|    The Similarities of Frithjof Schuon and     |
|    23 Jan 20 15:58:33    |
      Two stubborn opinionated cult leaders rooted in an Islamicate substrate though       not born into Islam? Check.              Both grew up in multilingual, multinational, middle class environments? Check.              Both attracted many disciples including noted intellectuals? False. Only       Schuon has done this. NWA is a nobody outside of puerile internet forums and       the Blogosphere soapbox he has erected for himself.               Both have a vision of the Divine Feminine in their personal religious       doctrines? Check -- Schuon sees her as Mary Mother of Christ and Azal       vacillates between Sayyidah Fatimah and a Baphomet-like Mediterranean       complexioned Angelina Jolie. Weird but okay.              Both refer to their spouses as "Mother"? False. This is something NWA has in       common with Mike Pence though.               Both have very bookish, insulated, and rigid opinions about the world,       especially the world they think they dislike? Check.              Maybe Nima is also the Return of Frithjof Schuon? Isn't he also initiated into       the erroneously named White Feather [sic] Navajo clan? A clan that my Navajo       friends tell me doesn't in fact exist ajd that whoever stated it does is       likely some cultural        appropriating LARPer. But, I digress.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
