Is what we see in Bolivia a coup or a legitimate grievance against Morales? He was a pretty left-wing leader, but then he did extend his term in power by ignoring a referendum that rejected a president staying beyond two terms. However, I've been reading statistics about how much Bolivia has improved economically, so I'm wondering if the recent elections were actually fraudulent or they were legitimate? If they were legitimate, then the term limits don't matter because he was still voted in despite rejecting the referendum. What do you guys think? @hasanhh @Sumerian

I heard reports from several news outlets yesterday that there is alot of fear and anxiety in Iran over a potential US attack and that one may be imminent. I am asking brothers and sisters in Iran to not be so concerned with this. I am not saying it is impossible but it is highly unlikely. Here is why 1. As many of you know, the government of the IRI is being extremely cautious at this point, and they should be, given the current situation. I don't see this changing anytime soon. This is the wise course at this time. The US needs at least some support from other nations (like United Kingdom, Germany, etc), at least its European allies in order to attack. This i…

So the latest in the French Charlie Hebdo saga is that a school teacher decided to show an insulting picture of the Prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).) in class, but did ask Muslim pupils to leave if they wanted to. Parents complained and a recent Chechen emigre came round a few days later and chopped off the teacher's head. He had an airgun so the police shot the killler dead. The French are obviously upset. So now we have this. The president of the conference of Imams says that people in mosques should pray for the teacher. Which is a bit weird. If the teacher believed that the Prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).) was beneath his own right to f…

This is the full clip from Trump's recent Phoenix speech. The Republican party is pretty good at throwing up some real fruitcakes, remember Sarah Palin? But Trump comes across as savvy. He's taken a hit for his anti-immigration/anti-Mexican stance, so he brings up an African-American dude whose lost a son to an illegal immigrant criminal. Neat. He's against Obamacare but he leavens that by emphasising that they need to help everyone, even if it angers Republicans. What I can't understand is that if he's candidature fails what will be the knock-on effect on his businesses, because he'll have upset a lot of businesspeople along the way. He pulls no punc…

How is Grand Ayatollah Hussein-Ali Montazeri seen by Iranians a decade after his death? Is he seen in a positive light or negative light based on his opinions about the Iranian Goverment? I don't want a debate on if He was right or wrong. Just what you think is the general opinion.

Since we do not have a thread devoted to Biden news, this BBC report indicates one needs to be started. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53575883 Joe wants to spend 10s of $Billions to address "inequalities." Comment: of course Biden doesn't say that the basic reason for such "inequalities" in the inner cities is because the Demoncrat/NEA run skools are cwap. Neither does Biden mention that our National Debt is $25 Trillion. Speculation is that commie Camilla Harris is his likely running-mate.

Pakistanis living in Pakistan tend to have a very difficult time hearing about sectarian issues within Pakistan. This is understandable, as white Americans have a hard time accepting they live in a prejudiced country as well. Anyway, not even my own parents believe me when I tell them that "Muslims" in Pakistan hate Shias and want them exterminated. These rallies, death threats, pelting of stones at imam bargas is nothing new. We just have social media to document it now. Pakistan has failed its minorities because of the fundamental nature of its government: Democracy is punitive and oppressive, however, due to Pakistan being a cousin of British colonialism (India), …

The ongoing clash between the Nigeria Army and the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, popularly known as the Shi’ite movement, took a more dangerous dimension as soldiers yesterday raided the residence of the Shi’ite leader, Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and arrested him.

We know from history that shias never got chance or if got couldn't run government for pretty long time.Why Shias couldn't maintain and run their government for long time. Was it because Shias didn't give due importance and seriousness needed for it. Or for them running a government according to their view's isnot important .

Salam aleykoum, I was curious to ask a polemical questions about Afghanistan and that would be in particular interresting to see the point of view of afghans. If one day we talibans take power again in afghanistan or at least a big part of afghan territory (in particular pashtun areas) do you think Afghanistan could split in different territories or some territories could secede from afghanistan and joined other countries ? Like for exemple uzbek territories join uzbekistan and hazara and tajik territories join Iran and so on. Because after all afghanistan is a multi-etnic and unstable country so i think that would be probable scenario. What is your opinion…

In the decades long stand-off between US and IRI, critics of Yankee imperialism cite the origins, not to the Embassy hostage crisis not long after the 79 revolution, but justifiably point to the CIA backed coup against populist prime minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953. Seldomly discussed is the alleged CIA links and involvement that the pre-revolutionary clergy had in the coup. Namely Ayatullah Khomeini's predecessor, Ayatullah Kashani. Which appears to be well-documented: https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/06/20/64-years-later-cia-finally-releases-details-of-iranian-coup-Iran-Tehran-oil/ https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/Iran/2018-03-07/new-…

Salam aleykum, With people burning the holy Quran in the name of freedom of speech, with people making insulting cartoons of Rasulullah(S) in the name of freedom of speech, with people losing their livelihood for expressing the Islamic view on LGBTQ+++++ subjects even though they have "freedom" of speech, with people being unable to criticize the regime of israhell due it automatically being labeled as anti semitism, even though they have "freedom of speech" - I think its important to ask: Whos freedom of speech is the western world talking about?

The court in Baden-Württemburg ruled that those declining to partake of handshakes due to a “fundamentalist conception of culture and values” because they view women as “a danger of sexual temptation” were rejecting “integration into German living conditions....” However they want to spin it, the simple fact is that there is no religious freedom in Germany.

Salam Aleikom, I recently made a video on Iran and North Korea's friendship and how it began. Feedback is greatly appreciated. You can check out the video by clicking on the thumbnail below or clicking here. How Iran and North Korea became the best of friends in an age of imperialism, and challenged the world. What are the origins of this strange relationship and how does it endure? This vlog is about how Iran and North Korea became the best of friends in an age of imperialism. Information on Iran and North Korea is pretty hard to come by. And there's a reason for that. Both of these countries were born out of revolution and war. They in…

Salam everyone. I remember back in the 2012-2014 era of Shiachat, I use to read a lot of posters from Pakistan saying "India and Pakistan should've never separated. Pakistan was a mistake." With everything that is going on in India. Do you still believe your statement and stand by it If so, what are your justifications for such a stance with the rise of prejudice and Hindu extremism?

Don't lie or hide behind your words. You can't take them back. You specifically referred to Brown people when you made that distasteful post above referring to us as misogynists. Evidence: "I think what the brother is trying to say is that there are alot of brothers on the site who throw up their hands and say 'I cannot find a wife'. What they are saying is true, but here is their definition of 'wife'" -> A lot of brothers on this site are ethnic men. "(because most muslims men don't care about this compared to the other" -> The "most Muslim men" you referred to and painted in this light are Ethnic Brown men as well based on your later explainations where you boasted about integrating with South Asians/Middle Easterns so well. That is your view of them and me. You described your statement as: "This is my experience. It is generalization. It might be false, I don't know" -> That's what all stereotypes/racial statements are. "That is highly offensive" -> Yes, your racism is very offensive. "It has nothing to do with your 'interpretation' that you stated above" -> My interpretation? The evidence is all in your words and posts. And here I thought racism wasn't allowed on SC unless Abu Hadi does it? It doesn't matter that you didn't explicitly say Brown people but everything you said applied to them above based on your stereotypes about them. Based on your descriptions involving "villages" and "regions". Based on your later explaination where you were telling me how well you know the South asian community/ME community as a whole. Why deny it?

There are other verses in Surah 5 that are favorable to Christians: 82. Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. 83. And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger (Muhammad), thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses. 84. "What cause can we have not to believe in Allah and the truth which has come to us, seeing that we long for our Lord to admit us to the company of the righteous?" 85. And for this their prayer hath Allah rewarded them with gardens, with rivers flowing underneath, - their eternal home. Such is the recompense of those who do good. 86. But those who reject Faith and believe not our Signs, - they shall be companions of Hell-fire. -

I would continue to worship God since in the first place, we are imaging that he (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is going to grant us Immortality. The one who can grant can take it back as well. Plus without hardships, I might deviate, but will continue to believe in God (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) Everyone can't be in paradise technically because people in the case mentioned in question, would feel more free to oppress others and they shouldn't get away with that. Thats against Adl of God and humanity right?
