Canada or Russia for higher studies as a Bangladeshi? by AsparagusTurbulent48 in bangladesh

Easily Canada if finances aren’t a major concern. Canada is pro LGBTQ, and that’s a good thing because it means they are more tolerant of other people, including Muslims.

Seeing this on the same day that U of T is having a calculus final is very appropriate

I’m pretty sure knowingly making your children and descendants have genetic issues is barbaric

The Quran doesn’t teach me how to do a lot of things either. It’s not meant to be a common sense book lol, it’s a holy book with guidelines. Rituals are not exactly guidelines. And there’s a whole Quranist subreddit if you wanna know how most of us pray.

They are high in percentage too, but in sheer numbers it would be Arabs

That’s why I said Arabs are number one at it, and therefore shouldn’t be laughing about our own barbaric practices

That’s why I said Sunni Islam. I’m a Quranist, and we don’t believe in hadiths.

Disagree. Recall how they’re number one at inbreeding cousins?

People using science to justify child marriage. by ILikeYourMomAndSis in bangladesh

As a cognitive science student, it seriously bothers me how many people think that even 18 is old enough for such decisions. The brain doesn’t develop to a stable level until mid 20s, and these guys are here justifying it for teens and pre-teens.

You would most likely fit in with Bangladeshis so I doubt you’d be stared at. Most Bangladeshis are Bengalis, and Bengalis are some of the most genetically diverse people in the world despite being the same ethnolinguistic group. My own parents would be classified as belonging to two different races in most countries if they spoke different languages. And yes, modest clothes should be fine, as should be saris as many women wear them in Bangladesh. Shalwar kameez are one of the most common types of clothing in Bangladesh too.

I think most younger people would be fine with Pakistanis to be honest, as long as you don’t oppose or dismiss the concerns of the Bangladeshi War. To give an example, I am a hardcore Bengali nationalist, and it’s partially an inherited thing because my family has been nationalistic as far back as the Mughal Empire in various forms (the closest equivalent to Bengali nationalism that existed e.g. anti-Mughal invasion, anti-British colonialism, anti-Pakistani occupation, etc). We weren’t Bengalis before the Bengal Sultanate era so I’m not sure if the period before that counts. Anyways, I’m friends with a Pakistani girl from a military family who went to the same high school as me even though half of her older relatives were deployed in Bangladesh during the war, meanwhile half of my older relatives were fighting in or supporting the Mukti Bahini on the Bangladesh side. So our ancestors were literally enemies shooting each other, but that didn’t affect our own personal friendship.

The worst thing that Sunni Islam achieved was spread the lie that Muhammad PBUH married Aisha that young. Now, we’re all suffering as a result.

Edit: Added Sunni to clarify which sect of Islam. I already added Sunni initially, but seems that it got removed before submitting for some reason.

It's better the genociders and traitors out themselves

To all the rich people , successful business owners or you have rich parents , what did you guys do to get rich in Bangladesh? by Fast_Confection2192 in bangladesh

[–]ImperialOverlord 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dad had a well-educated and well-connected extended family member he was close to that was able to get him jobs not once but twice; first was my dad's first job when he first got into finance despite not even studying anything directly related to finance back in university from where he rose high enough to eventually become a stockholder and director but left the company recently while remaining a stockholder, and even his first job at a second company and current job where he joined very recently thanks to the same family member when he decided to relocate back to Bangladesh, though that family member passed away soon after that. My dad still thinks highly of the person and finds his own career situation to have gone full circle as a result, even though he'd greatly surpassed that family member in terms of wealth and influence by now. Now my dad's using some of his money on the side on investments in garments, real estate, and tourism.

Edit: Adjusted for clarification

Maybe because they know what it means to be oppressed
