ایک یونانی ناصبی کیا کہتا ہے :
مولانا مودودی کو بلا شبہ عصرِحاضر کا غزالی کہا جا سکتا ہے۔ امام غزالی نے مسلمانوں کے ہاں مادی علم کی ترقی کے سنہرے دور پر متکلمین کی فوج تیار کر کے ایسا وار کیا کہ مادی علوم کو میسر افرادی قوت میں شدید کمی واقع ہو گئی۔ اگرچہ ان کی کتاب تہافۃ الفلاسفہ میں تکفیر کئے جانے کے باوجود عقلی علوم کا چراغ جلتا رہا لیکن مذہبی خطیبوں کی گھن گرج میں اس کی لو بہت مدھم پڑ گئی۔ مولانا مودودی نے بھی اپنی کتب اور پیروکاروں کی مدد سے پاکستان کے تعلیمی اداروں پر ایسا ہی وار کیا ہے۔

Is the right guy jealous haha

• Nick Elam Ishmael Abraham Of the blissful ignorance? Possibly
• Ishmael Abraham Nick Elam Hitler was smart, he knew what he was doing. Mere knowledge does not inhibit racism. Psychological racism will haunt us as long as we do not give up the idea of nation-state. We need Platonic-Farabi superstates based on ethical genius.

Americans have a lot to thank the God their ancestors trusted.

• Peter Bell Yes, we do, but we also have a lot to repent from.
• Ishmael Abraham I have no problem if US Constitution describes America as a non denominational Christian state. Both of us know how xenophobia is exploited on both sides.

Homeschooling advocates in countries like Pakistan also tend to conflate secularism and humanism, leading to opposition of rights discourse but traditional humanists like Edhi have made humanism more inclusive and universal.

پاکپتن میں ہمارے دوست ڈاکٹر امیر ماہر نفسیات دان بہت اچھا کام کر رہے ہیں۔ انہوں نے پیر اور بابوں کو اس بات پر قائل کر لیا ہے کہ جنات کچھ خاص قسم کی ادویات سے ڈرتے ہیں۔ یہ بات سمجھانے کے لیے انہوں نے ایک بابے سے پوچھا کہ انسان سے جن باہر کیسے نکالتے ہو اس نے کہا کہ دم درود اور مار کٹائی کے ساتھ۔ ڈاکٹر صاحب نے کہ مارکٹائی مطلب جسمانی تشدد کر کے اگر جن نکل سکتے ہے تو اس جسم پر ادویات کے اثر سے بھی جن باہر نکل سکتا ہے۔ چنانچہ اب لوگ جن نکلوانے ڈاکٹر صاحب کے پاس آتے ہیں اور انہیں مریض ریفر کرنے والے زیادہ تر بابے اور پیر ہوتے ہیں

Message to Hoodbhoy: Jinn comes from junun and hypomanic psychosis. You are a yunani and parsi jinn. There semitic J1 races are true humans while R1 Indo Europeans are jinns called yajuj and majuj.

Nick Elam Horsemen of anti apocalypse is a pure idea compared to horsemen of apocalypyse. The line between utopia and dystopia is thin. Our mutual exposure can make us far more effective reformers than what current far right and far left offers.

If Native Americans had Quran, an indigenous Malcolm could establish a just world order. Jefferson had this feeling and owned a personal copy of Quran. Bible can no more be appropriated due to African slave trade history.

Ishmael Abraham We voted for Erdogan because we thought he could buffer sexual revolution which is common enemy of believers. I think Stalin caused us both suffering

The problem with Erdogan is that he has delusional ambitions of resurrecting the ottoman empire. He is very dangerous to us. But a more secular Turkey might be willing to come to some kind of agreement.

Ishmael AbrahamSako Gekchyan The spiritual goal of Ottomanism was to Islamize Constantinople which was achieved. To achieve it again in secular Istanbul requires only spiritual means. Sunnis will keep loving Erdogan due to murder of Morsi in Egypt because Sunnis have lost traditional leadership since world wars.

Sako GekchyanIshmael AbrahamThe problem is that this also involves the oppression of religious and ethnic minorities.

 Ishmael AbrahamI think traditional bearded Sunnis are also a cultural minority in modern world on whose behalf he acts. Only Gulen and Harun Yahya can challenge him on spiritual grounds. Identity politics is powerful whether Israel or Turkey.
