"Sword Verse" (Ayat as-Sayf)

• Surah At-Tawbah (9:5)

9:5

 

But once the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists ˹who violated their treaties˺ wherever you find them,1 capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them on every way. But if they repent, perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[The AI-generated Jihadist in the video's thumbnail looks familiar and reminds me of Ahmed al-Sharaa (appointed transitional president on January 29, 2025). Al-Sharaa previously used the nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani and led the opposition group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).]

1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre w

Tiananmen Square is a large public city center in Beijing, China, famous both as a historic cultural landmark and as the site of the tragic 1989 pro-democracy protests and military crackdown.

The 1989 Protests and Crackdown

Sparked in April 1989 by student-led mourning for reformist leader Hu Yaobang. Grew into massive demonstrations calling for free speech, press freedom, and an end to corruption. Suppressed on June 3–4, 1989, when the military cleared the area using armed troops and tanks, causing widespread casualties. Immortalized globally by "Tank Man," an unidentified civilian who blocked a column of tanks. 

Censorship and Status Today
The events of 1989 remain heavily censored and a taboo subject within mainland China.
The physical square remains a heavily guarded public space requiring advance registration to visit.

Applebaum is among the most prominent voices on the rise of authoritarianism and the fragility of liberal democracy, and she puts the challenge squarely to her audience: »This is the hour of Europe — but do the Europeans even know it?«
