[TR][TD]AMERICA HAS ALWAYS ELECTED A BULLY | The Bearded One
So, Trump has finally conceded the election. Sorta. Kinda. Maybe. Perhaps. And thus ends America’s encounter with the reality of 2016-vintage populist nationalism. His kooky cuckoo coup crew (as comedian Seth Meyers calls them) have failed for now in their openly ludicrous and vile attempt to subvert the will of the American electorate. But only…...[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]

A person ruling a Muslim majority country is not the same as an Islamic leader.

I won’t even bother regarding your other statement...

I am from Bangladesh, in 1971 during our war of independence a lot of "islamic leaders" a la moududi and his cohorts actively participated in genocide, even to this day dudes are infighting one gives one opinion and then there is another to give a counter fatwa.

Well, as they say..

One man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist. It rings true no matter who you point at..

Because life is war.

It's an utter duality and contradiction, to the point that if you sought help against bullying, those in the know would say that retaliation often results in the victim being perceived as the problem.

Just today I saw an Australian important person absolutely outraged and livid that China had put out a deep fake of an Australian soldier killing an afghan civilian child.. As opposed to an afghan terrorist child.

Totally wrong that.

...While the very much real case of afghan civilians executed in cold blood by Australian soldiers is brushed under the carpet.. Somebody better download the internet videos even though they are not worth much more than the view count.

It's always about how you answer what is presented before you.

Life has become a pantomime and the absolute truth counts for very little..

God loves in the drama.. Lives, damn autocorrect.

...I can't act for toffee though.

The world has changed.

Its says its with you, so how can you even fight it?

Make a move and see what the god of the room thinks about it.

It really isn't how I thought it would be.

Better get the sincere prayers in so something else can have a go.

It seems like we have different opinions about who we consider to be "Islamic leaders". I look to those who were the best of examples that came before us such as the prophet (pbuh) and those closest to him. I don't consider youtube stars, muftis, political activists, modern day philosophers, etc. as so called Islamic leaders, especially if they go against their ways.

Besides, we don't have any unified Islamic governments, so to make the comparison between the so called leaders in America to the so called Islamic leaders is not a logical approach, especially if you think those in office actually care about the best interests of Americans. How many American lives have been ruined just by the "justice" system and "medicare" system? Poverty in certain areas isn't by accident. The opioid and overall drug problem isn't by accident. America doesn't have military bases around the world for the sake of the American citizen or to spread "freedom". Corruption exists at the highest level of government and there isn't even an attempt to hide it anymore.

These days, posts and threads seem to disappear rather quickly, so I try not to invest too much time into making posts anymore, so I'll just leave it there..
