I wanna make clear that i don’t support what Israël is doing, but sometimes I Think that muslims don’t actually care about what Israël is doing but just hate them because they’re not muslim, because leaders like khameini and Saddam Hussein who killed thousands of muslims get praised in the Islamic World, what do you Guys Think?
I told her on the phone I ate steak, obviously lied and said it was halal but when she came home she actually fished through the bin to find the packet and realised it was “haram” and oh my god I’ve never heard her scream like that before, she screamed words like “kaffir” and started making fake vomiting sounds and was being SO dramatic and then told me she’s gonna get my uncles to talk to me about it tomorrow… these people are so tribal and disgusting and in a cult because she only reacted like that when she found out that it wasn’t cut in a violent ritual prayer and killed normally instead, I’m just gonna stay late at school tomorrow and stay late as I possibly can because now I’m scared of what she’s gonna do next
I have noticed that a lot of Muslim couples, especially Pakistani couples, do sometimes have kids with disabilities and in wheelchairs, etc., is this because of cousin marriage? incest? Being from a Pakistani Muslim family, I know that this topic isn't talked about. Is this something to be concerned about? I feel sorry for the kids.
My boyfriend and I are 17. We are both ex muslims. Yesterday, His family almost kicked him out because they saw us chatting about how we are atheiss. Elders at his place asked him to say the qalma and he did and they still won't believe him. They put hot metal on his leg to make him speak the truth.They are all saying that I was the one who diverted him from the "rIgHt pAtH". He is in lahore rn and hasn't eaten properly in days. His dad asked him to leave. We don't have any money. What should we do?
After leaving Islam fairly recently, I noticed that a lot of Muslims, whenever you try to discuss their prophet’s life with them and criticize something immoral he did, respond by telling you that you have no moral standard by which to distinguish right from wrong or judge Muhammad.
(Ignoring the fact that Muslims couldn’t give a shit about your moral standards anyway. They just want something they can use against you, something they can latch onto to attack you and your beliefs. For example, when a Christian criticizes slavery and concubinage in Islam, Muslims usually don’t try so much to justify these practices morally as they try to dig up Bible verses they believe permit slavery, just so they can convince themselves that both religions are Equal.)
Anyway, once you leave Islam and realize that Muhammad wasn’t a prophet receiving revelations from some god, that there isn’t even a god watching over us and commanding us to kill people, enslave women, and condemn women to the fires of hell simply for showing their hair—and that the whole thing is bullshit to begin with—you start to realize that Muhammad’s actions don’t just prove he wasn't a prophet sent by God. It proves that he was a man who didn’t believe in the existence of a god at all.
When you see that he spent his life enslaving people, killing, looting, raiding, and throwing his weight around, you begin to see him as a vile, godless man who didn’t believe in any afterlife, judgment, or accountability, and who never gave a damn about any of that in the first place. He understood that the fundamental law of life was survival of the fittest, so he decided to act accordingly. He was a man with no moral compass beyond his own whims and desires.
In other words, he fits the exact stereotype Muslims themselves constantly push about atheists: that an atheist has no moral standards to live by.
And that’s the irony: What Muslims hate the most are non-Muslims, while the person they love the most and consider a moral role model is someone who, at no point in his life, was ever a Muslim himself—not even after he claimed to be a prophet.
And the person who caused the most suffering to non-Muslims in the name of Islam was, himself, someone who wasn’t a Muslim either.
Another thing I find pathetic is how the poor, innocent Muslim, gets upset and starts crying if he misses just one of the five daily prayers he’s supposed to perform, feeling like he’s going to hell over it. Yet Muhammad didn’t establish and prescribe prayer in its current form until he was around 53 years old, and he died ten years later, at 63. That means he only performed the very prayers Muslims perform throughout their entire lives for about ten years. In other words, even the average Muslim alive today has performed more daily prayers than his own atheist prophet.
(This is just a point I wanted to make for Muslims who argue that if Muhammad was simply following his own desires, what would be the point of prayer, and what purpose would it serve? The point is that prayer serves to keep Muslims in a constant state of submission and fear of a god who will burn them in hell not only for missing a prayer, but even for delaying it. Eventually, that fear and terror can reach a point where Muslims are too preoccupied with worrying about their punishment to even think critically about the rest of their religion, Muhammad’s morality, or whether his claim to prophethood was ever true.)
Peace out.
lmao can we talk about this hypocritical stuff
I genuinely have no words. You can’t be both Muslim and gay. Ik this bc I clicked on this dudes profile.
About me:
20F
I love art, it's my passion. I like crocheting, junk journalling (basically making collages out of rubbish), doing anything crafty really and reading. I'm wanting to learn how to skateboard and code.
I'm drawn to animated shows and fantasy, but I'll watch something if it's highly recommended.
The only game I play is roblox so if anyone also does I would be happy to play with you.
I have leftist ideals, I'm feminist, care about the environment, bi. Also just hella depressed.
Ik this seems like a stupid question but idk what to do.
Mentally leaving is easy, physically tho. It’s like there are invisible barriers stopping me.
Like there this girl in my class who just this yr decided she wasn’t Muslim anymore. She was nvr a hijabi and has always worn revealing clothes, so when she told ppl she wasn’t Muslim anymore that was it. No one told her that xyz is haram don’t do that or gave her a side eye when she talked about going to the Halloween party that’s happening soon.
But me, I haven’t taken the hijab off yet (I’ve been wearing it since 5 yrs old so as much as I hate it it’s a part of me and idk how to do my hair), I still eat the halal food at skl just because the lunch ladies see my hijab and serve it to me, I still say inshallah and mashallah on reflex w/o thinking, etc.
Like ik it’s not anyone’s fault. They treat me like I’m Muslim because I appear Muslim. But idk how to stop.
Not to mention that I’m Somali. Everyone knows that most Somalis are Muslim it’s like my ethnic features speak for me. Compared to this girl who is south Asian but appears more ethnicity ambiguous.
All in all, I’m really struggling and idk how to get over this mental barrier. For fucks sake i left Islam almost 4yrs ago and next yr im going to uni. I refuse to keep up this charade at uni when im away from home. So any advice would be great.
I'm from the UK so I thought I'd have an easier time making ex-muslim friends or even generally non- religious friends.
I feel like people that didn't grow up with Islam don't understand how oppressive and controlling in can be and you come across wrong just for describing your life experience. Unless they grew up under a similarly controlling environment. So I would prefer making ex-muslim friends but where are they??
I accidentally hit the jackpot in year 7 ( at 11 years old) and became friends with another ex-muslim. We both independently strayed from religion, formed leftist views and were both gay and miraculously found each other. And it's never happened again.
I didn't realise how lucky I was, now that I'm 20 and I'm struggling to find anyone even atheist.
my nervous system knows no rest because I live with family and need to pretend I’m muslim so ofc I’m always policed on whether or not I for real prayed and read quran it’s sooo fucking exhausting and I’m constantly on edge. I hate whoever spread Islam to my country all of my problems stem from my family being religious. can’t wait to move out when I’m rich enough religion of piss notnpeace
I felt compelled to leave the faith because Islam was confusing me greatly; I didn't know who or what to believe. Everyone described Islam differently for instance, some claimed the Quran doesn't mandate ritual prayer, while another group insisted that performing the five daily prayers is absolutely required. In any case, I wasn't living according to Islamic practice; I didn't perform the five daily prayers or even a single one simply because I had no desire to do so. I’m open to reading the Quran, but I don't want to perform the prayers, which is why I left the religion. Christianity is somewhat similar to Islam, so I have no interest in it either; in short, I have no interest in any religion, yet I want to have my brain "washed" into believing in something so that I can feel good about myself.
I know I know this religion is strongly anti gay but when you hear these awful comments form people you personally know it hits differently.
A good friend of mine told me about a Facebook page for raising awareness about sexual assaults on women and children and they post anonymous stories.
There was a post from months ago, someone saying " while we are in the topic of obscenity and immoral crimes, let's talk about the Homos. I accidentally saw messages on my brother's phone and I couldn't help myself to check his messages and OH MY DEAR LORD! His is doing it and telling his friends about it!! And he is not even ashamed!!, I almost fainted but I couldn't believe it"
And the comments were really really awful and cruel and offensive and my good friend was there saying they should be thrown in prison!!
I hate the religion soooo much i cant even find the words to describe how much i hate it ...
So a 24-year-old Sri Lankan man, Sivarasa Anojan, has been sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia over a social media post that was considered insulting to Islam/the Prophet Muhammad.
It is insane that he was apparently initially given 5 years in prison and a huge fine, and then after the prosecution appealed, the sentence was increased to death.
Sri Lanka is now trying to appeal the sentence and get clemency for him. Like imagine posting something that offends a religion and the punishment being execution.
You can believe whatever you want, but religious beliefs shouldn’t be protected by literally killing people who criticize or insult them.
I genuinely think most muslims, and in her case she specifies muslim men, are atheists, but use their religion as an identity and a safecard that lets other muslims know that they are in the same team.
At least, that’s what i used to do
please be careful, even the anonymity of reddit is not anonymous enough.
don’t respond to DMs and don’t give any identifying information about yourself.
it’s not safe
People often debate this, what do you Guys Think?
I'm pretty sure Muslim countries aren't much better in prosecuting rapists.
