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.
I choose to focus on the positive. It gives me hope. Ppl who choose to focus on the negative will be forever miserable. Best of luck to you and your mental health.
A lot of ppl are saying their issue is with Muslims who don’t admit they’re ignoring an edict-instead they say the edict doesn’t exist. I have that same issue. I agree that’s dishonest. The edicts do exist-of course. They’re either ignorant of it or they dont want to admit it.

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. dailymotion.com/video/x5m0n45
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.
French police have raided the homes of dozens of suspected Islamic radicals following the beheading of a teacher who showed controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to his pupils.
“...three men who allegedly killed a woman who turned down their unwanted sexual advances and resisting their verbal and physical harassment. According to local media reports, the three suspects ran the woman over before dragging her behind their car for three meters.”
“...one of the alleged perpetrators attempted to grab her, which led her clothes to get caught on the vehicle, at which point she fell underneath the car tires. The men then proceeded to drag her behind them for several meters, before driving off and leaving her body on the road”
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. iran-hrm.com/index.php/2020…
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’
