Crossposting from "Islamism & Islamophobia Abroad - News & Analysis (9-8-2014)" Thread Kufrophobia Islamophobia is an accusation used by Muslims and Left-Liberals used at the slightest of criticisms. However nobody really speaks of Kufrophobia among Muslims, which is Islam's intri...

Here is a debate on CNN between Carl Higbie, an ex-Navy Seal and Trump supporter and Perry O'Brien, founder of #VetsAgainstHate talking about Islamophobia.

Shows how the mood in USA is turning.

Agnimitra ji,

thanks for the information. A follow up question here.

RajeshA

Agnimitra ji,

Would you be having any references to pre-Achaemenid Iran which used to worship more Mithra than Zarathustra?

svinayak guru, Donald Trump has ensured that the left-liberal US media simply loses its bombast and its ability to talk down to other countries. Before NYT and WaPo and HuffPo can go again preach to the world, they would first have to exorcise the Trump ghost, and that itself can take many many yea...

The issue is rather one of whether we prevail working against the wind or with wind in our sails. There is a whole host of "small cuts" USA can support against India, made by China, Pakistan and a host of groups within India, just to keep us down. A more friendly or even a less-obsessed d...

However, extrapolation works very well in social sciences and sciences. In pure politics, it is good to keep that sort of info in the back pocket - one will need it for sure - but as times change so do the behavior of politicians. Just for the record I said "lean", not "pro" Ind...

There could only have been one of two results - a) A proper debate leading to a Sanders win : Bernie isn't getting the Democratic nomination (that would be a disaster for the Trump campaign) and he's also not going to go back on his pledge to support Clinton in the general election. A loss would ho...

Hillary Clinton will not be anti-India. In fact she lean towards India. But, since by nature she gets her way, I see her as being impatient. But she will not outwit someone like Modi. I think the Donald will get along with India very well. Perhaps not all the time. I see India doing very well , mos...

The word Chabahar comes from the Hindustani word, char, which means four, and bahar, which means spring. True to its name, it is an all-season but cool port located in Baluchistan and Sistan province of Iran. The 10th century scholar and historian, Al-Beruni, identifies Chabahar from its earlier na...

RajeshA, (My searching abilities within BRF are limited). I recall that in old OIT thread, there was a mention (either by RajeshA or someone else) of some reference to Zaratushtra for ~6000 BCE (from some other book). 1) I have kind of lost the exact references in Mahabharata, as the images I poste...

Something that I would welcome is an etymology dictionary of Persian words with their Sanskrit counterparts and origins. Question is whether Persian or Iranian can themselves be considered a Prakrit. That way, Iranians can themselves be seen as an extension of Indic, at least linguistically, and he...

The Slavic word "Glava" which means head most probably derives from "grīva" which means neck, as in Hayagrīva (हयग्रीव).

So

Triglavi <= Trigrīva

Triglavi means Three heads.

Interesting prophecy

RajeshA

With Bernie Sanders on the ticket, the Democratic ticket too would be going for big money, as Clinton would be dictating that. Even if he is not on the ticket, the Democrats would be taking big donations. Only difference with Trump is that even if he takes money from others, people know that being ...

For Indians what is relevant to know is that during Bill Clinton's time we had Robin Raphel running amock in her support for Kashmiri Azaadi, and that Hillary Clinton sent clandestinely an "investigation team" into Gujarat to go dig up graves of Muslims killed by Modi in 2002. The Clintons...

For single issue (trade protectionist) Bernie voters, yes. For protest voters, maybe a few. For progressives, no. Nobody with a socially progressive agenda is going to be voting Trump. Especially with Sanders on the Dem ticket. There are some ideological purists and many many more who follow them w...

A situation that will revert to normal only after Clinton sews up her primary, which should happen around two weeks from now.

In fact, I expect a backlash from blacks against the Democrats for trying to force-feed it to them that he is a racist, when he clearly is not.

He deliberately built his coalition around a core segment that included the KKK & white nationalists. That's not going to be forgotten come November. Not in a country where 31% of the voting population is non-white. ... That's the hope . That people will forget who he was before he received the...

As far as blacks are concerned, in white American society, it has been an evolution of acceptance. If we go by the standard you're espousing, one can say the prominent ancestors of all whites were slave-masters. As an Indian, I don't mind using such a brush to paint them, but then one cannot single...

Hispanics can decide how they feel about being described as 'rapists', 'criminals' and 'drug dealers'. Blacks can decide whether a man who refused to repudiate the KKK's endorsement after lying about never having heard of its leader (David Duke).

However as far as your question is concerned, all one can say is that the combination of ignorance and preening overconfidence is dangerous. Economically and politically.
