Mathilde #Panot s’en est ainsi violemment prise au journal Le Parisien en utilisant le même argument que les #islamistes : qualifier d’#islamophobe toute critique des pratiques islamistes pour les rendre illégitimes et transformer en racisme la remise en cause de l’intégrisme.
#Panot fait même de l’#abaya la tenue « réglementaire » de la femme musulmane. Elle normalise ainsi un vêtement symbole de rigorisme, telle une prescriptrice religieuse, pour un vêtement très peu porté par les musulmanes de France. lexpress.fr/politique/raph…
One of the key commanders during the initial 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦 in 2014, Igor Girkin, previously served as a 🇷🇺“volunteer” during the Bosnian War (center below) and participated in the Visegrad Massacre, one of the worst episodes of the #BosnianGenocide.
In Višegrad, Bosniaks made up 64% of the population in 1991. Today they make up 9%. The extremist Serb Chetnik movement is responsible for mass rape and genocide in #Visegrad in 1940s and 90s. Now, they are emboldened by Dodik and the West’s appeasement of Vucic.

One way to try and understand the relationship between Ramadan fasting & IBD is by subgroups:
1️⃣ patients with IBD in remission
2️⃣ hospitalized with active disease
3️⃣ undifferentiated IBD patients
4️⃣ animal models of fasting & IBD
5️⃣ extrapolations from rheumatology

One of the last great blue buildings in the Khanate of Khiva was Kalta Minor. This had to be the tallest structure in Khiva & in the whole of Central Asia. Works ended abruptly in 1855, leaving this beautiful minaret unfinished #Ramadan

Things that are established: Ramadan fasting does not make fatty liver disease worse
But does it make it better?
The empiric answer would be YES, but how? let’s dive into the nuance

Observational data suggest that in patients with #fattyliverdisease, Ramadan tends to ⬇️ LFTs and ⬆️glycemic function

Retrospective data seems to agree with this:

So the available data (though limited) establishes that Ramadan fasting seems to improve LFTs and leads to valuable reductions in disease-related indices like fibrosis scores

1. Ramadan is an experience that is shared throughout the entire community. Perhaps one of the largest benefits of fasting is that it’s performed by all Muslims in unity, encouraging a bond that is stimulated by obedience to Allah (SWT) #Ramadan
2. Iftar is one of the religious observances of Ramadan, & is often done as a community, with Muslim people across the world gathering to break their fast together. The meal is taken just after the call to the Maghrib prayer, which is at sunset #Ramadan
This week, many of us started Ramadan with the news of Ahmed, a young man in #Ottawa, being berated by a guard associated with @VIA_Rail, for praying inside a train station.
The right to worship freely is a cornerstone of Canadian society and democracy. The guard's actions amounted to blatant #Islamophobia.
We got involved to help Ahmed. We made it clear to VIA Rail and other authorities that the incident is indicative of systemic #Islamophobia. Real solutions are needed.
Mosques are at the heart of Islamic life. Muslims spend much time inside mosques during Ramadan as they congregate for communal prayers. Many mosques are renowned for the beauty & artistry of their interiors.
For #Ramadan we look inside 20 mosques across the world…

The Holy Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammed ﷺ over 23 years, with the first revelations in the month of Ramadan in 610 AD.

1/ The Quran began to be revealed to Prophet Muhammed ﷺ during the month of Ramadan in 610, in its original form to the present day. The companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), played an important role in the compilation of the Quran, leaving an interesting story behind #Ramadan
2/ The ultimate book of universal guidance, the Holy Quran, was revealed to Prophet Muhammed ﷺ over a period of 23 years, in small parts; the holy book was not compiled until after his demise.

Just before #Ramadan, married (with many children) Sabir (32), Nasir (30) and Nazir (32) abducted and raped a 16 year old girl in Alwar Rajasthan. Girl committed suicide after 7 hours. I am very worried about #Ramazan. How many women will have to die before we see the obvious??
In Bihar, just before #Ramadan, Akram was forcibly kissing many women and running away. Thankfully he has been caught before #Ramazan so that he didn't get a chance to escalate his crimes.
Gang of 4, serious. Used to wear Kalava so that people would blame Hindus and Holi. They are trained since childhood.
