Lets talk about the origins of islam
After Jesus died and his cult grew far and wide throughout the Roman Empire and its surrounding areas, there were a lot of "interpretations" of what exactly Jesus was, he was a a savior but was he just a man, a God, the manifestation of god, the son of god, an essence of god e.t.c however the one interpretation that ended up being adopted by the Roman state was Nicene Creed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicene_CreedFrom that point on it was the Trinitarian belief that was accepted by the Roman State, Jesus being the son of god and the holy spirt aspect, but non-Trinitarian sects did exist and were often persecuted, the 2 most popular of these sects being the Arian and Nestorian christian sects, Arianism was common in northern Africa, Spain and and even Northern Europe, while Nestorianism spread Eastward into the Persian Empire, Central Asia and even on the fringe borders of China and as well as Arabia, now the Quran does mention Christians but identifies them as being Trinitarian and following a form of the Trinity literally no one followed, Jesus, God and Mary and that absolutely would not have been the case, at that point you would likely only meet a non-Trinitarian Arab christian in that region
now lets go the early Islamic conquests, now you see for 26 years the Byzantines and Persians were caught in bloody war lasting 24 years, Egypt was in ruins and the mesopotamia was devastated,
When the Arabs invaded the Romans did outnumber Arabs . But it wasn't 7 to 1. Those numbers mostly come from later Arab sources, which claim that the Romans had armies as large as 150,000 or even 200,000
However, this is very obviously preposterous, since the Romans were unable to raise even 30,000 during Justinian's reconquest just a 100 years before the Islamic conquests. So them claiming that they could raise 200,000 troops after an exhausting 26 year war against the Persians, is ridiculous. After defeating the Roman army at Yarmouk, the Muslims had basically a free pass to take as much land as he wanted, since they had destroyed the only proper Roman army at Yarmouk, and the Romans were unable to raise more troops to stop them but then local involvement is also a factor
It's likely that the Arain Christians would have seen the early Muslims as being closer to their theology then the Eastern Romans, and the Eastern Romans themself up until the 10th century referred to the Islamic states as being nothing more then a Christian heresy
how something seems to have happened 800-900 AD which made the caliphate rulers want to dissociate themselves from Christianity and their christian origins and differentiate Islam as a separate religion all together, The Hadiths are likely all made up and promoted by the state, if we remove them and leave only the Quran we end up with basically just a non-Trinatarian Arabized religious book

It may seem kinda unimportant but you know what was the initial thing that really just destroyed my faith in Islam, Language
I'm from a non-Arabic speaking country and like all non-Arab Muslims Arabic is venerated here, its considered a holy perfect language that has always existed, the language of Heaven its self is Arabic in Islam
And that never made any sense to me, nearly all of Gods prophets were Jews who spoke in Hebrew and Jesus spoke in Aramaic and suddenly Allah decides that now Arabic language above all else, and there's literally no defense Muslims have against this
Like this meme is comparing a naming convention In certain sciences to the fact that their was absolutely no reason to use Arabic

My apologies, thats what I meant by surviving, along with the fact how sheltered this woman is. The problem with her she is so desperate to live in a different country to make herself look "special" and brag about being a wife that she decided to cling onto some Muslim kid who is as sheltered as her, with adding of a philosophy from a man who claims that women should do nothing but sit at home and make children. That taking into account the fact that this guy is as sheltered as her, just much younger; he too does nothing but plays Overwatch at home and lets parent do all the cleaning and cooking without ever going outside.
The issue with her Is that she doesn't even have university education because of her own laziness, which is why I am concerned over her, a white woman deciding to start dating a teenager who is from an ENTIRELY different culture.

Only just noticed this thread, I'm really glad it's here. I've already talked about my situation on other threads before but I'd like to have your input as well.
I still live in a muslim majority country but I'm planning to leave soon. I don't know what to do about my family. I love them to bits, they're wonderful people and despite being religious, they never tried forcing me to pray or wear the hijab. But I'm a lesbian atheist and I just can't stand this double life anymore. I know a lot of exmuslims tend to go no-contact like anon here

>>778590Not to sperg too much, but putting India instead of Bangladesh as the other Muslim-majority S Asian country is just lmao, and then on top of that using a woman in a wedding attire that is still very much worn by all South Asian women regardless of faith as the example is also odd. The Pakistani outfit it more accurate for all 3 countries and it is still commonly worn. Sorry, I've seen this meme thousands of times and it always struck me as odd. Also the irony in that the shalwar kameez (Pakistan's outfit) being a result of Islamic presence in the subcontinent afaik.
I'm a relatively privileged ex-Muslim in the sense that I have never truly followed the religion and my family doesn't give a shit that I don't pray, read the Qu'ran, or fast. It is pretty nice, but since I'm still in school I have to live with my parents and won't get to ~really~ live my lifestyle until professional school. I think what irritates me the most are the haram police type Muslims because you know 100% these retards have their own double life. They always do. Liberal/less practicing Muslims should piss me off in theory, but if the popularity of these types at the very least challenges the retarded orthodox lifestyle or presents an alternative for Muslims then Idc. I'd rather have progressive religious hypocrites then actual orthodox followers, because several generations of "practicing Muslim only on Eid" will lead to the religion dying out anyways kek

I've been told Liban is pretty open-minded as a whole but it's the exception and the rest of the Middle East and Pakistan is just fucked up and they even treat non-Arab muslims like shit because they're not good enough or something.
From my family's observation abroad they told me that there are a few Christians and Jews in north africa who just never converted to Islam during the invasion centuries ago and in Algeria and Morocco things are more or less ok, but you can be fined if you eat in public during Ramadan before it's night. Not sure how that's applied, I've read a news articles years ago about some family in Kabylie (maybe in Bejaia) doing a BBQ in their own garden and being fined, no idea if they were targeted for being non-muslims specifically or because maybe they're Kabyle separatists (very unlikely since it was just over a BBQ, who knows).

>>779487That reminds me of the discussion in the unpopular opinions thread. In France that's exactly how it is, at least in theory. The law is specifically made in mind for Muslims though because women wearing the hijab is way more obvious than women wearing a small pendant of a cross that she could hide under her shirt, I barely see an jewish person wearing anything specifically jewish outside of very specific situations during their free time like when they celebrate holidays, and nobody gives a fuck about religions that aren't the three abrahamic ones or could even recognize potential accessories or clothing articles.
On the other hands these past few years some holidays' name are being more and more often replaced with more neutral names, I've seen some company emails talking about spring break instead of easter holidays recently. Are there any other countries where it's applied that way?

Here's the article
>PETRO-GIANT countries of the Arab world may not be terribly well known for perspicacious scholarship or prowess in scientific research but their one-upmanship knows no limits.
>The United Arab Emirates is presently stealing the show: the Emirates Mars Mission’s successful July 2020 launch means it will rendezvous with the Red Planet in six months; UAE cities have spectacular skylines premiering the worlds’ tallest and most stunning buildings; and the world’s top airline is called Emirates. There’s every kind of futuristic gimmickry: the world’s first minister of artificial intelligence, 27-year-old Sultan Al Olama, was just appointed under UAE’s Centennial 2071 plan.
>Close on UAE’s heels are other GCC countries with Saudi Arabia having started the construction of Neom, a futuristic megacity deep in the desert bordering the Red Sea. Costing $500 billion upward, it will feature artificial rain, a fake moon, robotic maids, flying taxis, and holographic teachers. Qatar plans to spend over $220bn while hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Twelve solar-cooled super-stadiums holding around 50,000 spectators each are nearing completion.
>Private scorn accompanies these humongous public spectacles. What’s Arab about all this? Expats flown in from around the globe run the show. They range from domestic servants to truck drivers and from famous architects to top-of-the-line space-travel engineers. The relationship is purely transactional: petrodollars buy brains, brawn and gadgets.
>Arab and Pakistani cultures remain self-congratulatory even eight centuries after Islam’s Golden Age ended.
>But, knowing the oil will eventually dry out, some GCC Arab rulers are realising that theirs is a road to nowhere. Beating the drum of past glories and education of the usual religious kind will doom them to remain consumers and supplicants. And so, at least at first glance, they seem to be doing everything right and are throwing tons of money at it.
>Education from the primary class to university is free in all state institutions. New Arab universities are aplenty with several US universities having Arab campuses to which famous foreign professors are lured with incredible pay packages. Laboratories are stuffed with scientific equipment and every kind of infrastructure is there for the asking.
>Is it working? Has a culture of learning and scholarship developed? Nature, a highly respected science journal, has effusive praise. A recent article in its Middle Eastern edition, ‘The Rise of Saudi Arabia as a Science Powerhouse’ describes Saudi Arabia as “West Asia’s second most scientifically productive country after Israel”. Other GCC countries have shot up in world rankings as well. The sole criterion used is the number of research papers published from universities.
>But with 20 different ways of getting your name onto a paper in the internet age, and with foreign visitors flown in just for lending their prestigious names to a paper, making large claims based upon small evidence is unwise. Nature’s normal objectivity was likely influenced by political and financial considerations. The astonishing conclusion of “science powerhouse” is unsupported by other evidence.
>Unesco’s Science Report, for example, was far more cautious. It observed that in most Arab countries, “the education system is still not turning out graduates who are motivated to contribute to a healthier economy”. University professors returning from teaching stints in GCC countries agree. They complain about the indifference, apathy, poor work ethic, and lack of curiosity among their students. Reading habits are undeveloped. Most students opt for ‘soft’ areas like marketing, banking and management with few going for more intellectually demanding and rigorous disciplines.
>At the heart of this is Arab attitudes towards knowledge and learning. Centuries after the end of Islam’s Golden Age (9th to 13th centuries), Arab culture is self-absorbed and centred on self-congratulation. Convinced that it possesses the only true religion and that Arabic is the most perfect language, it claims eternal monopoly over truth. That’s narcissism on a civilisational scale.
>Narcissus, as the reader knows, is a Greek legendary figure who fell deliriously in love with himself and disdained all around him. In anger the goddess Nemesis punished him by obsessing him with his reflection in the stream. So lovely was the bloom of his youth that he could not walk away from himself. And so Narcissus wasted away and died.
>A similar tragedy befalls cultures lost in self-love. They lose vitality because there is little desire to interact and mingle with other peoples or to move with the times. Many young Arabs today take this lazy route. They disdain intellectual pursuits, thinking that modern accomplishments are only a pale reflection of the foundational works of their Muslim ancestors.
>This is delusionary. Science and learning came from all humankind and existed in civilisations long preceding Islam. Ancient Babylonian and Egyptian science started 3,000 to 4,000 years ago and the Chinese, Indian and Greek civilisations were extremely fertile as well. Relatively speaking, science in Islam was a latecomer that began with the translation of Greek works about 150 years after the death of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Muslims added many new and brilliant ideas but their science is just one part of pre-modern science.
>Some signs of hope are finally emerging in the Arab world. The abject failure to modernise — except very superficially — is making GCC countries realise that insularity won’t work. Several are moving up the learning curve and absorbing universal values by allowing wider media access and more personal freedoms for citizens, particularly for women. While the trend towards recognising Netanyahu’s Israel smacks of defeatism and sells out Palestinian interests, the decrease in anti-Semitic propaganda augurs well for all.
>Bucking progressive trends in the Arab world, Pakistan is busy manufacturing new narcissistic illusions. Lacking the will to address urban chaos (as in Karachi) or to generate significant employment, it seeks solace through concocting a Turkic-Islamic past and heaping adoration upon the fictionalised Ertugrul drama series. Now watched daily by millions, it is a new form of escapism.
>Evidence for a further closing of the Pakistani mind is starkly visible. Absent from our school curriculum is the study of world history, philosophy, epistemology, or comparative religions. In PTI’s Single National Curriculum, rote learning has massively increased, as has religious content. The brains of our schoolchildren are being programmed for a world other than the one they live in. No. 790185

Some Japanese guys also couldn't guess correctly where I was from but in that case I doubt they think about Maghreb as a whole when they see tanned foreigners first. My black, Caraibean friend showed pictures of me to an Indian coworker who was sure I was Indian, but my friend thought I was white just because I was kinda pale and she never saw any north Africans before me. Usually when I see weird inaccurate comparisons or people guessing wrong it's just because they're exposed to certain stereotypes or aren't that familiar with the other person's culture or country.

Vent about my brother
My brother used to have same doubts about Islam as I had, he was the person I confided in but then something happened, he did leave mainstream Sunni Islam and became a devout follower of Ali al-Sistani(A very Influential and very old shia Cleric in Iraq)
now every action in his life is decided by the sayings and writings of a 90 year old man and his devotion is Insane, he has s ring with Sistani's face and he kisses on it, he started cutting himself on Ashura cause Sistani said cutting yourself "lightly" is a valid form of appreciation for Imam Hussein

Like, one of them arrived in a brand new Audi wearing stylish clothes, fancy watch, earrings, her hair in a bun - a complete western style woman that you would see in a Gucci boutique, and then she just put a hijab on in the hallway and went on to beat her chest an hour later and scream bloody murder. Two of the women weren't even muslims, they were Serb sisters who'd come because their family kept having misfortune, so they thought someone had jinxed them. The imam accepts everyone and anyone, it doesn't matter who you are as long as you pay. It was wild and surreal.

As for Hindu Muslim relations, the rural areas of Sindh and Punjab were so backward that most Muslims in those didnt practice Islam right and so Belief would intermix, but now more then ever with the rise of television Islamic evangelicals and even a limited online presence, these villagers learn true Islam and they've increasingly turned against their former Hindu neighbors, this is something the Pakistani government is complaint with and actually promotes to an extent

Think of it like this, when a people group are converted to Christianity they are fundamentally changed but the religion its self is changed and evolves, it takes on aspects of the native peoples cultures, an example of this would be how in most Bible Translatatons people will use the Name of their former highest pre-Christian God for well God, which connects them to their pre-Christian culture, in Islam everyone calls God Allah, its not even a name, its just Arabic for "The God" but Muslims around the world will use Allah cause Islam is built on Arab supremacy

In regards to dress, this hijab and burqa shit is also a recent phenomenon (Paki expert anon can you confirm lmao). Idk, I do not like the doomer attiude that every pre-Islamic or non-Islamic thing in Muslim majority ethnic groups is wiped out or going to be wiped out. I'm of Pakistani descent and I don't see shalwar kameez being replaced by abaya anytime soon. At best, you just see women who do war hijabs wear them with native clothing. The men are probably going to replace their shalwar kameez with western clothes rather than whatever the fuck Arab men wear. "Khuda" and "parvardigar" are also words used to refer to a god (those are Persian in origin rather than Arabic). The wedding practices are closer to Hindu Indian rather than Arabs (minus Nikkah and shit). Even some of the the misogynistic practices like jahez/dowry aren't Islamic lmao. Have Pakistani brides even demanded mahr in the past (Pak expert anon pls also confirm this lol)?
Again, this could be a regional thing. I'm sure cultures that were already misogynistic pre-Islam had no problem adopting Islam and making it work lmao.

How did you guys become ex-muzzies? I actually started doubting my faith at the grand old age of like, 11 kek. Makes sense because I got molested by the man who taught me Quran so it already fucked with my perception of religion then I discovered what atheism was on the internet and was like, 'Oh yeah, that makes sense.' and that was that. It wasn't a big deal for me. Of course, it's a secret as my mother has expressed, in seriousness, that she'd kill her child if they did not believe anymore. Plus, living in an Islamic state, it's much easier to just fake being religious, for safety.
Anyways, I hate how most internet communities of ex-muslims are filled to the brim with scrotes, a whole sausage-fest. And even if they're similar to me, they're still men and our experiences are vastly different. I hate the ex-muslim subreddit because of this.

>>823801>How did you guys become ex-muzzies?I was taught a completely different version of Islam to what reality was or I simply blocked the bad parts out, as a child/early teen I had a version of Islam in my head that was close to today's Protestantism or spirituality, I only was taught about peace and treating others how you'd like to be treated, caring for animals and plants and everything living, and for the history part it was mostly biblical folklore and I was amused with it.
Grew up and I was disillusioned by reality, my disillusion started when my grandparents pressured my parents to dress me more "modest" when I was just 10, I was a tomyboy and the idea of wearing long skirts and not go out to play the few times I was allowed to was very bothersome, being forced to wear hijab and learning about how brutal and unforgiving Allah is, how those peaceful Muslims were talking about kafirs and not believing in basic science because it's from kafirs.
my mother probably noticed and she gave me books to read by ex Muslims who returned to Islam again, I did more research on my own and my breaking point was probably meeting a non-practicing Christian guy online during my mid teens and being so in love with him and realizing how it was impossible to be together, I would be disowned on the spot if they knew that I was in love with him let alone sending him nudes, I was expecting a punishment from Allah but nothing happened, I walked into sin and nothing happened, it made me miserable more than anything knowing that I'll never have him or have a healthy sex life but it was what solidified my doubts because all the scientific and theory aspects were so far removed they were easy to make me feel like I might be in the wrong.
I considered converting to Christianity because I was so scared of living without a God but in time I realized that I didn't need a God and that Gods and religion were the source of all misery.
Ex-muslim communities are filled with people who are going from one extreme to the other, most of them are into identity politics and degeneracy, they're mostly male because males have more free choice and women often get married to their cousin or the first suiter if they were suspected to be rotten, males however can walk away and be independent and face less ordeal, and those males usually are very misogynistic and not that different from Muslim men except for that they don't keep their porn to themselves and share it to the public, they can't change what they were taught all their lives, that women are objects and subhuman, either covered and owned or stripped and owned, for them it is a man's world, and many many convert back to Islam or Christianity after they have had their rebellious phase and are welcomed back with open arms,if I ever end up with a man I'll never go with someone who came from a Muslim background, ever.

Funny how careful you have to be online, even on this site. You can be banned very easily for even implying terrorism is real and still happens. Or how it’s a super effective method of censorship. Sometimes I fear we will never be able to move on. Liberals bent over so much over the past few decades they have handed the reins to Muslims.

Since we're here, does anyone irl know of your ex-muslim status? How do you feel about it and how'd they react? I guess this would apply more to women living in muslim countries, but there can be circumstances where even while living in a non-muslim state, you have to hide it. I've never shared it with anyone in my life, it's too risky and dangerous. One friend of mine probably knew though, I got too honest with her, but we've drifted apart for other reasons so essentially, nobody knows.
Kind of a vent, but it just feels so hopeless, and I feel like a fraud. It hurts to know nobody actually fully knows this important part of my identity. That the people I love would never associate with me again if they knew. I've just never once felt at home. Always having to keep up an act, especially because Islam is so entrenched and a core part of a muslim's life.

>>1909936On my paternal side, everybody played pretend anyhow since my paternal grandfather died, so none of them were really Muslim. And on my maternal side it didn't play a role much because the family split into pieces due to inheritance disputes after my grandparents died. Basically all my life was pretend at my paternal grandmother's house.
My parents never raised me with Islam even though they both were, and we had to play pretend, not to be Muslim per say, but my Dad explicitly said to me when I was 9 to never tell my grandma that I would eat fries and ham and the school canteen. But the rest of my aunts and uncles also played pretend every time they were near my grandma, and would still go hide to smoke their cigarettes like teenagers and drink plenty of alcohol and smoke doobies when they'd meet up without my grandma. The pretend game was mostly to keep the peace with my grandmother. Later in life I had reconnected with cousins on my maternal side, I had a similar discussion with a cousin that was 7-8 older than me about eating pork being about upbringing (as if it was not a religious upbringing thing), and I noticed that on my maternal side, they took the faith more seriously. But due to the split in the family it never really led me to being shunned or looked at poorly. I am thankful enough that it never was necessary for me or my family to be close to other relatives because I live in Yurop and we've made external contacts through school, etc.
I never liked pretending, and I never liked the role I was attributed in that family anyway - I was "miss Deutschland" or "miss Manga" because we moved to Germany and because I loved manga at the time. I was never my own person in that family, and I wasn't called by my first name by my grandparents because of the letter "r" being inpronouncable for them (as they couldn't speak the language of the European country they moved to well, if at all), which made me even more dissociated from any relation with them. So when my parents divorced due to my father's violent behavior, and after father died, I lost that side of the family without regret. I've been marginalized my whole life anyway so I don't see what keeping appearances would bring me.

I'd rather leave the details up to interpretation because I don't wanna dox myself in any way shape or form, due to my family being a large one with second and third degree branches everywhere in the world.

Living in a muslim country as an exmuslim, it feels like I might as well not exist. Everyone I have ever known sees me as a muslim, I am a muslim in everyone's eyes. Then aren't I one, effectively? No one knows this about me, so it may as well not exist. I just wish I could become a muslim again somehow, I feel so isolated from everything around me, I don't even feel real. Putting up an act 24/7, always, never slipping up, I am so tired, I've never once felt at home, or like I belonged. I don't feel a connection to anyone I've ever met. Friends. Family.

All the shit you've been taught, reciting something when you step out the house, when you close all the doors, when you step into the toilet even, fuck. Praying 5 times a day, it's so hard to keep it up when I do not believe in it at all. I've wasted so much of my life, the one chance I'll get in this world, doing things I do not believe in.

They're good people, but I don't have the heart to tell them about myself. I know it won't do any good anyway. So I call them semi regularly and visit them sometimes, still pretending to be muslim. It's much easier than pretending all the time at least.
>>1928443Ugh, this hit too close to home. I'd been pretending for so long I've lost my sense of self. When I left the religion back in high school, I focused all my energy on escaping. I picked a major that's in high demand in Europe even though I wanted something else, and studied my ass off to have good grades to get accepted in a uni there, no time for social life or hobbies. I became a shell of a human, and extremely anti social because I didn't dare get too close to anyone since I only knew muslims.
Now that I finally reached my goal, I honestly feel lost. I have no passion for my job, and it's difficult to make new friends as an adult, let alone as an exmuslim immigrant.

If that were to happen, I would seriously consider relocating to another city.

So I don't know if it might be an unpopular opinion, but I believe the only tool that can counter Islamism (especially in Muslim nations themselves) is nationalist dictatorship. I've talked to Saudi mutuals who've told me how much freedom they have compared to previous generations and the leader of Saudi Arabia justifies it through a sense of nationalism, saying 'we are returning to our true selves' Something like this would not have been possible a decade ago and this was the case in the past with our nations as well, most of us had secular nationalist dictators who were overthrown by the CIA and that led to 'democracy,' which in turn led to the rise of Islamists in the first place.

>>1937035Islam was originally designed to unite the various petty tribes that inhabited the Arabian peninsula, so it made special effort to become a homogenizing force. In areas where Islam was introduced through conquest, the rulers posited Islam, and the Arabic language, as a unifying undercurrent that connected the various people's that caliphs controlled. In a lot of ways, the various peoples that the caliphs conquered lost their pre-Islamic national identities and were subsumed into the pan-Arab identity that we see in the MENA countries today. It's interesting seeing how extremist wahhabism groups like ISIS make special effort to destroy pre-Islamic architecture, art, and traces of unique identity across the countries that were once under their control. Things that come to mind are the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan or the Roman temples in Syria. These extremists want to destroy our links to the past. So I think there is a lot of truth when you say:
>Nationalism is the only way to counter Islamism.Would it be aghast to teach Coptic, the continuation of the language of the pharaohs, to Egyptians? Or introduce Punic traditions to the citizens of Tunisia, or Phoenician etymologies to Lebanese places? To revitalize the Berber traditions in Algeria and Morocco? Although most of the MENA countries have shared a common Islamic history for centuries, there was a great deal of time before Islam where each of the MENA cultures were unique and very separate. The caliphs, and later, the Ottomans, needed Islam to unify their empires, but I don't think that Islamist politics need to continue into the modern age. Just my two cents on the topic.

Think Nasser vs the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s why the US accusing Saddam of 9/11 was jarring, he probably hated al qaeda more than conservatives Americans do.
You can actually see it with Saudi now. What’s his face is playing up Saudi nationalistic sentiment and a somewhat reduced wahabi sentiment.
But imo Arab countries aren’t that bad. Pakistan on the other hand needs a whole restructuring from the ground up.

hell the vast majority of Islamist militant groups can be linked to the Soviet Afghan war, the CIA set up networks in Madrasas for foreign volunteers to be sent to Afghanistan to fight the Soviets, these men were from across the Arab world and even South East Asia, they were trained in irregular warfare, insurgency and formed their own groups in the conflict, one of these groups being Al-Qaeda
when these men returned home they were treated as heroes in their countries and had a great deal of influence, thus they started their own Jihadist groups with in their country for their glorious Jihad, these groups eventually spread and then form their own separate groups, only recently thanks to local authoritarian rule were most of these groups finally crushed.

abusive cults anymore. Laws are created that say men and women are equal and that you can't beat them or your kids in the name of religion.

Anyone who's lived in the world knows shitty people exist in every strata of society regardless of race, religion, creed, etc. If your environment was limited to living with a certain group of people and that's all you've known and a lot of them were shitty to you, then naturally you'd grow up resenting them thinking everyone in that group was shitty bc that's all you've known - it's subjective.

>Anyone who's lived in the world knows shitty people exist in every strata of society regardless of race, religion, creed, etc.True, but the way people become shitty and enforce their shitty views will differ depending on these criteria. I expect men from different religions to be horrible people by default but they won't show it the exact same way depending on the religion and where they live for instance. And I'm not a scrote either but circumcision relates to my first point, why do it to your newborn son instead of letting him choose when he's a grown man and can get an appointment at the clinic by himself after all? I'm not sure if FGM also counts because it seems to depend a lot of other criteria and not just on religion and you have to take sexism and pseudoscience (men believing that the clitoris won't stop growing until it's mutilated, typically) into account.

This shows in superstitions and traditional clothing, as well as cooking sometimes. For example, Moroccans still believe in witchcraft and practice it, despite it contradicting their Muslim beliefs. The Levant and Turkey (ironically) still don't wear hijab and practice art and music despite claiming to be Muslim, even saudis have beliefs in legends from the past that contradict islam, believe in some superstitions like wearing specific necklaces made of paper with specific writing to ward off evil in some tribes, and making alcoholic drinks in ramadan as a tradition (it's not alcoholic when just made but after sitting in the fridge for a few days it turns alcoholic, it's not banned and people can keep it in their fridges in secret, it's a meme on social media for a reason), Bedouins also seem to be the least people to follow the religion with their traditional clothing and living style where men and women used to hang around each other with no one screaming "HARAM!".

I hope this is okay to talk about here.

She has good education, university level, good job, nice friends, but the moid she was seeing was very adamant on her converting to Islam for her to continue the relationship, and she did it.. I don't understand how, or why. She also dropped the whole Islam is a feminist religion and converted. She would come to family dinners and get together often and she just vanished for a while. I was very upset because I thought perhaps he was holding her away from us. Luckily, they ended the relationship and she reverted to being non religious, but I guess it's a semi vent/question, how does this happen and how can I approach people I know if they are in same predicament who are ready to convert without it coming off as "racist" or islamphobic..?

>>1947360A friend of mine has, years ago. She had an online friend who was willing to RP as a prospective husband 'as a prank', learnt HTML to make a fake Muslim dating website with like 3 pages in a language that one of her other online friends translated for her, and convinced her parents that she had found a wealthy husband abroad. His profile had photos of Mecca and expensive cars and houses that she'd taken from the internet. The husband himself was a random photo from a birthday party that she'd chosen because there was a woman in a hijab in the corner. This was in the late 90s and her parents were very gullible, so it worked. She went to a different country, changed her name, and spoke to her parents once a year. She always called from a payphone because her nonexistent husband didn't let her use their house phone for such expensive calls. She slowly lost contact with them.
Turns out that her family got a bit suspicious about the lack of contact when the internet and phones became more common, her parents still had the computer that she'd used and got one of the younger family members to go through it. Most of the sites she had accounts on were gone at this point but she got email notifications saying she'd gotten messages on the sites that were still up, that she hadn't logged onto for years, telling her to call her parents and come home. She was really shaken up about it. She googles herself every so often just in case anything comes up and it normally doesn't but her parents have since put her information online asking people to find their daughter. Luckily they used her old name and said she was in a different country, but she's been absolutely devastated that they found all this stuff on the computer after 20+ years. She's got workplace adjustments in place in case she gets kidnapped. It's a stressful enough situation that she's considering making a fake obituary for herself saying she died some years ago in the hopes that they'll fuck off.
When you leave, cut and dye your hair, buy clothes in styles and colors you'd never wear normally, change your eyebrow shape and get glasses if you don't already wear them. If you do, get different frames. That's cheaper than surgery and gives you instant results. Changing your name might be a bad idea since there's a public database of changed names and ironically you'll be easier to find. Avoid all social media at all costs. There are plenty of Muslims in France, you won't be the only one there with your name. When you're able to, get rid of any electronics you brought with you from home, in case they're bugged.
Find a job ASAP, ideally one that isn't public facing so you have less chance of being recognized. Doing sewing on the side is a good idea.
If you're worried that your parents suspect something, find an event to get excited about that takes place after your planned leaving date. Make plans for the event, talk about what you want to wear, who you're excited to see. You can say that you're saving up for it if your parents are suspicious of your savings.
If you don't have a social media presence, or any pictures of yourself online, it's actually a lot harder to find you than you might think. Just be careful and constantly google yourself to keep on top of the situation.

In schools there's shit like "Omg respect your muslim friend, don't eat in front of them!"
In churches, priest are "blessing" muslims. Cults are exclusionary by definition, if you recognize muslims in churches, then religion doesn't mean shit anymore.

Not sure if it's pagan, but I think the concept of envy and the evil eye exists in islam. I live in islam central country, and people believe if you like something and don't say "mashaallah" it will get ruined somehow and force other people to say it and make a scene out of it. They also claim any illness or problems in their lives must be a result of someone envying them. The ways to get rid of that differs from culture to culture. "My country" uses things such as washing oneself with the leftover coffee of a cup the person who envied them drank from, writing quran verses on a paper with saffron as an ink and soaking it in water and reading mantras on it then drinking it, smothering oneself with olive oil while reading quran, getting water spat on by a sheikh, and other retarded shit. Moroccans use the blue hand with an eye on it and other stuff. Idk about other cultures though.

reading the Quran from a critical lens honestly reveals a lot, like how Jesus(Isa) is described, he could talk when he was just a baby, he created birds using clay and could cure lepers and all of this is showing that he's something far more divine then a human being, cause no other prophet Islam has this much active power.

Also, when you're an arabic speaker you realize how flawed linguistics wise it is. And they claim the entirety of the arabic language grammar and rules were based on the quran, but I doubt it, it doesn't sound like proper arabic at all. The arabic poems from the time sound better and have better grammar and spelling, but muslims have to cope with every typo and grammatical error but claiming it has a deep lore behind it or something kek.
>Jesus was a divine beingI think it's because according to some theories, Islam is a sect of Christianity that believed in a prophet that will come after Jesus, but they were scrutinized by Europeans, so they immigrated to the middle east to escape them and be able to start their new religion. I also read -though in questionable sources- that Mohammed and his family were descendants from a priest family that's tasked with taking care of the Ka'aba, and he somehow found out about that Christian sect, and he had some mental illness that made him schizo af and believe he's the new prophet and his family's role is somehow related to that religion. He also larped as poor when his family was rich, and would paint himself as modest after gaining a huge following in his hadiths, then turn around and brag about how many slaves he owns and how many women he was married to etc.

And there's a bathroom, too and I get some tissues with me just in case I needed to wipe or wash myself. I have a husbando and I'm also a fujo to an extent, so all these imaginary worlds and characters doing sexual stuff inside my head keep me at bay. I sometimes get so lost in the world inside my head I forget it's not my reality. Won't be surprised if I ended up schizophrenic or psychotic kek. I'm not interested in romance and being in a relationship though, because I've learned being tied down to someone is a cage no matter who they are, and even if it's a non-muslim non-arab person, I'd still feel emotionally "caged" if that makes sense, like I'm held hostage and can't do shit so the other person won't threaten me with "severing ties" and make a scene out of me not wanting to be with them. I don't want the stress of worrying about someone stalking me because I broke up with them, or knowing some things about me I wish I didn't tell them.

>>1996297I think there’s a few factors explaining it. Typically Somali women are black and Muslim and female and they experience discrimination for all those aspects from within and outside their community. It’s peak intersectionality. Thanks to Islam, they have less freedom to move around, they have to wear the hijab and that marks them as an outsider making assimilation nearly impossible. Being attracted to social justice makes sense for her and her circumstances. And this is stuff isn’t exclusive to Somalis.
After the civil war in the 1990s, millions of somalis were spread out in Africa and the world. For the ones who came to the west, they were refugees and outsiders. To cope with the horrors of war and its losses and being in a new foreign environment, many turned to stricter forms of Islam. And 9/11 exacerbated anti-Muslim bigotry, which assimilation difficult not impossible and many Muslims began to solely identify as Muslim. The children (zoomers and beyond) grew up with a stricter form of Islam compared to their parents and grandparents. It’s not uncommon to have parents who wore short shorts, smoked and drinker and partied at clubs screaming at their own daughters for even a single hair out. It’s an unfair and frustrating life. Relating back to the SJW angle, maybe it’s easier to fight against outside bigotry than the strict hypocritical parents. People take you seriously and listen to you in left wing circles compared to other places. Modern leftists do the work of blasphemy laws without having to install them into law. Exmuslims cannot speak out without being censored and drowned out thanks to leftists

I really don't wanna seem like I'm defending Islam, I really don't but there's narrative among western libfems and radfems that needs to die, regarding the iranian islamic revolution, there's this idea that the revolution happened cause men were worried about losing power and cause they were scared of westernization, so they deposed the progressive government and installed religious dictatorship that oppressed women, that's the general Idea and its given feminists in the west fears and anxieties about a "it could happen here" type scenario in the west and margaret atwood famously wrote a handmaids tale based on this premise and here's the thing, this narrative is false and has been manipulated by to create an insufferable element of self victimization
here's the thing people need to understand, Iran under the Shah was an oppressive dictatorship, the vast majority of men and women were farmers and workers living as peasants, anyone who spoke out against the Shah was found by a secret police, jailed without trial, tortured and either executed or forced to rot in those jails, people were literally starving, yes there was a westernized progressive lifestyle for a small urban elite of 15% of the nation, but the vast majority of Iranian women were illiterate peasant farmers, people revolted against the Shah not cause they were angry that women were wearing skirts but cause they couldn't feed their children, the Shah's regime also had arrested every liberal, communist, nationalistic and leftist political leader, so all those were left were the clerics who ended up leading this peasant movement and creating the state of Iran as it is today
I'm not defending Islam or the religious radicals here, but I hate the way feminists in the west have hijacked this tragedy and use it as a tool to feel more oppressed "Iran was a progressive country, we could lose our rights just like they did, If we aren't careful" and that's a fantasy, the cultural conditions that happened in Iran do not exist in the west.
No. 2006881
>>2006326How do you know that? I bet You're not even Iranian! Iran under Shah's rule was indeed progressive and he granted women many rights which they never had before. The reason Khomeini started opposing Shah was that he gave women the right to vote which Khomeini thought was against Sharia.
Also 'people were starving'???
Actually the years immediately before the revolution were the most prosperous for Iranians. Their per capita income had increased considerably. And after the White Revolution the ownership of the land was taken from the clergy and Khaans and was given to the farmers working on it. The revolution of '79 happened for many reasons none of which was about the economy or being poor. I encourage you to learn Persian and read Khomeini and MEK and Toudeh party and why they struggled against the Shah in their own words.

>>2006326Almost every thirdie country on earth was "Progressive elite living in the capitol with everyone else being impoverished farmers". It was like that in Burma, it was like that in India, it was like that in the Philippines, it was like that in Peru. The 1970s was literally a different time and the world as a whole was a lot poorer. You're right in that the Clerics exploited a power vacuum, but there was nothing particularly egregious about the Shah's regime going by the standards of the time.
I don't think the Iranian Revolution really got solidified until the Iran Iraq war, where there was 8 years of fanaticism, bombing and trench warfare. And the only reason Saddam invaded was because the country was wrecked by the Iranian Revolution and in a weak state. It was an unfortunate series of bad rolls that nobody really could anticipate, and even at the time it took everybody by surprise.

>>2007077Lol, yeah, the linguistics are a mess in it but no one wants to admit it. Watch vidrel stuff for more info. The only stuff it says that aren't bad are shit like "respect your parents, don't kill innocent people, don't do self-destructive stuff" and other basic moral shit. Only thing I'd say it isn't bad and has a point about is alcohol being bad for you. Hadith has similar lessons with hygiene and grooming being added into the mix, and giving money to the poor, being nice to animals, not being racist or enslaving people (but they still were racist and enslaved people anyways) and stuff like that from what I remember. The channel I linked has videos on hadith, too, and has English subtitles. All the lessons aren't things you'd need god to enforce you to do it, but the people of the region are built too different and have a weird culture that makes them unable to do the right thing naturally without religion forcing them into it and making them fear eternal punishment if they don't do it.
On a related tangent, there's this story about a person who fetches water from a will in their shoe to give it to a thirsty dog, and they go to heaven for it. In some interpretations it's a regular good man, and in others it's a prostitute who wasn't a Muslim but went to heaven for giving the dog water. And their antithesis is the same in both stories, a woman who kept a cat in a cage and never let her eat, not even dig into the dirt for food, and she went to hell for it. Weird story because it kinda contradicts Islamic teaching about how believing in allah and Mohammed is the key to heaven but whatever.

the increased racism ever since the palestine-israel conflict gained the most momentum it ever has globally is genuinely frustrating me. i'm against islam (and other religions) as much as the next person and i'm not defending it but people really treat that religion as something you're genetically predisposed to if you're ethnically from a country, and that it's as essential to your existence as like, bones are kek. like you can't possibly exist or change without it. i know, i'm in the minority, i get it; and yes muslims are in fact stubborn about leaving their religion. they can't even believe that it's not only possible for someone like us to not be a muslim but even gay like i am they can't fathom that it's a reality, not just a "leftist" hypothetical because they honestly believe in the terrorist uber orthodox muslim caricaturisations as being True and Honest reality (really doesn't help at all that a lot of immigrants are in fact insane muslim orthodox and amp it up due to insecurity of "losing their identity" and "westernization") and their countries have always been woke havens of safety. like, i deserve to just die even though i don't agree with this religion just because i was born in a country that's muslim which makes me complicit in it, i can't even hope for change, and i can't leave this place and move away from it either because i'll be polluting europe or whatever. like i'm at a loss for the solution here. i'm aware that they just hate people like me and not the religion itself, it just sucks constantly being associated with it no matter what and hated as a result. i'm not even ashamed of my country or ethnicity, my country hasn't always been muslim as islam was brought here through conquest and colonization so it feels extra unfair. i just can't help but think people who think like that are genuinely retarded and it makes me sad for them, i'm not even saying that condescendingly i really mean it. at the end of the day they'll always have the upper hand anyway so whatever. i guess i'll just continue to suffer here as i apparently deserve to and worse, which i can't never do anything about just because of my ethnicity. better safe than sorry! it hurts that i actually get where they're coming from.

>>2039442It's not that simple because it depends on how the people from her ethnic group are like in which European country. nta but I'm saying this from my own personal experience. I don't see myself as muslim, I was born and raised in a western European country but my parents are moderate muslims. Sure, avoid rude, racist people but long term if I keep having job interviews with racist hiring managers, then what? I had problems during a previous job a few years ago because my manager assumed I was muslim just based on my race. On the other hand, while normal people avoid me because they assume I'm a deranged muslim with a stick up my ass, people from my ethnicity assume I'm as much of a deranged muslim with a stick up my ass as they are and get very belligerent when they see I'm not. If this anon moves to a country with a lot of muslims from her country these people could try to socialize with her at some point, stalk her, gossip behind her back and ruin all her efforts to try and find peace. To this day I have to be paranoid for my own safety and can't have a love life as a result even though I'm in a secular country, just in case some random people would try and come up to me and it turns out they actually know my relatives or coworkers, and it has happened before.

>>2040897It's not that strange. It's really annoying though when it happens. I say this as a European, so you have my perspective now, basically if you're from a muslim majority ethnicity you'll have other muslims assuming you're bffs by default and they'll act like you're a race traitor and potentially racist against them and yourself if you tell them you actually don't believe in god. Sometimes it results in some muslims verbally or physically assaulting others for not fasting or for drinking alcohol in public, and sometimes some guys get killed by random guys for eating food outside because muslim thought the
victim was also muslim like them and not fasting properly or provoking them. Sometimes it happens to christian black people who are from african christian majority countries, or their parents or grandparents were from there. Some french people from the west indies like Martinique or Guadeloupe are mixed and look north africans so they get shit on for that too and most of these guys are christian and eat pork all the time, I've seen it happening several times at my previous job and it led to crazy arguments.

>>2043787You know that Christian women not veiling in the West is merely cultural, plus European Christianism deviating from its origins, right? The Bible has many passages where veiling is mentioned in different ways, so it cannot be argued that it's 100% obligatory, but it definitely has many mentions comparing women who do not veil as being naked and a shameful act, and during prayer it's actually required for women to veil. There is even a passage that states that Christian women who do not veil will go to hell. In the Middle East most Christian women veil because it's shameful not to, so a religious practice backed by cultural pressure in the region to veil.
Now, the real issue here is fundamentalist religion having political power (i.e. being The State). There are records of the middle ages in Europe comparing unveiled women to prostitutes, and prostitutes performed sexually immoral acts (fornication), and sexual immorality received punishments which ranged from corporal punishment to death. So if ever a fundamentalist Christian state were to emerge, they would definitely have a lot of background to ensure that "righteous Christian women" are to veil themselves or be subjected to punishments for sexual immorality.
So really the lesson here is not Judaism vs Christianity vs Islam in terms of which one treats women with a little bit more decency. All three have in their scriptures and culture to subjugate women, and will do so if given enough power where their governments want to implement fundamentalist religious practices.

>>2047853It's impossible to have hobbies or interests in a Muslim household. Everything ever is haram. Cartoons are haram, drawing is haram, music is haram, singing is haram, photography is haram etc., and the reasoning behind it and threats of punishment after death are insane. When I was a kid, mom would tell me that Allah will pierce my ears with hot metal rodes for listening to music, then will fill my ears with molten lava. Didn't stop me though because I like going against the grain kek. Singing and music are haram because they're considered, get this, sexual. It's too sexy to hear a woman singing or the beat of music because you're gonna get horny and shake your body in a "suggestive" manner, which btw dancing is also haram for this. My tinfoil behind why it's considered that way is because back in early islam and before it and also during its cursed "golden age", they rented singers and dancers for sexual entertainment specifically, where they made them sing sexually suggestive songs and made the dancers do sexually suggestive dances with minimum to no clothes at all. So with time that became an association in the culture, and when they reformed Islam at some point to use it as a governmental dictatorship tool, they added these rules to further control people and make them dedicated to the religion and the leaders 100%, without anything derailing them off the only approved and allowed path,-the path of absolute obedience and no personality, identity, or individuality and making them desire a normal free life. The way cults usually work. But the leaders and rulers are all allowed to have all that stuff ofcourse because they're just ~so speshul and better than everyone else~. And as the comments of your vidrel shows, it worked on those simpletons with no lives, and they keep each other in check because that's part of the cult programming starting at childhood ofcourse.

I'm not allowed to buy an instrument or get a microphone, both of my parents are against it and would destroy it on purpose if I get one behind their backs and they find out about it, though it's not like I can leave the house without either of them. For singing, when I used to sing loudly as a kid to practice, they'll always storm into my room and yell at me and tell me I sound like a dying donkey, so I had to learn to sing quietly and that fucked me over because now I can never sing at full power with my full loud real voice, it's gone forever (or maybe until I'm out of here and can be all alone in deep silence). I found an extra storage room a floor above to be a good place to practice around last year, and when I was recording I took my time with it recording multiple times until I got something I like, told my mom I'm working out and taking a walk on the roof, and she believed it but eventually got too suspicious because I spent too much time there for her liking (it was a summer break and I had nothing to do but those niggas are nosey af). She entered the room mid recording and ruined it for me telling me to come down and stop, so I never went there again because I'll never get to practice and record peacefully.

Even in more liberal Westernised families the daughters are always restricted in some aspects of their dress, interests, education etc. because “religion” but the sons can do whatever the fuck they want no matter how explicitly forbidden it’s supposed to be. Porn use, extramarital sex (with non-Muslim girls), alcohol, partying, video games, making music and wearing trendy Western brand clothes were completely acceptable for the boys but god forbid a girl wants to take off her hijab or be an artist or have any job that’s not healthcare-related. I’d have more respect for these people if they policed their sons as much as their daughters (moids actually need to be policed to behave properly) but there’s always an extremely blatant double standard and they’re not even embarrassed about it.

>>2047245>That's why half of my generation and zoomers from my ethnicity is coping by focusing even more on Islam and the other half rejects it but hides itSorry if this is kind of off-topic, but I remember reading something about this in a book or a research paper somewhere years ago about why radical Islam is becoming a problem for 3rd or 4th generation immigrants.
The researcher was using Algerian Muslims that emigrated to France after France lost Algeria. It was basically saying, the first generation that immigrated did so because they had genuine love for Western ideals of secularism and laïcité after experiencing the issues of their Islamic culture. Their children, the second generation, grew up in an environment where there weren't many other ethnic minorities around, so they identified more strongly with the French national identity and although they weren't directly connected to their homeland, they were far removed from it and considered France to be their homeland. The third generation, those born in the early 90s, grew up in a period where more and more refugees were coming into the country. Since there were more refugees, racism became more prevalent, and now the 3rd generation had to deal with others saying that they weren't French enough or assuming that they were from anywhere besides France. This lead to issues, because now the 3rd generation did not feel "French" and began identifying with their grandparents' country of origin. This is a problem, because they had never experience that other country nor the culture there, so they began leaning into Islam as a cultural "stand-in" for what they were "missing" in a non-organic way. In the end, the 3rd generation began identifying as Muslims first, and French second, which led to a rise of fundamentalist Islam. It was weird to read this because it reminds me of the 3rd or 4th generation British Muslims that are very very fundamental in their interpretation of Islam, they've never lived under Islamic rule, nor have they experienced the culture of a Muslim-majority country, but because they are so alienated from mainstream British culture, they feel it necessary to identify strongly with Islamism. I just wanted to share because I thought it was an interesting analysis, and I also really wish I remember where I read this!

The diasporoids don't realize that they AREN'T from the countries that their parents or grandparents are from. They don't wanna ever admit that. They are so focused on being outsiders to the country that they live in, that they forget that they'd be just as much an outsider in the country their parents or grandparents are from. I remember talking to a 3rd generation Persian once last year when the Iranian protests were gearing up, and she was adamant that the "real Iranians like [her]" didn't want an end to Islamic rule and that it was just a Western psyop, and I had to remind her that she wouldn't really
know what an Iranian wants or doesn't want because she's never actually interacted with an Iranian. She couldn't understand what I meant when I said she had only ever interacted with Americans from an Iranian background, not a true born-and-raised Iranian. It was bizarre.

>>2064000I'm the anon you're replying to and I'm actually French with one French-Algerian parent. What you said isn't inaccurate but there are more subtle things to take into account that you can only notice by being there. In my case my grandparents went to France when Algeria was still a colony so legally speaking it was more like moving from one city to another and I've noticed that people like me tends to have a slightly different opinion on the matter of how French we are as a result. My grandma wasn't super educated but she went to primary school and iirc even middle school in her tiny village in Algeria so she was still a lot more educated than the other Algerian women of her generation who moved to France back then, she helped a lot of illiterate women for paperwork and I've noticed it's also a factor of how my siblings, cousins and I see things. She was muslim but was educated enough to still be a lot more open minded than others and learn from her mistakes. My mom is born and raised in Morocco so while she's muslim too and educated us in a shitty way she also became a lot more open minded with time (too late imo though) because she's not from that category of people we're talking about, she doesn't have to act a certain way to cope for some kind of identity crisis. Meanwhile I read a book from a woman almost my age whose case fits almost exactly the people you're talking about and she talks about her grandma and other women like her not even speaking French, not being allowed outside by their husbands, not having jobs when they were young enough to work because their husbands didn't allow them and it's a lot of small things that contribute to how the third gen has been raised when growing up. I also noticed the most fervent muslims around my age nevee set foot in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, etc. so being muslim feels like a cope for an identity crisis. And their own parents also projected their own ideas and insecurities with shit like "we're not French/like them so why tf do you want presents from christmas?" The ones like me who visited relatives there on a semi regular basis for years don't even think about it and many of the women I know whose grandparents moved there when Algeria was still French and who personally know Algeria just don't eat pork but smoke cigarettes, drink a shit ton of alcohol, divorce without being treated like whores because they have nothing to cope for and their own parents grew up doing that and hiding it from their own grandparents. That's why I said it's half and half. By the way this also more or less applies to a lot of Black people from muslim majority sub saharian African countries that are former French colonies.
On top of that, France is insanely racist. A lot of Maghrebis born and raised in France have two or three citizenships and passports so it's no wonder they feel targeted when the right wing wants to implement laws to fuck over pocs specifically. But they also really racists with people from the West Indies just because they're Black, Indian or mixed so in their mind they don't look French. They tend to be catholic like most French people, tend to only have a French citizenship for a lot of generations and islands like Guadeloupe, Martinique, half of Saint-Martin etc. are legally fully French even if they're far away but they're often treated like pieces of shit low IQ immigrants who somehow steal jobs or are lazy jobless bums at the same time too instead of people moving from one city to another in their own country for university and work. So seeing shit like this doesn't help anyone feel more comfortable with how French (and European) people perceive us.

Anyone else struggle with having a Muslim father who is not pressuring you to get married but pressuring you to completely avoid all moids to a psychotic extent? I hate scrotes so I already avoid them willingly for the most part but my dad is so irrationally possessive that he doesn't even want me to have the rare moid around me that I get along with or interact with moids in any context.
I am 26 year old straight woman and I've never had a boyfriend. I abstain from moids so much that my dating history consists of schizoid imaginary relationships with anime boys and 3D husbandos. My dad doesn't allow me to have male contacts in real life or online. He checks who I message on my phone and who follows me on social media, then makes me block all scrotes who aren't family. If he sees me talk to a moid he doesn't know irl he immediately suspects it is my boyfriend and gets angry. I had a female friend who would use very romantic terms jokingly to refer to me in DMs and when my dad saw that, he thought I saved my secret boyfriend under a girl's name to hide him and started having a mental breakdown like why do you have a boyfriend, why do you talk to a man like that, implying that I'm acting "like a whore" for responding to my fucking female friend who's just joking. He didn't believe my explanations and called her to check if it's really a girl or not, this embarrassed me so much that I wanted to die. When he found out she was legit, he was still upset and he said that even if it's a girl, we shouldn't talk to each other like that, blah blah blah.
It irritates me that I literally couldn't stay away from moids than I already do but my dad still finds something to complain about. He told me openly that he never wants me to get married and if I absolutely want to get married, I must do it after his death because seeing me with a moid infuriates him and he will never see any moid as worthy of me. Sounds good on a surface level but I don't want to die alone. I'd like to experience dating but it is not an option for me. Like I mention, he checks my phone and laptop regularly to make sure I'm not talking to moids. He doesn't let me go anywhere he doesn't know about, he always knows who I'm seeing at what place, their phone numbers, what I'm wearing, all that shit. I barely go anywhere besides my home and work without him. Being treated like this makes you feel like a prisoner and he has been like this my whole life. It's so tiring

>>2064371I did. First thing first, wear the lightest thing possible because Mekkah is hell on earth literally (ironic considering it's a religious location), the temperature reaches 50° C there because of the desert weather, so get tons of water and things to keep you cold. Shoes will get stolen, so bring cheap flipflops you won't worry about being stolen. There are some pickpockets and "people" who sexually harras others in that setting because it's a cramped crowd, so keep distance as much as possible between you and strangers, stick with women or your family, and don't bring anything expensive with you on a bag. There are some hotels and restaurants around the area but they're very expensive, so try booking a cheap one a bit furhter than the holy mosque. If you're into fried chicken, try out Al-baik, nice fast food restaurant and reasonable prices. There are also some fancy cafes with saudi coffee (it sucks ass but if you're interested, give it a shot) and desserts and some cold snacks to take a break from the weather. When I went with my family, we found a parking spot a bit further away from the mosque and had to walk, and our shoes all got stolen so we walked barefoot on hot boiling asphalt, so keep your shoes with you, and park somewhere close to the mosque. But if I'm not mistaken, the new parking spots are paid? And you need a reservation ahead of time online or something like that, I'm not 100% sure.
The umrah steps themselves are very boring, but it doesn't take that long. I fake prayed with everyone just to not get into trouble, so just mime being a Muslim until it's over.

And regarding the son and daughter thing, I was thinking about this a while ago, and I reached a conclusion that it's because my brother is male, he can beat the shit out of my old frail sick parents if he wanted to and if they don't let them do what he wants, like it's so easy for him to rebel if he wanted to because he's physically stronger. And he's to them the useful one because he drives them around and run their errands outside the house, but they don't allow me to do that stuff, so that makes me useless, unless they make me do housechores and field work. Which is something they've been making me do since I was 7. They also urge me to get a job and get huge amounts of money to renovate the house, buy them plane tickets and let them tour the world, buy them a new fancy house etc. They feel entitled to the money I'd be making in the future because they 100% believe they own me and everything I own is theirs by default. They see me as a slave. I could easily say they never loved me as their own child, and all the abuse I've suffered on their hands is evidence of that. They even refuse to treat my illness or let me go to a hospital on my own because they want me to stay sickly and weak, while also making fun of my sickly weak appearance and all the symptoms I'm suffering from because of this imposed malnutrition they gave me on purpose. But I guess that makes me unable to truly love them or care about them, which would make leaving them an easy thing to do, I wouldn't feel guilty about it at all, I'd be happy if they suffered because of me.

Kind of a weird question but do some of you have an interfaith background? Like growing up with two religions at the same time? My grandfather was a Muslim and my grandmother was a Catholic, and surprisingly enough—they managed to make it work and were together for years. They did practice their respective faiths separately.
Due to this, I have both experiences with both religions—more on the Muslim side though. I was baptisized and went to a Catholic preschool, did the sign of the cross during the mornings—while also having worn the hijab and prayed in mosques and even memorizing the surah al-fatihah (I still know it). Granted, I was a very innocent child and didn't know the difference between the two.
I don't believe in either religions anymore. But I wonder if there are people with similiar backgrounds with me.

Muslims, especially the religious gulf Arabs, want us around for the numbers but they are so disgusted by our presence.
One benefit about being a black ex-Muslim, is that it’s easier to assimilate and distance yourself from mainstream Islam. Without a hijab, people wouldn’t assume you’re Muslim at all.

>>2093303>Funniest part about this is Egyptians aren't ethnically arabs and get bullied by gulf arabs for it kek. The ones who get upset when they're told Ancient Egyptians were Black know that, which is why they get upset in the first place. Their culture has been nearly erased and they cope however they can. In north Africa and among the north African diaspora in Europe in general it seems the ones who believe they're actual Arabs are uneducated. But then you also have people all over the world not knowing how to read a basic world map and confusing Arabic as a language, Islam and Arabs as an ethnicity which leads to all sorts of confusions. When the football world cup happened recently I remember a lot of Japanese tweets about Japanese people being shocked that Morocco is in Africa and nowhere near the middle East, and a lot of people were confused as to why the Moroccan team was saying it would try to win the cup to represent Africa as a whole.

I'm glad this thread exists. (forgive me for blog, I'm a christian anon living in a muslim country)
But anyways I just need to sperg about how much I despise muslim moids. Especially middle-aged or older ones. They're 1. The laziest fucks alive or 2. Biggest ragepigs on earth. Oftentimes both. There hasn't been a day where I've gone out and been spared the sound of scrotes screeching at someone (another scrote, their kids, their wife)
They sit at their cruddy office jobs all day, while their wives not only ALSO have a job, sometimes multiple if they tutor on the side, but raise the 3-6 (could be more but that's rare) kids he demanded until he has enough male heirs to waste his already low income on. (Heirs to what? I don't know, because all your savings will be gone sending those kids to school and feeding them. I still see huge vans holding 1 family sometimes), and when they come home expect to be worshipped with platters of food and praise from the kids they never bother with. (But will gladly beat tf out of anytime, I think slapping and screaming is the only way they know to problem-solve.)
And of course, they complain if a woman is loud/combative without looking at the beam in their own eye. They complain about all their problems while being the cause of them.
Not even going to start with how they treat their wives/sex.
But their worst sin is that two thirds of them get fat. You're in one of the hottest countries ever, sweat some pounds off.

>>2141758>Fuck is that really common in places where fundie Islam is widespread?idk because my family is pretty moderate and my family from my father's side comes from a fairly moderate region of the world in terms of islam but they're every weird about religion. My father believes in god but doesn't give a shit about islam until it benefits him but my mom is an enabler because she's a lot more religious. In my father's mind every woman is a whore as soon as they're born and he only has daughters, he's the type to care a lot about shit like his "honor" and when we were kids he was very strict and would even outright say that if we were kidnapped and raped by a pedophile it would be our fault and it would embarrass him so we have to be careful. I'm so paranoid as a result of all of this that I never had a bf despite my age, couldn't have normal friendships as a kid until I started university because everyone was hanging out with both boys and girls so I was automatically excluded from everything and I couldn't hide because even though I always lived in a big city relatives and family friends would see me outside from afar everytime and snitch what I did to my parents, and my sisters always hid their own boyfriends until the relationships are long enough that my parents can't say shit about it. I have a friend diagnosed with paranoia after being stalked for nearly a decade during her formative years by the same guy until she moved to the other side of the planet and even she tells me I'm too paranoid, so I assume it's pretty bad.
tldr; my parents are fairly traditional, these traditions are from before islam became a thing where they're from but islam made shit way worse. I assume countries/regions that are way stricter have normalized this kind of behavior.

>>2141495Nta but this is something I'm so afraid of. I'm arab but I can't 100% tell if my looks point to it or not, I like to believe I'm a bit ethnically ambiguous. But there are times when I look at the mirror or especially a picture of myself where I can tell which features are more "arab" and "unique" (feels weird saying that because said features are caused my incest, malnourishment, child abuse and neglect, and chronic illnesses inherited in the family/ethnicity) to my ethnicity. I'm always afraid of if I ever get to run away and live in the west, will people clock my ethnicity based on these features I obsess over? I'm even thinking of getting plastic surgery to make my ethnicity more ambiguous or even skin bleaching if it gets that bad. I really don't want people to perceive me as an "arab girl who was so abused she had to run away and live in the west". I don't want to stand out in a crowd, work environment or education environment if I decide to get a master's degree or a bachelor's in another major or something. I'm also afraid of the name thing, because while my first name is common, my "middle" name is literally my father's name, and my "family" name is just an adjective derived from the tribe/ethnicity name that can be easily googled and people would figure out where I'm originally from since my ethnicity only lives in a specific country, the one I was unfortunately born and raised in. Is there even a legal way for an immigrant or refugee to change their name or something? So I can get a fake western name on all my legal papers. Just the thought of going to a job interview and them asking me about my name on my CV drives me insane. Or if they use me as some "diversity" token. Or if my coworkers got curious and started asking me about it and everyone will just know me as that. It's so humiliating, horrifying and upsetting. Worst part is if I somehow came into contact with some retard from my shit country who would recognize the name structure and tribe, or from neighboring countries who'd also would know. It would literally be so dangerous and pose a threat to my life since they're OBSESSED with keeping everyone they think belongs to them in line and they'll probably try to get close to me and dig into my life to "punish" me for "betraying" them. All of this sometimes makes me want to kill myself. Sorry for turning this about me. I hope things get better for you.

>>2141758For many Muslims, especially arab ones, child abuse is good and encouraged, especially when it comes to daughters. They're taught that hitting children for not praying at 10 is ok, so go the extra mile and apply to it everything because it's "discipline" or whatever. Takes off the responsibility of actually educating their kids and talking to them. I lived like this my whole childhood and during the sparse occasions where I could watch cartoons in peace, it made me so sad that the characters have nice parents who talk to them and never beat them up, and I wished I was like them because even as a kid I knew that wasn't right or normal. Tbf not everyone does this and it differs from family to family, some girls at school were shocked when I told them about this and would tell me about how nice they're parents are, and when I brought it up to my parents they'd say they're "spoiled whore girls" or whatever to make me feel bad about disliking this.
For the marriage and babymaking shit, it's because the king of retards Mohammed may he rest in piss and shit said Muslims MUST have the biggest number of kids possible so the muzzie population would be the biggest and it would be the biggest religion so he can brag about them during judgment day in front of other religions and groups/populations, and they took it to heart. It's not and will never truly be about family, or I and many others would feel like we had actual familial connections growing up. But it's so obvious that that's their own real motive behind this because the parents always feel like they're forced to do this and hate it, so they let it out on their kids, plus the whole arranged/forced marriage thing doesn't help either.

My generation knows better but my grandma forced my uncle to marry some random woman just because they're from the same ethnicity and we're in Europe, he just committed domestic violence on her all the time, she divorced even though it's "haram" as a result and because he was a bum as well, she took the kids/my cousins with her a long time a go and to this day my family still talks about her as if it were all her fault and she was a degenerate for not wanting to be beaten up and poor. My father lost his shit when he learned my cousins changed their family name to take hers and my sisters and I told him he and my uncle are a bunch of retards and our cousins did the right thing, he promptly shut the fuck up after that. My uncle didn't even want kids. He already pumped and dumped another woman long before that after promising to marry her. This doesn't apply just to my family, all the Muslim men I know who are gen X or older are degenerates, project their degeneracy on women, have a bunch of kids and they either neglect them or beat them up on a regular basis if they even know about their existence in the first place. And the women either divorced pretty fast or stayed for way too long and regretted it.
This might be similar with other religions, very similar things happened to the very few Jewish women my age when they were growing up, and the one woman I knew from a conservative Christian family was treated in a similar way to prevent her from being a whore so she left as soon as possible and we met in university. She was drunk as hell when she told me, I still can't believe we were bonding over our shit lives and sexism in the context of religions instead of literally anything else we had in common. It doesn't seem nearly as widespread though, because Catholics in my country are the majority but all they do is pig out during Christmas Eve and maybe go to church before a job interview for good luck at most.

But now with this news… Who knows if it passes and who knows what other depraved sharia they'll try to introduce next, passed or not.

How in the hell do they want to blatantly give the okay to filthy pedo scrotes to go ahead and snatch up these kids to kill them with rape and violence and their own selfish brains, a house away from the parents who were supposed to protect you and only with a strange scrote who has sexual desire for you. Oh but maybe you need parental consent, suuuureeee, that changes everything, we all know what good and selfless parents muzzies are….
And the nerve of these "people", if you can even call them that, to go ahead and do the acts of the most depraved, and with their chest claim they are imitating a prophet, who is above humanity and selfish desires of people.

>>2148253>The Mamluk period is also important in Egyptian religious history. With few and therefore notable exceptions, the Muslim rulers of Egypt had seldom interfered with the lives of their Christian and Jewish subjects so long as these groups paid the special taxes (known as jizyah) levied on them in exchange for state protection. Indeed, both Copts and Jews had always served in the Muslim bureaucracy, sometimes in the very highest administrative positions. Even the Crusades apparently failed to upset the delicate balance between Muslims and Christians. Trade with the Italian city-states had certainly continued, and there is no evidence that the local Christians were held accountable for the Crusader invasions of Egypt.>With the establishment of the Mamluk sultanate, however, it is generally agreed that the lot of the Christians, both in Egypt and in Syria, took a distinct turn for the worse. One indication of this change is the increased production of anti-Christian polemics written by Muslim theologians. A possible reason for the change may have been the association of Christians with the Mongol peril. Because the Mongols used Christian auxiliaries in their armies—Georgians and Armenians in particular—they often spared the Christian populations of towns they conquered, while slaughtering the Muslims. Also, the diplomatic efforts aimed at uniting the Mongols with Christian European powers in a joint Crusade against the Muslims might have contributed to the Mamluks’ distrust of the Christians. But the dissatisfaction seems to have originated not so much with the Mamluk rulers as with the masses, and it seems to have been directed not so much against Christians’ sympathy for the Mongols as against their privileged position and role in the Mamluk state.>On several occasions popular resentment against the Copts’ conspicuous wealth and their employment in the government was manifested in public demonstrations. Both Muslims and Christians resorted to arson, burning the others’ sanctuaries to express their hatred. Under such pressure, the Mamluk government dismissed Christians from the bureaucracy on no fewer than nine occasions between 1279 and 1447. (It was usually necessary to appoint new Copts, since they alone understood the accounting system that had been used since pharaonic times.) In 1301 the Mamluks ordered all the churches in Egypt to be closed. As a result of these intermittent persecutions and the destruction of churches, it is believed that the rate of conversion to Islam accelerated markedly in the Mamluk period and that Coptic virtually disappeared except as a liturgical language. By the end of Mamluk rule, the Muslims may well have reached the same numerical superiority that they enjoy in modern times—a ratio of perhaps 10:1.https://www.britannica.com/place/Egypt/Contributions-to-Arabic-culture No. 2156941

This is a really controversial issue there currently. Part of the reason they’re so protected is because Netanyahu formed a coalition government to stay in power, essentially empowering more fringe/right-wing groups in the Israeli government. They also want to implement the Jewish version of sharia law (Halacha) which no one else wants. This problem will only grow because of how much they reproduce. Hopefully Bibi will be thrown into jail after this war is over and the Hasidim forced to integrate. Maybe that’s wishful thinking.

picrel is the reason why i can't get along with western radfems. It feels weird this poster doesn't realise how offensive and quite racist this is. afghan women, who are illiterate, are not even allowed to speak and are veiled at all times under the taliban's insane new policy, how would they even organize a nationwide campaign to eradicate men? they are beaten into submission and they feel lucky just not being beaten to death, this basically is saying that afghan women are weak because they do not daring to kill against heavily armed dangerous men who will flog or kill them

>>2237239I wouldn't be surprised if many women had done this and then gotten murdered for it. Wiping out all the men in the family won't do shit to change the Taliban's retardation.

Now there's a bunch of tiny factions of shrimp-dicked autists at war with each other over how much oxygen a woman is allowed to consume, while women are blamed for not drowning their sons at birth, because that'd end oh so well for the woman.
And let's not forget that you need to know how to make or obtain poison in order to do this. When women aren't allowed to go out unless supervised, that's not exactly easy. Using rotten food to give everyone the terminal shits would be the easiest way to go about it, but when everyone except the cook is dead, well…

>>2298661Islam’s epistemology is kinda stuck in the 7th century, so it’s no surprise it doesn’t have lore for Natives or aliens—it was made for the people of Arabia, and the Qur'an is really focused on Earth. Sure, scholars try to make it universal with concepts like
Tawhid or
fitrah, saying “everything is part of Allah’s creation,” but that doesn’t really scratch the itch when you’re wondering about, like, extraterrestrial civilizations. It’s like, you wanna believe, but then you realize the religion doesn’t really go beyond what it needed to control its immediate audience—no spicy side quests, just the same “humans are Allah’s favorite” main quest. So yeah, every time I feel guilty, I just remember Islam is like a game with no DLC. Lame as hell
