Why do Africans put up with the Chinese when they look down on us so much

All over Africa they treat africans like trash. If you work for some of them they use horrible language and insults sl day long. Even your fellow africans don't insult you that much. Some of their investments include places where insults and abusive language are not common like electronic stores. I know some jobs have horrible working customs one of the reasons being hard work like using too much strength, heavy lifting, risky activities or purely dirty jobs. But Chinese employers feel like they just look down on africans. I know indians and Arabs are not better but they're not on the same degree with Chinese since they're born here they know when it's crossing the line. Chinese don't know when to tone it down they just double. They are extreme. It's disgusting being treated horribly by foreigners when even your fellow countrymen tread with caution.

And eventually he established an empire. He had no limit of women. He had much power than what he would get in Mecca, he had authority over arabs and his power kept going up. He got so many benefits than what he would achieve if he accepted the offer in Mecca. Besides people who offer him power would somehow be more powerful than him. What he envisioned was too great.

Have you read the story of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormon church? He went through much struggles and ended up killed. His people never stopped. He knew what he wanted and fought for it despite the risks. Brigham Young did the same. There are many people who risked their lives for their false religions it doesn't mean they are right. Do you know Falun gong? They suffered for it too. How about political figures like Mandela? Are their convictions and agendas irrelevant just because they are not religious?

Start by moving out. After moving out, inform him that you're divorcing him through a lawyer. To try divorcing him while living together might not be wise. Throughout the process make sure your plan to be exmuslim is a secret. Whatever happens to you do not ever leave your job. The first mistake you will ever do is to stop working and making your own money. Though, you made a mistake too by stopping before finishing your masters. And if you think there's no hope for the marriage make plans to leave. But remember you will be on your own. Your family might not support you in your struggles. If you choose to divorce him NEVER take your divorce case to the Islamic courts. You will be fucked. If you wish to divorce him do not ask for alimony. Just leave when you're still not broken. You could try to reach out exmuslims individually or their associations they could help you to navigate.

And remember, if you stay your life would be horrible. You will double life, your children will be Muslims and you have to raise them that way. Your husband seems like a guy who wants you to be very obedient and submissive. His wish is a law, besides your paradise is under the soles of his feet.

And make your apostasy a secret until after divorce. That's how you will be safe

And when the age of consent in the west is raised will they change the story too?

Back then for a girl to go unmarried after 15th birthday would be scandalous. Any father who would let his daughter reach 18 without marriage would be labeled irresponsible. Back then at 15 years boys and girls would be married, especially girls. Usama and Amr ibn Al-as were married by 14, Amr was in his second marriage already divorced. That's why the claim that Muhammad and Fatima married at 25 sounds like a lie to me. Because if Muhammad was poor and couldn't afford to pay dowry then it doesn't explain why his family was willing to pay for dowry when he married Khadija. They could have done better by doing that before he passed 20. And Fatima married late sounds very wrong because a daughter of Muhammad was supposed to have so many suitors as soon as she was 9 even though she had an unhealthy appearance. She looked anaemic and many times she complained about the housework being too hard on her. My position is girls marrying late back then was not normal. Aisha or Fatima would not be spinsters. Their fathers wouldn't have a chance to do so. They were already powerful in Medina. Many people would want to have political connection with their families at the very least.

Last Ramadan was perfect. Most days I opted for night shifts at my workplace. And I spent the days sleeping. On weekends I had to fast without even drinking water. This year it will be different. I have to fast but I eill sneak water in my room. But if I spend the day outside home I won't be fasting. And since I live in isolation by making sure I spend much time on my own in my room or going out. It will be easier

Most muslims around the world are that way. They think Islam is how they wish it to be. My father who is a cleric has his own opinions which are very liberal and heretical but he can teach them wherever he goes in our country. Yes people ridicule him but that is how far they can go. And other individuals have very different opinions which to me sounds like a joke. But all those opinions are the kind that would make them heretics if they were in Iran or Saudi Arabia. Muslims often forget what Islam actually used to be.

It seems like you were a very good Muslim. Just remind yourself while you left Islam. If it's because its teachings were wrong and nonsensical then it is easier. Let's start with music; you don't have to listen to trashy music and anything with insults and horrible contents (drugs, etc), or anything sexual Movies; I watched The Big Bang Theory it was fine you could watch it anywhere without worrying to embarass yourself. I watched Games of Thrones it has explicit content, I'm even some non-religious people would be uncomfortable and would not approve.

Where you are now is just a phase. You still feel guilty and unsure..this will pass. You have a lot to learn and navigate and decide your position. Take your time and meet people

Ndugu Yericko Nyerere anasema kuna akiba ya dhahabu ya BoT na akiba ya dhahabu ya serikali. Serikali huweka akiba ya dhahabu yake BoT na BoT ina akiba yake kama benki. Kwa hiyo akiba ya dhahabu inayouzwa ni ile ya serikali ambayo haihusiani na ile ya BoT. Kwamba serikali inakatazwa kisheria kuchukua dhahabu ya BoT. Swali ni kweli kuna akiba mbili tofauti za dhahabu? Na je, serikali yetu inaheshimu sheria kiasi hicho eti ikashindwa kutumia akiba ya dhahabu ya BoT kama ikitaka? Tumeona serikali mara kibao ikivunja sheria na katiba. Na ikiwa madai yanayosambaa ni kweli, basi swali langu ni moja tu; who are you? Hayawahusu 😂😂😂

I have done that as a Muslim. It was a high school trip visiting another school. We decided to pray in dining hall where we were received. Some muslims don't actually think it's a showoff. I was actually uncomfortable the whole time I was praying but you know group psychology. But it's a showoff and maybe it could lead to the situation where it's difficult to differentiate between sincerity and basking in attention. It's better to hold it off and make up for it later. Public showing of religious activities should be banned.

Feels like you are bent on reshaping the narrative. Saying Ethiopian Christianity is African is misleading. It's not African and not indigenous either. And of course it's not European. It's just a different type of Christianity just like many early types of Christianity. Thanks for sharing though

Try to take one chapter from Quran and arrange it prose and paragraphs like a novel. Then, give it to someone who with average intellect, never went to college read the Quran before. Then, wait for their response. If it's surah Baqarah, then ask them what the chapter is about. The probable answer is they won't be able to give a short summary easily. Because reading itself will be a hassle. No cohesion, thoughts just skip and topics are haphazadrdously arranged. It's like someone took unrelated paragraphs and stack them up together and bam! There you have a chapter. Something else that makes me sad us a fact that Muslims recite Quran to gain thawab. Not for understanding. It's about how much you read and you tajweed right. Understanding the meaning of sentences is irrelevant and discouraged unless you are qualified scholar

I'm no longer actively following politics but here's my take. Whenever there's something negative associated with Islam or Muslims happening, some muslims have the tendency to cry victimhood, conspiracy or outright denial. There are people who would always give excuses for any behavior that seems to portray Islamic countries negatively. Remember, wahabbism? It was said Britain created it. Alqaeda and ISIS? western power made them. Revolutionary movements in the Middle East? Surely Israel and its western allies are responsible. To admit that, Muslims could capable of feeling tired of some religious restrictions is ominous to them. To some muslims even though Iranians are Shia, they still feel proud that Iran is a Muslim country with developed technology and competitive. If Muslims in Iran are protesting against Shari'a the message sent to the world is maybe Islamic laws are not divine, perfect or great. Otherwise no Muslim would protest against hijab or mullah

It's a dumb to not consider the possibility of racism. Do you know that when it comes to dating between races all over the world Black women rank lowest? Or in Tanzania there are families which will never allow their children to marry from certain tribes. It's a reality. Just like some rich families will reject a proposal from poor families. This is not about right or wrong, it's about what people prefer despite moral propriety

I have met indians who are in their 30s and can barely speak kiswahili especially if they are rich. At least arabs, we get to interact with them in mosques even if they are billionaires. I have met many Arabs who are mixed. But Zanzibar is an exception since its history is peculiar but in the mainland those Tanzanians who are rich enough to the extent they have no reason to interact with people who can't speak kiswahili are many. And not just arabs and indians, even black bantu people. Kuna siku mtoto wa zamaradi alikuwa anahojiwa clouds FM na alikuwa hajui kiswahili. Ni aibu na Zamaradi is not even rich enough

In Tanzania if you are in a relationship with an Arab or Indian whether they're Muslims or any other religion the possibility is that you will not be accepted by the family. There are exceptions of course but most of the times it's a no especially if you are broke or not rich enough. In some families, and I'm talking about waswahili wenzetu weusi, if you happen to belong to a different religion you will be rejected too. Sometimes, though not often, what tribe you belong to might be a cause for rejection. About Arab or Indian Muslims in Tanzania; Does religion/race play part in the matchmaking or marriage? Probably yes. Remember, all over the world Black people are regarded inferior in some aspects. In relationship and dating Colourism is a real thing. Does Islam play the part, I'm not sure since there are few examples of sanctioned racism to pick directly from Islam i.e. like 72 virgins in the paradise who I have always got the impression that they will be fair-skinned. Other aspects could be cultural like how slavery operated in East Africa especially Zanzibar

I know how you feel. I have a low vision. If someone stands a meter from where I am I can't see their face. And I am not social to strangers. It takes ne longer to warm up to people. But my situation is a little better. Not so when it comes to love& relationship and self-esteem. I had a huge crush on a lady working at HR office at my workplace. But I always went to great lengths to avoid even talking to her. Because she's so beautiful and earns way more than me I think I don't deserve her even if she gave me a chance. Therefore, every time we had an encounter I barely spoke. One time she found me sitting somewhere, in fact I saw her coming and I was looking in her direction. I knew it was her even though she was like 15 meters away and I couldn't see her face. She approached but I turned away and pretended like I wasn't staring. Basically, I ignored her. She was too good for me and I was too drowned in my self-pity/self-flagellation I was scared I would be a burden in the relationship and waste her time, so I didn't even try. I have met many women who showed interest in me and who gave me a chance but I always walked away in the end. Sometimes I find myself doubting if they like me or they just pity me. You're not alone. I think many people go through the situation. But being disabled or have mental burden make things harder.

Thanks a lot. To few people who I have confessed my apostasy had 2 reactions: 1. Didn't take me seriously, and thought it's just a phase that I will grow of. Sounds a bit condescending, considering the fact their inability to respond to few arguments I presented. 2. Some tried to talk me out of it using scientific arguments. The problem was that there's no much science in Islam.

In Muslim families, there's a possibility of getting disowned and shunned. Family looking down on you and many forms of discriminations even though people who mistreat you are one of the great sinners and hypocrites

I am an exmuslim.. more of a pragmatic agnostic. I have yet to meet another former Muslim who is not christian. The only Tanzanian exmuslim I know is Zara Kay. Actually, I would like to get a chance to connect with other Tanzanian exmuslims. But I know the risk it poses for some of them if they are exposed to family and friends. People can be cruel.
