Very interesting. Carter has the best voice for Arabic for LBJ a close second. Both southerners.

Bernie Madoff was a m*jahid against the worldwide demonic system run ditectly from under the throne of baalzebub in wallstreet.

This is how talking, let alone discussing anything controversial, with Trads feels like:

Xitter gets more cursed by the day.

Shaykh Deng can show us the way but we have to be willing to walk on it.

Art Deco is the perfect mold for a new occidental style of islamic architecture.

Comedic genius that al Qassam made the fat one express gratitude for the food and drinks 🤣

We are now entering an era where the heat of battle blinds the bureaucrats and politicians. Just like the Gulf made the GAE's highest echelons turn a blind eye to China's rise, the risk of Sino supremacy across multiple fields creates an opportunity for the ambitious among us.

We engaged in succesfull resistance with the dollar pump on full capacity and the watchfull eye of the letter agencies.

Now is the time we can build the infrastructure for future sovereignty and growth. The world is too busy to care.

The Soviet intellectuals were right in their observation: under Communism, the future is certain, yet history always changes. This notion—unintended, perhaps—casts a curious light on the world of scholarship, where even the most brilliant historians, armed with years of meticulous research, find their conclusions unmade.
Within a mere five years of retirement, the intellectual fortresses they constructed are often reduced to ruins by the advancing tide of new evidence.

So much remains unknown; so many ironclad hypotheses crumble into irrelevance.

Why, for instance, did the West industrialize and rise to dominance while other civilizations faltered? The answer eludes us still, tantalizingly out of reach. Consider the Netherlands: all conditions aligned in their favor, and yet it was the English who first breached the threshold of industrial revolution.

And what of the Islamicate world? What missteps led it astray? I have come to believe that the very framing of this question as a central focus of effort is a misallocation of intellectual resources.

Definitive answers are an illusion, especially when the historical record of the Islamicate world lies in shambles, its archives scattered, incomplete, poorly preserved. Even in the Occident, with its comparatively meticulous record-keeping, what we uncover is not certitude but directional truths—hints of causality, never the whole.

This is why I am drawn to the SAIF approach: a call to direct collective energy not toward the dissection of history, but toward the realization of future industrialization.

Thr future of the Ummah is certain, even though it's history always changes.
