2024 Paris Olympics tableau of The Last Supper
The controversial subversion of the iconic last supper of Jesus into a LGBTQ, Dionysusian tableau at the 2024 Paris Olympics has raised the ire of Christians around the world. Why would France promote such imagery at a forum that would be broadcast worldwide? It is a manifestation of an ongoing process in which radically secular […]
Aaron Bushnell – burnt offerings
If you do one thing before sleeping tonight, take a moment to recognize the extreme sacrifice of Aaron Bushnell and to recognize the purity of his intention, and say a prayer (dua) for the people of Gaza for whom he sacrificed himself, making his body into a burnt offering. Acknowledge his protest, the determination and […]
Another letter to Biden (on Gaza)
Dear President Biden, Please stop giving speeches claiming to care about civilians and then providing every means to slaughter them in vast numbers. This could be shut down instantly but the will is clearly to do the opposite. I don’t understand your love for a genocidal maniac who has been Oct 7th’ing the Palestinians […]
Letter to Biden on Gaza
There is no kind way to say this – what can be said to a President who people had hope for but who has sold off his humanity and sacrificed so many innocent lives for geopolitical goals. With the recent commemoration of the holocaust, there seems to be a complete disconnect between that horrific past […]

But each time the reflections repeat themselves the quality of the reflection degrades ever so slightly. At first this change is hardly noticeable, but as we […]
Political Responsibility and the Destruction of Gaza
Politicians, by the nature of their office, have a serious duty to be answerable for their words, decisions, and actions, when faced with situations that require moral judgements and ethical and moral responsibility. They especially, as a political class in which the citizenry has vested a certain degree of power and trust, must hold individual […]
Dua (A Prayer) for Palestinians
Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim O God, the calamity has become immense and the ugliness of its destructive consequences are openly visible for all to witness. Only the deniers of Truth, those who dwell in the illusions of their own minds, who have lost their own souls and who have become like ravenous beasts – they attack […]
And with Him are the keys of the unseen….
“And with Him are the keys of the unseen.” (Qur’an 6:59) The use of unseen in the Qur’an includes vast domains of hidden reality, of worlds beyond the limits of our knowledge, of existences and creations outside the boundaries of our perception, of whole vast realms that are concealed and demarcated so as to deny […]
Your soul is sufficient as a reckoning…
Extract from The Wisdom of The Throne (Mulla Sadra) ———— He – May He be exalted – said: “And We bring forth for them on the Day of the Rising a Book that they find opened wide. Read your Book! Today your soul is sufficient as a reckoning against you” (Qur’an, 17:13-14). And He – […]
