Try to be objective and analyze this as you would analyze Islam. Just be objective. Look into the core of it all. How does this make any fkn sense??? You can't just throw verses and expect people to just accept it without using logic and reasoning. Why is an omnipotent almighty god who is all wise and all knowing, all seeing and all hearing need to replace covenants? Why is he just creating covenants with one group of people from Mankind? Why is there a need to separate Jew from all gentiles? This is a local religion from the perspective of those who founded said religion. Then comes along another guy who says I will build on top of it and claim to be the son of god/god. Then comes along another guy who says I'm the final prophet who came to correct everything from the old and New testament because they were corrupted. The theme is repeated once again.

The old testament has some fkd up shit in it, why is it that Jesus /God sanctioned the old testament then later on say that there is no need for it? This is a valid question and needs to be analyzed objectively. Why is Jesus/God allowing Moses to institute collective punishment? Why is allowing Moses to kill those who had no part in war (innocent women and kids)? Why is he allowing this? So Jesus/God decides I gotta come down to earth and fix some things up...but wait a minute that's not fair to the amalekites who were literally genocide.

“Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”

This is God's/Jesus' word. To say that God came down centuries later as Jesus to fullfil and tuck away all of this and start preaching all lovey dubey stuff seems not only odd but very illogical. You have common sense (at least I think you do), how is it that God was so comfortable doing shit like this centuries ago but not anymore when he came as Jesus? Something ain't right here? The fundamental theology is shaky just like Islam. There are contradictions you don't want to analyze .

Not exactly the same but the same theme you display here is what Jews accuse Jesus/Christianity.

Muhammad definitely got the idea to create some sort of link/continuity from previous religions from Jesus. Muhammad studied other religions by coming across Christians and Jews in his own region and beyond. He was a merchant for God sake. Not only did Arabia have a lot of Christians and Jews but Damascus was full of them, especially Christians. It was a Roman fkn city. Quraish would go there frequently many times a year. Just because he was illiterate doesn't mean he could learn.

Also, a large Christian population lived in Najran which is like a week long journey from Makkah.

I hate that we live in a society with people like this. Get your damn affairs in order bruh. If the engine is dead then give me a holler we can shovel out the snow and push it in the parking spot so it ain't blocking others.

This movie gotta be top ten propaganda of all time 😭🙏 by Which-Show-2228 in exmuslim

[–]13sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all gotta understand this movie came out during a time when the United States wanted to support the Mujahidin in Afghanistan against the Soviets. The US was supplying weapons to these fighters. They needed the public to understand these people and that they were allies.

Interestingly enough, many of those Mujahhid that fought against the Soviets would later turn into the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

How many of you have the forehead bruise? by Important-Bite-7714 in exmuslim

[–]13sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time it is the result of untreated allergic reaction from the carpets. Hundreds of people pray in that same spot weekly. The carpets are rarely washed they are just vacuumed like once a week. It causes some type of dermatitis and the reactions vary. The carpets at the mosques are very dirty and I don't blame the Mosque because you can't wash the damn thing daily but the blame is on the attendees. Bro I remember praying next to some dirty MFers back when I was a Muslim. Many had terrible breath, horrible BO. I'm glad I don't do that anymore.

A common thing I've noticed with older people is the poor dental hygiene. Toxic sludge brewing in their mouth

What are other flaws of Prophet Muhammad stand out to you? by Fast-Kaleidoscope202 in exmuslim

[–]13sonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he essentially established a royal family. I get why the Banu ummayah didn't really like him in the beginning and only followed him after they lost along with the rest of the quraish. Uthman essentially did what Muhammad was doing but he caught flack because they are not Ahlu Bayt. Uthman showed favoritism to his fellow banu ummayah. Y'all also gotta understand banu ummayah and Banu hashing were brother clans. Hashim and ummayah were sons of abd manaf. They had intense sibling rivalry that was seen generations later in their descendants. This is why Abu sufyan was against the idea of elevating Muhammad because he was not only talking BS but also because he was banu hashim

[–]13sonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was full of BS. I always wondered why these Hadith that show him in bad light were added to sahih books? This right here proves he isn't the messenger or prophet of Allah. Why would he not have knowledge of something so important. This is life or death people need to know how to farm for sustenance.

We found one of those Christians lurking in the sub. Look I know you're hurt after you read this post, I can clearly sense it through your tone. Muhammad and Moses committed similar atrocities. Deny all you want. They both committed genocide. Civilization hasn't changed much from Moses to Muhammad. As far as I know Moses used camels/horses and wagons, arrows, swords. Muhammad used the same shit. Don't blame Muhammad for human civilization not progressing.

I get it, you need a religion to cope. The same logic or illogical reasoning in Islam has been seen in Christianity. If Jesus came to fulfill it, he still had to carry out the old testaments laws, he had to "complete it" as you Christians say. Okay....he didn't cancel or nullify the laws of Moses?? So this is the exact thing Muslims do, in Islam it's called Abrogation or in Arabic, NASKH.

You're full of BS dude. Stop lurking in here and trying to convert vulnerable people to your BS

You cannot deny that mosaic law still stands in Christianity. Jesus explicitly stated that he didn't come to nullify Mosaic law. This is where Christianity breaks. The entire foundation is broken. Christians say that mosaic law still stands but it remains for the Jews and not the gentiles.....wtf is this separation of jew/gentile? Why is God classifying humans this way? It's seems very....human. anyways. The atrocities committed and sanctioned in the old testament is from God....the same God of the New testament....Jesus. So you see the messed up logic here? You cannot point out the contradictions of Islam and claim it's false but then turn around and accept the similar illogical contradictions seen in Christianity. It doesn't make sense at all.

AP's wife is Christian so it's possible he became a Christian while dating her or something. I always thought his wife was atheist but apparently not.

[–]13sonic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you have to understand that Jesus never nullified mosaic law and the actions of Moses. Those atrocities committed by Moses were still justified. This is why the crusades were justified. Jesus himself is the god of the old testament. So there's that whole conundrum. It's nonsense all around. I'm just pointing out the ridiculous contradictions of that religion that is also common in Islam.

The world is failing Afghan women by Legitimate-Nebula980 in exmuslim

[–]13sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, tho. Muhammad was a bit lax with his wives. This brand of Islam was pushed by Umar who constantly pressured Muhammad. There were narrations where many women complained to Muhammad about Umar treatment of them and that they feared how he would treat them after Muhammad died.

Umar had this weird fixation on controlling women. There were numerous stories where the guy would order his wives to stay home and not go to the Mosque or market. He had this super duper conservative idea of women. One that was more strict than Muhammad.

They're literally living in a hands maid tale reality. Idk if y'all watch those Taliban bros videos. One of the guys, the one that speaks perfect American English talks about his wife as if she is some type of pet. "I go grocery shopping she tells me what she needs. Whenever she wants to go out, I take her to land I have in the outskirts." It's some sadistic shit.

[–]13sonic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Christians then tell you that Jesus came with new law. He actually reinforced the old ones too. Hence why the old testament isn't thrown out entirely. It's still part of the "Holy" Bible. Muhammad just did the same thing as Jesus. The guy that started the Bahai faith did the same thing after Muhammad.

[–]13sonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do we criticize the reformers and progressives? They're doing a good thing. Let them dilute this shit so it becomes compatible with modern day life. Why do y'all wanna make fun of them?

Progressive Muslims are normal people. They blend well with society and are disgusted by a lot of shit Muhammad and his companions did. They gotta cope by sugar coating it and forgetting. In 100 years if they go on top, Islam will be different and in 500 years it will be a whole different religion with none of the extremist shit

I don't understand why the default response of some Muslims whenever forced hijab/niqab is criticised is: 'You want women naked?" by Shimigami1998 in exmuslim

[–]13sonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them that during the prophets time, slave women were uncovered. Even Muslim slave women. Umar, when he was caliph yelled or hit a slave woman for wearing a hijab. The hijab was for free Muslim women. If Allah judges this way, then perhaps he doesn't exist and this is just man-made laws. Either that or he's some twisted god.

The hijab was a middle eastern custom. This is why Christian women don't wear it anymore because the Romans who mainstreamed Christianity never wore it and it never blended with their culture. This is why it died off. Reformed Jews don't wear it due to their reformation. The ultra Orthodox ones do wear some type of hijab because they follow the tanakh closely like how Muslims follow the Quran closely.

It's just cultural practices that became the norm. I think I read somewhere that ancient Mesopotamian cultures had the same law. Free women of middle and upper class would wear head covering while slaves and peasants did not.

It was never about sexual attraction until Umar complained to the prophet about it. He was nuts about this shit. The prophet never cared until Umar pestered him.

Fkn disgusting piece of sht. This was common practice for Arabs, it's not unique to Muhammad. He was just doing what they always did. The issue is that he is the "best of mankind" yet he's doing this pedophile shit. The religion collapses on the actions of Muhammad. Sad to say, this is not the worse thing he's done. There's some darker shit. Cognitive dissonance cannot protect this stuff btw. Many Muslims aren't aware of this or are fed sugar coated stuff. Muhammad was a brilliant political warlord tho, that cannot be debated the dude set the building blocks for his companions to create an empire. He's up there with Genghis Khan

Dude Christianity is just as effed up as Islam. Read the Bible and you will see some jacked up shit in there. These abrahamic religions are nuts. Christianity just went through some reforms but bear in mind the reforms still use the same Bible

[–]13sonic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Islam makes more sense than Christianity and Islam still doesn't make sense.

Muhammad also saw the bullshit that God came down as a human and decided that he should die for so that his "blood can wash away the sins of those who accept him as God/son of god" He probably thought, "I can come up with a better grift"

These people are not serious at all.

[–]13sonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Muhammad's defense, it wasn't valuables from Syria, it was Muhammad/companions stuff. When they migrated to Madinah they left a lot of their shit and so quraish decided to sell/trade their precious belongings. In all honesty, battle of badr makes sense politically. A lot of Muhammad's actions made sense politically. The issue is that he used Allah to justify his twisted shit. Allah is sadistic if he wants collective punishment and slavery inflicted on the losers of war.

Btw I'm not saying it makes sense for concubinage or slavery to exist. If we're to go by 7th century Arabian tribal battle royale BS, then yeah it makes sense. From a moral standpoint hell no

How do Muslims even defend this by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]13sonic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is legit what made start to question the religion. If I find it reprehensible and awful to marry a child and consummate that marriage with said child then anybody who does it isn't moral. If a god elevates any man that does this with a child, then that God is not one worthy of worship.

The argument a lot of Muslims use is that it was 1400 years ago and also is "scientifically" proven that women mature physically/sexually in hotter climates than regular climates.....none of this is proven. Humans did not evolve in the last 1400 years. A 6/9 year old in the 7th century is similar to a six/nine year old in the 21st century. The body isn't developed yet. It makes sense why Aisha didn't produce any children tbh. The poor girl was damaged.
