I sincerely believe everyone is worth having a conversation with and every sane person is capable of reasoning toward the good if approached with good will, respect, and wisdom.

A prisoner in the Arizona State Prison system decided to reconnect with his Welsh heritage by studying the Welsh language. Now he leads a group of inmates who are independently studying endangered, ancient, and vulnerable languages—Welsh, Brittonic, Assyrian, Old Norse, Taíno,

I don’t know any Christian who would behave like this. Many times I’ve seen Jews & Christians praying in public & have never felt the urge to harass them.
Dallas, Texas near Epic Mosque 💥💥👀🙏🏼✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️🙏🏼👀💥💥 Man confronts a group of Muslims praying near a coffee shop. He plays duck, duck, goose with them while saying The Lord’s Prayer over their prayers. He lets them know that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

It is not the function of point-scoring apologetics to persuade others of the truth of one’s faith.

The decision by Mamdani’s adversaries to paint him as the head of a plot by the Muslim “enemy within” to conquer Western civilization was not just an ineffective campaign strategy. It was immoral & itself a threat to the American civic order.
Stop calling Mamdani a jihadi. He's no Islamist threat to the West; like his supporters, he’s the apotheosis of the Western elite, filled with the unique resentment of the highly-educated but economically precarious. You might say Mamdani’s got 99 problems, but a burka aint one.

If you believe any child is not innocent, whether they are Israeli, Palestinian, or anything else, then you are purely evil. This shouldn't be complicated.

I’m confused as to why Philadelphia’s NPR station @whyy insists on using the term “people with uteruses” instead of “women.”

Premodern scholars regularly reproduced passages from other scholars without explicit attribution as part of the process of developing their own arguments & no one considered it plagiarism. Aquinas also regularly cited other scholars (including Farabi).

Islam and Judaism are two beautiful and deeply humanistic religions, and there is no reason our communities should not be allies. Stop pitting us against each other. We are human beings, not pawns.

Assuming this claim from an anonymous twitter rando is accurate, how is this different from how we’re still fighting over racially drawn voting districts in 2025?
Having municipal elections decided by clan feuds from Somalia is pure fucking madness. Send them all back. They don't belong here and to hell with whoever decided to bring them in the first place.

The video proves nothing because: (1) Bigots have in fact vandalized Jewish institutions (2) There have in fact been hoaxes or inside jobs (with many minority groups), but also (3) States like Russia have sponsored such incidents as a psyops. A guy in a hat could be any of them
This is the man who the NYPD said sprayed the swastikas in New York. It's an Orthodox Jew. https://t.co/EYjuyRKDGH

A surprising percent of developing world dictators would step down if offered full amnesty, 250K a year, and a big house in an American UMC neighborhood with good public schools.

In May 1732 the Pennsylvania Gazette reported from Westphalia on 11 ships of migrants from the Palatinate fleeing religious persecution. They were on their way to America by way of Holland. My great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Johannes Michael was on one of them.

Andrew, would you be willing to have a conversation with me about Islam and Muslims in America?
Translation: I’ve never had a Muslim peacefully and respectfully try and convince me of the merits of their religion … because they prefer to subjugate, conquer, enslave, and kill. They will use whatever means necessary, demographics, politics, planes, or guns. Literal lethal
