One of the weirdest things about contemporary liberal so-called democracies is all the moralising one has to put up with when criminal political decisions are justified. War, migration, campus repression, you name it. As if they think we're all idiots, who can't spot propaganda.
BREAKING| Israel's army kills the eldest daughter of professor Refat Al Areer, Shaima'a, along with her husband and newborn baby, in a strike on an apartment in Al Rimal neighbourhood in Gaza.
have also come across accounts of preceding generations of my family traveling from Mitrovica to Thessaloniki in the late 20s and early 30s for trade and leisure. In one of these accounts, Thessaloniki was described as a fascinating city paved with marble :)

They are still bombing a starving population, hundreds of whom have been found in mass graves. Where is the world?
a favorite and interesting term relating to this is also the term used to refer to 'halal' or 'islamic', 清真 with 清 meaning "clear, pure" and 真 meaning "really, truly", so when saying for example 清真膳食, it literally means 'really pure meal'

A favourite sunnah is Tahiyyat Al-Masjid or the salah for greeting the mosque. Always a wholehearted experience but particularly so when greeting a new mosque that you have never been to, especially in a foreign country. Prostration and gratitude just as you enter.
The beautiful Putra Mosque also known as the Pink Mosque due to the rose tinted granite used for its construction ✨
Leximi për bajram “S’osht për to bairam qi bakllaven’ e pat, Por për to qi shkon me iman droe s’pat. Me ni myhalefet njeri mun rrxohet, Sa me nji mij taate sun çohet… Prej hallallit pa bâ masraf veshish e mas, Ai deregjet mongi ka kur s’osht me mas.”
I think what struck me most about this video - if you get to the end - is how relived I was to see children of Gaza alive and smiling. Alive.

#WednesdayStories The first railway to Kosovo was built by an Ottoman company in 1873, which connected Thessaloniki with Mitrovica. The railway network was then expanded by an Anglo-French company between 1931-1936, the years when the train station in Pristina was also built.
