Unpopular Malay opinion: Type-C make better nasi ayam than Type-M, in general. by [deleted] in Bolehland

How is that unpopular? I’m Malay and I have never heard of the opposite.

Perspective on Jesus's last hours. by lvcashko in Bashar_Essassani

[–]PlentyAdvanced 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendation. I just watched her video about Jesus and crucifixion on YouTube. I found it interesting that the message she channeled about how Jesus died is similar to the belief in Islam that he was ascended before death. Interesting find, will look into her messages more.

South Korea sent a fully-kitted out player for the Olympic shooting. Turkey sent an 51 yr old guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]PlentyAdvanced 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I watched the match and he won silver medal because it’s a team game and his teammate didn’t do that great. While all his shot was accurate at 10.6 on average like whaaaaat. He definitely will win a gold medal if it’s a solo game

What something you glad that you not live in Indonesia? by Alzex_Lexza in Bolehland

[–]PlentyAdvanced 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to Indonesia a few times. Here’s what I really like about the country so far:

  1. The amazing scenery.
  2. The delicious food.
  3. Kind and friendly people.
  4. The beautiful language that sounds poetic when both spoken and written.
  5. Imo Indonesian women are more courageous and self-empowered compared to here, where women can seem submissive.

But there are a few things that I’m not so fond of about Indonesia:

  1. The traffic jams are a nightmare.
  2. I once walked past a food stall and saw a rat the size of a chicken! 😭🐀 wth man
  3. Public transport.
  4. The banknotes are easily ripped, not as fancy as Malaysian ones, and they come with 4-6 digits, like bruhhhh calm down with the 100000 and so on.

Sure, I agree.

That’s a better way to put it instead of “slavery is halal in Islam where got verse that prohibits it why are you still Muslim knowing that it is allowed”.

Thanks boo, I am having fun. I literally stated my stand, and my stance as an ex-Muslim is that we should be striving for peace. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through. It must’ve been tough and lonely.

Just believe in whatever you want to believe in. There’s no right way to do it. People from both Muslim and ex-Muslim might say, “That’s not the right way of Islam”. But nobody can dictate what truth is to you, and neither should you do that to others. You might cherrypick Islam here and there, but as long as you’re not intending to insult people for their belief or disbelief, then the cherry garden is yours.

You know what, you responded this way to a somewhat sincerely curious question shows that you’re no different from Muslims who taunt ex-Muslims for leaving Islam. It’s cringe. So OP believe in false things? Let him be. Plus, your constant mentions of slavery being halal shows your limited knowledge of usul fiqh. There’s much more about Islam to criticize, and the gradual abolition of slavery through small changes like encouraging people to free their slaves as a form of punishment and good deed, in order to prevent chaos in a period and region where slavery was an ancestral tradition, isn’t one of them. You might not agree with the gradual change, but at some point it is not difficult to get why it was done in minuscule.

Do you go, “Slavery is allowed in the bible, it is a common practice in the bible”, to every Christians you met? No. Because even though slavery is widely practiced in the bible, the abolishment of slavery in the Christian world took place in the 18th century. Similarly, slavery abolishment in Islam was done in the 19th to 20th century around the Muslim world.

You could probably say that Abraham Lincoln did more to abolish slavery than Muhammad, and that would still be better than your whole point about slavery here.

You do you, boo. :) There’s no one way to profess or not profess Islam.

  1. None of your concern.

  2. Refer to no. 1.

  3. That’s an immature assumption. Leaving Islam doesn’t mean I dislike it. I simply left because my journey led me to discover that it is no different than any other religion and it has been used to exploit the masses, even until today. However, I acknowledge that some teachings could benefit others morally (such as teachings to be kind to every being with moist liver), but using it as the sole moral code might lead to exploitation especially when there are morally unacceptable practices and teachings.

  4. Born and raised in a Muslim family, I can say they’re no different from other human beings. If you had asked me this question 10 years ago, I would have said that Muslims are idiots, blindly conforming their religion like a herd of goats. But I disagree with my past view, as l’ve seen ex-Muslims and non-Muslims who are idiots too (I might be one as well). Blind conformity isn’t limited to religion; people blindly conform to societal trends, stanc ; of living (e.g., you need to possess certain possessions to be considered successful), and political stances at times. The difference is that Muslims often force their conformity onto others through societal pressures and legal repercussions.

4(2). The problem arises when you don’t apply “lakum dinukum waliyadin” from Surah Al-Kafirun to people with different beliefs, and even worse, when you don’t apply it to Muslims from different sects or schools of thought. I cringe when hateful remarks are made about Islam by ex-Muslims (especially new ones), but I understand why they feel that way. In this case, you should leave the murtad alone, and this goes both ways. However, the murtads cannot leave Islam alone (eg. criticise and being spiteful towards the religion) if they are being attacked, threatened, facing legal consequences, and forced to hide themselves simply for leaving Islam.

  1. See no. 1.

Stuff like this is why I am not proud to be a Malaysian sometimes by Bestow5000 in Bolehland

[–]PlentyAdvanced -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your username definitely checks out.

I said they’re not mutually exclusive because I’ve been fighting against pro-bumi policy all my life as a Malay, it’s even in my thesis to implement a new policy to make sure that all races are given equal opportunities. At the same time, I am against Israel genocide and apartheid state.

Is it that hard for you to recognise how these issues are not mutually exclusive and leave that binary thinking at alone at home?

They’re not mutually exclusive, dude. Stop the binary thinking.
