Yes

Christianity is the fastest growing religion in the region.

It's almost like Christianity naturally grows unless you suppress it with bullshit.

 

[moocow]

look into it properly as per the laws of your state.

For you and a few others who've reached out about this, thank you, based bros.

Spoiler: Results of digging

My state does indeed have a program for this, paying between $18-$20 per hour for what amounts to "assisted living" tasks, from laundry & cooking to home maintenance, cleaning, running errands, the whole shebang.

Their doctor just needs to write up a referral to have the state send somebody out to the house to evaluate them for eligibility (their doc is already leaning on them to let her do this for them anyway -- they just forgot to tell me), state approves the sorts of things they're "allowed" to get paid help with, I sign some paperwork, and then start sending statements every week or whatever. No waiting period, no application fees or anything, etc.

They've got an appointment already to see their doc about getting the ball rolling. The general stress level in the house has reduced by several orders of magnitude -- they've always "felt guilty" about me putting my career on hold and selling my house to come out to help them, and they worry about my finances but couldn't afford to help in that regard. My endless protests of "YOU'RE MY PARENTS FFS YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ME!" fall on deaf ears -- it's just who they are. They're over-the-moon at the prospect of the state chucking some cash my way for doing what I'm already doing.

It ain't rocket science money, but it'll do!

I mean, yes? If you mean a government ran by ethnic Muslims. Because it's a ethnic Muslim majority country. I don't expect them to be ran by hindus. What I'm contesting is that it needs to be or will be religiously Islamic, which I think it won't be. Christianity is the fastest growing religion in the region. The odds of a completely secular aren't great, but there's a chance. That's not to say there's not going to be Islam worshipping Muslims in the government. But I don't think Islam will be the core of the new government.

I think it would still be majority Muslim, even the GAMAAN poll you linked shows Christianity as fairly small population size. It'll be a long while before we see a significant Christian representation in their government. I'm more or less considering the cultural impact Islam has on the general population. Even though a majority dont go to church, it still has an impact on the populace in general. Mainly their political and moral beliefs. They obviously wont be as extreme as the former government, but I'm keeping my expectations tempered and think it'll end up more like Lebanon. A middle eastern Muslim country that has mostly good relations with the US.

All that was missing was the Doritos.

I want to see Obama and Ben Rhodes reactions right now.

Same. I was looking forward to seeing Ben Rhodes and his Pod Save America podcast buddies cope and seethe today since I regularly listen to them for my amusement and understanding of Dem/Lefty focus and topics. But they don't appear to have put out any emergency media content tod-

Oh wait a sec, Ben Rhodes just put up a new video an hour ago:

People are on a little too much hopium thinking Iran will become a Christian country. What's much more likely is that it becomes a country with a majority 'cultural Muslim' population, a smaller but still prominent hardcore Islamist population, and a growing and increasingly influential Christian minority that nevertheless remains a minority. Much like a mirror of the West, honestly.

 

[Mister Fister]

Are non-Americans legitimately retarded? Big bad Iran that was supposed to be Afghanistan 2.0 just got wiped the fuck out in the span of 12 hours and all thats left is a massive missile spergout shooting at every neighboring country.

I mean I knew deep down Americans are superior but holy fuck dude, literally every country on Earth except America is run by fraudsters and retards.

Do you realize that Americans are simply return to who they are once the boomer influence ends?

Trump put him on phone duty. If the Iranian goverment tries to call, Vance is to pick up and call them every slur in the book like it is a MW2 lobby.

Winston and C-Milk have literally never been wrong about anything they've ever said, to my knowledge.
They've been telling the truths about China and the CCP for so many years now. And everything they say gets proven correct sooner or later.
They should be the first stop for anyone trying to keep up with or learn what the CCP is up to, how much of a shithole China actually is and how they fool the useful idiots in the West.

The goal is for those who insist on being Muslim to be Muslim the way Moroccans are, which is to say not really

Then you need to replace the culture or this is just going to happen again, Islam literally glorifies warlords.
