Many are not aware, but among the Arabs, Andalusian echos still survive. Andalusian music and poetry is still sung to this day, called موشح (mawshe7). Here is the most popular, among a playlist of many others. Each sounds beautiful.

وطَرٌ ما فيهِ منْ عيْبٍ سَوَى - موشح جادك الغيث - أروى السعودية

كلمات الموشح؛ما لقَلْبي كلّما هبّتْ صَباعادَهُ عيدٌ منَ الشّوْقِ جَديدْكانَ في اللّوْحِ لهُ مكْتَتَباقوْلُهُ إنّ عَذابي لَشديدْلاعِجٌ في أضْلُعي قدْ أُضْرِما...

Pretty much all of these were centered on nationalist narratives. There’s no “Sunni” bloc. Every Shia on the other hand fights at the helm of a Shi’ite “theocracy” that has revolutionized political organization through the Vilayet-e Faqih.

Islamicate experience has never functioned without a plausibility structure, it can’t survive without one. The vision isn’t about ‘Islamizing’ or making something ‘Islamic’ to begin with. It will always be insecure through and through, and collapse on itself due to that feature

It turned out I had more to say about why I dislike this (thread). There are many places where the celebration of white reverts is actually just the re-statement of white supremacy. They (we) are seen as more palatable as long as they do not reject certain aspects of whiteness.

It’s curious how many preach against ‘colonial artificial borders’ and then speak of a past that was homogenous in identity to support whatever pan-x idea. Ironically enough, national identities shaped by post-colonial borders has made the regions more homogenized than ever.

It seems to us that the only constant, or consensus, in the Islamicate experience is that of localized autonomies, decentralizations wherever possible for the bliss of privacy. The invasive connectivity of the present is a world turned inside out vis a vis the historical.

So the story goes, Osman II had his BALLS CRUSHED by an assassin named Pehlivan the Oil Wrestler. Pehlivan translates to Oil Wrestler. The assassin is literally named “Oil Wrestler the Oil Wrestler”. So no, he unfort wasn’t real. A Janissary strangled Osman II as was tradition.

On the Ottoman bug: The Ottoman case is attractive due to time relativity. No other period has gone through so many transitions, has lived to see nearly every age of Man. Apart a handful of developments, the medieval is estranged, distant, strange. Down with Classical bias.

It’s funny because you don’t technically need Turkish elements to reconstruct a neo-Ottomanist ideology. Its primary useful feature is a nice case study of what a diverse cosmopolitan Islamicate elite structure looks like, separated and hovering over its subjects as stewards.

The Balkans were the heartlands of the Empire, both geographically, militarily, and culturally. What we dub ‘Ottoman culture’ was explicitly concocted of elite Balkan elements, from Topkapi Palace to the Sublime Porte and to the Janissary commandants in their barracks.

First step to Ottoman history - No equivalency between Turk and ‘Ottoman’. Briefly these may align for slight period of time but only briefly OE is a Balkan epoch Second step - Turkey is not the successor of the OE. The “Turkish Empire” didn’t transition to the ‘Turkish State’.
