says his God is spatially extended!🤣🤣

I saw him do this spot at a WWF house show in 1996 vs. Aldo Montoya. Instead of the Hollywood Blondes camera-rolling gesture he just threw middle fingers at the crowd. It was 1996 and still unreal to see a wrestler flipping people off, love the proto-Attitude period

I'm more or less at peace with where I am. I will always be a Muslim. I will probably never be an "orthodox" Muslim by anyone's score card. None of it's been a waste.

Can you stop quoting me it’s really annoying to be quoted by a man who hates Islam but still can’t let go bc he wasted years and years of his life on it, thanks

Opposes Mother’s Day because it’s a “performative capitalist gimmick” but also is “fat loss coach for working Muslim men” ok
Question for the Muslims celebrating Mother’s Day 1) where is the basis for a day to celebrate mothers found in the Quran and sunnah? 2) if there is no basis for it, why do you do it? 3) if it’s to show love and appreciation for your mum, why don’t you do that everyday? Instead of singling out one day? (Not that this negates that Mother’s Day has no basis in our religion) 4) to those of you posting photos of your mothers on the internet, have you no ghayrah for your womenfolk that you’ll post photos of your mum to be looked at and saved by strangers on the internet? Mother’s Day is a performative capitalist gimmick, no different to Valentine’s Day.

Oh God, not you again. Can’t you just go and apostate in peace ?

Obviously that’s not it. I choose a sexual ethics that prioritizes consent, even if that puts me at odds with normative fiqh-driven ethics.

Sorry for responding this way. They blocked me after I asked a question they couldn’t answer. But again, my real point was a rejection of fiqh as basis for sexual ethics.

All these Sunnoid bros trying to help my confusion: I’d feel better about fiqh if you can point me to the madhhab that says all sexual coercion is haram, full stop

At this point MT really just uses “Orientalist” to mean any piece of scholarship we don’t like

"Strict legalism and precision in theology kills the spirit". Just say you're a liberal heretic and move on.

Fiqh loses me with the low value given to consent — not just that there are haram forms of consensual sex, but also that there are halal forms of nonconsensual sex. Not trying to enter into negotiations with that system

White men fantasizing about superior masculinity in some exotic other-land isn’t just a Nietzsche thing. You can find living white supremacists on the same trip
Nietzsche critiquing Christianity for getting rid of Andalusian Islam which was a more masculine culture that embraced and affirmed life:

When isnad criticism moves me, it's always in a disassembling way: engaging hadith as interaction of diverse networks, not direct line from the origins. Sometimes that deconstruction is necessary [Little's Aisha project] but after taking M apart, doesn't put him back together

Have any of the scholars behind "Navigating Differences" said a word of condolences or acknowledgment for Imam Muhsin Hendricks?
