Finished
Growth of the Muslim Population of Medieval India (AD 1000 – 1800) by Kishori Saran Lal (Took longer than expected)
Clash of Civilizations by Samuel P. Huntington (This book took so damn long to read)
Polish Folklore and Myth by Joanne Asala (This book was surprisingly very short, and gave me a totally different opinion on Polish Myth from the impressions I had, because of The Witcher TV series).
Will Not Finish
The Psychopath Inside by James Fallon (I really, truly had high hopes for this book, especially after the previous book about psychopaths by Kevin Dutton was such a disappointment, but I was 40% in and I gained nothing).
Unfinished
Mafia Democracy (Two Hours and 54 Minutes on Audible) written and voiced by Michael Franzese and some portions read.
Nastik: Why I Am Not an Atheist by Kushal Mehra (Read the First Two Chapters and still in the process of reading, but I want to finish the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali first).
Indian Muslims: Who Are They by Kishori Saran Lal (Read selected chapters for a clearer understanding of Growth of Muslim Population in Medieval India when its pages were hard to read or when it had a bit of additional context).
First Chapter of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Reading chiefly two different translations and a third Western translation).
Part III: Chapter Seven of Theory and Practice of Muslim State in India by Kishori Saran Lal. (Read for research purposes and may get back to reading more of his work later).
Ongoing Series
39 Chapters of Bouryoku Banzai by Homura Kawamoto (Kakegurui author).
One Piece by Eiichiro Oda
For those wondering why the books I cited in my recent write-ups and book, A Hindu Critiques Islam, aren’t added outside of the ones about Kishori Saran Lal; while I did re-read them to make sure I had the appropriate facts and context, I did my first actual reading of those books around 2015 – 2019, around the time I was listening to the Ex-Muslims of North America non-profit group. Late Victorian Holocausts and the books on the Irish famines were books that I read of my own volition in 2015 for my dissertation which was harshly criticized as poorly argued. Although, the current crisis in the UK with Muslim rape gangs and the implosion of the US under Trump and Biden have vindicated it to me, but in ways that even I thought wouldn’t go as extreme as it did. I suppose most people, including very educated and intelligent professors, can have trouble understanding how codependent so many different sectors of society are without their awareness. The UK situation in particular is so self-inflicted that it might boggle people’s minds how their own ancestors failed them so completely outside of victory in World War II, which was mainly thanks to the US and Russia. I re-read chapters to refresh my memory to make sure the accuracy of the information was conveyed as best as I could manage. I don’t count it as part of the list though, because it was mainly to reacclimate information I had already read and researched in the past to make sure that I was giving the most accurate information possible.
Unfortunately, all this re-reading made me lose focus and I think I let social media hack my brain with creating two subreddits where I post either critiques or daily news relevant to how harmful Christianity and Islam are respectively. I initially did it to make it clear that criticizing religion is important, because Abrahamic religion in particular is far more harmful than most realize and they don’t see how harmful religious ideologies cause certain problematic consequences where everyone tries to find every other excuse possible and ignore the obvious; this is particularly true for Islam. That’s also why critiquing the theology is just as important, so that people in the US, India, Japan, South Korea, and Europe more broadly are better able to understand how and why certain behaviors like grooming gangs aren’t “racial” but due to the harmful teachings of a religion that indoctrinates people to believe living in 7th century standards is somehow beneficial in modern society. If we can’t even criticize Islam when it rapes children, then what are we doing? At that point, a society has lost all perspective and failed to protect the most vulnerable. Likewise, the connotations of Christianity with reaffirming White Supremacy over and over also need to be called out, and Christianity’s own support for utterly genocidal behavior, which is US taxpayer funded in the case of Israel-Palestine, needs to be called out too; especially after US taxes have paid $300 billion in free aid to Israel with Israel offering nothing of equivalent value in return. This farce of a partnership is entirely due to faith in prophecy of Jesus Christ’s Second Coming and Benjamin Netanyahu exerts undue and firm control on 23 – 25% of US society because of faith in Biblical prophecy requiring resettlement of Jewish people into what is modern-day Palestine; the fantasy mythology of the Bible has turned the US into Israel’s client state because they’re theologically correct about it being required for the mythological story of Jesus Christ’s Second Coming. We need to be open and honest about that too, because our tax dollars funded a genocide that was livestreamed to us through Tik Tok. Sorry if it seems “political” but I’m just concerned about the disturbing decline of human rights.
