Thread on criminology
Islamic values and the implementation of Sharia results in lower crime rates.

Due to achieving a synnomic state of culture (where everyone uncompromisingly shares the same values) Saudi Arabia has general crime rates 100 times lower than that of America.

Converting to Islam provides prison inmates a moral framework which help reduce their aggression, decrease engagement in illegal activities, and lower reoffending rates.

And provides them a network to help improve their lives and get a job after release.

Thread on Islam
Muslim women who dressed more modestly were more secure about their body image, and less likely to be pressured by Western media beauty standards.

Whereas Muslim women who did not wear hijabs and wore western clothing were more insecure about their body.

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Compared to non-Muslim Western women who wore Western clothing, Muslim women who wear conservative Islamic clothing (i.e hijabs/abayas) had higher self-esteem, better body image, healthier body weight, felt less sexually objectified & more respected.

Thread on pornography and sexual media
Watching pornography is associated with higher rates of erectile dysfunction.

A possible explanation is that watching porn results in psychological tolerance where you get desensitized and more and more porn is required over time for the same feeling.

academic.oup.com/milmed/advance…
90% of pornography contained physical violent acts against women, while 50% contained verbal abuse against women.

According to social cognitive theory, viewers who watch such media will be more likely to abuse women.

Thread on human sexuality
Watching porn results in people having less sex. It also causes men to judge their parents more be critical of their bodies and have unrealistic exceptions of them. Women are pressured to mimic acts seen in porn and forced to get plastic surgery

Thread on religion and atheism
Atheism and agnostic beliefs result in suicidal thoughts. Atheist doctors and non-religious hospitals also were more likely to recommend suicide to their patients.
link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Atheists have the highest rate of suicide in the world, followed by Buddhists(reincarnation?), Christians and Hindus. Muslims have the lowest rates due to being more religious. For Christians it's probably high because they're only culturally religious
