Al Saranidi School of Insurgency(IC/post-MT or MT)

[Kowani]

Mohamed blinked, surprised. It seems I am in the wrong classroom, since I did not exactly sign up for military strategy. Perhaps I should stay anyway, absorb some of the knowledge.

(OOC: Mohamed looks pretty North African, if you need a reference point.)

[Saranidia]

"Only Allah is undefeatable but he allowed military victory in all known battles to Khaled Ibn Walid, Alexander and Genghis Khan. We know the reasons he allowed it for Khalid but as for Genghis Khan, Allah works in his own mysterious ways."

"But sir, Genghis lost many battles as Temujin. Even as Genghis, he lost in Volga Bulgars. Alexander lost his invasion of India, and the great Khalid had the shameful Ohod, though that was obviously the fault of the faulty followers who failed to comply to his orders correctly."

-after checking the answers- "You're right. Of course this shows a message as well: No strategic genius guarantees success, only Allah can predict who lives and dies"

"You don't have to be here but the other classes are not on yet so go and revise for them or sign up for this one."

Mohamed nodded his assent. I suppose learning Military Strategy could not hurt our people. Thank you, teacher. I shall stay.

"Trick Question, sir" Homayun raised his hand, "There exists no military leader to have never been defeated at all. Only Allah is undefeated."

"Only Allah is undefeatable but he allowed military victory in all known battles to Khaled Ibn Walid, Alexander and Genghis Khan. We know the reasons he allowed it for Khalid but as for Genghis Khan, Allah works in his own mysterious ways."

"But what of the Prophet(ﷺ) and his Companions during the Battle of Khaybar?" slightly incredulous that the Apostle of Allah would be left out. "Not to mention Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Uncle of the Prophet, -Peace Be Upon Them Both-? Was it not against the Kharijites at the Battle of Siffin, did not The Almighty grant him victory over those who claim to know better?" he paused, then smiled. "Then it must be one who humbles himself and studies under the guidance of the Almighty, does he become unbeatable."

“No, Sulieman. If the Almighty interfered to save every believer, than what would be the point of the struggle? What of those believers who died in those battles? Allah may guide, but he only interferes for the Prophet himself. He works through us, not for us.”

"Some very interesting points" You can have a break now and then do post-colonial theory.

[Rusthenia]

Muhammad Ali Dzhambek(Real name: Vladislav Ivanov) would walk into the building, the Jihad school? no the School of Insurgery 'my job is to end this school... there's no why there aren't others here with the same goal' he thinks as he holds his handgun tightly he heard it's Post-colonial theory class or something like that he walks with the scar across his face he 'got' when the Rusthenian forces hit him with their pocket-knives and he walks in to see the class already starting he says "Post-colonial theory?"

OOC: he looks like an Russian and an Armenian since hes half Armenian half Russian

"Good, I have read his book and studied his theory thanks to my parents" he says before sitting down. thinking 'this is going to be shit'

"What were Edward Sa'id's main theories?"

[Frievolk]

As the poorly credentialed Instructor began droning about Edward Sa'id, Homayun rolled his eyes. 'Not Sa'id's retarded beliefs about colonialism again' he thought, though attempted to look like he was listening and paying attention. He could wait for the day to reach its end.

She is not poorly credentialed, she has a PHD from Oxford.

Thus Sully never had heard of Mr. Sa'id's works, but gradually learned and was amazed. He would have never thought that a British-man born in Palestine would support the Palestinians so, nor write critiques on Eurocentricism. He wondered if there were connections to his own life, having been forced under a Sindarin name and education as per the Assimilation Act of 1864 in Danceria. Like a sponge, he absorbed the knowledge and wrote down several notes.

Muhammad Ali Dzhambek would sit down next to Homayun

OOC: There are degrees in post-colonialism at many universities. Besides how is the Iraq war NOT imperialist?

Yeah. And you have degrees in Batmanology (or some other Comics related rubbish like that). Doesn't make them any more a credible subject.
In the way that it was not done for the purpose of colonization, nor the usurping of resources (i.e.Imperialism). Do you think all wars forced by a large power on a small country are imperialism????

Muhammad Ali Dzhambek would sit down next to Homayun

Due to law of plot convenience, Sulieman was next to Dzhambek, and would whisper. "I'm afraid I have never heard of this man before today..." he would confess. "Have you?"

Dzhambek would whisper back "No, why did you think I asked if somebody else would knew his theories."

"Wasn't sure that was rhetorical." Sully would mutter. "If you already knew enough about him..."

"Edward Sa'id was an Arab Christian who wrote widely on how the western apparatuses of colonialism and even of academia sometimes view the east. "
the teacher said


"He wrote
Orientalism, The Question of Palestine and
Covering Islam"
she continued.

Writing these titles down, he raised his hand. "Are these simply critiques on any stereotypes the West may have on the Middle East?"
