The more I get hyped about the Pttoman empire the more things I learn about Islam. I always avoided it for many reasons like being a proud #Pagan (my main god is Poseidon/Sea gods, that will never change). I especially like the connections to pre Islamic religions and how the famous crescent moon are very old with pagan roots. The light of the Moon is a truly blessed thing so Islams connection to Moon worship makes me respect it MORE. #Islam #OttomanStudies
The more I have been researching the Ottoman Empire without a bias the more I am convinced of the source of modern Islamic Toxicity; that being Palestine and Israel. I firmly believe post and prior to these two entities and their endless conflicts Islam permanently changed. The Ottomans & their world is so different from today. It’s just a shame… #OttomanStudies #politics #islam

For a start, try searching on #Geospatial #GeospatialConnections #Ottoman #OttomanEmpire #OttomanStudies #Linux (or add a bunch of specialities after the keyword).

Etc.

Post an #introduction post and include those (and more) hashtags. This is because Mastodon only searches posts for hashtags, not other words. You can then pin that post so that it is the first thing people see when they check out your profile.

Trying to activate this group @islamicstudies again .. for the three or four of us on here 😬 working in this field. Any other (and broader) ideas for building such a group? I am not really into #mustafidons .. sorry, folks!

For newcomers: When you follow a group, you will receive all posts in which other users have mentioned that group in your home feed. The group is not moderated, the posts are automatically reposted.
