The Peace of Westphalia: Shredded with Four Words



"There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*****’ Strait, you crazy b******s, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP’."

Yesterday, President Trump posted what is above on Truth Social.  I actually laughed out loud because I have a wicked sense of humor - gained from growing up with four fun-loving brothers.  But after the good laugh, I was aware the rules of the game have now changed.  Perhaps not for us - but certainly for Iran.

Praise be to Allah.  With four small words, the Peace of Wesphalia and the spirit in which it was written, have been shredded.  It is the mocking of a god.  Iran now sees this as a religious war. And they will fight it as a religious war.  

This is the battlespace which we do not understand. And it is the adamantine terrain of the mind which is noted by this journalist in the changing of linguistic communications coming across platforms today.

Protesters are no longer protesters.  They are hypocrites.  This is a strategic linguistic "hinge word" in the Qur'an which was reserved for the ones considered the most cunning opponents of Prophet Muhammad.  When you see this word - munafiqun - there will always be a back story.  

But, it goes even further today when Iran informs that "The Assembly of the Intoxicated" are arriving little by little into the arms of the security services.  This is not meant to be a play on words.  The word for intoxication in Arabic is Khamr, which is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes.  In the Hanafi (Sunni) tradition, wine made from date fruit is allowed.  But across the board, "Whatever intoxicates in large amounts is Haraam in small amounts." (Sunan Abu Dawud -English translation - Vol 3, pp. 1043-4 no. 3673)



The men in the image above have been executed. Not only were they hypocrites, but they were "intoxicated" with something which harms not only the Ummah (the Muslim community) but the state. That "intoxication" was stirring up protests on the streets.  Freedom, truly is the most beneficial of intoxicants in Western societies.  But within Islamic republics, it presents as threat. 
 
We forget that Islam is government.  It always has been. We merely identify the coercive control of religion as the  predominant frame.

There is a red line; and here it is, found tucked into a thought coming from a Telegram Channel today.

https://quran.com/al-ahzab/60

"The clear message of the verse to the scoundrels and compromising movements is that the security of the Islamic society is the red line of God and the Messenger."

Now I am not interested in this particular Channel which posted the commentary above because it is loaded with kalam (Islamic creed).   I am familiar with the terrain of the mind.  But this is the first time I have seen that protest is seen as a "red line" based on the Qur'an.  

Regardless, it is most likely true the West fomented the initial protests to soften up the landscape. And every Congressman and politician continued lighting the match by declaring that hope was on the way.  Dreadful thought?  Iran will kill far more of their own citizens than we will kill of their combatants. They have their red lines too, for their general population.

What else am I seeing?  A lot of chatter about the Battle of Badr.  "Allah threw". And the fact that our aircraft were stuck in the sand during the rescue mission of the SWO is just confirmation bias that Allah sent a sandstorm, and the first major battle victory for the Muslims was won with Allah's help... and a few thousand angels on the side.

What else?  Ahadith is being slung about.  Apparently, Iran's university comparable to our MIT was targeted.  There was an ahadith shouted out for that event.  So this is now the war of a god against the Great Satan.  And we really, really should have kept their god out of the mix. The hornet's nest has been whacked, and tomorrow may hold unwelcome surprises.   These guys - are gearing up to attack our bases in the Middle East.






Iran - has women joyriding about with weapons.



Iran Embassy in Sierra Leone is churning out a lot of agitprop. I remain uninterested in that shit.  But it is a concern for U.S. embassy staff.  Do the Muslims in Sierra Leone believe they are now fighting for god?

But Iran has their god.  And they believe they have all the time in the world.  One of the images floating about is the full nomenclature from one of our missiles with a manufacture date of 05/25.  Iran sincerely believes they are depleting our capabilities very quickly, since they have possession of a more recently manufactured missile.

Again.  They have their god.  And the language is changing, and that makes it a greater danger for our troops on the ground.

We have our President. And we have his bellicose insult.   But it must be remembered that we also have our troops. They have been placed in greater danger because of the careless words of our POTUS.  He is probably unaware of the Peace of Westphalia; and how it changed our world from a state of Tolkien' Middle Earth, to Modern.    

May God continue to bless our troops and keep them safe.  And may our hot-headed POTUS lean toward wisdom.

He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people.

"Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
