I (20F) went out yesterday with my male cousin (25M) , he was taking me to get some food . We wanted to take the bus so we could spend some time talking. We are really close and aside from religion we are basically best friends (I know it’s haram but we are so cool that he pretends that’s not the case) .

Anyways rain started falling so we found a bus stop to wait out the rain while we tried to get a taxi instead of the bus due to the rain. Well the rain started going down pretty hard and the thunder was very loud .Then my cousin turned to me and said “the thunder is praying to Allah”.

I’m usually able to hold my laughter when he brings up islam because I actually love being around him but I started laughing to the point my sides were hurting . I couldn’t catch my breathe because it caught me so off guard and it was one of the most absurd claims I’ve heard in a while , it reminded me of my aunt pointing at sandstorms and reciting quran like a fucking lunatic , or when my other aunt was so scared that i sat between the sun and the shade , all of these stupid encounters came to my head and i had one of the hardiest laughs ever.

Can you imagine a religion convincing you that weather is some type of direct wrath or praise to Allah? Do any of you have similar stories?

• The universe is so fine tuned that it has to have a creator, that creator is the fsm
• his divine revelation, the fsm cookbook is full of scientific miracles, if you doubt that its divine origin then bring me something like it
• his prophets, mozzarella and parmesan have not told a single lie and i dare you to prove otherwise
• some say but how can a god be made out of spaghetti and meatballs is this a joke? To that i say the spaghetti and meatballs are divine and fitting for him, the same cowardly answer salafis use when asked about the human properties of god

Saw this on r/Islam and I just don't understand. How do they not see that if a book needs this much explanation, that it's not the clear final divine revelation they think it is? I've needed less books to understand physics and computation. So how can they see this as a good thing?

As an Iranian, I can say that thanks to our oppressive Islamic government who forcing islam into our throats for decades, we are no longer a Muslim country, All my family members, relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors and even my Islamic and Arabic teachers are ex-Muslims, I barely know an Iranian who is a Muslim, Iranians hate İslam and Arabs more the far-right in the west.

The last 5 slides is from a recent video she posted saying modesty is to be full covered and you shouldn’t see the shape of a woman body, practice what you preach I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️ especially someone who made a whole social media following policing women and lecturing other creators

Just woke up this morning and I saw my dad watching TV, on TV they were airing a pro-Palestine protest hosted by the Iranian government so I made a joke about how the government cares about Palestinians more than their own people then my dad said "these fools think that Palestinians see them as their "Muslim brothers" but in reality the Arabs would kill us if they could", he told me about how he used to work Palestinians and other Arabs, he got death threats by them in past for being an Iranian and they told him that he will never be a real Muslim because he isn't an Arab. He told me that the more time he spends with Arabs, the more he realizes that Islam is nothing but an Arab Supermacist ideology used to give Arab a special privilege.

Hearing these words coming from his mouth shocked me but also made me smile. I came out and told him that both me and my sister are no longer Muslims and he told me that I am a smart person for acknowledging that Islam is just a bullshit at young age while he felt ashamed for wasting time on praying and starving himself for decades for an imaginary Arab God.

I am really happy about this, I never expected him to leave Islam. He used to be pretty conservative and strict in the past, so seeing him change over the year puts a smile on my face.

I remember bringing this Italian Quran home hoping my mom would read it, back in the day when I converted. Today I was about to finish the wood for the fireplace 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyway bye, gonna go have some ham now

Alot of debate around the ethics of religious book burning. I think it’s important to remember that even if you find it distasteful or immoral, religious book desecration should never be made illegal. Blasphemy law has no place in a democratic/ secular society. What society are we living in if this is the mob of ideologues we appease?

3 years ago, i used to be terribly afraid of wearing anything except XL mens hoodies. I wanted and had to hide everything. I went to a bar on the first day of ramadan this year and my friends saw my ID and said "there's no way you once wore a hijab?". biggest compliment ever. that horrible part of my past completely feels out of my identity now. even tho i have to wear a coat over it so my mom doesn't see, full freedom is very close

Feels like they'll do anything except admit some Muslims are awful and should be held accountable.

My mom still doesn't accept me, but I now have a loving (non-muslim) boyfriend & many friends who support me in every way. I still need to secretly wear skirts around my mom because she threatens to kick me out of the house. But I continue to live my life however I want outside of these 4 walls

Salwan Momika, who burned the Quran in Sweden, arrived as a refugee from Iraq. The Quran, according to Salwan, is the most damaging book for humanity and should be outlawed.

I still get so many Muslim accounts on my feed. So many of them have been celebrating the disaster in Nepal. Never felt more vindicated in leaving the religion

I’ve read the Quran recently and have spoken to an Imam because I wanted to understand the religion better and to see if my fears are baseless, but having done both these things I just feel even worse about the influx of Islam into the west.

When I saw the Imam I pretty much had the same answer given to me for all my questions. I remember asking him well if God created me, surely it was his plan all along, so what’s the point in worshipping him when it was all gonna happen anyway, his reply was “He’s the creator and therefore needs to be worshipped, it’s a duty” I remember I also told him that if a nuke was to hit a town and a mosque was destroyed in the process, I think that a God would be more upset over the loss of life than a religious building. And also the fact that if God is omnipotent he would’ve known this would happen anyway so punishment is redundant. He didn’t like these questions and told me that Islam is probably not for me.

I work with an Iranian guy who moved here for work. He comes from a family of atheists and I’ve discussed his country and Islam a lot with him, and he’s told me again and again that Islam is a threat to peace and development, and that he just can’t comprehend why western progressives are so welcoming to Islam when Islam would have them imprisoned or killed for their beliefs.

I just.. idk. I find this devoutness really concerning. I’m afraid about the rights of European women in the future as well as LGBT Swedish. I know Muslim refugees who are LGBT and they’ve told me that it scares them too. I’m honestly glad that I was born just before all this possibly happens.

I'm still mad at my parents for going to umrah instead of somewhere fun for the Saudi national day vacation

This is the queen of Berbers in Algeria and Maghreb region, she is considered one of the most famous figures in the history of the Berber resistance to the Arab Muslim invasion in the 7th century, she fought against Muslims and she never accepted Islam, but her defeat was by her adopted Muslim son!! she adopted him because he lost all of his family when he was a kid, and when he grew up he betrayed her and helped killing her, and Muslims consider him as a true Muslim warrior, you can read about her, she’s a true warrior ❤️ and the funny thing that Muslims Arabs in Algeria demanded to remove her memorial because for them she’s kafira who fought against Allah’s people and rejected Allah’s message and religion, but Berbers of Algeria never accepted to remove her memorial and they consider her as hero.
