How to Cheat an Election

Adam Kinzinger @RepAdamKinzinger on Trump's Lies

President Joe Biden is a true believer in America, but we need a younger candidate

 President 

@JoeBiden

 is a great, a humble true lover of the U.S and an adherent to its institutions, however, when we call for a reconsideration for his nomination for a second term, we aren't denying his great achievements for the American people but rather refocusing our attention to the fact that the 2024 elections are so important that we cannot afford losing to a Maniac like 

@realDonaldTrump

 who is as clear as daylight that he will make himself an absolutist in Putin's or NK Kim's style where there is no freedom of speech has any place, and where the Legal System works for the dictator and his thugs. The majority of the American people have shown in polls after polls that they'd rather vote for a younger candidate. Let's assume that 

@KamalaHarris

 was the front runner with her youth and energy, and the fact that she could be the lady the American people were waiting for for a long time. President Biden did his great job since 2020 and I think that it is possible that the president is going through some health issues and he's worried about his son who could go to prison for a long time, which is again an evidence that the Republicans with Trump were lying when they accused President Biden of using the Justice Department to go after his his opponents. Republicans are obviously working on subverting the American Democratic System, and that's clear not just through the actions of the 

@GOP

 Senators and Representatives, but even though the Conservative Justices on the SCOTUS who are trying their utmost to establish a dictator with Full Immunity, probably more than a monarch ruling in God's name! I think that the President should rethink it thoroughly because he was not able to focus and even remember most of the major points that could have embarrassed Trump and his supporters on the debate stage, like the fact that they do support the enemies of the Free World such as Putin, that they have killed the Law that was prepared in Congress to fix the border just because Trump felt it would make him lose, and the fact that Republicans were calling for over a year to defund the 

@FBI

 and the law enforcement agencies, thus carelessly calling for the endangerment of the American people and opening the door for the Mexican Cartels and Islamic Terrorists to enter the USA. Please leave your comments below:

Republicans Complain that Biden Did Not Unify America! But who is Dividing it?

 I was an avid American and a Republican even before arriving in the US in 2010. When I was a citizen of Iraq, where citizenship did not matter much, as you probably only needed it to get some nutritious food 🍲 or a job, and there were no elections whatsoever before 2003, my dream was to make Iraq like a smaller America, where people will have freedoms, free press, respect for human rights, etc.

However, that was impossible, of course, with the majority of the Iraqi people being highly religious and traditional. This failed state, thanks to Islamic rule, and thanks to the long reign of Arab-Fascism under the Baath regime, resembles America, which Republicans in general, and MAGA in specific, seek to achieve. Fascism cannot accept a genuine free market system, and thus, if Republicans would ever take power and abolish Democracy, then, they have to invent a form of Socialist economy that is controlled by the state. The MAGA regime, like Saddam's Baath party, and Hitler's Nazis, will have a system where the common man is crushed, and the big super-rich will enjoy the crushing of the workers' unions.

Back to our question regarding the part where many complain that President Biden did not unify the country, it is important to remember the real question: "Who is dividing America?" should be the question asked. Remember that every Fascist regime, and I have lived under one for 30 years, needs some sort of cult or religious "zeal" to avoid any kind of philosophical criticism, something even Atheistic Communist Regimes failed to do. I do remember how Saddam, the arrogant, ignorant, and dumb dictator, used to give religious hints regarding many of his political actions such as war campaigns, some increases in salaries, or even when the regime was facing difficulties because authoritarian regimes know that the majority, forced to "respect" religion, cannot talk. Now, MAGA makes a great appeal to religion, and many Republican senators and activists have said overwhelmingly that they believe that America was established based on "Biblical Principles", which is a total BS. Why it is BS? Because the constitution of the United States of America does not mention God, Allah, Jesus or the Bible or Muhammad or the Qur'an, or any other religious symbol. To put religion in politics or in the laws of the country, that act aims to intensify divisions and social strife because who is that who will decide which Church and which bible, and there are many of them, who will define the role of religion in the state. Imagine we are talking about these issues in the 21st century! The bringing of "religious freedoms" to the table by the Republicans actually aspires to create some form of hate towards #LGBTQ, towards others who have a different religion or different forms of Christian beliefs. and we should not forget how many Republicans did not like @SenatorRomney just because he is a Mormon. Now, President Biden is aware of the fact that you cannot accept in a Democracy, those who claim day and night that they accept election outcomes only when they win. I know that some dumb idiots would say that Hillary Clinton too did not accept the outcome of the 2016 election and that she was talking about a "stolen election" after she lost to Trump, but they ignore the fact that Hillary never ever said that the votes or the ballots ❎ were stolen or that the agency of a foreign power involved in the "steal". Hillary's complaint was about social media, the #FakeNews widely seen on #Facebook, #Twitter, and other platforms. Not just that, she did congratulate Trump the same night, even though she had more popular votes, so, she lost by states, not by the majority of the population. Now, the question is: Will we return to the age of hypocrisy and Racist compromises, when America accepted that half of 🌗 America should be slavery-based in a country that was claiming itself to be "the beacon of Freedom?" Or, we put Trump on trial and punish him for his crimes in an equal, justice for all system? Let us wait and see, with the hope that the American people will vote wisely.

Nick Adams @NickAdamsinUSA Proves that MAGAs are Seeking to Establish a Totalitarian Regime in America

 Let us be honest. It is clear, as president Biden said on more than a few occasions that MAGA thugs are not hiding their shameless wish to, not just establish a corrupt norm, but even to designate a dictator who will enjoy all the pomp of the absolute totalitarian leaders of several countries that have 0 respect for the human rights of the people and the freedom to criticize the government. In the tweet above we notice several things:

1- The guy shamelessly claims that 100% of Americans miss his boss, a lie and a spit on the face of the American experiment, and probably intended to be as such.

2- The other possibility is that Nick is defining "American" to mean only those who adhere to the Fuhrer and his worshippers, and therefore "Americanism" is defined as the pure race of MAGA thugs and the elite, probably compensation for the failure of the second coming of Jesus. 

3- The third possibility is that this kind of tweet represents a trend that is ubiquitous among MAGAs and intended to create anger among their opponents. As an example, you will find an example of this mentality in the infamous book of Qur'an in Surah 3 verse 119 where it says:

" When they meet you [means the hypocrites] they say, “We believe.” But when alone, they bite their fingertips in rage. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹May you˺ die of your rage!” Surely Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart."

In this sense, Nick and the rest of the MAGAs have no intention of fixing anything in America, but rather, grab power and hold on to it, whatever it is the cost. They are absolutely not different from ISIS or Al-Qaida and the rest of the terrorists.

Does Nick Adams @NickAdamsinUSA knows that Trump is Far More Dangerous for the US than Khamenei?

 As usual, we find that the MAGA folks who work as sellers for Trump's racist project for America have no idea, or more probable, ignore reality in order to satisfy the Big Boss and that the fact that there are other evils, malicious terrorists on @Twitter, like Ayatollah Khamenei, #MBS of #SaudiArabia is undeniable. However, there are some things that MAGAs ignore such as:

1- #Twitter is a business and a private sector corporation, and by MAGA's claimed "principles" Twitter has the right to suspend whoever they think 🤔 deserves to be suspended. That is exactly what Twitter did to my account just because I expected that #Trump will expire in jail, like Al Capone. So in that regard, Nick and the MAGAs are mistaken.

2- MAGAs commit a common fallacy that which is called What-about-ism which reminds me of some radical Islamists whom whenever they stuck about one of (prophet Muhammad's crimes) they reply by saying: What about #Hitler and #Stalin? They have killed millions! As if such an argument would make the crimes of the founder of Islam morally acceptable! So, Trump and his mouthpieces reply to every legal accusation by saying: "What about Hillary?" Which is in itself is an acknowledgment of guilt, and of course, the Aristocratic Republican Party has no problem having two legal systems, one for the common subjects, and the second applies to the elite. 

3- MAGA leaders and speakers depend on complaints of the American people without offering any solutions or ways to manage the suffering of the common American people. The bad news for MAGAs is that the American voters, mostly vote for Republicans as a way to punish the Democrats, but once they see how ugly is MAGA and its Fascism that is hiding behind #Jesus, they will not vote for them.

Leo Terrell: The Black Face of the White Nazi MAGA!

Some of the big names who turned against Trump included people l Again, sisters and brothers of the resistance of the Anti-Fascists! You see how truth, facts, reality, and evidence do not matter with the MAGA fascist movement because they talk as if people have no memory and no morality at all. As goes the saying: "The thief thinks that all people are thieves". So, Leo ignores the fact that Bill Barr was Trump's trusted guy in the DOJ and he remained as such until the last few days of Trump's miserable presidency. Leo ignores the fact that the majority of the American people are smart and will not forget that Bill Barr is just one out of many who said: enough is enough!

People like:

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis

Former Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer

Former White House national security adviser John Bolton

Former White House chief of staff John Kelly

Former White House national security adviser H.R. McMaster

Former Homeland Security adviser Tom Bossert

Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley

And remember Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson who had a rough experience with the thuggish president Trump! If Trump is hated by his own staff, why do you even try lying, Leo?

Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte is One of the Dumbest MAGAs!

 She is one of the dumbest MAGA Republicans I have ever seen, except for Trump for sure!

Take a look at this tweet from her:

First of all, she is dumb because, throughout all her tweets and posts, the only thing she's good at is making stupid propositions, such as this tweet above where she creates a failed comparison between Trump's chaotic presidency, where America was falling behind in healthcare, the rise of racial violence and hate. Not to mention the most serious threat to America, which was coming from Putin, and Trump's undermining of the importance of NATO alliance. For the dumb Brigette Gabriel, that disastrous presidency was "Greatness", whereas Joe Biden's hard work to save lives reminds her of 'nursing homes! Sure, under Biden's presidency we got a good sense of law and order, a sense of security as America, Europe, and all the free world is fighting side by side with the Ukrainian people against #Putin's evil war in #Ukrain! So, shut up your mouth Dumb Brigette! 

NAZIS ARE NAZIS WHEREVER THEY EXIST! The cult of MAGA worships Trump, just like the Nazis did with Hitler 70 years ago!

Are There “Islamic Feminists?” Some Fallacies in Arab Feminist Rooms on Clubhouse

By: Sohel Ahmed Bahjat

 

There are many awesome, Arab Feminist ladies and girls on Clubhouse App who represent the Feminist Movement in the Arab world, in general, and Iraq in specific. On Clubhouse and social media, one finds easily a struggle going on between the forces of Enlightenment, secularist groups, and women’s rights, versus the forces of Tradition, blind obedience, and the worship of Islamic symbols, all trying to get the support of society, which is, unfortunately, soaked in the Islamic myths, and belief system.

 

What motivated me to the writing of this article was an accusation I, and some other “male” secular colleagues, faced from some other female activists, stating, and I’m paraphrasing it, that: “Male Atheists adopt ‘women’s rights’ to reach our own agendas – as atheists – in defeating and weakening “Islam” – as if Islam is a ‘person’ we hate - or the religious elites behind it.”  The accusation, which went on, was adopted, partially, by some ladies who claimed themselves to be “Muslim Reformists” who requested from us – male atheists – to differentiate between Islam and women’s rights.

 

I, and my male friends, argued for the following points:

 

1-  It is impossible – and I emphasize the word “impossible” – for a woman, living in Islamic countries, to obtain even her most basic rights such as choosing her life partner, equality in inheritance – as a female receives half of the male’s portion and her testimony in courts considered less than the male’s testimony, and the freedom to decide how to live, which is not possible under the patriarchal system of Islam that establishes inequality in Qur’anic texts and the authenticated hadith [the sayings and the deeds of Muhammad]. Rather, females are killed under justifications such as honor with the most ridiculous justifications for crimes that are “protected” by a law derived from the Islamic religion.

 

2- The quest and the struggle over women’s liberation is linked to the struggle against Islamic fascism, and any attempt to separate between the two – women’s rights and the expulsion of religious authority from political power – is an absurd attempt, could be like turning the trial of a male rapist into a matter of “distorted culture” and nothing more. This separation serves the (Arab-Kurdish-Turkish) Nationalist Islamic trend embracing the dress of religion, which is constantly waging campaigns to undermine and demonize secular feminists, in general, (such campaigns include insults that reflect the baseness and fall of religious education.)

 

3- One of the feminist ladies, kindly stated that “there are also ‘masculine’ atheists and secularists, which means that the feminist struggle is not limited to Islamists and nationalists.” This is, of course, a major fallacy because these “atheist patriarchs” do not rely on scientific theories to marginalize and undermine women, but rather benefit from the same privileges of masculinity that Islam provided for them for centuries.

 

4- The scene where we find veiled, religious women and some bearded, religious men claim the adoption of feminism is one of two possibilities: either the Islamic movements are trying hard to absorb the audience of the feminist movement – who are accused of atheism and being atheists for the mere demands for the most basic rights of females - or these Muslim women, adopting the emancipation of women will reach a crossroad, where they must choose between (Islam) or their freedom and dignity.

 

5- Let us remember the lessons of history: Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, in Turkey consolidated women’s rights by marginalizing the role of religion and clergymen - notice that the management of religion is carried out by males - and so did Muhammad Reza and his son, the Shah of Iran, marginalizing religion in Iran, and Habib Bourguiba did the same in Tunisia. When did women's rights decline in the same countries? When Islam returned to the aforementioned countries.

 

6-  It is possible to see some, wearing Hijab, feminists, such as Malala Yousefzai, but they remain to be considered “heretics”, and apostates by the majority of the religious establishment, thus, the struggle against the Islamic tradition is essential.

 

In conclusion: It is our right as human beings, and in our interest as males, to get the best life partner for us through the emancipation of women. We, males, should remember that it is our duty, as rational beings, to support women without showing even the slightest sign that such a contribution is an endowment of any kind. When females are freed from the Islamic, social, sales of girls in male-made deals of marriages, only then, such countries will improve.

Joy Reid Should Not Apologize for Stating the Truth of the Islamic World

 

I know what kind of hardship an American voter is facing on November 3^rd, especially if they have a great deal of trust in scientific methodology and a belief in Humanism. Of course, I’m not voting Republican as I know for sure that the Republican Party has decided to adopt the platform of a monarch and the Islamic way of doing things by mixing a series of lies and religious nonsense that is a perfect fit for uneducated people. Now, the problem with the Democrats is the fact that they make the situation worse by bringing Communists and Islamists, like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib who sound the trumpet of #Islamophobia whenever Islam or Mohammed are mentioned without a praise. Just recently, and I was listening live, Joy Reid was talking on her show on #MSNBC how Islamic dictators behave like Donald Trump and at the time I thought that CAIR Council on American-Islamic Relations will make something out of this, and I was not surprised that those people who defend Islam, not Muslims, started shouting #Islamophobia as soon as Joy Reid was done with her program.

When I was a Muslim, I was trying to become a liberal, open-minded free thinker believing that I can be one, and remain a Muslim. I wished to see some people who wanted to insult and criticize Mohammed and Islam just to feel that we were living in a free society. However, I discovered that it is impossible to follow Qur’an and the Islamic tradition verbatimly and build a free society because Islam requires Muslims to suppress freedom of speech if somebody else dares to mock or criticize Islam, the Prophet or the Qur’an, and for example, according to the Sirah, the life and the actions of Mohammed, one of the Jewish noblemen named Ka’ab bin Al-Ashraf used to say poems mocking Mohammed and his faith and that, additionally, he flirted in his poems and fancied lovemaking with some Muslim women. These poems made Mohammed, the prophet of mercy, issue an order to assassinate the Poet, and that the prophet sent someone close to Ka’ab in order to give the murderer easier access to finishing of the poet. So, the prophet of Islam didn’t ask his community to respond in kind to the poet, meaning in poetry, but rather decided to kill him.

For those who think that by criticizing Islam I’m implying that Christianity is ok, I say that while it is true that Jesus is better as a character than the vagabond Mohammed, we should not forget that Christianity too contributed in the massacring of the Jewish people throughout its history, and whether you are talking about Catholics, Orthodox Christians or Protestant Christians, all of them had a hand in the killing and the persecution of the Jews. Also, remember that Christianity considers Jesus to be the same God who ordered Moses, Joshua and King David to commit genocide against several nations.

I believe, like Sam Harris and the late Christopher Hitchens that humanity needs to stand up against religion, specifically Islam for its fundamentalism, and to adopt the humanistic, scientific, and universal approach to solve humanity’s problems.

#JoyReid should say no to #CAIR and #MSNBC should stand with our #FirstAmendment

The Burning of Holy Books, Time for Muslims to Learn Freedom! And Trump too Should Learn!

Every while, we see some angry folks of the Muslim communities in western countries go out in an angry mode vandalizing property and terrifying people, and for what? For a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad or as a “reaction” to a mere threat of burning the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, as we saw on news recently in Sweden. The irony is that those Muslims cannot have the very freedom, they express in secular western countries, in their original Islamic countries because the government will shot them dead. The political move done by right-wing Racist Christian groups seek to agitate these intolerant Islamists in order to create an Islamic-Christian clash, in order to help Trump and Republicans in America, and such radicals in Europe, before elections. The radicals on both sides have something in common, and that is both consider Secularism to be against God-and-Allah, and for that reason we see Trump and his Republicans insist on ignoring the Wall of Separation between religion and state, widely known and explained by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and constitutional commentators, in order to bring the myth of Judeo-Christian Constitution of the United States into power. Islamists in the Middle East, such as in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, etc.…’ welcome such a move because it gives them the justification to argue that “as the West is eager to bring their religious heritage to the public sector, so Muslims should do more,” which is a disaster because already there is too much Islamization in the Middle East that such a radical view of life is a threat to the universal peace. No one should call me an #Islamophobe because I had an Islamic education before moving to the United States, meaning that I was a Muslim and I have studied the religion since my teenage years. However, there is something that we all should cherish and promote and that is that we should separate between attacking Muslims as a group of people, which should be rejected and condemned, and attacking the violent, hateful, and backward theology of Islam, so criticizing Islam as an idea should be encouraged and supported, just as we criticize any idea in free societies. Now, I saw today on TV how Trump attacked those who burn the American flag in protest, and Trump reminds me of the Islamists who convert anything, magically, into a sacred thing, and the next time you try to disapprove that thing or practice, they rush to accuse you of being offensive to that thing which they call “Holy”. I don’t approve the burning of the American flag because for me the flag represents the identity of the American experience, but one of the bases of American freedoms is that people can burn the flag and the constitution as well without being subject to any punishment. Trump shares so much with those Islamists who shout hate and violence against some individual or a group of people, simply because they burn a copy of the Qur’an or drawing a caricature of Mohammed. Whether the right-wing Christian is evil or not, they have the right to burn a book, any book, even if it’s allegedly “written by God?”. If Allah is so jealous over Mohammed or his Qur’an, why don’t the Islamists leave revenge and punishment to Allah? They say that God-Allah controls everything, so, why don’t you pray to your God-Allah to show his power and send the Qur’an burners, let say, a thunder or transform those who burn the Qur’an to monkeys? Or simply, go ahead and burn a copy of the Bible, and everybody can go home happy. Obviously, radical Christians and radical Muslims are using religious jealousies as a tool for control and power. The more we ban one side from practicing one of the normal practices of freedom, and we might even dislike these practices, the more we put our societies into a path of fear and distrust. Evil Jesus needs Evil Mohammed and vice versa, in order to spread the venom, it is time for Muslims to learn how to live in a free society, and if we ban Qur’an burnings, we will ban Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses, ban gay marriage, ban cartoons, ban every sentiment that reflects the love of freedom. Islam is an evil religion and it has killed Muslims more than any other group. It is time that you learn peace and leave things to God-Allah, so if he intends to punish anyone, it is not your job to do so.
