Sure, there's a gorilla with a gun, but I'm worried about how homeboy is holding his drink. That's a spill waiting to happen!

I'm not sure. It's the first I've ever heard of it. The Western academic approach to Islamic studies is historically rooted in refuting Islam's credibility instead of objectively studying it, so you'll hear all sorts of wild assertions and conclusions that would make a five year old Muslim laugh. It may be improving these days, but I don't keep current with this stuff. Anyways, Mecca is literally in the Arabic text of the Quran, so it's not some translator filling in the gaps with interpretation:

The article you mentioned tries to be balanced with point and counterpoint. There are some sweeping assumptions being made in that article as well.

I will say that if Mecca was Petra, many historical events occurring between mecca and medina become impossible. Battle of Badr, Uhud, etc. The tribes involved in the above events also didn't reside in Petra.

It comes across as an outsider's fun little thought experiment. Very orientalist in its approach.

Not true: https://quran.com/48?startingVerse=24

Are mecca and medina even in that circle? Yemen definitely isn't. Image is definitely false.

Breakfast is served

Do you see a young woman or an old lady?

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

Either way I'd probably say no thanks, I'm good. But if I were to accept it, sealed reduces suspicion by 20% because tampering is still possible. Purchased reduces suspicion by 97.3%, but randos don't randomly buy things for other randos, so I would be looking for the person filming the tiktok prank or brace myself for the evangelizing that comes with the free drink.

If a rando offered me a drink I'd expect to wake up missing my kidneys.

What if they kept the green color just to troll...

You can actually see homeboy squatting behind the door through the windowpanes 🤣

This whole graph is wack except friend's dog.

Put something in the pocket before you put your pocket square in. I've used a paper napkin before when I had nothing else on hand 😋

Sure, just playing with it

Looks great! What if you simplified it even more? (apologies for the hack job, I did this on my phone)

Their attempts at reproduction, doomed from the start, only fuel the virus’ spread, a group of scientists at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History told NPR in a statement.

Is this a fungus or a virus?

Plot twist: these are 6 legged bed bugs. The survivor was right, but now it has to live with the fact that its last words to its buddy were, "You're stupid."
