1. I’m one of those people who believes in going to the source. This book is a must read for all, irrespective of the political affiliation, ideology, religion or region 1 is from. This is well researched as vouched by its Index of references.

2. Recurrent famines, floods, incompetent n lazy rulers from within, exploitative rulers from outside, n the regular changes in the state religion moving b/w #Buddhism, #Hinduism, #Sunni Islam & #Shia Islam make Kashmir a hotbed of unrest over centuries with millions of deaths!
3. Here are few kings who contributed to the glorious periods in Kashmir.
Lalitaditya (724-761) was a great admin n a builder. He reorganised the admin machinery, added new functionaries including chief minister, Sr Chamberlain keeper of treasury. #GoodRulers #KashmirHistory Image

1. The only way to stop the #Iranians from threatening our force in #Syria is to slam the door at #Baghuz. But that's the border and taking a border crossing is a big deal. We are with the #SDF on the other side of the Euphrates but the SDF has to deal with the
2. Russians because Tяump betrayed them by surrendering to #Erdogan. @POTUS kept status quo with Turkey - still murdering #SDF. #Israel approaches political disintegration so #Putin & #Iran think it's good time use #Kremlin's caucus of @HouseGOP to help them take all of #Syria.
3. #ISIS is still very active on the west side of the #Euphrates next to the Iranians. We should get them all out but past and present policies have a price and ours is that we have to do this with US and/or other partner forces because of @SecBlinken's misguided #Turkey policy.

1. I reported on the first Russo-Ukrainian war starting with the Maidan Jan 2014. After Merkel & Macron's Minsk I and II, I focused on Syria in a belief that ISIS was a Russian and Iranian operation to destroy Syrian Sunnis political unity. I worked to arm and assist the Kurds.
2. The force grew and establishment of the #SDF brought #Sunni #Arabs, #Christians & #Turkmen to join a single umbrella force with US airpower taking back large parts of #Syria. They still hold it much of it but #Putin gave large parts to #Erdogan who folded in ISIS & Al-#Qaeda
3. and along with #Russia, #Turkey, #Iran and #Assad act as a sort of overwatch. With US SOF and Bradleys from the 4th ID there as democracy's last hope.

When the Battle for Raqqa started in 2017, I observed ISIS military leadership made up of mostly Chechens started to leave.

1- research shows very limited if any specific advantage for marijuana (THC, CBD, etc) in treating any medical conditions. And to date, the FDA has not approved a marketing application for cannabis for the treatment of any disease or condition.
2- there is some research that shows some applications in adjunct treatment of a rare kinds of epilepsy ( Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet syndrome) and also as an appetite stimulant in cancer, AIDS or Alzheimer’s patients.

I am going to share some findings of @NamaKadrie about the history of the Hazaras in this thread. This may help you in understanding the current situation in Afghanistan a bit better.
1. "In analysing the history of #Afghanistan, scholars and historians often assessed the independence and autonomy of a given region based on their ability to resist an imposition of tax. Paying levies was therefore the way power-relations and supremacy was understood.
2. "In this sense, the #Hazarajat as a whole was what scholars often deemed as a “semi-independent” region. By 1891, aside from #Uruzgan, every other region (14 districts) of the #Hazarajat paid taxes to Abdur Rahman Khan.

Enough people who know about #Afghanistan are weighing in on the tragic/frightening scenes in #Kabul that there's no need for me to add my 2 cents. I do know something about the #MiddleEast so here are some thoughts about the ripples of the #Taliban victory across the region.1/13
No regional government is thrilled with both the humbling of US power AND the rise of a violent radical Sunni extremist govt in #Kabul allied with al-Qaeda. Some may welcome the former but none want the latter. 2/13
Some, especially in #Turkey and #Qatar, will position themselves as #Taliban-whisperers, offering to tame/interpret/represent #Kabul's new leaders to the outside world. Their real influence is likely to be minimal. Caveat emptor. 3/13

Indian #Shia activist Amir-ul-Hassan Jafari: I'll award Rs1.1 million ($USD 15000) to anyone who beheads Wasim Rizvi for filing a petition in the Supreme Court seeking to remove 26 verses of the Quran. Under Islamic rule, he would have been stoned to death.

1. I missed @maddow today and just watched the interview with @jrpsaki. She made a pronouncement in the @StateDept presser 2014 that changed my life. She announced the #YPG #YPJ were not considered listed within #PKK #FTO designation and the next day, I went to war against #ISIS.
2. I knew they would win. But they needed our help then and they need it now. Too many times we have betrayed the #Kurds and it's more than Kurds in the new #Syria in #NES we will betray. #Sunni #Arabs, #Christians & #Ezidi can create #peace with the #Alawi with strong US support
3. the extortion practiced by #Assad will become meaningless. People are tired of ##war and #Turkey-backed #Islamists have got to go. Assad and the Russians can't do it because Assad represents an existential threat to Sunni #Druze, Kurds, Ezidi and #Christian #Syrians.

#Lebanon’s #Tripoli is the poorest city in the #Mediterranean, with marginalised #Sunni population with reported of 80% uneducated, high unemployment, well before #BeirutBlast
No wonder the city’s youth had enough and protest against #lockdown
Thus far, one dead & 200+ injured
#Lebanon
Traditionally, the #Hariri’s Mustaqbel party is the patron of Sunnis, but thanks to Saad Hariri’s weak leadership, Sunnis, especially in #Tripoli, are now under the influence of Salafi sheikhs and even #Erdogan’s #Turkey

Thread on 🇹🇷&🇬🇷 standoff in East Med. Early Aug 🇹🇷 sent seismic vessel & warships for gas research on continental shelf claimed by both, 🇹🇷 seeking create fait accompli. This is clear violation international law. 🇬🇷sent warships to prevent this. None wants conflict but big risk.1
#Erdogan wants to revise status quo, incl. the 1923 Lausanne Treaty which defined the borders of the #Turkish Republic. Revisionism is dangerous, that’s what wars are made of. Militaristic rhetoric is not helping either. 2 bit.ly/3hHosmh
🇪🇺wants partnership with 🇹🇷, important for security, energy & migration. But EU🇪🇺 mainly owes solidarity to members 🇬🇷&🇨🇾 when facing external threat. Many carrots on table but without some sticks 🇪🇺 cannot be credible. 🇪🇺 on Friday listed sanctions if 🇹🇷 continues escalation. 3

Despite the fact that there are at least 80 million native speakers of #Urdu and that it is a language used in #Muslim seminaries as far a field as #SouthAfrica #UK and #Myanmar there seems to be little scholarship on Urdu #QuranExegesis and translation - a thread 1/
The earliest translations seem to have been completed in #NorthIndia by Shāh ʿAbd al-Qādir (d. 1815), son of the famous Shāh Walīullāh (d. 1762) but lesser known is the contemporary translation by the #Shii scholar Sayyid ʿAlī (1785-1823), son of Sayyid Dildār ʿAlī (d. 1820) 2/ Image
The former remains in print and this is due to the easy to read language - the latter has not remained in print due to its high Persianate style and was quickly superseded by the translations of Maulānā Farmān ʿAlī (1853-1916) and Sayyid Maqbūl Aḥmad Dihlavī (1870-1921) 3/ ImageImage

Fatwa by Lahore's #Deobandi seminary Jamia Ashrafia: In an Islamic state, non-Muslims are allowed to maintain and renovate their existing places of worship but they are not allowed to build new ones. ImageImage
That's the traditional position of 4 #Sunni schools (#Hanafi, #Shafii, #Maliki, #Hanbali) and Twelver Shias: non-Muslim citizens of an Islamic state can maintain and renovate their existing places of worship but not build news ones.
#Salafi cleric Allama Hisham Elahi Zaheer: #Barelvi, #Deobandi, #Salafi and all Muslim schools agree that non-Muslims can't build news places of worship in an Islamic state. Pakistan govt has cancelled Hajj subsidy but spends public money on a Hindu temple in Islamabad.

#Jafr is a set of divinatory and prognostic occult practices - a science associated with the Imams of the family of the #Prophet #Ahlulbayt iranicaonline.org/articles/jafr that comprises #lettrism and other methods 1/
