I mean The Crusades as a whole barely killed 2 million in the almost 3 centuries it was waged and was mostly a sideshow in the grand scheme of things esp in Europe.

The 30 Years War on the otherhand killed at least 4 million people with typical estimates reaching over 8 million (with the highest numbers even surpassing World War 1's total death rates) and that is just deaths from battles and fighting alone and does not count deaths from famines and diseases esp near the final years of the war (and afterwards), An entire country that would become Germany today was destroyed to the ground and so many European nations was bankrupted. In particular Sweden (who was a great power on the verge of becoming a superpower) and esp Spain (the premier superpower of the time and would lose all the gold and silver it gained from Latin America because they spent almost all of it on the war).

The war ultimately destroyed the Vatican's hold on Europe and even in nations where Catholicism dominated the culture so much as to be indistinguishable from Romanism such as Italy marked a sharp decease in Church prestige and gradual rise of secular influences.

So much of the Constitution and Bill of Rights of America was created in fear of the tyranny of the Catholic Church coming from this war and the patterns of the Protestant revolutions.

Yet the 30 Years War (and the wars of the Protestant Reformation in general) is never brought up as the focal point of holy wars. While the Crusades is seen as the embodiment of religious fanaticism and sacred wars despite not even really impacting even the Middle Eastern kingdoms of its time period.

Don't get me started on the war on the Anglo Saxons, Portugal's conquest of Goa, Islamic invasion of the Sassinids, and other even more obscure conflicts.

How did the Crusades get the reputation of THE HOLY WAR by which all others are measured by? It should be the 30 Years War since Europe was literally shaped by it esp Western secularism and individualism and the American principle of Freedom of Religion was based all around fear of the Rome's tyranny!

هنا ليس للدفاع عن احد. اتفهم حزن العرب علي موقف مصر من فلسطين خاصة في الاونه الاخيره. لكن دائما كنت اشعر بان العربي بصفه عامه و اهلنا في الخليج و الشام دائما ينظرون للمصريين اما بنظره دونيه او كره بالرغم اني اجد ان المصريين تربوا علي ولائهم للمنطقه العربيه و الاسلاميه و تاريخ مصر يشهد مثل صلاح الدين و قطز وغيرهم ممن ردوا الحملات الصليبية و التتار علي مدي التاريخ.

كما احيانا اجد ان عرب الشام او الخليج لا يفضلوا النسب مع المصريين. مره اخري انا هنا لست بصدد الدفاع عن احد.

الهدف محاربة المحاولات المستمرة للصهاينة في اشعال الفتنة بين العرب

This last decade I was always suspicious of the sudden rise of nationalism and for Arabs and Muslims suddenly to care so much about their borders or the name of thier country as a unique identifier; and their border somehoW making them different from the rest of Arabs and Muslims.

This sudden surprising rize of nationalism is 100% start and invented by our leadership and Thier Zionist Americans partners; produce this vail ideology that have no morals and it's inspired by USA liberalism Which under the excuse of prosperity and development and the enrichment of Country it's hallal for any Arab country to normalize the relationship with Israel despite that will hurt the right of Palestinians and their land.

The other lines written and this nationality manifesto is finding small detail and make them look big and very important and different for example who is Arab by DNA and who is not Arab by dna; Wich make others nations that suddenly feel excluded from general Arab body will look for other mythical older nation Pharaohs morabitin or mowahidin to draw Thier unique identifier from Which mean this people are consciously going to an old nations of the past; that hase nothing to do with today age whatsoever to find thier unique identifier to make themselves look different; and this is for me start a very dangerous public discours of who is bloodline is from Arab tribes; or this people call themselves descendents of the sahaba or older Arab tribes that fight some random war with Mohamed be peace upon him; or Moroccans who will claim ownership of the Andalus witch produce a response from Saudis who will say that us and our ancestors who conquer and build the Andalus; then Egyptian will jump in the conversation they will say to people from the gulf we Been supporting you financialy through history you piece of shit how dare call us poor; or people from the gulf saying because they are from tribes that support Mohamed in his war that somehow make them incapable of doing immoral stuff; and I can go on and on the supply of braindead social discours is littéraly unlimited .

The funny part about this nationalism cancer; historicaly north African or Arabsdidn't care who they are and also historicaly entire tribes of north Africans move to the levant region and entire tribes Of Arabs from mecca Yemen move to live in the north Africans to get close to the shors and get closer to water supplies and maybe they love beach 🏖️ Or they are just bored; this people Didn't think who they are and they didn't have a passport or visa they did what they feel at the moment.

This nationalism ideology is dangerous and it's give an excuse to Israel to do Whatever they want now and in the future; and it's all for the price of safety; pluspreventing any future Arab spring if it's start to not expand in other places and it's work Algerian go on street against botflika and nobody care about that and I remember Arabs watch revolutions with passion during Arab spring today Tunisian are still on street protesting quias said but no one know They are protesting as the Blackout from the media is entirely made to not produce a reaction from the rest of the Arab Islamic world.

So my question to you today my dear nationalist: country pro your boarders nationalism why do you care so much about a line drawed by someone who is not even an Arab and let's me add he draw your flag tooAnd he choose who will rule you and and he wants you to be a nationalist because its much easier for him to take whatever he want from you if you are alone.

أحبَبْتُ مثنی أو ثلاثَ وأَكْثرا

لٰكِنّني  لم  أَنْسَها،  لَنْ   أُنْكِرا

أحْببْتُ بَكَّةَ والمَدينةَ طِيْبةً

بغدادُ نَبعي، حُبُّ قُدسي كُبِّرا

أمّا  لماذا  حُبّها  مُتَجَذِّرٌ؟

"سبحانَ من أسری" تُجيبُ لِأَفخرَا

‏لطاهر بن الحسين : الكذب رأس المآثم والزور والنميمة خاتمتها. لأنّ النميمة لا يسلم صاحبها، وقائلها لا يسلم له صاحب ولا يستقيم لطبعه أمر!

وقد قال عبدة بن الطيّيّب :

وأعصوا الَّذِى يُسْدِى النَّمِيمَةَ بَيْنَكُمْ متنصّحاً وهْوَ السِّمامُ المُنْقَعُ

يُزْجى عَقَارِبَهُ ليَبْعَثَ بَيْنَكُمْ حَرْباً كَمَا بَعَثَ العروق الأَخْدَعُ

حَرَّانَ لا يَشْفِى غَلِيلَ فُؤَادِه عَسَلٌ بماءٍ في الإِناءِ مُشَعْشَعُ

لا تَأْمَنُوا قَوْماً يَشِبُّ صَبِيُّهُمْ بَيْنَ القَوَابلِ بالعَدَاوَةِ يُنْشَعُ

إِنَّ الَّذيِنَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ خُلاَّنَكُم يَشْفى صُدَاعَ رُؤوِسِهِمْ أَنْ تُصرَعُوا

فَضَلَتْ عَدَاوَتُهُمْ على أَحْلامِهِمْ وأَبَتْ ضِبَابُ صُدُورِهِمْ لا تُنْزَِعُ

قَوْمٌ إِذا دَمَسَ الظَّلاَمُ عليْهِمُ حَدَجُوا قَنَافِذَ بالنَّمِيمَةِ تَمْزَعُ

Assalam alaykum. One of the most famous journalists in the USA, award-winning Bob Woodward, is best known for his investigative reporting, particularly his work on the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s. He recently published a new book that delves into the behind-the-scenes stories of three significant conflicts—Ukraine, the Middle East, and the struggle for the American presidency. In his section on the Gaza crisis, he reveals details of discussions held during Blinken's visits with various Arab leaders and how they reacted to the ongoing conflict. Here are some highlights:

- The U.S. and Iran gave assurances to each other through back channels that neither wanted war. - Qatar has promised the U.S. to disavow and kick out Hamas after the conflict is over.

- Netanyahu deliberately and in a concentrated effort prevented humanitarian aid from entering Gaza. When confronted, he offered to let in "experts"; he was reminded that starving people cannot eat or drink an "expert."

- Netanyahu was absolutely terrified of Hezbollah having been part of the initial Oct 7 attack to the point he contemplated a pre-emptive strike. He was relieved when he found out that wasn't the case.

- Egypt gave Israel/U.S. extensive intelligence on Hamas, including their tunnel networks and operational strategies. Egypt even advised Israel on how to maneuver in Gaza.

- Saudi Arabia was very close to normalizing with Israel; however, Oct 7 ended all of this. MBS said to Blinken that 70% of his population was young and oblivious to the Palestinian cause. Now they are exposed to it constantly, and for there to be normalization, a clear Palestinian pathway is needed. When Blinken presented this to Netanyahu, he declared the need to come up with "creative wordsmithing," i.e., a solution that is not real.

- The Republicans endorsed giving Saudi Arabia security assurances in exchange for normalization. Lindsey Graham said it was crucial the normalization was done while the Democrats were in office because otherwise, they would never vote for "going to war for Saudi Arabia."

- The U.S. is increasingly worried about the perception of Israel as a rogue state.

Sure! Here’s your message with corrected punctuation:

I have been reading on Arab naming conventions which contain kunya, ism, nasab, nisba, and maybe laqab. From what I have understood, the most common thing is that your name starts with a kunya, although you can not have one due to not having progeny or simply because it is not being used for you. The kunya could also be after the ism; for example, Youssef Abu Mahmoud ibn Hassan ibn Ahmed is also correct, yet it is uncommon to have the kunya after the ism. The kunya can’t be after a nasab; it’s either before or after the ism. The nasab is basically your lineage, and you can be known by it, like Ibn Khaldun is. It can be either your direct father or a distant ancestor. The nisba can be anything from a tribe, like Al-Hashemi, a place, like Al-Halabi, an ethnicity, like Al-Masri, or a religious affiliation, like Al-Hanbali or Al-Ash'ari. Your name can contain multiple nisbas, like Ahmed ibn Hassan Al-Hanbali Al-Asqalani Al-Hashemi. The tribe is traditionally put last, I believe, although I am not sure. A laqab is basically an epithet, like Salah al-Din or Al-Rashid. It can be either put last, like Al-Rashid, put first, like Saladin, or put after the kunya. A random example would be Abu Youssef Shihab al-Din Mahmoud Al-Armani; that would be correct.

This is what I understand so far. If something is wrong or if there are any additional bits you can add, I would be thankful. I also have some specific questions:

1. I Abu Bakr or Umm Kalthum are used as personal names, do they cease being kunyas? For example, the Egyptian singer Umm Kalthum—that's just her personal name and doesn't count as a kunya?

2. Can a kunya be used as a nasab? For example, Youssef ibn Abu Abdullah ibn Mahmoud. If yes, does that count as a kunya in this name or only by itself?

3. If a laqab like Salah al-Din is used as an ism or personal name, does it still count as a laqab or just an ism?

Recently got over my obsession with Fairuz, can someone tell me where I can download all of Umm Kulthom's songs? Internet Archive's links are broken ;( Shukran.

pretty much what the title says.

i’ve known this guy for a very long time he’s Arab and i’m a Mexican Native American woman. we know alot about each other, we have a lot in common. we get along great and he’s the kindest man i’ve ever met, he makes me feel safe and secure i really really like him and would like to be more than friends and be in a relationship with him.

thing is i know we both have completely different cultures and backgrounds but we have been friends for years so he already knows about mine and i know about his. in my Native family they usually encourage us Native women to marry and date Native men but my mom has already met him and she approves him the thing is i don’t know if it would be okay and the same way his mom and so forth. he hasn’t met my whole family but he met my mom briefly when picking me up for a date. i know his brothers, i know his friends and they make me feel very welcome and i feel honored for that.

i’m probably just rambling and sound stupid but basically i want to knwk do i stand a chance with him? is there a possibility that we can have a relationship? should i pursue it and see what happens? has anyone dated/married outside of the culture? if so how do you feel about it and is it approved? is it okay?

thank you.

What race do you get mistaken for the most? I see a lot of Arabs get mistaken as Mexican or white and even Indian. Which one do you guys get mistaken for the most?

My family in the Ummah and by bond, Mohammed & Aya Al-Sayyah, who're also struggling to survive in Gaza, Palestine 🇵🇸, have informed me of their very close friend and fellow brother, Yamen Nashwah, who has a mother, father with a severe leg injury, and 2 little sisters, all of who wish to seek refuge in Egypt, until they, like Mohammed & Aya, may return to a restored and free Palestine. ❤️🖤💚🍉
