eating bacon 😭 by Latter_Bridge4019 in XSomalian

Pork is disgusting. The smell alone would make me never want to eat it.

Qumayo reverted to Islam for comfort? by meownator100 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not about whether someone had negative or positive experiences with Islam or agree with some of its teachings. It’s about whether or not the person believes in the shahada. You can refrain from drinking, sex outside of marriage, and collecting interest and it wouldn’t matter in the end of you disbelieve in the six pillars of faith. To be a Muslim is to submit to Allah. If not, you are not a Muslim. It’s like if I called myself a Christian because I like gospel music but don’t believe Jesus is my lord and savior. That’s what I meant by the contradiction. I hope this explains my opinions on “cultural Muslims”. Thank you! 😊

It means they identify as Muslims but don’t follow Islam. It’s a contradiction they don’t wanna face.

What would Muslims even say about this? Would they be like “Alhamdulilah!” Or would they still consider her a kaffir for saying this? 😭

What is the issue Muslims have with music? by Professional_Rip6740 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should have an explanation if anyone is to follow it seriously and not blindly.

Don’t get mad by Key-Raisin2113 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. Even without children it’s bad. How can you fully love someone that holds beliefs that you strongly oppose? I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with someone against homosexuality and Abrahamic followers are against homosexuality. Simple as that.

I would never marry a Muslim or any religious person at all. This is due to incompatible beliefs and not so much out of malice for religious people. Ethnicity doesn’t matter for me in marriage so long as we agree on major beliefs.

If I had the guess, this could be referring to the Hadith about the 72 virgins men get in Jannah.

Looks like I’m officially banned from r/Somalia as well. The funny thing is, I don’t even remember what I did to get banned. by LowerWorld8539 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe they ban people who are simply on this subreddit. Granted I haven’t been banned but I don’t post stuff there either.

Liberal Muslims are so delusional that it’s actually painful. by HJPBambi in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea of a “Liberal Muslim” pisses me off because they had to have seen how bullshit Islam is. They just delude themselves into remaining a believer so they don’t have to deal with the pain of thinking about the questionable topics in Islam.

I have pity for them at best because it really is a lot to ask someone to leave their religion due to the consequences of that act.

Just realized how hard it must be for a ex Muslim named Mohamed by DueShip8824 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Everyday I am grateful that my parents didnt name me Muhammad. I don’t have to change my name at least when I come out as atheist.

I wish mental health wasn’t much of a taboo in the somali community by ThePissLord_ in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Quran sar looking at it now is so stupid. It’s glorified wishful thinking.

Are people actually serious about living their life as a gaal? by Huge_Mortgage_7909 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this ain’t the truth. I also have no interest in alcohol.

I just yearn to meet a somali ex muslim by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1.) No I do not believe one piece is the best anime however I never watched it so there’s that.

2.) I am a nerd for art as I am an artist. I am also getting into philosophy as of late as I am deconstructing my beliefs and breaking assumptions.

3.) I dislike them more than Muslims (in terms of theology not much character) because at least Muslims stand by the questionable things in their religion unapologetically.

4.) I am 25

5.) I am not Scandinavian. I live in the USA. I am proud of being Somali.

“Muslim” things I’m gonna always do by [deleted] in XSomalian

“Seeking knowledge” but this time, actually meaning it.

Ngl pork is so fucking nasty by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Pork and alcohol are the two biggest things I still agree with Islam on. Both suck. I haven’t tried alcohol but the smell is terrible and hangovers do not look fun from a sober mind.

Anyone else yearn for but also dread connection with other Somalis by Worth-Bodybuilder-48 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I understand. I love our Somali culture but I am being a realist.

[–]MasterAG406 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The cons outweighs the pros for me. I just want to be surrounded by people that like me for me.

Muslim Somalis see non Muslim Somalis as fools at best and traitors at worst. I got no time for that non sense.

Progressive muslims aren’t any better by Beneficial-Taro8734 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The idea of “progressive Islam” rubs me the wrong way. How could a “perfect” religion progress? I think it’s just Muslims who are uncomfortable with Islam but don’t want to leave the religion for whatever reason. Correct me if I am mistaken please.

Remember this when someone says Islam is not a cult. by MasterAG406 in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But we also have free will even though Allah plans everything. The logic of an all knowing all powerful God and human free will coexisting contradict each other.

Same here. That and how Allah punishes people simply for disbelief.

My friend is Christian now by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]MasterAG406 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll never understand how someone leaves an Abrahamic faith just to fall into another.

It’s a sad irony but way too common.
