A Judge punishes a complainer By Dr Sohail Ansari

" ولقد کرمنا بنی آدم وحملناهم فی البر و البحر و رزقناهم من الطيباب وفضلناهم علی کثير ممن خلقنا تفضيلا " "Certainly we gave dignity the Children of Adam, and carried them over land and sea, and provided them with all the good things, and given them an advantage over many of those We have created with a complete preference. (Q.17:70) (I LAUGH BUT BELATEDLY part 5) ‘Then there is what Solzhenitsyn called the “decline of courage” in the West: the vast majority US politicians have basically lost the ability to criticize Blacks, even when it is quite obvious that many of the current problems of the Black population of the USA are created by Blacks themselves: I think of the truly vulgar, obscene and overall disgusting “rap culture” with which most Black youth are now “educated” in since early childhood or how many Black youth have been brainwashed into considering gang members and street prostitutes as the measure of what “looking cool” looks like in terms of clothes, ...

No ‘common sense’ understanding of the burden of proof by Dr Sohail Ansari

But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars. [Quran, 29:3] Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. King James Bible  (I LAUGH BUT BELATEDLY part 4)  ‘ The systemic collapse of the US society has begun   I have lived in the United States for a total of 24 years and I have witnessed many crises over this long period, but what is taking place today is truly unique and much more serious than any previous crisis I can recall.  And to explain my point, I would like to begin by saying what I believe the riots we are seeing taking place in hundreds of US cities are not about.  They are  not  about: 1. Racism or “White privilege” 2. Police violence 3. Social alienation and despair 4. Poverty 5. Trump 6. The liberals pouring fuel on social fires 7. The infighting of the US elites/deep state T...

The act of referring is as dubious as the reference itself By Dr sohail Ansari

“The unjust shall not have any compassionate friend nor any intercessor who should be obeyed.” Qur'an, 40:18. “Learn to do good; seek  justice , correct  oppression ; bring  justice  to the fatherless, and please the widow's cause,” (Isaiah 1:17). (I LAUGH BUT BELATEDLY part 3) Citation can never be for the sake of it. “Citing” refers to giving an example of some subject for substantiating oneself. Examples are given and books or sites are cited to develop claims or to counter any reasoning. A responder states: ‘problem is that the left likes to scream all the time, and that’s what we end up hearing’ Left misguides   through screaming (that black suffers otherwise reality is otherwise) is what a responder suggests, therefore,   to put us in the right perspective a responder should have cited some conservative and right-wing media, but he refers to https://thesaker.is/the-systemic-collapse-of-the-us-society-has-begun/ that claims to be the ...

The glass can sometime be always half empty By Prof Dr Sohail Ansari

(I LAUGH BUT BELATEDLY BY DR SOHAIL ANSARI part 2)  “Everyone and all members of the human race, including the pious and the sinner, are endowed with dignity, nobility and honour, which cannot be made exclusive to any particular group or class of people”. The Quran commentator, Shihab al-Din al-Alusi ‘Dignity is not earned by meritorious conduct; it is established as an expression of God’s grace as a natural and absolute right of every human person as of the moment of birth. It is God-given, hence, no individual or state may take it away from anyone’. MOHMMAD HASHIM KAMALI’. ‘Everyone has their own worth and the way it may be perceived differs, but it can't be taken away’   MICHAEL KOREN  A responder said: “We read our opinion of the world is formed by experiencing the world in our own way, it is not that we do not read, it is that we read different authors, and read and understand them differently’’ Human beings seem to have the same organs and ...

I LAUGH BUT BELATEDLY BY DR SOHAIL ANSARI

‘All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except bypiety (taqwa) and good action. ’  The last sermon of Prophet Muhammad Part 1   ‘A VIDEO SHOWS  George Floyd, a black man, lying in the street in anguish, with his head crushed against the pavement. A white officer presses his knee into Floyd’s neck. “I can’t breathe,” Floyd, 46, says repeatedly. “Please. Please. Please. I can’t breathe. Please, man.” Bystanders, filming the scene, plead with the officer to stop. He doesn’t. As three other officers stand by, he kneels on Floyd for eight minutes and 48 seconds as the life seeps from his body’. “It was a modern-day lynching,” said Arica Coleman, an historian, cultural critic, and author.   “This man was lying helplessly on the ground. He’s subdued. There’s the cop kneeling on his neck. Th...
