[Rare Trope] Positive depictions of Islam or Muslims

[Rare Trope] Positive depictions of Islam or Muslims 1) Lawrence of Arabia: Arab Tribesmen Throughout the movie, you see an immense respect for Arab culture while sympathizing with their struggle against Ottoman and British imperialism. 2) Kingdom of Heaven: Saladin Saladin, the Islamic leader who becomes the main antagonist for the crusaders, is depicted as an honorable fighter with many heroic qualities. 3) Dune: Fremen The fremen, which borrow heavily from Arab and Berber culture, are depicted as fierce and honorable warriors. In fact, the Fremen Fedaykin,

How do you swiftly and safely redirect unwanted attention from someone drunk or on drugs?

Last night I was at the pub catching up with some old friends and I notice a big guy approaching multiple tables, generally being loud and obnoxious. Can't see anyone else with him. Sure enough, he eventually comes over to us, interrupting our fascinating mortgage chat. For some reason he doesn't like how I look and decides to try and insult me (but he's also disinhibited by drugs or alcohol and isn't making much sense). We try to ignore him but then he starts getting angry that we're not engaging. The mortgage chat is totally dead in the water at this point. I tell him it's time for him to leave and he threatens to smash my head in. I make a show of apologising and he accepts that we don't want him there. As we leave the pub half an hour later we see him still at it, approaching another table. I would say the total time that we had to put up with him was about 5 minutes, which was not a bad result. But

Recently had surgery and $40 of my bill is for having a blanket put on me in the recovery room (I was unconscious and did not, obviously, keep the blanket)

Recently had surgery and $40 of my bill is for having a blanket put on me in the recovery room (I was unconscious and did not, obviously, keep the blanket) the other charge amounts are just as ridiculous, but this one sent me over the edge submitted by /u/Technical_Diet4774 to r/mildlyinfuriating

We left our mother's carers a six-figure sum each from my mother's sizeable inheritance. My husband and I have been asked to testify in an investigation as they apparently were not allowed to accept this money. Can we refuse to do so?

Our mother was cared for by a dedicated team of carers in her final years. I am physically disabled and could not care for her myself, while my husband often works abroad. I therefore relied on a team of carers - several of whom were particularly dedicated for a period of several years, going above and beyond. Our mother left each of them a five figure lump sum from her inheritance to show her gratitude. We upped that to six figures each as she had sizeable private pensions belonging to her husband which we were previously unaware existed. My husband and I have received letters asking us to provide statements in an ongoing investigation into staff who accepted gifts when they should not have. Can we refuse to comply/engage with this? It appears to be an official regulatory body writing to us. submitted by /u/Fit_Watercres

Why do Brits prefer non EU migrants over EU

25 March 2026 @ 12:09 pm

One of the most damning stats post Brexit has been the substitution and then massive inflation of migrants from India, Pakistan and the Global South. Why has this been preferred compared to all the anti-Polish, anti-Romanian rhetoric during Brexit years when EU countries should be more like minded to the Brits? submitted by /u/Visual_Title9363 to r/AskBrits [link] [comments]
