[Book Review] Post-Modernity, Paganism, and Islam

Book review: Post-Modernity, Paganism, and Islam by Jalalul Haq (Minerva Press, 1999) There is a certain narrative that exists within the Islamic community which asserts that we should try and avoid discussing philosophical issues. The underlying rationale behind this assertion is one that is not without merit. The argument is that pseudo-philosophical complexities can end […]

Jews and Revolution: A Balanced Perspective

Among the plethora of antisemitic myths that pervade the public discourse in many continents, there is a common stereotype of Jews being “revolutionaries” who are always eager to bring down the national or even international establishment in order to advance their specific identitarian objectives. The Bolshevik Revolution… Not All Jews? Typically, this perception is associated […]

Smart City Projects in the Middle East Will Pave the Way for Greater Israel

Recently, the Muslim ummah has been overjoyed alongside the Palestinians following the long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza. However, with the new, extremely pro-Israeli Trump administration in power, it doesn’t seem as though this ceasefire will last very long. As such, the Muslim ummah must immediately, lest we become lax and let Israel catch us off guard, […]

Analyzing the Claim That “50% of Iranians Are Atheists”

There’s a certain video that has started to go viral, especially among the Hindu nationalist circles of India. In the video, a Pakistani Muslim tourist visiting Iran states that 50% of the Iranian people are atheists. To begin with, this phenomenon seems to be specific to Tehran, the country’s capital city. As you are probably […]

The Ghetto Life: How “Jewishness” Has Historically Enforced Segregation

Among the most popular Islamophobic talking points, one that tends to pop up quite frequently is the idea that Islamic empires and authorities of the past would enforce certain specific dress codes for minorities, including Jews. This would effectively thus predate similar such measures of this nature generally associated with medieval Catholic Europe (the Jewish […]

The End of Encryption? How Quantum Computing Redefines AI, Technology, and Global Power

At the advent of the AI revolution, unofficially marked around the time Open AI launched its now infamous ChatGPT, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai had compared the invention of AI to the discovery of fire or electricity. Well, not even two years have passed since then and we already have the next competitor lined up, one […]

Addressing the “Grooming Gangs” Propaganda Narrative

This is a guest post by Abdullah Noorudeen from Coolness of Hind. In an age where right-wing, often racially-charged rhetoric is algorithmically amplified by Elon Musk’s vision of Zionist-inflected, right-wing free speech, the “grooming gangs” demonisation, which seeks to tie sexual crimes to Islam and “Pakistani culture”, has gained further traction over the past few […]

The Vlogger Who Shattered Decades of Anti-Afghanistan Propaganda

In quite the unexpected change of events, Muslim countries that are always deceptively smeared in the mainstream Western media—like Pakistan and Afghanistan—as unsafe and culturally backwards terrorist havens are now starting to receive the honest attention that they truly deserve. Surprisingly enough, this recent development has been brought about at the hands of independent travel vloggers, […]

Child “Grooming” and Sexual Abuse: A British White Export?

This is a guest post by Abdullah Noorudeen from Coolness of Hind. This article was initially compiled as an ‘X’ thread to expose the fallacy of the culturalist argument that Pakistanis, due to their culture, specifically target white girls for abuse. The ‘X’ thread can be viewed here. Let’s talk about child sex tourism, where white British […]

Buddhist Philosophy: Does Buddhism Lead to Nihilism?

As we have mentioned quite a few times now, Buddhism seems to be way off the radar for the secular world. This is because it doesn’t pose any threat to it whatsoever. It posits no religious perspective on essential matters such as politics, economics, and, more generally, not even a worldview. It is seen as […]

What Do the Qur’an and Hadith Say About Judaism?

Disclaimer The purpose of this article is not to vilify Jews as a people but, rather, to provide an understanding of how they are addressed in the Qur’an and Sunnah, in light of their historical relationship with Islam.

The Deviant Ideology of Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab

The modern Salafi movement is heterogeneous. It is shaped arguably by mainly three key figures: Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Imam Ibn Taymiyya, and Muhammad Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792). As I have said before, the Salafi movement overall has many great qualities and should be appreciated for preserving Islamic values in the face of modernism and […]

Debunking Elon Musk’s Grooming Gangs Hoax

If you have a habit of keeping up to date with what’s happening on X (formerly Twitter), you may have noticed, these last few days, how Elon Musk has been boosting certain posts related to “Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs.” He has also been explicitly lending his support to Tommy Robinson, who is perhaps the UK’s most […]

Douglas Murray, Neoconservativism, and the Culture of Child Sexual Abuse

This is a guest post by Abdullah Noorudeen from Coolness of Hind. At the time of writing, outrage surrounding the topic of child sexual abuse in the UK, sensationalised as “grooming gangs”, is being manufactured and stoked by a cabal of Zionists, chief amongst them, billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Ackman. The anti-Muslim propaganda consists of a […]

From Atheism to Technological Polytheism: Ancient Advanced Alien Civilizations

Atheism, in a desperate bid to remain relevant, is gradually rebranding itself with a new belief system, one that is replete with its very own “mythological lore.” You see, believing in abiogenesis just isn’t sufficient for atheists anymore. For the existence of all life on Earth to hinge on a completely unknown origin which is […]
