    ISIS releases new video of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for first time since 2014

    Update: I have the full 18-minute video downloaded and will be uploading it to archive.org for those curious. Will probably not translate it — I have better things to do — and I dunno if anyone else will. The Twitter account I got it from has since been suspended so not sure If it can be found...

    ISIS releases new video of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for first time since 2014

    And so did the Americans several other times. I personally won't believe it until I see a photo of his corpse the likes of that of al-Zarqawi. But of course we'll never get that.

    ISIS releases new video of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for first time since 2014

    I doubt it. The video was obviously made very recently. Al-Baghdadi talks about the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka and various other recent events. I don't think anyone external knew of it before today. That's a very narrow time frame.

    ISIS releases new video of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for first time since 2014

    So you think the fact (and proof) that the most notorious terrorist of our age is still alive despite multiple claims of him being killed should be suppressed knowledge?

    ISIS releases new video of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for first time since 2014

    This is very important. What Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi currently looks like is crucial intelligence. And most news outlets have been very reluctant to show much of the actual video, which is in Arabic and would only reach a small audience in the West anyway. I could only find the full thing from...

    ISIS releases new video of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for first time since 2014

    ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may have appeared for the first time in five years - CNN There have been some doubts about the authenticity of the video, but it's very clearly him not just from the appearance but also the voice if you know Arabic. I have not been able to find the full video...

    Will Trump cause a war with Iran ?

    And al-Qaeda and Sayyid Qutb were both heavily influenced by the Wahhabis and their poster-boy Ibn Taymiyyah. What are you trying to say? Are these the typical lies about Saddam creating ISIS? ISIS sprung from al-Qaeda and was originally called "al-Qaeda in Iraq." You seem like you don't have...

    Will Trump cause a war with Iran ?

    Of course I don't know any of these people. Why would I associate with them? They believe Shias to be kuffar and make up all kinds of lies about them. Yes, I read Arabic.

    Will Trump cause a war with Iran ?

    As far as I'm concerned, anyone running around and calling themselves a Wahhabi is an idiot. Also, I did not cite the Western press. I literally cited ISIS themselves and the writings of Muhammad ibn Abdu'l-Wahhab.

    How much "interfaith" is the Bahai faith really?

    Outwardly very interfaith but inwardly not so much. During his trips to the West, ʿAbdu'l-Bahāʾ was presenting the Bahāʾī Faith as an almost universalist creed, saying such things as this: ʿAbdu'l-Bahāʾ also spoke at venues such as the Paris Theosophical Society, known for their universalist...

    Do Women Have Souls?

    This is an exclusively Alawite belief. That's probably where they heard it from.

    Will Trump cause a war with Iran ?

    Al-Qaeda and ISIS are definitely Wahhabi. They're just slightly more faithful to what Muhammad ibn Abdu'l-Wahhab actually believed, which was takfir and jihad upon anyone who didn't agree with him. ISIS talks about this in their magazine Dabiq, issue 13, p. 7:

    New York Times Apologizes for Anti-Semitic Cartoon Aimed at Trump and Netanyahu

    It's a fact. Zionists/the Israeli gov't. and Jews are not the same thing, just like patriots/the US gov't. and Americans are not the same thing. Just because you belong to a specific group does not mean you get to decide whether people can criticise you for being a bigoted jingo, which is...

    New York Times Apologizes for Anti-Semitic Cartoon Aimed at Trump and Netanyahu

    "x as dogs or [insert animal here]" is an old trope in American political cartoons. You are reading too much into this.

    Julian Assange Arrested in London

    This is very ironic coming from someone who hates Assange.

    This is typical for American political cartoons. Nothing anti-Semitic about it. Criticising Israel does not mean you hate Jews.

    The Fatal Flaw of the Cosmological Argument

    Are atheists really so inept that the only philosopher they can understand is Bertrand Russell? God, analytic philosophy is veritable trash, and Russell's rebuttal of the Cosmological Argument is probably one of the worst, having been picked apart by so many others. Cosmological Argument...

    A religion more dangerous than Islam?

    If association with and tacit support for political leaders is not political, then nothing is. The reality is that the Baha'is have defined politics as anything that undermines the status quo, and so it is apparently not political that you have writings of Baha'u'llah and others praising the US...
