This is worth watching. Though I have a major criticism. There’s no such thing as Saudi Islam. It’s true that Mosques and schools funded by Saudi are more fundamentalist, but that’s because the books and scholars from SA are more direct and literal Islam.

I’m definitely no fan of Saudi, but this documentary was totally unfair. They’re painting Saudis as these villains trying to spread some ideology w nefarious intent. No. They are simply funding the spread of Islam. Everything they were teaching is clearly taken from the religion.
As I outline in my book, our Mosque and Islamic school was run by an Imam from India. Things changed significantly when we got funding from Saudi. The Indian Imam was replaced w an Egyptian Imam w a wife in niqab. But it was not ‘Saudi’ ideology. It was just a more literal Islam.
Our Imam before was a very sweet man, but he didn’t know his religion. I preferred him as Imam of course, I think we all did. But there’s no doubt that he was not educated in Islam. He avoided reciting in Arabic. He taught general life lessons- nothing from Quran or Hadith.
It’s hard to explain it all in tweets but essentially, this doc makes Saudi out to be a bad guy here when all they did was offer up the religion. Don’t be mad at Saudi scholars for saying it, they’re just repeating the literal words of Allah.

FACT

Islam teaches:
-gay ppl should be killed
-ppl who leave Islam should be killed
-Muslims shouldn’t befriend nonMuslims
-Muslims should strive to spread Islam across the globe
-women are less intelligent than men

Also fact:
-many Muslims choose to ignore some of those edicts
When a Muslim tells you they’ve chosen to ignore one and you respond w Taqiyya! Liar! That’s not helpful. What would be helpful is to encourage and support them in their aim to reconcile their religious identity w living in 2020. It’s not perfect. But it’s still a positive step.
When Saudi Arabia denounces the terrorism in France (even though they are tyrants to their own ppl) I am happy about that. It’s a step. It’s a better step than the one chosen by Iran, Turkey, or Pakistan. I know there are still many steps to go.

It’s funny how the latest lie by the unhinged Twitter mob of Muslims is to say I’m a pedophile who raped a child...

...um, no. That’s your prophet you’re thinking of.
They revere a child rapist, their religion sanctions rape of children-then they have the chutzpah to project their filth on others. Here’s why they do it: As a cult, they share a hive brain,a mob mentality,one that instructs them to execute ppl who leave Islam so we cant tell you

I cant express how painful it is to read this. He condemns girls being killed in Iran & the response is to call him racist & fire him within 10mins
Why are our lives so disposable to you that even expressing anger about us being killed is wrongthink? Do you not consider us human?
This is the ‘offensive’ article. Fuck every single one of you who thinks it’s racist to condemn the killings of these girls. Youre the racists who want to silence condemnation of this and empower their killers. All because the girls aren’t white. Fuck you.

This happened in my city. Where I was BORN. I am disgusted, appalled, angry and beyond everything I am just so sad. So sad that I’ve lived among you all these years and you never considered my life to have any value-that you think condemning the killings of my sisters is ‘wrong’
