Why US Muslims are Abandoning Harris with Sami Hamdi | The Thinking Muslim

>The ongoing slaughter in Gaza and now the carpet bombing of Lebanon has at its backdrop the US elections. Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have clearly stated their intentions to back Israel, and it is hard sometimes to place a cigarette paper between them. Some have sought to characterise Harris as a better candidate, suggesting she will be ready to restrain Israel, although with little evidence, and others have conceded her stance to be not dissimilar to Biden – but the other side, Trump, would be worse. They evoke the ‘lesser of the two evils’ argument to suggest that for Muslims, holding your nose and voting is better than not voting. >Not withstanding the fact that those using the lesser of the two evils argument previously asked American Muslims to vote for Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden – all of whom seem to compete with Shaytan on how much evil they could dispense. But the height of evilness has been the execution of this genocide, which has been on the watch of the Democrats. So how should American Muslims respond to the genocide. Should they abandon Harris? I am planning to visit the US very soon inshallah and will be meeting with American Muslim leaders and others as I attempt to piece together an answer to these crucial questions. But to begin the conversation, I have invited back onto the show Sami Hamdi to share his thoughts.

>**About this item** > >Safeguard your home with the powerful protection of Heimdall, guardian deity and protector of the hearth. Just as ancient people sought his blessing to shield their homes from enemies and wild beasts, you too can invoke his power to create a sanctuary of safety and security. > >This ritual goes beyond mere words; it weaves a potent energy field, an impenetrable barrier around your home. I utilize crystal talismans, possessing strength rivaling that of a diamond, to fortify your walls and enhance Heimdall's protective embrace. By combining Heimdall's might with the ancient energy of crystals, we create a powerful fusion, ensuring not only the safety of your property but also shielding it from any hardship. Imagine an unwavering guardian, deflecting all threats and dangers, ensuring your well-being and peace of mind at all times. > >This ritual also harnesses the unique properties of tiger's eye, red jasper, and carnelian, amplifying the protective barrier and infusing your home with additional beneficial energies. Tiger's eye is renowned for its ability to deflect negativity and enhance resilience, instilling confidence within you and your home. Red jasper, symbolizing strength and protection, creates an energetic shield, empowering you with the determination to overcome any challenge. Carnelian cultivates an atmosphere of comfort and safety, dispelling anxieties and attracting positive energies to ensure tranquility within your dwelling. > >In a world where security is paramount, this ritual addresses the need for reliable protection against potential dangers. It establishes a resilient shield, reflecting negativity and providing you with peace of mind and confidence. > >Allow me to forge this impenetrable shield around your home, protecting it from external threats and creating a sanctuary of peace and security. Don't miss this opportunity to secure the well-being of your home and yourself. 🛡️ > >Interested in experiencing the power of Scandinavian magic through a personalized ritual or reading? > >First, determine which ritual best suits your needs. Unsure where to begin? Share your situation and the challenges you're facing. I'm happy to help you choose the most effective ritual for your unique circumstances. A preliminary reading can also be performed to provide further clarity. > >Once you've chosen a ritual, please provide the full name, date of birth, and a photo of yourself (or the intended recipient if the ritual is for someone else). > >Then, patiently await the completion of your ritual. Scandinavian magic involves working with crystals, potions, and specialized incantations, so the process takes time. I will notify you via email once your ritual is complete. (Be sure to check your spam folder if you haven't received confirmation within a reasonable timeframe. If it's still missing, please don't hesitate to contact me.) > >Please remember, in accordance with Etsy policy, all readings and rituals are for entertainment purposes only.

corruption is loosely defined in capitalism, and comparisons with socialism are inherently unfair

cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/3444788 > TL;DR: actions that society considers morally reprehensible and "corrupt" when carried out by public institutions, are seen as normal and acceptable when it comes to private institutions, so traditional comparisons of "corruption" between capitalism and socialism put socialism at a disadvantage by definition. > > 1- Let us imagine that I'm a business owner, and I decide to carry out some renovations in my building. I decide that, since I have a reliable friend who owns a renovations company, I will simply carry out the renovation with their company. We sign a contract, the renovation is carried out, the work gets done, the other company gets paid. Nothing out of the norm here. > > Now let us imagine the case in which this first business, instead of being owned by me privately, is socialized and owned by the state: a public entity. Some renovations are necessary, so I, as a public administrator, decide to order the renovation to be carried out by a friend... except that's corruption! I need to organize an auction and order impartially from a variety of firms, by lowest expense and by highest level of satisfaction! What is normal and approved in capitalism, is unthinkable and in most instances illegal under the principles of public ownership! > > > 2- Another example: I'm a worker in a private company. One year, the CEO that is put in place by the stockholders, happens to be a former employer of mine, and because they know me and my performance, I get promoted. Meritocracy! Some people even call that "networking", which is a necessary social skill in capitalism and highly regarded in wealthy circles. > > Now let us imagine the case of a soviet workplace, in which I'm a worker with excellent performance. The union-approved party member in charge at this time, sees my performance and my contributions and involvement with the union and party, and decides to offer me a promotion. Oh, what a blatant case of dictatorial bureaucracies, in which only party members giving each other favours get to rise to the top! What an unfair and corrupt system! > > > Whenever we hear these claims of "corruption", "bureaucracy" and such from socialism, please make it a point to compare these events with similar instances in capitalism, and how normalized and approved by the social majority they are. Why do we only expect transparency, efficiency and impartiality from public institutions, but normalize the opposite behaviours in capitalist enterprises?

example: selecting "kelly" is a needless chore, because you have to sift through a bunch of kelly emojis to find the one named kelly. similar things happen with "slammer" and several others. the canonical name of an emoji should always have precedence over keywords in the picker
