That's obviously horseshit. "Peace" in the Middle East was, for a time, ensured by the Ottoman Empire enforcing an economy rooted in keeping thing stable and extracting as much wealth as possible from the populace. The entire Empire collapsed in revolt literally every decade as every single one of the Caliph's dozens of sons began murdering each other for who got to take his place. The Ottomans eventually succeeded in ending this practice of mass fratricide by having the Caliph imprison every son except one in a giant prison, that the dominant son could then use to slaughter all of his brothers when his father died. The country still broke out into civil war every decade, but no long over fratricide. This is to say nothing of the constant religious violence of the Muslims against literally everyone (and, to be fair, the Christians and Jews against each other and their Muslim oppressors) over incredibly minor doctrinal points.

One of which was the fact that the Ottoman Empire was run by alcoholic pederasts, Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Slavs, and Persians, all of whom completely rejected the Arabic cultural supremacy of Islam. For a long time, prayers were, as per state enforcement, done in Turkish, not Arabic, despite the Quran literally saying that prayer has to be done in Arabic.

Qutb's problem is that he hated niggers (this isn't the problem) and when he came to the US, his fellow boipucci enthusiasts recommended him to some good Muslims, who turned out to be Nation of Islam types. Qutb blew a gasket at the idea of nogs praying and making up all sorts of whacky bullshit and calling it Islam. Whenever Qutb talks about the decadence or corruption of the US, understand that half of what he's saying amounts to
>they let niggers lead prayer and say Muhammad was a black spaceman

This is not a defense of the US involvement in the Middle East (which, let's be honest, is just Israel existing by proxy), of course, but rather an explanation that the violence against a foreign body (The US, not Israel) was just directed at native bodies instead.

Lmao. The middle-east had peace and it had war just like everywhere else and like everywhere else the philosophies waxed and waned and degenerated and grew. In times of prosperity and peace some of these societies grew fat and liberal (fun fact: Turkey legalized homosexuality in 1868) and this is reflected in the historical record. Then times get hard and people turn to religion for guidance and you get islamic fundamentalism (ie "radical Islam") because being fat and liberal led their country to shit. You can see this in Afghanistan; it was doing pretty well for itself in the 20th century and then the Soviets invaded, it turned into a war-torn shithole and people turned back to the gospel of "REEEE FUCKING KUFFARS GET OUT OF MY MOUNTAINS" because that was what they knew and what served their interests at that time. Of course, the hard-liners didn't just relinquish power when the crisis passed and so here we are today.

>and so were Islamic beliefs.
Lmao. Islam was founded on unrelenting conquest and violence against anyone who refuses to convert and/or surrender their valuables and women. When that was no longer necessary because everyone around them was already muslim or too weak to conquer them, the "live by the sword" aspect became obviated and ideas softened. When living by the sword becomes necessary again, ideas harden and you're back to the equivalent of raiding merchants outside of Medina.

Islamic inheritance laws do not accept the possibility of Primogeniture; all sons share their father's possessions equally. Additionally, Islamic conceptions of sovereignty worked differently than Catholic ones. Essentially, an Islamic sovereign is on the one hand "just" a very rich man, but he's also the enforcer of Islam in an area. His position as the latter is purely a pragmatic one. There never develops a Divine Right of Kings because of this; a Sultan (a rough approximation of what a King would be; a Caliph is technically something more akin to a Warrior-Pope) is just "a guy". He gets some theological leeway in a lot of ways (for example, he can have unlimited wives; holy men also get this), but he's still "just a guy". His sovereignty is also only ever guaranteed by the personal force he can levy, whereas in Europe kingship was legally and, at least theoretically, spiritually, endowed in an individual.

That "unlimited wives" thing came to be a problem because you had to have a male heir, but every birth has a 50% chance of being a woman, AND marriages were expected for the purposes of alliances. And if you weren't impregnating someone's daughter, you were in trouble. So the entire Islamic world had a constant problem of Surplus Men. This isn't a bad thing, because you just give them weapons and tell them to go fuck off and spread Islam by the sword, but when you run out of places to do that (or lack the capacity to gather up all of the Surplus Men in your territory), those men who can't get laid who have no prospects in life quickly become a problem.

They also have a habit of joining whacky religious sects. ISIS, and all Islamic fundamentalist groups (not all "Islamic Terrorism" is this, such as the Taliban, which technically follows Pashtun Nationalism), are composed of two types of people: goat fuckers who have been taking potshots at foreigners since Alexander marched through their territory and dunecoon incels being used as cannon fodder by them.

Afghanistan didn't make Islam violent, rather it revived transnationalism and jihad as ideas, whereas before they had mostly erased by massive colonialist pozzing.

The Ottomans really had the most issues because they tried to modernize, for example they legalized sodomy in the 19ty Century. They incurred serious anger. They were also extremely brutal, contrary to most narratives they were actually harsher than even ISIS which as far as we know gives protection to Christians who pay jizya whereas the Ottomans continually kicked them around. Not due to fanaticism of course because they kicked around Muslims too. Nonetheless they did help keep things relatively unified.

The civil war you portray was not constant and actually pretty mild compared to the Roman Empire.

The Ottomans did the prayer in Arabic, the call to prayer was forcibly switched to Turkish under Kemalism until he died. The Ottomans wrote in Arabic script. The rulers were corrupt but there was quite an Islamic culture outside the decadent

Qutb hated jazz, which he associated with primitive Africa, but the song that disgusted him was Baby it's cold outside played at a dance of white school teachers who were his peers, he called it jazz which it is. He didn't have any serious disgust with black people and actually considering Islam opposed to nationalism saying the first Islamic state had Arabs, blacks, Persians and Romans (whites)

A khalifah has full authority unless he orders something haram. He has the right to choose his successor, the original ones were not corrupt so they didn't choose sons, but most did later. If he forgoes Shari'ah he becomes illegitimate otherwise his power must be respected. He has to be confirmed by a shura of scholars who give bay'ah, the oath of loyalty

The remembrance of the 50s in the US is a weird thing. In a sense the 1950s represent the Garden of Eden of modern consumerism. It is the time when new consumer technologies started rolling around and be widely adopted and the only time when technological development looked like it might not entirely upend the social order. The only time when technology, economy and the general society walked at the same pace and seemingly towards a brighter future. Also : political and social stability, a clearly defined racial hierarchy, significantly higher level of ethnic homogeneity, apparent harmony and lack of internal conflict between institutions and citizenry, effortless economic prosperity, social trust and cohesion . All things which contemporary America sorely lacks. The mistake here is a failure to understand the causality - this supposed lost Eden was never something that could be maintained in a steady-state but rather it was a transitional phase in the development of capital/modernity. It's an illusion to see departure from it as a lapse, of norms and standards and values, when the event itself was a side-effect of productive forces in the arc of capitalism's/modernity's development toward globalization.

Its romanticization is therefore a very understandable, if severely misguided phenomenon.

I think of the two of us you're the one who has willful and blatantly made up nonsense like the Ottomans praying in Turkish

The goal with dhimmis is to woo them to Islam, so yes they gain a good deal of protection, this is why St. Catherine's monastery of Mount Sinai still keeps Muhammad's ﷺ dhimmi contract, because to this day has kept them safe from harm (monks who enter into dhimmi status are not required to pay anything l, unlike private citizens, they just have to not incite war against the Muslims or participate or aid such war).

>It's interesting because here in Hungary we're taught that although being a dhimmi was hardly a pleasant experience anywhere and anytime, ottomans were the only muslims who managed to calm their autism about christians and jews to the point where they understood the importance of not chimping out about them constantly if they wanted to keep expanding their empire.

You can be taught that but your national experience wouldn't have taught you better. The reason Salahuddin was so respected by Christians is because he was very fair in subjugated ones. Sure he often beheaded captive knights, but he was very religious unlike the Ottomans

You are way overestimating the inevitability of such transformations. It is always easy to pretend, after the fact, that things were doomed from the start. The post 1950s societal transformations were not some external constrains put by "consumerism", they were a series of choices, entirely contingent. Germany fell for ultra consumerism too and followed quite a different path, so did Singapore, etc.
The problem of the 1950s were different and even more fundamental. Even had the post 1950s turned into the Jetsons World instead of the gay negro worship, it would still be condemnable. There is a lot of similarity between those glorifying the 1950s in the US and Japan recently (even outside anime weebooism). Those countries are cohesive (because homogeneous), functional, with lower rates of various issues, etc. They are still both utterly soulless.

The 1950s is the "Baseline state" of post-WWII America. It's like the Garden of Eden, essentially: the earliest point in time in which the world can possibly make sense. American history officially begins with the Holocaust, and the 1950s are America's reward for stopping the Holocaust.

Ameicans as such cannot help but view it as the standard and the norm, as it is what America is at its core. It is the Platonic Form of America.

The creeping, horrid, sinking truth is that Blacks aren't actually Africans at all: They're Irish. This isn't a meme, essentially all of "Black Culture" is just heavily consumerist Irish culture. Even fucking rap music ultimately derives from Irish ballads. Blacks exist as a way to codify a class distinction, not a racial one (which the Puritan origins of American Liberalism completely reject the very possibility of). In order to get around this, creating a racial under class requires creating an economic under class. Are Blacks at the bottom because they're poor, or are the people at the bottom poor because they're Black? The answer to both is "yes". This is necessary to defend the institution as a whole, because it means that the problem can never be resolved except through the destruction of "Blackness". The racial angle means Blacks can never be economically uplifted, and the class angle means that Blacks can never be racially uplifted.

No, it's because blacks have an average IQ of 85 so only ~2.5% of them can become Educated Upper Crust. If the US wanted them to be antisocial criminals why does it spend so much money on black upliftment initiatives?

In the majority of the world lines are drawn based on ethnicity and cultural background, so that is not surprising. A south African has not much in common with a west african and they will gladly tell you that. The US is fairly odd with their racial divide.

I didn't imply it isn't a good thing. Just that it's not even close to enough to glorify a place, time and people. Some morons in Papua have societal cohesion (inb4 primitivism or tedniggers).
>I am curious though how in your mind the US chose its fate in this way.
They chose it when they refused to enforce their own homogeneity. That societal cohesion rested on migration restriction, bullying the migrants allowed into conforming, and isolating segments of the US population that wouldn't fit that cohesion (mainly segregating blacks).
I know some here are prone to push the narrative of every societal decision being consumerism in disguise (as opposed to Jews who, if anything, would be a slightly more realistic culprit), but no amount of dialectical bullshit will show a hard link between the two. Many eastern countries have fallen even deeper into consumerism while keeping or even increasing the consciousness of their cohesion.
It may seem inevitable in the sense that only few people explicitly decided for things to turn out this way, to the rest it came passively.

Yeah, but in their case there's even the fact that they unwillingly get washed together in the eyes of non-blacks solely because both african and american negroes are of a similar colour. Most african negroes IME absolutely detest everything that has to do with the ghetto gangbanger shit that most people associate with blacks, although there's definitely a class divide thing going on since the blacks leaving africa to study and whatnot usually come from the richer classes of their respective countries.

They do though, they are just better at not being busted by the cops.

>Another thing that struck me was the great influence of the Negro, a psychological influence naturally, not due to the mixing of blood. The emotional way an American expresses himself, especially the way he laughs, can best be studied in the illustrated supplements of the American papers; the inimitable Teddy Roosevelt laugh is found in its primordial form in the American Negro. The peculiar walk with loose joints, or the swinging of the hips so frequently observed in Americans, also comes from the Negro. American music draws its main inspiration from the Negro, and so does the dance. The expression of religious feeling, the revival meetings, the Holy Rollers and other abnormalities are strongly influenced by the Negro. The vivacity of the average American, which shows itself not only at baseball games but quite particularly in his extraordinary love of talking – the ceaseless gabble of American papers is an eloquent example of this – is scarcely to be derived from his Germanic forefathers, but is far more like the chattering of a Negro village. The almost total lack of privacy and the all-devouring mass sociability remind one of primitive life in open huts, where there is complete identity with all members of the tribe.

Doesn't change the fact that it's an open secret that Arabs consider themselves a superior race of people since Gabriel decided to reveal himself to Muhammad.

Generally speaking it has to do with level of piety. Less religious Arabs look down on others, more religious ones don't, that's why you have people like Bin Laden who moved away from Saudi Arabia because he said they were too decadent and lived in Sudan and built roads for then etc and then if course he was loved in Afghanistan. Secularist leaning Arabs are more nationalist and see themselves as Arab first, Muslim second
