New rule, non muslims can’t say the word jihad. Until you stop conflating a word that means personal struggle with faith and temptation with terrorism youre just not allowed to say it.

[moody-poet-deactivated20180227]

I’m not a Muslim but I just thought I would reblog this because I think it’s definitely worth listening to.

[daddyapo-deactivated20190625]

It’s totally okay for non muslims to reblog this, and i encourage it. Im just glad you’re listening.

[neuroatypically-speaking]

Oh god, finally someone said it. Every time I see words like “jihadist” I want to scream, but I’m not Muslim, so I wasn’t sure I should say anything. 

Jihad means struggle. It doesn’t mean holy war or anything like it. In fact, there is no word in Islam for holy war, because the nature of Islam does not leave room for holy war. Islam has a juridical system, not a Pope who can just say “Go wage holy war.” Conflating the personal nature of jihad with violence is so very gross and it needs to stop. Period.

Actually, there’s another word non-muslims in the media shouldn’t use:

Allahu Akbar. It’s not a statement of terrorism. It means “god is great”. It’s something we say to praise our lord. It’s what we say when we pray. It’s not a statement of terrorism. Allahu Akbar doesn’t mean terrorism stop using it as one

I would really appreciate it if non Muslims understood this

Lemanjah by Brazilian artist Marcelo Jorge … Lemanjah is the Queen of the Sea

[maneth985]

This is perfect because Lemanjah (Yemanyá in Spanish from Argentina and Uruguay, Yemoja in yoruba) is always depicted, at least in my region, as a perfect aetherial skinny white woman with black hair when she’s really a goddess/queen of the seas (among other things) in an African religion. So to depict her as actually black as she should be and also with imperfections such as rolls and cellulite is absolutely beautiful.

[sassenachsansa-deactivated20201]

Cellulite and rolls are not imperfections. Cellulite is a secondary sex characteristic to do with how cis women store fat, and rolls are necessary to keep our skin from splitting open and spilling our guts.

[maneth985]

I’m aware but they’re considered flaws that should be hidden, and to show them in an art piece is amazing

I decided im a post-work-out daze that the #poseofthemonth for December shall be pincha mayurasana or forearm stand. I start from all fours and come onto my forearms. Elbows AND hands should be shoulders width apart like two train tracks. If you are ready to come up (if it’s hard to maintain parallel forearms) than just come up off your knees and work on strengthening in Dolphin pose. Once that is secure (there’s no rush) you will simply lift one leg. Both legs should be straight and you should be able to maintain a square pelvis. When the time is right and the foundation is planted, you will have no problem floating right up. DON’T KICK UP (like I did) concentrate on stacking shoulders and then ribs and then hips. In other words tip-toe your feet closer to your elbows, and start with a wall to assist. Have FUN!!!

Plant-based thanksgiving. 3/4 of the plate is plants. This feels soooooooo good! I also ate an amazing kale salad with homemade tahini dressing, gluten free cornbread and gluten free bourbon apple crumble. #glutenfree #yum #thankful #shred10 #juiceplus #health #plantbased #wholefood #food #mindful #fruitsandveggies (at Pawleys Island, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqgk34mgc4h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n7pj57fzz6us
