Guys I Actually Beg Of You To Not Let Palestine Become An Unpleasant Flashback, A Transient Tumblr Trend,

guys i actually beg of you to not let palestine become an unpleasant flashback, a transient tumblr trend, a hasbeen subject that just faded away. as an arab—and specifically iraqi—girl, i know what it feels like to have family displaced all over the world as a result of western imperialism. i know what it feels like to not be able to step foot into your homeland because it’s no longer safe. as an american iraqi, raised in the us and insulated from my roots, it wasn’t until last summer that i was able to visit iraq for the first time, and even then my family was worried for my safety—in my own blood country. although nothing like what palestinians are experiencing right now, it might be the tiniest semblance of what it feels like to watch your country disintegrate in front of you.

and this is a universal arab experience. i volunteer weekly at a refugee center that serves middle eastern refugees, and every day i see the longing in their eyes when they speak of where they hail from. it’s safe to say that we will be getting a wave of palestinian refugees very soon: just another generation of arabs who can’t inhabit their own country.

arab culture is so rich, so profound, so beautiful. i am tired of being told by the world—through literal genocide—that it doesn’t mean anything. please never let this be forgotten. free palestine. free palestine. free palestine.

All right. I'm snapping.

To everyone who's saying shit like this, read the post below.

All Right. I'm Snapping.
All Right. I'm Snapping.

ONE DAY. JUST FOR ONCE. THINK BEYOND YOURSELF.

TO ALL THOSE CRYING ABOUT HINDUPHOBIA RIGHT NOW, ABOUT HOW NO ONE SPEAKS UP FOR YOU, THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE WHEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WANTED TO HAVE A PATENT ON TURMERIC. THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE WHEN SOMETHING LIKE YOGA WAS FETISHIZED COMMERCIALIZED AND SOLD TO FOREIGNERS BY OUR OWN PEOPLE. THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE WHEN ISRAEL INSULTED HINDUS BY CALLING YOU "idolaters" and "cow piss drinkers"

Thik hai.

Woh to Chhodo.

Where were you ten years ago?

Did you even talk about this before 2014, or like. Did something happen after that? Like. Are you getting what I'm saying here?

Thik hai.

Woh BHI chhodo.

The hindus who are truly oppressed today are the ones who aren't from a dominant caste. Are you really speaking up for the oppressed castes, working to end casteism in society? Or do you close your eyes to that?

Thik hai.

woh jara side mein rakhte hai.

Ask yourself, do you really care about hindus, or do you just want to drag others down and drag attention away from this issue? Do you really feel that hindus are oppressed, or do you just want attention? Oh you poor baby.

Arre bhai, sawaal jara kathin tha kya?

Thik hai.

Woh bhi chhodo.

DO YOU NOT HAVE AN OUNCE OF HUMANITY IN YOU? IMAGINE IF your loved one died, but you had to film them to make the world even think about you as humans. Imagine that the world is putting on a show to make everyone forget about you. And if someone told you that you had a chance to fight back, wouldn't you?

I'm sure y'all understand, since you are also "victims of a genocide" according to you, right? RIGHT??

Think before you post. "Why am I doing this?

The fact that I am thinking about wearing Niqab from now onwards but was confused about whether I should do it or not and then came across this

You Will Not Find A Single Hadith, Even A Weak One, Describing How Aisha رضي الله عنها Looked.

You will not find a single Hadith, even a weak one, describing how Aisha رضي الله عنها looked.

This is how careful the Sahabah and Muslims were, about letting someone even imagine what their women looked like.

And now, men post pictures of their own wives and daughters. Or women post themselves online to thousands of strangers. How far we have strayed...

"If the Sahabiyat wore Niqab in an era when modesty and chastity were exceedingly high, why neglect it in times of blazing fitnah today."

کرو کج جبیں پہ سر کفن مرے قاتلوں کو گماں نہ ہو

کہ غرورِ عشق کا بانکپن پسِ مرگ ہم نے بھلا دیا

~فیض احمد فیض

HOW CAN SOMEONE EVEN COME UP WITH SOMETHING THIS GENIUS. A STRAIGHT PUNCH TO THE GUT.

کرو کج جبیں پہ سر کفن مرے قاتلوں کو گماں نہ ہو
