Something interesting about great/central mosques in Europe is that quite a few of them are connected to some form of heterodoxy and/or a variety of thought that doesnt sit well with the mainstream majority of muslims in that country. This also makes that many great/central mosques in Europe have relatively low number of worshippers and instead mainly function as hallmarks for when an ambassador from an Islamic country visits, when there is interfaith dialogue etc. (Though most of this is moreso because a lot of them are located in city centres or other areas with few immigrants and most Muslims might not necessarily know about the particular religious leaning of the mosque).
Though I'm not sure who heads the mosque now, I know for a while the great mosque of Rome was intimately tied to Pallavacini's (Italian Traditionalist) circle. Similarly, Valsan had a large influence on the central mosque of Paris, the London Central Mosque/ICC also had strong ties to Trad. school etc. Early mosques in Europe also were often set up by the Ahmadi community though their mosques tend to be a lot smaller.
In general Traditionalists have had a much larger influence on people in prestigious or influential positions than most people realise (everyone knows about king Charles by now but there are a lot more) though it is equally remarkable how little those individuals have managed to utilize their positions to enact change (which might in part be chalked up to most Traditionalists having a very quietist attitude towards all things political)

The first 100 years of Crusader occupation of the Levant is filled with one atabeg after another blowing it too early and trying to be an aggressive mini kingdom too openly hostile to its neighbors despite having control over only one major city and some farmland. Only those who focused on the slow, consistent gain of resources and territory made it through to victory (Zengids then Saladin).
Concern trolling Syrians about how they’re traitors if they don’t immediately engage in “suicide by nuclear power” is dishonest and malevolent.

What Israel managed to understand that yet escapes the diaspora ‘intellectual’ traumatized by the colonial ghost, is that, in the longue durée, given the opportunity to build a purposeful, ambitious state, territorial integrity is not a first priority.
Ofc there are limitations to this, but a competent statesmen with a vision for his state beyond apportioning winnings to a neo-feudal class whose function becomes military paradism, should understand this in its particularities.

You hang around Arab elites/bureaucrats enough you begin to understand the rationality with which they approach rentierism.
Each actor is woefully aware of the system’s dysfunctionality and correctly assumes that honest conduct or otherwise on their part, it will remain thus.
These states don’t have reformable institutions that can aspire to anything beyond ‘corrupt but okay.’
Everyone, especially their heads of state, know this.
Moroccans tell a story about Hassan II. That when made aware of corruption among his service staff, he responded, “When have you ever known a beekeeper to not taste from the honey?”

@npub1jzt…9j4q

2025-02-24 18:21:06 UTC

Hot take but also correct ofc.
Fatwa shopping packaged as “bad” has actually nothing to do with fidelity to traditional institutions but to cultural proximity with a geographic mediation of those structures.
No serious scholar would’ve launched a critique of a subject’s taqwa in 16th century Cairo because he chose a Hanbali judge to write his nikah contract but a Hanafi judge to institute his waqf.
The idea that every Muslim must suddenly have the same relationship with fiqh as a premodern faqih-in-training or forfeit their journey of piety is ridiculous.
Note: I’m well aware of the scholastic discourse surrounding whether laity must do taqlid of a specific madhab, scholar, or the four schools at large. And the qawl of Al-Haytami.
But a position on the meta debate of what is lazim for laity is different than attacking a subject.

2025-02-24 18:18:14 UTC

Despite trite frustrations expressed by traditionalists or their mutated detractors regarding “le myth of progress” and its purported alienness to the Islamic remit, it is in fact Abrahamic faith that crafted the frame of mind upon which the “myth of progress” could be conceived
Also if you’re a Taymiyyan, employ Guenon-reading as a pejorative, but also whine about the myth of progress—you’re a boor and your worldview is a pile of retrded contradictions.

Dreams of rearing the mass on a program of spiritual politics that would usher a power grab at internally determined percentages of the population…
Enough failures have left them properly disillusioned with that vision but, importantly, it hasn’t made them different.
They’re still the same dead players, running the same motions, all the while losing steam and the capacity to attract young talent.

Insanoid extremist variants of salafism popular with 14-19 year old biomass online plays on the same psychological triggers the initial waves of redpill/manosphere did: the belief that 95%+ of the world is astray and YOU, AS PART OF THIS SELECT GROUP is AWAKE to it all.

If a it takes hundreds of inter-Dawah Inc ego-exchanges to escalate into Mubahala for the fancies of diaspora to die a calamitous death, it’ll be a small price to pay.

Almost every display of Islamic representation in western media is some gynocratic led exercise in engineered passivity.
A performance of “we’re just like youuu” that neither alters the trite perspectives of the accommodating lib or the frustrations of the disgruntled nat.
Instead, it reinforces the diaspora’s shared belief that there’s a note of resistance in aspiring to American Shitlib Suburbia amidst “Brothers’ Wrestling Night Fridays” and “Sisters Uncensored Halaqa-Night Saturdays.”
Either develop some semblance of Americana Civic Pride or acknowledge that we’re a bunch of plundering browns that will be going back.
Doesn’t matter which; just pick one. Either would be a marked improvement compared to ‘“I hate Amerikkka” in Bio but buy my HijabiQueen matcha.’
The greatest sin of the American Muslim diaspora, frankly, is simply how boring it allows itself to be.

"Speed creates pure objects. It is itself a pure object since it cancels out the ground and territorial reference-points, since it runs ahead of time to annul time itself, since it moves more quickly than its own cause and obliterates that cause by outstripping it
Speed is simply the rite that initiates us into emptiness: a nostalgic desire for forms to revert to immobility, concealed beneath the very intensification of their mobility. Akin to the nostalgia for living forms that haunts geometry
The only question in this journey is: how far can we go in the extermination of meaning, how far can we go in the non-referential desert form without cracking up and, of course, still keep alive the esoteric charm of disappearance?
The crucial moment is that brutal instant which reveals that the journey has no end, that there is no longer any reason for it to come to an end. Beyond a certain point, it is movement itself that changes."

The measure of a legendary, pluralist monarch does not depend on whether his actions conform to a vapid liberal’s sense of human rights…but on whether his legacy and its quality—be it pragmatist or divinely-guided—is squabbled over by the legalist heirs of a subject minority.
Cyrus won so much Rebbe X and Rebbe Y will perennially argue whether he were just a sharp goyim or a mashiach

There’s an urban legend that floats around Ikhwani types. No idea if it’s true but iirc it goes like:
Moshe Dayan once told an Arab counterpart that when the line for bread in Cairo looks like the one in Tel Aviv, Israel’s days will have come to an end.
Honestly, I’m not so sure the Israelis are any more domestically civil than the Arabs.
But the story does betray an MB-Islamism obsession with a culture of civility among the subaltern despite what I’d describe as their often misguided assumptions about how to engender it.

Marxist, Liberal, Shar’i, whatever label the institutions and systems of a power solemnly or nominally profess, the political elements of the superstructure mostly real in so far as they demarcate ‘consciousness, aesthetics, and power-relations’ relative to the base.
At the height of efficiency, the ground starts to look similar.
Thus , it’s perfectly possible that a system be entirely Islamic in its personal reading of its own political structure, but seemingly liberal, communist, or socially democrat to a neutral, external observer.
It’s really the sentiments of the observer that carry that outcome.
Let our players forego all political-identity and rob the archives for what works best within the fold of faith.
If, among others, that produces meaning in their grand crusade for political teleology, who cares

If you want to see a titular education clusterfuck look at Egypt.
—tired Thanaweya Amma system
—cuts in an underfunded schools and teachers operating in an entire alternative private-class industry that keeps the vocation afloat
—organized crime involved standardized testing
Perhaps the new Egyptian baccalaureate system has something to offer, or perhaps it’s one more reform in a series of endless tinkering with an edu system seemingly unable to escape inefficiency-by-competing-interests

You can accurately draw out a timeline of every “hot topic” related to Islam that the online right fervently discussed since October 7th 2023, and match it exactly to the Israeli media/pundit news being put out at the time. Yin to their Yang.
> October 7th happens
> the right discusses violent Izlamic jihad and how reprehensible it is
> Israel puts out beheaded babies hoax
> the right posts alleged massacres done by Muslim powers centuries ago
> hamas mass r*pe hoax
> the right posts about Islamic concubinage
Are you kidding me
