Khaled Diab’s tweet nothings

Haters accuse me of being woke. This is untrue because I get my best insights into the human condition when I'm asleep. When this happens I sometimes wake up, but battle to go back to sleep again. If I fail, I'm awake but not exactly woke - more like drowsy and bleary-eyed.

The end of the road for cars? Car-free Sundays are hint of what's possible when cars are banished from cities and people can reclaim the roads. The flyover we walked across is slated to be decommissioned as a road and transformed into a community space. instagram.com/p/CUA1IDysmrH/…

@DebarreMaxime And what exactly is French culture and what about it excludes the name Mohamed? And what should happen to people called Jacques or Jacqueline who don't fit Eric Zemmour's idea of Frenchness?

Eric is also not a French name. It is Norse. In fact, most French first names are not French in origin. They are Latin, Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, etc. twitter.com/DebarreMaxime/…

A possible presidential hopeful in France pledges to ban the name Mohamed because it is not French. The man's name is Eric Zemmour. Funnily enough, Zemmour is not a French name either, it is Algerian. Should he ban his own name too? moroccoworldnews.com/2021/09/…

The US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban takeover of the country has reignited talk of a "clash of civilisations". In this excerpt from 'Islam for the Politically Incorrect', I show how history tells a very different story to political polemics. arsnotoria.com/2021/09/17/afg…

@dubikan It's about both. Maintaining a (healthy) scepticism about those in power does not mean one should believe in every harebrained alternative theory. True, it is easier, and perhaps more comforting, for some to believe that a greater power is in control than in messy randomness.

This essay's about a topic that's close to my heart. While the primary focus is Islam, it applies to other religions, too. Having been raised Christian, I know what it means to question religion, and the price one pays. @DiabolicalIdea writes|@newlinesmag newlinesmag.com/first-person/…
