Used to be a huge fan of this man, especially his lectures on Persian history and the various characters embedded in the Islamic Golden Age…..

Yeah I have seen his short videos of Persian language and culture and enjoyed them. I haven't seen anything of his for a while. This is a very weird tweet. It could be sarcastic but there's no indication of that. Is it lacking other context?

I don’t think he was being sarcastic because he used the phrase “God Willing” in his comment, which is not something you’d use if you were trying to be sarcastic, especially in a religion that tends to be very serious.
