🇦🇷 ARMY, IMPORTANT TO READ ‼️ We want to talk to you about something that seems important to us, especially given everything that has been happening on social media in recent days. Yesterday it was officially announced who will be the opening act for BTS on the three dates in October: 21, 23, and 24. Following this announcement, we saw a lot of criticism and negative comments toward the producer and the decision of the opening act. We understand that every ARMY can have their own opinion and that it's okay to express disagreement. We do not seek to question that or ask anyone to stop expressing how they feel. However, we believe it is important to consider the context. There have already been previous complaints and massive criticisms regarding various issues related to the show, and the accumulation of these situations can end up having consequences that go beyond an opinion on social media. A recent example occurred in Brazil, where it was communicated that fan projects would not be allowed for BTS shows, even after the fandom had already progressed with the production of 270,000 hand banners for the three dates. This does not mean that the same thing will happen in Argentina, but we believe it is a precedent worth keeping in mind. In Argentina, there are also many projects that ARMY has been preparing for months, with time, organization, effort, and resources behind them. Therefore, we ask you to avoid joining a wave of hate and to also consider the possible consequences, not only for these projects but also for the image we as a fandom build in front of those who work on the shows and in front of the boys themselves. We can disagree, question decisions, and express how we feel without turning it into attacks or hate campaigns. We ask you to take care of the space we are going to share and, above all, the possibilities of doing beautiful things for the boys. We are very close to experiencing something we have been waiting for a long time. 🫶🏻 Hopefully, we can reach October prioritizing what really matters: welcoming BTS, enjoying the shows, and sharing this very special moment as ARMY. 🤍 (translated)

“When Terrorism Becomes “Resistance”: What the Statistics Actually Show Do most Muslims oppose Islamist terrorism? The available evidence does not support either a simple “yes” or “no.” It shows a more complicated pattern: many Muslims reject attacks on civilians, while attitudes toward political violence can change substantially depending on the conflict, the perpetrators and the victims. A 2013 Pew Research Center survey found that 89% of Pakistani Muslims, 81% of Indonesian Muslims and 77% of Tunisian Muslims said suicide bombing and violence against civilians could never be justified in defence of Islam. But the figure was only 38% in the Palestinian territories; 62% said such violence could sometimes or often be justified (Pew Research Center, 2013). Jordan provides another revealing example. After al-Qaeda’s 2005 hotel bombings in Amman, support for Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda as a legitimate resistance organisation fell from 67% to 20%, while those calling it a terrorist organisation rose from 10.6% to 48.9% (Jamestown Foundation, 2005). The fact that attacks on Muslim civilians dramatically changed attitudes suggests that perceptions of political violence can depend partly on who is being targeted. More recently, an Arab Center survey across 16 Arab countries found that 67% considered Hamas’s October 7 operation a legitimate resistance operation, while another 19% considered it flawed but legitimate (Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, 2024). These figures cannot, however, be equated directly with support for terrorism: respondents were asked about legitimacy and Hamas, not specifically whether they supported terrorism or attacks on civilians. The evidence therefore does not establish that most Muslims support terrorism. It does show something more precise and important: opposition to Islamist violence is not necessarily consistent across circumstances. Some people who reject terrorism in principle may regard violence as legitimate when it is framed as resistance against a perceived enemy. The statistics cited by FrontPage Magazine therefore raise a legitimate question(Greenfield, 2026)” - ChatGPT

To get to know a little more about the opening act for BTS shows! Ana Belén Kim, better known as Anita B Queen, is an Argentine artist of South Korean descent who gained significant prominence in the vibrant Buenos Aires music scene. Although she felt a deep connection to music from a young age, she began her journey as a DJ in 2018, after spending several years organizing electronic music events. Starting in the house scene, she expanded her repertoire by joining the artistic collective SWERV in 2019, where she began to experiment with a wide variety of urban sounds and with Afro and Latin influences, such as hip hop, trap, afrobeats, Brazilian funk, and drum and bass, among others. In 2021, Anita joined the band of the multi-award-winning singer Ca7riel during the launch of his solo album, El Disko, and has been touring with him ever since. Her connection to music and people, combined with the meteoric rise of her career, has led her to perform at the most recognized parties and clubs in Argentina. From iconic clubs in Buenos Aires like Under Club, Crobar, and Groove, to stadiums like Monumental and festivals like Primavera Sound and Lollapalooza, Anita has conquered the most important stages in the country. During her last European tour, she performed in Germany and Spain, playing at renowned clubs like Antídoto in Madrid, and Mondo and Molotov in Vigo. More recently, in one of her most attended performances to date, she was in charge of opening the shows for Skrillex and Fred Again at Lollapalooza Buenos Aires. Her vibrant live sets are characterized by a fusion of Latin and urban sounds combined with a hypnotic electronic atmosphere, all accompanied by a magnetic and dynamic stage presence.

Maybe the miracle weapon works. A deus ex machina. But currently everyone in power is desperate for it to work and that shows, despite breathless claims otherwise, that the U.S. and the West weren't doing very well in recent years until the unearned miracle arrived. #DeusExMachina #MiracleWeapon #PowerDynamics #US #West
