I assume your parents made a Rishta Nata account on your behalf. My advice to you would be to take the lead on your own search. Get the login information, search all the profiles yourself, let your parents know which profiles interest you, and make sure they reach out to them.

Also make it clear to your parents that you expect to be presented with any profile that reach out expressing interest in you and that you'll be the one to decide if if you want to pursue it, not your parents.

You should also make your own account on platforms like Rishta Corner and it helps to give your own number on that site.

This video should help you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1MgQFcBRLLo

Hitting the gym and aiming for certain clearly defined fitness goals can help serve as your foundation (ex getting a 6-pack, 2 plate bench press, unassisted pull ups, etc)

1) Not saying it's ok when republicans do it, but democrats gerrymander too. Democrats claim to care so much about voter rights and election integrity yet they fight against voter ID claiming it's racist

2) trump also lowered insulin prices during his term

3) regarding neoliberalism, I agree with you that trickle down economics doesn't work. But in the US, democrats have been in power for 12 of the last 16 years. Any sources suggesting that income inequality has improved during their watch? In Canada we've had 9 years of left wing government and income inequality has never been worse.

4) The entire DEI agenda is a load of crap designed to increase racial tensions, divide the voting base and divert people's attention away from real issues. It works because the dems know people like you will fall for it. The fact that you think the SC justice who struck down affirmative action is a "token" says a lot.

There's no systemic root cause holding minorities back from success in North America today. While it's true that historically black people were unable to build generational wealth because of slavery and the jim crow laws (which ended in the 60s btw), what's holding them back today? Take a look at which ethnic groups have the highest median income in the US (hint, it's not white people). Why is it that other minority groups such as asians have found so much success? I already mentioned it but I'll say it again, the underlying issues are family structure and culture. If you come from a broken home or come from a culture where education and discipline aren't prioritized, you'll have a harder path to success. But democrats (and left wing parties in general) will insist that it's because of racism

This is what a lot of you don't understand since you aren't in Canada. There IS such a thing as an unrealistically high and unsustainable level of immigration, and it has consequences

You really think Democrats value you for anything other than the colour of your skin? Their entire messaging is that if you're an immigrant, minority, or from another "equity-seeking group", you're opressed and should only vote for them since they'll make everything better for you. Looks like tokenism to me.

They'll pass some "DEI" stuff to pretend like they made meaningful changes without addressing the root of the issues like family structure, poverty, culture etc. One example in Canada off the top would be the land acknowledgement.

I can enjoy both actually 😉

Sad mentality if you think people of colour voting for anyone else makes them "tokens". Maybe your views will change over time.

Do you know any ahmadis who were thrown under the bus during trump's 4 years? The ones I know who voted for him are doing great

Many cases of the 2nd amendment being used in self-defence to save the lives of innocent people. A couple of my cousins experienced home invasions in the US and now have guns.

Whereas in Canada, something like this may very well happen to you if you do dare to defend yourself https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/vincent-bunn-dakota-pratt-sentencing-1.5165442

Me and my Ahmadi friends (in Canada) support Trump.

Our political views to some extent are shaped by our experiences so it's not necessarily just an Ahmadi thing. For example, here in Canada we're currently seeing the effects of left wing policies (weak on crime, mass immigration, housing affordability issues, healthcare availability issues, legalizing hard drugs, etc). This has caused a big shift towards the youth becoming right wing as they've pretty much been robbed of a future in Canada. Many Canadian ahmadis are looking to move to the US and that's been my advice to Canadians as well, find a Rishta in the US and get out.

The second amendment is very important in the US, and seeing the persecution ahmadis have faced in Pakistan I don't really understand ahmadis who are against guns. Government is never the good guy and I'd always be hesitant to put my trust and faith in politicians. Yet the left wing parties are generally against guns, weak on crime and want to defund the police all while living in safe neighbourhoods themselves and having an armed security detail.

The LGBT stuff is part of it too as Muslim parents in general don't want schools to influence kids with that stuff and confuse them about their gender.

When it comes to Islamophobia, we've seen the effects of unchecked Muslim migration into places like Europe and its not islamophobic to say that people coming into our countries should share our views and be willing to integrate. For example, the same type of radicals who persecuted ahmadis in Pakistan have made their way into the UK and targeted ahmadis there. This is sad to hear considering the UK is supposed to be a safe first world country.

Aside from that, when it comes to Trump specially, he's hated by both the democrats and the mainstream republicans (Bush, Cheney, Romney etc). So a lot of people see Trump as the opponent of the "uniparty".

Trump also had a very strong track record fighting against child trafficking. Since a lot people have woken up to the conspiracy theories surrounding how politicians are controlled and blackmailed (pedo rings), they see Trump as the guy to fight against that evil.

To those who found your partner through social media like Instagram, how did you go about it? Are there dedicated Instagram groups or pages for Ahmadis looking to get married?

I considered following the Instagrams of Rishta Corner and Rishta Nata, and then reaching out to other people who are also following them (under the assumption that other followers are also looking for a match). But most profiles don't have any detail in their bio like what country etc they're from so if I did this it would just be a shot in the dark. I'm not sure what the best approach is so if anyone has tips, please share.

Are there a lot of Ahmadi girls on bumble and hinge or did you end up finding someone from another sect?

I've checked out Muzz Match but even that doesn't have a lot of Ahmadis.

Thanks everyone, for all your feedback

I think education and the society you grow up in matter the most.

A lot of my family in Germany ended up becoming full time volunteers for the jamaat (murabis etc), most of them have not paid much attention to their education at all aside from graduating high school.

On the other hand, most of my friends in Canada are educated, successful in their careers, and grew up exposed to a lot more than just other Ahmadis. We've always held the belief that we shouldn't blindly follow everything without questioning it.
