[apenitentialprayer]

Would I be somewhat correct to say that, loosely, iirc, Sunni Islam is like Protestantism in its strict, “exclusive” monotheism (no saints, no extra devotions to Muhammad or asking others to pray for you, no holy sites for other individuals), and no hierarchy, whereas Shia is more like Catholicism - a hierarchy in the leadership of the divinely set 12 Imams, praying to saints, relics etc., going to holy pilgrimage sites and wells etc., also ritual mortification in memory of Husayn (like wearing cilices or hairshirts in Catholicism). I’ve encountered some Sunnis who also dismiss it all as crazy and not in the Qur’an, as “extra,” added on—similar to how Protestants say about us with praying to saints, sacramentals etc etc

Ah, I think that while the Sunni=Protestant / Shi'a=Catholic analogy can kind of work so long as it's understood not to be a one-to-one analogy and that it falls apart the second any nuance is applied to it, I still think it only applies to some of what you said and not to others.

Sunnism definitely does not have a hierarchy the same way that Shi'ism does, and Sunnis definitely don't believe that devotion to the 'Ahl al-Bayt (the family of Muhammad) is an essential duty in the way that Shi'is do, but there is significant overlap between most Sunnis and Shi'is in terms of the other things you mentioned.

Muslims of all kinds have a long history of relic- and saint-veneration, from (Sunni) Mehmed the Conqueror who supposedly had a tooth of Muhammad to Hazratbal, considered one of the holiest (pan-Muslim) shrines in India because it houses a hair from Muhammad's beard. There are also lots of stories about Muslim saints appearing to others in visions to initiate them into esoteric rites (Sufism, primarily a Sunni phenomenon), and many tombs of great scholars or mystics have had mosques built on top of them, often with their own traditional pilgrimage rites to go with them. Salim Chishti, for example, is a Sunni saint of the Chishtiyya order whose tomb is often visited by women seeking to become pregnant; they ask for his intercession by tying a little red ribbon around the fences of the shrine.

In the West, however, there are large strands of Islamic thought influenced by Muhammad al-Wahhab, himself deeply influenced by Ibn Taymiyyah; they both believed that much of what was then mainstream in Islam wasn't authentically Islamic, and so sought to combat religious innovation (bid'a in Arabic) by removing anything they believed could not be traced back to the Muslim community as it existed when Muhammad was still in living memory. While proponents of an Islam that does not have saints, does not engage in pilgrimages beside the Hajj and the Umrah, and does not have holidays besides Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are vocal, they are not the only Sunnism in existence.

What is the most dangerous foreign power to the US?

If you ask me which nation is the greatest threat to America, I will not say Russia, China or Iran.  We know that those nations do not wish us well.  Instead I will point to Saudi Arabian financed and directed 9/11.  The only proof necessary to demonstrate that the Kingdom has compromised American leadership is that instead of imposing the cost of 9/11 on the Saudis, their involvement in 9/11 was covered up.  Saudi election interference makes Russian election interference look laughable.  Saudi Arabia finances and/or controls an estimated 80% of US mosques.  It funds CAIR, the organization that claims to be an Islamic "civil rights organization," but is in fact, a front for terrorists.  The Saudis are attempting to brainwash America's college students by funding and controlling the many "Islamic studies" programs now at most of our largest universities.  Saudi propaganda efforts are not limited to college age students.  They also fund Islamic organizations that seek to insert, often very deceptive Islamic material into all K-12 classes, aided by their army of paid lobbyists, that include some the most powerful and strategically connected law and public relations firms in the U.S.,such as the Brownstein law firm in Denver and Washington, D.C.

The Saudis also conduct covert operations inside the US, many of which are efforts to smuggle Saudi citizens (most often Saudi students) charged with crimes (most often sexual in nature) out of the country, just as they smuggled Anwar al Awlaki, of whom an FBI agent declared was "at the heart of the 9/11 story," out of the US in 2002.  The link to the book is above.  Saudi oil is sold at Shell stations.  Let's boycott Shell as well as Citibank and Chase Bank both of which the Saudis have invested heavily and essentially control.

last reblog reminded me... was gonna make a long ass post about how wahhabi politics caused palestine to be viewed as only a muslim + arab issue with no care for non-arab & non-muslim palestinians, only for KSA (and other wahhabi countries in the gulf but KSA was the propganda's originator) to become muslim zionists & have the pan-arab nationalism/wahhabism movement forced on palestinians (see: hamas being equated to isis when they're literally enemies lol)

but i knew posting that would get pan-arab nationalist types upset and i didn't want to mire the palestinian cause as a non-black/gadjo/non-palestinian... tho, read about the khobar massacre in 2004 as tiny view into how gulf arabs painted the palestinian cause #backintheday

#so weird having grown up in That side of arabistan #only to see everyone forget how things used to be in a bid to eliminate islamophobia or wtv #only for wahhabism to be pushed on..... palestinians who were used up discarded & genocided #& you can see in videos of gazans how they're cursing arabs for abandoning them after All That #double danish #palestine

I ask this every month or two but what have you been reading lately?

•True West: Sam Shepard's Life, Work, and Times (BOOK | AUDIO | KINDLE) by Robert Greenfield

•The Oswalds: An Untold Account of Marina and Lee (BOOK | AUDIO | KINDLE) by Paul R. Gregory

•Wahhabism: The History of a Militant Islamic Movement (BOOK | KINDLE) by Cole M. Bunzel

•The Madman in the White House: Sigmund Freud, Ambassador Bullitt, and the Lost Psychobiography of Woodrow Wilson (BOOK | KINDLE) by Patrick Weil This is a really interesting new book about one of the more unique Presidential biographies ever written. William C. Bullitt was a longtime American diplomat and former supporter of Woodrow Wilson who blamed the failure of American ratification of the Treaty of Versailles following World War I on the worrisome personality changes he witnessed in President Wilson after Wilson suffered a stroke and serious health issues in the final years of his Presidency. Bullitt was close to Sigmund Freud and he teamed with Freud to write a psychological biography about Wilson several years after Wilson's death. The book they wrote (Thomas Woodrow Wilson: A Psychological Study) was very controversial and wasn't even published until nearly 30 years after Freud himself died. It's a really fascinating story and Weil's book -- as well as the original book by Bullitt and Freud -- reveal the potential dangers behind Presidential disability.

•The World: A Family History of Humanity (BOOK | AUDIO | KINDLE) by Simon Sebag Montefiore

•Knowing What We Know: The Transmission of Knowledge from Ancient Wisdom to Modern Magic (BOOK | AUDIO | KINDLE) by Simon Winchester I try to read every book that Simon Winchester writes. It seems like he's written books about basically every subject under the sun, and I can't think of a single one that I didn't find interesting.

•The Sergeant: The Incredible Life of Nicholas Said: Son of an African General, Slave of the Ottomans, Free Man Under the Tsars, Hero of the Union Army (BOOK | KINDLE) by Dean Calbreath The subtitle of this book alone makes it pretty clear that this is one hell of a story about a man who lived quite a life.

al-Imam Mufti Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad bin 'Abdil-Wahhab (رَحِمَهُ الله) said:

"If Islam will be returning to how it began (as something strange with small number of followers), then how ignorant is he who cites a large number of people as evidence (for those upon the truth)!"

The Stealth Saudi Arabian Takeover of America

One of the most shameful episodes in American history has been the cover-up of Saudi Arabian involvement in 9/11.  A Saudi diplomat-spy and former Imam and Saudi employee took two of the hijackers who did not speak English under their wings.  The Saudi Ambassador's wife transferred money directly to hijackers.  It seems like the idea was to create "plausible deniability" and throw the Ambassador's wife under the bus if needed.  Saudi intentions towards.  America have only changed tactically since 9/11.  Worst of all because Saudi money has been able to hire highly connected US lobbyists, who happily deny justice for the 9/11 families to excusing Saudi atrocities in Yemen.  Law enforcement officials have generally agreed that 80% of US mosques follow the Saudi version of Islam, Wahhabism.
