I've been using this greentext a lot lately in response to people's analysis of the attack on Qatar. It captures the situation quite well I think

It's so amazing to see that Muslims on legacy social media are just casually calling others to use Linux instead of windows due to Microsoft's involvement in supporting Israel. I think we'll start to see a large influx of Muslims on Nostr a lot sooner than we think. Let's keep posting and building so we can have a space that's more than just coal and endless aqida debates. We want to have a semi welcoming space for when our brothers and sisters arrive here inshaAllah.

I have a page set up for Anti-Riba Money on the Bitcoin Majlis website. Check it out: https://bitcoinmajlis.org/anti-riba-money/

I’ve noticed that many Muslim critics of Bitcoin, especially maximalism, seem more upset with our grounding in Austrian economics than with Bitcoin itself. It’s odd really. Why treat it like a scandal that someone studies an economics discipline built on a priori axioms of human action? Is it really so offensive to assert something as basic as Hoppe’s formulation in Democracy: "Human action is an actor's purposeful pursuit of valued ends with scarce means. No one can purposefully not act. Every action is aimed at improving the actor's subjective well-being above what it otherwise would have been. A larger quantity of a good is valued more highly than a smaller quantity of the same good. Satisfaction earlier is preferred over satisfaction later. Production must precede consumption." I honestly don’t get it. Why would anyone be appalled by this framework for thinking about economics? It’s such a strange hill to die on for critics of Muslim Bitcoiners.

Man, I just missed this! Hopefully there's a recording of it... View quoted note →

Great introduction to nostr for Muslims. Worth bookmarking and sharing with normies on legacy social media. View article →

This book is required reading. I cite it a lot in my book because it provides so much foundational material for approaching Economic theory and history. View quoted note →

The Islamic Argument for Competence

Why we need to stop being losers, period

Really good read. From seeing the drama on MT the last few days, I've become less harsh toward Muslim Keynesians/socialists because in general, they at least want material prosperity (though of course I heavily disagree with their methods 🙂) for muslims. I didn't realize how big a segment of biomass legit want Muslims to not be economically prosperous and industrially competent. That group is way more dangerous, and I now see the true utility of the mines.

For those that want to buy the eBook using bitcoin over the lightning network, I set up a @Zaprite page here:

I made it 20% off compared to the Amazon eBook price. You get both an EPUB and a PDF copy of the book. Note: you might have to wait for a few minutes to a few hours to receive your eBook since I'm processing these orders manually. View quoted note →

This essay is worth reading. The potential for marketplaces to use lightning, ecash, and nostr is massive and we're barely scratching at the surface for what's possible View article →

More and more Muslims are making the Digital Hijra to Linux and using open source software! The movement to boycott windows and big tech is hopefully starting to catch on! You can sign up for the webinar here: bio.lubabacademy.com/ethicaltech

One of the cool things about using Linux is that so many tasks can be accomplished by just typing a line in the command line. Like, sure, you could pull up the associated program and click through menus to find what you're looking for, but the command line is just so smooth. I was trying to add the cover to the PDF of the book. But the cover was a jpg. So i had to convert it to PDF and then append it to front of the book. This can be easily accomplished by using the command: convert cover.jpg cover.pdf Then use the following to append it to book PDF: pdfunite cover.pdf book.pdf final-book.pdf Bam. I now have a PDF of the book with the cover. I need to get more familiar with the command line. Really cool stuff.

Interesting reading list posted by Abu Z as suggestions instead of reading Edward Said I haven't read Said or any of these but the titles seemed interesting enough for me to include in my reading list in the future:

Apparently there's quite a shitstorm brewing over on Muslim X from the original post because many Muslims that are critics of modernity are losing their shit over Muslims supposedly being in awe of the grandeur of the west. They (the critics) see the technological development of the west as a negative thing and that we shouldn't strive to imitate the west in their advancement. Its been interesting to watch 😁

Getting closer! We just need to encourage our scholars to continue down the Hallaqian path and call for not paying taxes and not use fiat money 😏
