Clearly, liberalism has only come as a half-assed solution and has failed in completely solving any real problem, which is endemic to capitalism.

These so-called liberal democracies have only recently come around on lgbt issues, they separate church and state only technically (many politicians are undoubtedly influenced by religion), democracy is representative (and therefore no real democracy at all), and money has been deemed a form of "speech."

The whole thing is collapsing and we need to find a new solution to the problems liberalism could not adequately resolve. For this, we're going to need to explore alternatives.

Read The Green Book, The Quran, and The Communist Manifesto. Do some thinking.

For religious, try the Qur'an, Sahih Bukhari.

If you want original authors, look at the early medieval Muslim philosophers, e.g. Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Ibn Khaldoun, etc.

For poetry try Omar Khayyam, google Ottoman literature, but a I personally like Magtymguly Pyragy from 18th c. Turkmenistan.

Modern stuff: Naguib Mahfouz, Mahmud Tarzi, Sadegh Hedayat, Iwan Simatupang, Namik Kemal, Ahmed Zaki Abu Shadi, Yasar Kemal, Orhan Pamuk, Furuzan, Mesa Selimovic, Ebrahim Al-Arrayedh, Abdelwahab Meddeb, Taha Hussein.

There are many more but check Turkish, Persian and Egyptian literature in particular. You'll find a lot to work with.

Good luck.

Trump is a 70 year old man who got lucky by getting the consent of selective portions of a country's population by rules established by people 200 years ago. To have any respect for Trump's victory, I'm going to have to have respect for the Founder's of this country, and I don't.

If you consent to be governed by Trump, you deserve whatever he does to you, bu the truth of the matter is that the majority of the country abstained from voting in the 2016 election. But the system rolls on. We MUST have a president, even if most of us refused to participate in this game of representative democracy. Lion of the West? Trump couldn't impose his authority on 2 of us at the same time.

He's had like 5 failed marriages and depends on inherited money to get women. (buying furniture? Really?? xD) What type of biological kin survival do you think this man has, really?

The man is evidence that we need eugenics now more than ever. People like Trump ought to be sterilized.

There's nothing wrong with being an apologist. It's just a guy that explains the religion. All religions have scholars and all texts have to be "interpreted." It isn't some new age postmodern shit to interpret stuff. It's the way it's always been, if not there would be no sheiks, rabbis, priests, or monks.

Actually neither. Virtually all theorems and proofs used for the creation of algebra was done by the Babylonians and Persians. Bedouins simply conquered those lands in the 7th century and claimed credit for those inventions as their own (see destruction of museums/temples/artifacts in Syria as a method of erasing history)

But I do get a taste of foreign cultures. I'm not from the US. I speak, read, and write in multiple languages. And the word you should've used in your argument is 'exotic', not 'foreign', as they're not perfect synonyms. Regardless, what I was implying is that your timeline is finite. And quite short for that matter. A couple of decades. Even less when you consider how much time you waste with sleeping and other activities. Now tell me, why should I even bother with reading something sub-par, when there are mountains of pages from actually progressive cultures, that have invested material and intellectual efforts in accumulating and disseminating more knowledge and creating masterpieces which have lasted for centuries (some of them even for millennia), and will continue to be studied and discussed in higher education and considered to be the paragon of achievement in Humanities, whether you come from EU, NA, or any developed nation. And this can also be proven factually, by the numbers of translations being released and reissued each year. So now you have to chose between being honest with yourself, trying to improve your condition, learning from the masters vs. scoring some shallow feel-good points, saying that you're nonracial on your résumé, bragging to your friends how hip and tolerant you are with every occasion you have, etc. To finally conclude, yes, I don consider myself to be enlightened, since I value my freedom (and the freedom to chose what I consider worthy of my time), instead of some backwards Sharia law that is incompatible (and in some cases hostile) with my culture. It would be retarded for me to do so (and I can use the word 'retarded' in this context, because it means 'regressive', 'foolish'). What artistic merit is there in a country that bans all artistic expression unless it's some ridiculous line generated pattern, because "God said so." And I'm not even going to mention the extreme nature of ruining statues and artifacts in the name of Allah.

tl;dr If there's something you should learn from literature, then: don't bend over; promote and value quality over anything else; cherish and protect the values given to you by your ancestors who suffered to get them to you now.

If it is Islamic /lit/ it was written for Muslims, or to provoke a conversion.

Islam is a religious ideology, and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with immigration.

What if he was a muslim when he wrote the book? What if he was a muslim up until the day before he began writing Cyclonopedia? What if he was a muslim when he wrote the book and then renounced the day he finished? What if he wasn't a muslim when he wrote the book but was during every other instant of his life?

Do you see how ridiculous this is? The guy grew up muslim, lived in the middle east, coherently engages the religion and its culture in most of his work. He has both a personal and theoretical knowledge of the religion and may or may not currently be a muslim (mostly likely not) - this does in no way make my recommendation not relevant to the topic.

This could use some kind of text that focuses solely on the period of Muhammad's life and the first few decades of Islam. From a historical perspective it is rather boring but it's very valuable to understand the actual story of prophethood in the same way you can for Judaism or Christianity. Sadly despite Islam having equal emphasis on a prophet story the Quran is not arranged in a way to tell that story to you, it's arranged as if someone took a roll of film, cut it into pieces of various lengths, threw out 95% of the film, and then rearranged the remaining parts into a compilation like a 3 minute long movie trailer. Gaining an understanding of what is going on while specific versed are being read goes a long way to help comprehension and while study Qurans often provide some context it is much easier to understand that context if you have an existing framework to plug individual events into. Many educated Muslims are versed heavily on this period in schooling, especially anyone who is considered a scholar, so having some working knowledge will help you in the same way reading a Bible or starting with the Greeks will help you understand European authors better.
