Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Gabriel (ﷺ) came to me and said: I came to you last night and was prevented from entering simply because there were images at the door, for there was a decorated curtain with images on it in the house, and there was a dog in the house. So order the head of the image which is in the house to be cut off so that it resembles the form of a tree; order the curtain to be cut up and made into two cushions spread out on which people may tread; and order the dog to be turned out. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then did so. The dog belonged to al-Hasan or al-Husayn and was under their couch. So he ordered it to be turned out. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadd means a thing on which clothes are placed like a couch.

Narrated Aisha:

(mother of the faithful believers) I bought a cushion with pictures on it. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw it, he kept standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed the sign of disgust on his face, so I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I repent to Allah and His Apostle. (Please let me know) what sin I have done." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "What about this cushion?" I replied, "I bought it for you to sit and recline on." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The painters (i.e. owners) of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them, 'Put life in what you have created (i.e. painted).' " The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "The angels do not enter a house where there are pictures."

We observe in culture a very dangerous moral and religious phenomenon, a certain spiritual corruption of a woman ”, which is to arouse pride. The dissemination of such attitudes as "vanity, self-interest and egotism" is to lead to "killing the family and closing oneself to fertility. Polish Minister of Education`s advisor.

“Then there is the free housing and car...free trips...my impending pension...I’m hooked on my elevated status in the community...and all the attention... Everyone thinks I am an honest and honorable person, not a fraud...And there is no way I can ever refund all that money I coerced under false pretenses...

Parents would hate me for exposing them as willing co-conspirators and enablers...against their own children...

Kids would hate their parents for all the time and money they wasted...which they desperately needed...

The government and judges would hate me for exposing the insanity of people swearing oaths to be truthful...on a book of fables...

Anyway, it’s easier to make a person believe...than convince them that it’s all just make believe...”

And conservatives want to run our fucking government based on this shit.

Idea: Pass an Anti-Racist Constitutional Amendment

“To fix the original sin of racism, Americans should pass an anti-racist amendment to the U.S. Constitution that enshrines two guiding antiracist principals,” writes Ibram X. Kendi.

To fix the original sin of racism, Americans should pass an anti-racist amendment to the U.S. Constitution that enshrines two guiding anti-racist principals: Racial inequity is evidence of racist policy and the different racial groups are equals. The amendment would make unconstitutional racial inequity over a certain threshold, as well as racist ideas by public officials (with “racist ideas” and “public official” clearly defined). It would establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees. The DOA would be responsible for preclearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won’t yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas. The DOA would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas.

Kendi wants his authoritarian ideology to be written into the U.S. Constitution and granted the power to override any law based on the principles therein (e.g. separation of church and state, neutral laws, freedom of speech), based on explicitly illiberal principles, using definitions defined by him - e.g. “equity” (equal outcomes, discrimination to adjust shares) in place of equality (equal opportunity, equal treatment); his definition of “racism”, i.e. anyone who is not actively “antiracist” (again, his definition), since it’s not possible to be “not-racist” - and with punitive powers to be held over the heads of all policymakers who might disagree with the dictates of his ideology, regardless of their intentions.

“A racist policy is any measure that produces or sustains racial inequity between racial groups. An antiracist policy is any measure that produces or sustains racial equity between racial groups. By policy, I mean written and unwritten laws, rules, procedures, processes, regulations, and guidelines that govern people. There is no such thing as a nonracist or race-neutral policy. Every policy in every institution in every community in every nation is producing or sustaining either racial inequity or equity between racial groups.”

Essentially, he wants to make the U.S. a Woke Theocracy, governed by Woke Sharia, with himself in the role of the Prophet.

Even if we dismiss this as simply a mental exercise, it reveals his thought process and ambitions.

Believe them when they tell you what they’re up to.
