As armed groups block the Radisson to stop the HCS from gathering, it’s a good time to wonder about the rationale of Khaled al-#Meshri this year.
W/out even holding a proper HCS vote, #Meshri gave Aqila the HCS’s blessing — ie a consequential endorsement of Bashagha.

Dear @SecDef #Austin, the Afghan Government "collapsed" because the US Administration cut a deal with the Taliban, not because of Taliban attacks which they countered for 19 years.
The Taliban made advances because they had a deal with the Adm that they will be the next power.

Dear General #Milley, the best way not to "Americanize" any war is not to cut deals with the enemy, the Taliban in the case of Afghanistan.
As simple as that.

Can Congress ask the secretary of defense, the joint chiefs, and @CENTCOM commander, what is the plan they established with the #Taliban in #Doha, to transfer #Afghanistan to them?
Was there a joint plan? If yes, what was it. If not, how would a transition take place?

Indeed it was a dirty politics under the umbrella of religion.
Queen doesn’t use religion into politics. She didn’t get her land back that was given to the London central mosque by her father, neither she has any intention to convert any mosque into the church. @FaridQureshi_UK

This step was taken politically under the disguise of religion. It’s a message to Turkish opponents and specifically the Arab world that:
1- We still remember Ottoman defeat
2- We will bring our Caliphate back
3- Challenge the Western world

4- Victorious message to religious ideological front (#MuslimBrotherhood)
5- Direct threat to the Arab world (Saudi Arabia) they Turkey is moving towards ruling the Muslim ummah
6- Security threat to Israel
I hope you better understand the hidden messages behind this move.

#MuslimBrotherhood-linked #CAIR lobby group listed as a terror entity by the #UAE, is suing a professor in AZ (among other) for using my book #FutureJihad as 1 of the references to his lectures. This flagrant assault on the 1st Amd is a political version of medieval book burning. 
#CAIR smears me, using an #Ikhwan slander, describes me as "a known #Islamophobe who openly promotes anti-Muslim ideologies." I am a well known critic of #MuslimBrotherhood ideologies not of religion, in defense of a majority of Arabs and Muslims against Jihadism and Khomeinism.
In the @NYTimes piece against me they claim "that I "frequently appeared on #FoxNews to discuss the dangers of Islamic terrorism & Shariah law." Not accurate. I don't use the term "Islamic terrorism" but "Jihadism." A rebuttal @ #PittsburghPostGazette here

I don't use the term "#Islamic" but rather the word "#Islamist." I carefully select my words based on academic research. I make sure it represents the meaning in English and #Arabic. The @NYTimes writers put words I haven't used (neither in my books or in the media) in my mouth.
Either because their assigned writers and "investigative journalists" are not trained in comparative politics, which is a problem for the once "prominent" #NYT or because they copy this narrative from the #MuslimBrotherhood and Iran playbooks against me, which by far, is worse.
My OpEd in #IndependentArabiya. US withdrawal decision from Syria will have a domino effect in the region.

القوات التركية تحت أوامر الرئيس رجب طيب أردوغان يبدو كأنها تعمل بكل ما في وسعها لإقامة شريط حدودي يمتد من إنطاكية عبر عفرين إلى الحدود العراقية- السورية في الشمال الشرقي، وتستهدف هذه المنطقة إخراج قوات سوريا الديمقراطية والسيطرة على البلدات والمدن الكردية والعربية والمسيحية.
أبلغ أردوغان العالم بأنه ينوي الدفع بمليون لاجئ سوري موجودين داخل تركيا إلى هذه المنطقة لتوطينهم، وهذا يعني عملياً دفع مليون من القاطنين الأصليين في هذه المنطقة إلى خارجها نحو الجنوب وشرقاً إلى العراق،
Egypt’s ousted president Mohamed Morsi dies in court while facing trial, state television reports wapo.st/2MVRCDs?tid=ss…
RIP Mohamed Morsi. He and his #Ikhwan colleagues made a poor job of governing, were v. naive in their failure to foresee/forestall the military's super-vicious, anti-democratic counter-attack. But he was democratically elected! Small thread...
In Spring 2011 I was one of very few Western analysts who predicted that if there were democratic elections, likely the #Ikhwan (MB) would win. I was right. This was not because I supported their program but becuz I understood & admired their organizing capability. >
