Confidence is not ‘they will like me’
Confidence is ‘I’ll be fine if they don’t’
Islam and Politics: Crash Course World History 216
In which John Green teaches you about how Islam has interacted with politics during it’s history, and how it continues to do so today. Islamist movements are in the news a lot lately, but how did that happen. John will point out that Islam has alway been tied to political movements. Mohammed was not only a religious leader, he led an empire. So how did this lead to modern movements like ISIS? Islam has traditionally been a pretty egalitarian religion, and its scriptures value peace, so it is surprising in a lot of ways that such a violent fundamentalist movement would come out of it. What is a caliphate? What is a Caliph? John will teach you all about it. Take it easy in the comments, y’all. Be kind and respectful to each other.
people who don’t interact with fandom and write about it in publications to say stuff like “and, you might want to sit down, but fandom is perVERSE!!! THEY WRITE ABOUT CHARACTERS HAVING SEX!! SOMETIMES EVEN MAKING THEM GAY” are so annoying. there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy (hamlet/horatio modern au, 5.7K, PWP light bondage)
