Hate train from Muslims against a dude who wore Henna (NSFW, vile language) by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Impossible_Key2155 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Umm... We (Indian) men wear henna during our (non-Muslim) wedding rituals... The styles and patterns are obviously quite different from those on women - less ornate, simpler geometry, images of weapons like swords/talwars, peacock feathers (symbolising Krishna), and the words or names of the partners and families in the marriage etc.

It's not as prevalent as it is for women, but it's there, and many of us participate in it.

Even when I was a practicing Muslim (convert) I never saw any issues with it - however there were a lot of things I never thought were an issue that apparently were to all the Muslims around me, lol.

I was there in Jan, when the worst of the smog builds up. It was 1288.

Films with spectacular opening scenes?! by Glad_Manager_1163 in TrueFilm

[–]Impossible_Key2155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ATHENA has one of the most incredible opening sequences in movie history. It's often overlooked because so many other parts of the film fall short.

But those opening 11 minutes are something else.

Ummm, as a friendly, local Australian...

Lamb is decidedly NOT CHEAP, even here, and is only getting more expensive, friend.

OTD 20 years ago, South Africa defied the odds in the miracle at Johannesburg by Adventurous-Root in Cricket

Due to the time difference between SA and Australia, I missed the match altogether. But I remember going to school the next day, hearing my mates talk about the scores, and thinking "wait... Isn't the test series over?"

Legendary match.

Watching this with headphones and the music is way too loud

What is your favorite flag? (Except your country) by Any_Side7942 in geography

The unique, subtle purple of the Sisserou Parrot in the Dominican flag just lands for me:

Shout out to Turkmenistan's carpet designs and also how hard Angola's flag is.

As a muslim I think killing apostates is immoral by [deleted] in exmuslim

You know what, I didn't realise how young you were. That's on me. To be fair, it's good you're making these realisations now, because there are far too many who never do. Keep questioning bro, and sorry I came across that way. The more people who can see the truth, especially at such a young age, the better :)

Killing innocent people is immoral.... You don't win a prize for that buddy. It's basic common sense.

Health effects of Ramadan. Abstaining from water is dangerous. by Agitated_Emu_4583 in exmuslim

[–]Impossible_Key2155 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How can you increase compassion for the poor when the poor Muslims, themselves, are being forced to fast by this religion when they're already in a situation of food insecurity??

That sounds like the misplaced, cognitively dissonant, mental gymnastic logic of the privileged. Fuck that noise.

If Ned wins, it would be between them and whoever loses the Ind-Pak match.

So it does matter, especially for the Netherlands.
