Oman is widely perceived as a moderate and forward-looking Muslim state that practices a more tolerant form of Islam known as Ibadism, distinct from both Sunni and Shia traditions. Historically, this has fostered a culture of religious tolerance, a largely violence-free society and a tradition of peace diplomacy, earning Oman the nickname “the Switzerland of the Middle East.” Hamam al-Hammami, the co-pilot of FlyDubai Flight 1073, was radicalized not in Oman but in Syria, where, with a Syrian mother and Omani father, he grew up amid the prolonged Western-supported civil war against the Assad regime. The covert campaign against Assad, which began during the Barack Obama presidency, became the CIA’s largest covert operation since its 1980s “jihad” against Soviet forces in Afghanistan — a campaign that helped give rise to Al Qaeda and figures such as Osama bin Laden. Co-pilot Hammami’s attempt to bring down Flight 1073 by attacking the captain with a crash ax is the latest example of how Western replacement of secular dictators (from Iraq and Libya to Syria) with more Islamist alternatives can come back to haunt international security. Even the 1979 “Islamic Revolution” in Iran had its roots in the CIA’s 1953 overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, a secular, democratically elected nationalist leader who famously nationalized Iran's oil industry, which had previously been controlled by the British Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now BP).

This is the problem with right-wing ecosytem of India. Every personal, individual accomplishment is promoted as an achievement of their Supreme Leader. And Supreme Leader too promotes it on social media in a big way by even providing link to people to access the conversation. @navikakumar (This right-wing idealogue has blocked me).

ಇಂದು ಮೈಸೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಡಳಿತದ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ನಿವಾಸಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗಮಿಸಿ, ವಿಶ್ವವಿಖ್ಯಾತ ಮೈಸೂರು ದಸರಾಗೆ ಆತ್ಮೀಯವಾಗಿ ಆಹ್ವಾನಿಸಿದರು. ಈ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಆಹ್ವಾನವನ್ನು ಸಂತೋಷದಿಂದ ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸಿದೆ. ಬಾಲ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ತಂದೆಯ ಹೆಗಲ ಮೇಲೆ ಕೂತು ಮೈಸೂರು ದಸರಾವನ್ನು ಕಣ್ತುಂಬಿಕೊಂಡ ನೆನಪು ಇಂದಿಗೂ ನನ್ನ ಮನದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಸಿರಾಗಿದೆ. ದಸರಾ ಎಂದರೆ ನನ್ನ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ಕೇವಲ ಒಂದು ಉತ್ಸವವಲ್ಲ, ಅದು ನಮ್ಮ ನಾಡಿನ ಶ್ರೀಮಂತ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ, ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ, ಪರಂಪರೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ಕಣ್ತುಂಬಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯ ಸಂದರ್ಭ. ಬಾಲ್ಯದ ಆ ನೆನಪುಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಈ ಬಾರಿಯ ದಸರಾ ಆಹ್ವಾನವನ್ನೂ ಅದೇ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂತೋಷದಿಂದ ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸಿದೆ.

It was a pleasure listening to this conversation between two leading opinion makers. Thanks to @sardesairajdeep & Dr @Ram_Guha.

So, PM began visiting ghats. He never did that for PM Nehru. @sardesairajdeep

I want to speak Urdu like this someday man. Sounds gorgeous.

Congratulations and Best wishes to Anju K.S., the new District Collector of Thiruvananthapuram, (left in the first picture), as she assumes her new duties today. With the district set to witness several key projects, I would like to wish her all success in her new role. And I would also like to convey my thanks & best wishes to the outgoing Collector, Anu Kumari, (left in the second picture), for her leadership and her active role in spearheading compassionate projects like Collector Super 100, Project Aksharam etc. I wish her the very best in all her future endeavours in public service.

#GoaElections Floating of a new party "Goa Congress Party" by so called Cong rebels is a ploy to split Cong votes allegedly at the behest of ruling BJP. Congress party in Goa is always referred to as 'Goa Congress' and yet ECI is taking its own sweet time to decide the merit of this case. @ECISVEEP

No wonder @Pawankhera addressed him as "Gyanesh Kumar Gupta". @sardesairajdeep "If you can't discuss his merit, discuss his caste".

Replacement of one set of inefficient lot with another useless lot will not solve the problem.

#SIR We all need to undertake a brief study of SIR-2003. That SIR too happened under a BJP Govt led by PM Vajpayee. SIR-2003 is a benchmark for SIR-2026. SIR-2003 happened when J M Lyngdoh was CEC and no one protested or complained, either the ruling BJP nor the Cong led oppn. In what way was SIR-2003 different from SIR-2026 if it was different? @sardesairajdeep @virsanghvi @PreetiChoudhry @ashutosh83B @ashoupadhyay @AshokLavasa @PalshikarSuhas @jgopikrishnan70 @AdityaMenon22 @NilanjanUdwin @vipinpubby @sanjayuvacha @DrSYQuraishi @_YogendraYadav @mkvenu1

Reminds me of E M S Namboodiripad. Kerala CM's wife too used to be a believer despite her husband being an atheist & Leftist. @sardesairajdeep @sumanthraman

स्वीडनच्या संसदेवर नुकत्याच निवडून आलेल्या नीला विखे पाटील यांनी काका मंत्री राधाकृष्ण विखे पाटील आणि चुलत भाऊ माजी खासदार सुजय विखे पाटील यांच्यावर सडकून प्रहार केला आहे. त्यांनी पीटीआयशी बोलताना सांगितले की, गेल्या एका दशकात माझा माझ्या काकांशी किंवा चुलत भावाशी कोणताही संपर्क आलेला नाही. मी नियमितपणे भारतात येत असते. आता, खासदार म्हणून माझी निवड झाल्यानंतर, त्यांना माझ्या यशाचा फायदा स्वतःसाठी करून घ्यायचा आहे, असा टोला त्यांनी लगावला. #NilaVikhePatil #SujayVikhePatil #RadhakrishnaVikhepatil #Maharashtra #LatestNews (Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, Nila Vikhe Patil, Sujay Vikhe Patil, Maharashtra)
