Please pardon my preaching Mis_TR_Like, but I wanted to share a Hadith with you. A prophecy regarding the condition of the Muslims during the end of times: Narrated Thawban: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share...

I think you and @Mis_TR_Like would find this talk quite informative. It is on one of the prinicipal figures responsible for bringing the Turkic world into Islam, Khwaja Ubaidullah Ahrar. Alot of interesting insights into early interactions between the Mongols and the Persian-speaking Muslims of...

I would agree. The people who run Pakistan are self-serving to the bone. They don't even care about their fellow countrymen why would they care about Turkey? Turkey has very legitimate interests in Pakistan, but I hope that Turkish decision makers are realistic about what Pakistan is and how...

The monastic understanding of Islam is not indigeneous to Islam, but was imported from Europe during the colonial period. Islam was historically never "apart from the world" but "within the world". Modern day islamism suffers this feature of rejecting the world, rejecting science, philosophy. I...

reminds me of this talk by Shaykh Ahmed Kuftaro, former Grand Mufti of Syria, and a Naqshbandi:

Reallly appreciated this interview by Mr. Fidan.

You guys may have already seen this, but first time I'm coming across this. From 2016 apparently. 2023 however:

really enjoyed the read there on your website. Thanks!

ok ok phew, had me in my feelings for a second lol

very sad if true. I'm reading "Depression and Anxiety" by Shaykh Said Ramadan Al-Bouti right now. We lost a great man in him. If they come for the sufi's, they are the same Al-Qaeda/ISIS of old no doubt. SNA should hold them accountable if they opt for such bestial behavior.

The Arabs have been continuing a behavioral pattern of collaborating with westerners to overthrow their governments which they are dissatisfied for one reason or another (for reasons real or imagined). This begins with the revolt against the Ottomans and has continued through all the regime...

Lets just re-iterate joy for the grand liberations as well of Libya, Iraq, and Egypt the democratic paradises they are today. As well let us re-iterate discontent over the failed liberation of Afghanistan, the hell-hole it is today.

The people cheered when Saddam Hussein was fallen, but they are not cheering today. What come's next is a state of disorder, and this can go in many ways. Israel is clearly involved to some extent with HTS. Ibrahim Kalin also met with Ronen Brar of Shin Bet just last month, so I would speculate...

Theocracies, religio-supremacist states, who is keeping count in the clown show that is the middle east. For every mocking finger an Israeli/Zionist points towards the other jokes in the region, there are four pointing back.

Salam Rooxbar, First off, thank you for taking the time to educate me somewhat. It's clear to me that there is much more depth and breadth to the topic than simply reading into structural realism. I'm pretty much making my first readings into any form of Political Science now, so this is a...

Since you read it only as a sweet summer child, I expect nothing less than that you're in possession of a fiefdom somewhere. Do you prefer Baron, or Duke? edit: Replied before you added on the last two paragraphs there, deserves a more serious reply now i think. I agree though, the book has...

I'm reading into structural realism right now, although in terms of directly reading from books I've decided start more historically with Machiavelli. I am beginning this journey with a measure of skepticism of the black-box approach to formulating a general theory of state behavior because I...
