As a young man I saw a film in which a man losses his life because he refuses to betray his fellow fighters. Then I thought about the controversy in my soul. All the time I was on this hero's side, which practically meant that I wanted him to face the firing squad. Between death and betrayal, betrayal seemed worse. Why? There is only one reasonable answer: because there is something greater than life. In a universe without God, this man's sacrifice is deprived of any sense. - Alija Izetbegović (8.8.1925 - 19.10.2003) ⚜️🇧🇦☪️

An important video for European Muslims which is also beneficial for Muslims living outside of the continent. Please share this video with one another and enrich your knowledge of Islamic culture and history.

I have talked about this before, but I think it's worth repeating. There is a group of Western anti-imperialist leftists on Telegram and other social media who have been very vocal about the genocide in Gaza, as well as the war in Ukraine over the years. I believe that Muslims need to clarify a few things with them:

1. Gaza is not merely a humanitarian issue for us; it's a Muslim issue, and we are addressing it from that perspective.

2. You do not have the right to insult Muslim countries in the Middle East or to speak ill of our leaders or presidents, whether you are right or wrong. We criticize our leaders' actions because they are our leaders; a Westerner across the Atlantic does not have that right. Learn some respect.

3. We do not care about NATO, nor do we care about Ukraine. We understand that these Western countries acted like savages in North Africa and the Middle East before NATO even existed, and we know they would act the same way without NATO, because they are savages.

4. We are not close allies; you are merely moral tourists.

Feedback is welcome.

How it feels to be called a terrorist sympathizer these days 🗿

The Siege of Bihać (then under Habsburg rule) in 1592 by the Ottoman provincial army led by Gazi Hasan-Paša Predojević.

Non-Controversial opinion🗿:
Mobile phones and the internet have proven to be effective weapons for oppressed people around the world. Therefore, they will be the first ones targeted by criminal regimes that seek to violate human rights, such as the United States.

"IBRAHIM BILČEVIĆ - Šehidi il' gazije (without music)"
Šehid il Gazije is a Bosnian Qasidah that honors martyrs (šehidi) and warriors (gazije) who died in defense of their faith, homeland, or community. The term šehid refers to someone who has died as a martyr, typically in the context of religious or national struggle, while gazija refers to a warrior, often one who has fought valiantly for a righteous cause. The qasidah reflects themes of sacrifice, bravery, and the promise of reward in the afterlife for those who have given their lives in such causes.

I think we all know why she really took her life away... 🚁

I want to post a video about Bosnia right now but my internet and telegram are being schizophrenic.🌚
I feel like throwing my phone against the wall even though it's innocent in this matter.

One criticism of highly nationalistic societies, often put forward by Muslims but which I believe is inaccurate, is that the fundamental issue with nationalism is that it constitutes idolatry of the flag. This, however, is not a realistic criticism, and you can easily disprove it by asking yourself: when have you ever seen someone openly prostrate themselves before a country's flag, claiming to worship a government or a leader and that their morality is entirely suspended by their tribalism? Such specific terminology implies that an idol is something one worships, and that's what this criticism suggests.

A much more reasonable, reality-based criticism is that nationalistic societies are often predictable, easily exploitable, and can be manipulated by more powerful, non-Muslim (Kufar) societies. There's a reason why the most chauvinistic, nationalistic societies in Europe and other continents are also the most economically exploited and downtrodden. It is no coincidence that the rise of nationalist movements in Western Europe correlates with a decline in living standards.

As Muslims, it is our duty to care for the society we live in, to strive for it to be harmonious, prosperous, and just. A truly Islamic country is not a predictable society; it is pragmatic and unpredictable to its enemies, and it doesn't allow itself to be drawn into tribalistic wars and conflicts that ultimately benefit its enemies. If you don't believe you live in a predatory world, just look around.

On this day, October 22, 1992, the knights of the 107th Vmtbr. and attached units of the 2nd Corps, through superhuman sacrifice, stopped an armored train, a steel giant equipped with anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, mortars, missiles, communication equipment, medical supplies, food, and a large amount of ammunition. In doing so, they thwarted the plans of the Serbo-Chetnik aggressor to enslave the gate of Bosnia.
