I try not to think. The book is a remarkable and audacious project and some members of the Royal family must be in a cold sweat - Andrew for one.You know when you have had a glass too many of wine, and the “Send” button becomes 10 times bigger and is lit on its edges by neon purple, flashing LED’s? Well, couple that with Harry’s dotingly saying to Megs, “This is great Meghan, now press ‘send’”, and you have the analogy. In this case, was he drunk on love?Before I was older, some of the things I used to spout forth were knaw-the-knee embarrassing. Of course, in the transit between youth and middle age, one journies through those formative years with the honest belief that one is a big deal - a person to listen to, even though one did not know what one did not know. Empirical wisdom - oh how I wish I’d had some.This is a seminal moment for Harry. When he dressed up as a Nazi, he hardly had the experience to judge (or he is stupid, or both). Now, however, time shall be less kind as the years of his being an HRH become trite, diluted and meaningless. IF he (by association) ‘outs’ members of his own family, and especially Her Majesty, then I truly fear that the British public and press shall damage him to the irreparable point. Not even Wallace Simpson did this, not even Camilla, whose head was on England’s chopping block for years. It’s almost like Megs is saying that she’ll rock the royal yacht so that people understand that she must sink the ship, so the proletariat understands her plight. It’s Marie Antoinette all over again.If this is a book that seriously undermines the firm, then I fear for Meghan. I fear for her life even. The British are seriously balanced people but A) Attack Queen and country or B) Wilfully show shallow and superficial understanding of the complex British establishment, well, time to sign up for witness protection. Britain is a seriously generous and forgiving nation, but don’t bite off the hand that feeds you.The problem with fame and adulation (that which Meghan so so wants) is that it is often fleeting, and schadenfreude brings down those who tread where angels fear. Fame is like alcohol - you cannot have it all day, every day. Sometimes you have to take a break and look yourself in the mirror before doing the dishes. Those who believe in their own fame forget that. It’s fickle, and if you chase it, it will screw you worse than heroin. You do not choose fame, it chooses you and Megs has not grasped that. Even though she has fame, for Meghan, it’s the wrong kind. Best Actress in the Royal Family is not yet an honor.There’s something amiss with this pretty lady, and I fear for her. She lacks that which keeps us grounded. I love acting, I have been in numerous professional gigs and have experienced Hollywood first hand. It’s fun and I love being in the zone, but you know, once the curtain comes down or the film wraps, that is it. It’s over. I was not about to write a book entitled, “Reasons why I am not an International Star”, why? Because I am fine in my own skin and I like doing the dishes, ask my wife! I tasted a small piece of ‘success’ and what fun it was, but that was my 15 minutes.This book will sell millions of copies, which is fine. However, a diary is not for the public domain and our inner-most thoughts, for self-preservation reasons, are best left untold.She will continue to chase the dragon, but somehow, I think the dragon may be breathing its fire sometime soon.

Yes, but people don’t like the answer that I give because it’s not the one they want to hear.I’ve been on Quora for several years and sound like a broken record when I talk about Islam. A lot of my answers are similar and likewise a lot of the responses I recieve are similar as well. A very common argument being:“Ahmed, surely you understand that Islamophobia, if it exists, is mostly because of you Muslims and your poor behavior!”And I get it.I’m a Quranist after all and here are the headlines coming out of Egypt for fellow adherents:Forbidden Belief: Report on the Imprisonment of Quranist Blogger Reda Abdel-Rahman - Association of Freedom of Thought and ExpressionView in PDF Written and edited by the Research Unit of AFTE Material collected with the help of AFTE’s Legal Aid Unit   Content Methodology Introduction Preface: A Muslim Minority in a Muslim-Majority Country First: Quranist Blogger Reda Abdel-Rahman… Endless Targeting Second: Free Expression of Belief and Religion… May it be Described as Terrorism?

This question came to my mind when I read that the police had arrested Quranists. Have the police turned into a Mutawa (Saudi Arabia’s religious police)?https://egyptindependent.com/mistaken-crusade-against-quranists-and-baha-i/The first and third stories occurred under Egypt’s supposedly secular tolerant dictator, General Sisi.General Sisi (r. 2014- present) is depicted as a tolerant secular strongman who fits the Western belief that Muslims need dictators to keep them in line. However all General Sisi does is engage in PR play that caters to foreign audiences. It’s true that Christians aren’t persecuted by the State anymore and that’s good. However General Sisi has intensified persecution of Quranists instead. Which is not good.Now despite this I don’t give into Islamophobia, I don’t go on vitriolic tirades against Egypt, Sunnism or even General Sisi. I try to present a fair and neutral picture of all three when I write.Why don’t I when I have reason to be furious?This is because Islamophobia is mostly caused by two things:A continuation of past hatred dressed up with modern justificationsDislike and Fear of outsidersWe’re discussing the first one here, not the second one.You see, I enjoy studying Moroccan historyWhich forces me to read of how 19th and 20th century Europeans intensely despised Muslims. Now to be fair, it was the reverse as well. Ancient and Medieval Moroccan scholars didn’t have good things to say about Europe but since we’re on the topic of Islamophobia I’m talking about Europe.Take Hubert LyauteyHubert Lyautey was Morocco’s first colonial governor, he ran Morocco from 1912 to 1927 and he is credited by Historians as being a very tolerant and ambitious man. I even have an answer exalting him for this reason.One of the reasons why he is praised is because he had a secret war against Islamophobia. In the 1910s and 1920s. Before large numbers of migrants went to France. Now some might say:“But Ahmed!!! It’s about differing values!”France didn’t let women have bank accounts without their husband’s permission before the 1960s. I seriously doubt that the French in the 1910s and 1920s were all that concerned about women’s rights. The source of the hatred came from various places such as cultural superiority, the White man’s burden, a reaction to losses incurred in occupying Morocco.Such as the Zayane war where Berber tribes killed several thousand French soldiers in the 1910s as well as the assassination of colonial agents in the early 1900s.Another example if the Spanish defeat at Annal in 1921. After being defeated at Annual, the Spanish army collapsed and fled with Riffian Muslim rebels in hot pursuit. In the map you see red crosses which is where groups of Spanish soldiers were captured or surrendered only to then be executed.So when General Lyautey proposed introducing public education and healthcare to Morocco, he received a roar of laughter from Paris as it perceived Moroccans as an inferior people. Too stupid for public education and too worthless for public healthcare.What is my point?General Lyautey’s opponents included men like General Augustin Guillaume who ran Morocco from 1951 to 1954. When France withdrew from Morocco, this Islamophobia and racism didn’t disappear.If you google a biography of General Guillaume online, the ending will not be:And after colonialism ended, General Guillaume mysteriously walked off into the sunset in the French countryside and was never seen again. To this day, historians do not know what happened to General Guillaume.No. General Guillaume returned to France where he had children, pursued a career in politics and spent the next few decades spreading his views until he died in 1983. His hatred didn’t disappear, he spread it which is why in France there was a large anti-racist movement such as the March of the Arabs in 1983.This argument that Islamophobia is caused by the behavior of modern Muslims is incorrect and tries to dress up and justify such hatredIt isn’t a modern phenomenon. It’s just a continuation of the past.Now you might then say:“Ok. If that’s really the case then why isn’t there a continuation of other past hatreds?! Like…. anti-Hindu and anti-Indian sentiment? The British weren’t always tolerant in India!”There is and was.Dotbusters - WikipediaThe Dotbusters was a hate group in Jersey City, New Jersey , that attacked and threatened Indians , particularly Hindus in the fall of 1987. The name originated from the fact that traditional Hindu women and girls wear Bindis on their foreheads. In July 1987, they had a letter published in The Jersey Journal [1] : 1 stating that they would take any means necessary to drive the Indians out of Jersey City: "I'm writing about your article during July about the abuse of Indian People. Well I'm here to state the other side. I hate them, if you had to live near them you would also. We are an organization called the Dotbusters. We have been around for 2 [ sic ] years. We will go to any extreme to get Indians to move out of Jersey City. If I'm walking down the street and I see a Hindu and the setting is right, I will hit him or her. We plan some of our most extreme attacks such as breaking windows, breaking car windows, and crashing family parties. We use the phone books and look up the name Patel. Have you seen how many of them there are? Do you even live in Jersey City? Do you walk down Central avenue and experience what its [ sic ] like to be near them: we have and we just don't want it anymore. You said that they will have to start protecting themselves because the police cannot always be there. They will never do anything. They are a week [ sic ] race Physically [ sic ] and mentally. We are going to continue our way. We will never be stopped." [2] Numerous racial incidents from vandalism to assault followed. Later that month, a group of youths attacked Navroze Mody, an Indian man of Parsi ( Zoroastrian ) origin, into a coma , after he had left the Gold Coast Café with his friend. Mody died four days later. The four convicted of the attack were Luis Acevedo, Ralph Gonzalez and Luis Padilla, who were convicted of aggravated assault; and William Acevedo, who was convicted of simple assault. [3] The attack was with fists and feet and with an unknown object that was described as either a baseball bat or a brick, and occurred after members of the group, which was estimated as being between ten and twelve youths, had surrounded Mody and taunted him for his baldness as either "Kojak" or "Baldie". [3] Mody's father, Jamshid Mody, later brought charges against the city and police force of Hoboken, New Jersey , claiming that "the Hoboken police's indifference to acts of violence perpetrated against Indian Americans violated Navroze Mody's equal protection rights" under the Fourteenth Amendment . [4] Mody lost the case; the court ruled that the attack had not been proven a hate crime , nor had there been proven any malfeasance by the police or prosecutors of the city. [4] A few days after the attack on Mody, another Indian was beaten into a coma; this time on a busy street corner in Jersey City Heights. The victim, Kaushal Saran, was found unconscious at Central and Ferry Avenues, near a city park and firehouse, according to police reports. Saran, a licensed phttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DotbustersIn the United States, an entire group emerged in the East Coast that dedicated itself to beating Hindus. Their name, Dotbusters, was in reference to the Hindu practice known as the Bindi. While the Dotbusters are gone now, their mission to beat Hindus isn’t.Here is a portion of their declaration of war on Hindus in America:"I'm writing about your article during July about the abuse of Indian People. Well I'm here to state the other side. I hate them, if you had to live near them you would also. We are an organization called the Dotbusters. We have been around for 2 years.

1. When India’s most wanted Dawood came inside the Indian dressing room. It happened when India was touring Sharjah in 1986.Dilip Vengsarkar revealed in a press conference that don Dawood Ibrahim came inside the Indian team dressing room and offered the players cars if they beat Pakistan in the final of the Sharjah tournament in 1986.Vengsarkar disclosed that Dawood entered the team’s dressing room as a businessman. However, Dawood was asked by India’s captain Kapil Dev to get out of the dressing room.Actor Mehmood was in Indian dressing room. Kapil Dev was not in the dressing room at that time because he had gone out to address the press conference. Dawood was introduced by actor Mehmood.No one recognized him. Mehmood introduced him to the cricketers as a big businessman from Dubai. Mehmood said he wants to announce a prize for them. Dawood said to them if you beat Pakistan tomorrow, everyone will get a car.When Kapil returned from the press conference he asked Dawood to get out.2.Do you know who is he?He is Sachin’s most ardent fan, Sudhir Kumar Chaudhry. There is an interesting incident about him.During the World Cup, Sudhir sported a kooky crown – a cheap replica World Cup trophy. Sudhir’s crowning moment came on April 2, 2011, the day India defeated Sri Lanka in the finals at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, to become the World Champions. Sachin Tendulkar himself signaled Sudhir who was sitting among the cheering Indian Fans, to come to the Indian dressing room and join the team celebrations. Tendulkar asked Zaheer Khan to bring the World Cup over. Tendulkar shook hands with Sudhir, hugged him and finally let him lift the cup from Zaheer’s hands. Tendulkar allowed Sudhir to hold the world cup along with him and he celebrated the occasion by posing for photographs. Sudhir chanted “India” as he lifted the ICC World Cup trophy.3.This incident happened when Rahul Dravid declared when Sachin was at 194 in Multan Test, 2004.Sachin after scoring his century at Multan, 2004Sachin was disappointed and upset but inside he was fuming and shocked. He made his way back to the dressing room and could sense that the whole team was surprised at the decision. Some of team-mates perhaps expected Sachin to throw his gear in the dressing room in disgust and create a scene. However, a player as a stature of Sachin didn’t do anything and he decided not to say a word to anyone about the incident.He calmly put his batting gear away and asked John Wright for a little time before he went out to field because he was feeling a little tight after batting for so long. Inside, he was fuming.Just as he was washing his face in the bathroom, John walked up to him and apologized. He was sorry about what had happened and said he had not been party to the decision. Sachin was surprised and said to him that as coach he was one of the decision-makers and there was no reason for him to be sorry if he believed in what had been done.Tendulkar told coach Wright that what has happened can’t be reversed now.After Wright, even regular skipper Ganguly came into apologize for the decision.Sachin said to Sourav that there is no point going over it anymore. But regardless of this, Rahul and Sachin remained good friends.Sachin has revealed all this in his biography.4.4. Steve Waugh Vs Parthiv PatelThe great Australian batsman Steve Waugh was playing the last test of his illustrious test career in Sydney. It was the fourth in the series between India and Australia. Steve Waugh was waging a great battle to save his country from defeat. The 19-year old Indian wicket keeper Parthiv Patel,just a new entrant into international Cricket,told Steve Waugh from behind the wickets, “Come on Steve,just one more of your popular slog sweeps before you quit.”Steve Waugh turned back and replied, ”look buddy, show a bit of respect, you were in nappies when I debuted eighteen years ago.”Later in the dressing room,the little Parthiv Patel was dressed up a little by his team mates, including Sachin Tendulkar for that unwanted comment against a great player called Steve Waugh.
