You know, you can actually think of the Federal Reserve and global Central Bank interest rate hikes as a kind of equivalent to a sanctions regime. Sanctions largely impact the general population, and interest rate hikes do too. Everyone knows that about sanctions, the idea being, if you increase the pain for the public, maybe they will rise up against the ruler you want deposed; and they will certainly understand that interest rate hikes risk the same outcome. Except, because sanctions are imposed from outside, the public response is usually to rally around the leader whom they see as being unfairly besieged; when you basically impose sanctions n your own population, the risk of unrest is much greater. So, we should expect to see stricter controls on assembly, protest, and freedom of expression across the West.

It is important to recognize that the religion of this new empire is neither Christianity nor Judaism. The religion of the Taghut is closer to that of Fir'aun and Nimrud and the self-anointed god-emperors of ancient times.
They obligate their subjects to pay homage to them, to seek refuge in them, to appeal to them, to serve them, to imitate them, to place their hope in them, to fear them, to love them, to admire and praise them, to do nothing short of worship them.
They regard themselves as the source of law, the source of provision, the source of security, the givers of life and death. They believe that everything in the sky and the earth belongs to them, and none has a right to any of this except by their permission.
They regard the people as inherently inferior and deficient, and that we can only achieve any degree of goodness through complete immersion in their worship. To dress, eat, drink, work, rest, talk, and live exactly as they dictate.
They want us to replace our familial, cultural, national and religious affiliations with consumer loyalty to their companies and product lines; to devalue our own heritage, lineage and identities in deference to their logos and brand names.
This is essentially derived from the contempt Iblees, who is their master, has for Mankind. This is their Deen, the Deen of their empire, and it is what they are trying to impose upon us.
Allah is enough as a Protector

From Facebook, Feb 3, 2015:
Everyone must understand that it is their duty as citizens, as human beings, to sacrifice everything; their rights, their freedom, their health, their safety, their aspirations, their futures and the futures of their children; to help corporations achieve their profit goals and ensure that shareholders receive bigger dividends every year. That is the definition of "the greater good" in the neoliberal universe.
If you suffer, if your family suffers, you can at least be consoled by knowing that your suffering is for the sake of the super rich, and you are therefore, a good and responsible member of society.
If you are so astray and misguided that you value your Deen, value your rights, value your freedom, value justice, value the health and welfare of the society, and value building a positive future for your children, more than you value the necessity of increasing corporate profits; and if you believe that the blood,honor and property of the Muslims is more sacred than shareholder dividends, then, of course, you are a deviant in the neoliberal universe.

Apparently it is now the one-year anniversary of this YouTube channel, everyone. We began as “Qawwamun”, dealing primarily with debunking the Red Pill rubbish, and discussing the roles and relationships of men and women in an Islamic context, before moving on (thankfully) to more significant and substantive issues with the “Middle Nation”.
For those of you who have been with me since the beginning, I appreciate your support, encouragement, and the high-quality interaction you have brought to the comments section. I am particularly grateful for the great conversations we have had over the past several months in our Telegram discussion group.
For those of you who are newer to the channel, thank you for your interest, and I hope you find the content useful and always will.
You may have noticed that most of my recent videos have been in vertical format, and that is because – to my indescribable surprise – I have found traction on Tiktok, and have been able to reach a ludicrously wider audience on that platform. I never expected that of Tiktok, to be honest…I mean, I don’t even dance. But it is an evolving platform, and is designed to increase exposure for one’s content to new viewers more effectively than YouTube. It is also much convenient for me to use.
I will still make traditional YouTube-style videos, but less often; and I will try to keep up with the podcasts, insha’Allah.
Jazakum Allahu Khayran everyone, again, I am very grateful for your support.

Anyone can research the financials of UK registered businesses and business owners on the Companies House website. According to filings listed there, Imran Ahmed Khan (A.K.A. Dawah Man), has 3 registered companies. His most successful business is his matrimonial service which, as of the latest filing, boasts net assets of £733. He has a company called I & A Trading, which was under compulsory dissolution proceedings until recently, when proceedings were discontinued, presumably because overdue payments were made. Then his company Dawah Brothers, as of the latest filing, has total assets of £14,247 but liabilities of £57,996; meaning it is nearly £34,000 in debt.
He launched a GoFundMe campaign at the start of 2021 for the stated purpose of paying for a new studio, with the original goal of raising £5,000. He has, however, raised £41.5k from that campaign so far. Now, he stated in a video last month that the studio is already functioning, and that he has produced a year’s worth of content in that studio; yet the GoFundMe campaign remains active.
Imran has uploaded videos of himself and his team driving around Dubai in Bentleys and Lamborghinis, shopping, splashing around in speedboats, and generally living the life of the rich and famous in the Emirates, to promote the Badr Club. He is promising young men that he can teach them how to earn 6 figure incomes and achieve the very lifestyle portrayed in the Badr Club marketing clips.
From the 3 businesses he has, according to the filings, only one of them is in profit – the matrimonial service, with assets less than £1,000. He is tens of thousands of pounds in debt, and his only apparent profitable endeavour is the ongoing GoFundMe campaign.
Where he got the money to pay for the high life in Dubai, while asking for charity and carrying unpaid debts, is unclear. His creditors and donors might be interested in knowing.
Imran’s financial situation appears to be about to improve considerably, however, as he will likely rake in roughly £100,000 from Badr Club membership fees, regurgitating Red Pill theory and the Prosperity Doctrine during the worst economic crisis the world has seen since the 1930s.
Let me be clear; I want Muslims to have money. I want us to be prosperous. I think Islamic projects – particularly Da’awah projects -- should be funded as much as possible through profitable enterprises and not through charitable donations. If you want to launch a GoFundMe campaign to finance startup costs for a business, that’s fine…but say so. If you want to collect charity for your personal Islamic work, fine…but that should be only because you cannot afford to fund it yourself. I do not think it is acceptable to be a recipient of charity when you are rich, and I don’t think it is acceptable to pretend to be rich when you are a recipient of charity, in debt, and have no functioning business.

The death of the Queen of England is remarkable insofar as I cannot think of any revered, if ceremonial head of state, whose death is of less practical relevance.

There were roughly 230-250 wars in the history of Islam between 632 and the year 2000 – that’s over 13 centuries.
If you remove the defensive wars to repel the Crusaders, and Mongol invasions, there will be fewer than 200. If you further remove the civil wars, internal rebellions, anti-colonialist wars, the modern wars against invasion and aggression, as well as battles between Muslims, you are left with perhaps 150 military conflicts in 1,368 years.
Compare this with the United States of America, which carried out 251 military interventions in just the past 30 years alone. Remind me again, which civilization is more prone to violence and war?

It seems to me that a significant proportion of the discourse on masculinity is cognitive dissonance.
It is a bit like people like Haqiqatjou or someone like Tate, in their view of Islam...they basically embrace the stereotypes promoted by people who hate Islam and Muslims. And the discourse on masculinity sort of does this with the stereotypes about men. Like, "yeah, we are brutes, dominant, aggressive, with shallow motivations, driven by money and sex, so what?"
And this is radically contradictory to reality.
You cannot have read any amount of literature, been exposed to art, or (sorry) listened to much variety of music in your life, seen sublime works of architecture, read any poetry, or, frankly, lived very much at all, and think that men are in any degree whatsoever less sensitive, less nuanced in their emotions and understanding of emotions, less moved by the human condition, less feeling, less compassionate, or less appreciative of beauty or love or tenderness, than women
Both radical feminists and red pill nutjobs criminally underestimate men and dishonour them
When they talk about men, I have no idea what creature they are discussing. It is a fictitious creature
It is not Shakespeare, it is not Dickens, James Baldwin, Dostoyevsky, Capote; it is not Mozart, Beethoven, or the thousands upon thousands of composers, poets, artists, writers, singers, and musicians who have created the most touching and poignant, painful, joyful, and insightful works of art across time; nor the literally billions of men who are moved to tears by that art, from the most sophisticated aficionado to the hillbilly in Appalachia to the Indonesian fisherman, who all experience, feel, and carry as deep a set of complex emotions as the artists whose work they appreciate.

Here and there I have seen comments by Muslims in the West (mostly) expressing happiness about the selection of Anwar Ibrahim as the new prime minister of Malaysia. To them, I assume, he is something of an icon: a righteous Muslim political leader who suffered persecution and wrongful imprisonment for over a decade due to the diabolical scheming of secularist politicians who did not want to see Malaysia becoming more Islamic. This was more or less the narrative 20 years ago, and most Muslims in the West don’t know any better. Anwar is a Mandela-esque figure in their imagination.
It might surprise them to know that religious, conservative Muslims in Malaysia, overwhelmingly, do not support Anwar Ibrahim. They did not vote for him. They do not want him. His political party is not the Islamic party in Malaysia; it sits at the opposite end of that spectrum. Malaysian Muslims reject Anwar not simply because of his sodomy case (which was never disproven, and which has been followed by other sodomy accusations), but because he is openly pro-Western, pro-IMF, has a long-standing connection with the National Endowment for Democracy in the US, which is recognized as a CIA operation for advancing American economic interests abroad, and because he is fundamentally aligned with Western and global elites and the likes of the World Economic Forum. Anwar Ibrahim is a liberal, and devout Muslims expect him to move Malaysia down the liberal path, including the normalization of LGBT. This may or may not be the way Anwar ultimately governs, but that is the perception and expectation of religious Muslims in the country.
Anwar Ibrahim is the prime minister that the US has always wanted in Malaysia, and this, frankly, is precisely why so many Western Muslims have an inaccurate view of him – because they are fed the propaganda churned out about him by non-Muslims and non-Malaysians which casts him as an entirely different entity than he actually is.
Nevertheless, he is now prime minister, and we pray for Allah to Guide him for at least as long as he successfully retains that position.
