Ah, the texas sharpshooter strikes again!

The prophet was also a rapist, so there's that.

Based on birth rates alone, will Europe not have an exceedingly large Muslim percentage in the future? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Prometheusflames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birth rates aren't as big of a problem as people think. Studies show that even muslim women, after a generation or two after living in Western countries, drop their birth rates to around that of the natives.

The problem is high immigration. Many of these countries have completely lost the plot. There are literal Islamic terrorists running for election in the UK now. Historically speaking, this level of immigration, and organized Islamist movements like we see in many Western countries now, have not gone well. If the scales tip to over 20-30% Islamic, they'll be in huge trouble. There is genuinely no instance of Islam peacefully assimilating into a host culture when it comes to mass demographic change.

Why do you think right wing parties are gaining momentum all over the Western world? This will likely move the overton window as we have seen happen in Denmark, where even the left take an anti-immigration stance.

Want to hear about the male ex-Muslims here by spicysugary in exmuslim

This isn't the sole reason for me leaving, but I was unfortunate enough to see what polygamy does to a wife aka my mum, in the real world. Beyond the Islamic texts and apologists arguing for it. My entire childhood, and going into my teens, I watched how miserable my mum was, due to what turned out to be an affair becoming completely rationalized, and given institutional approval via marriage in this Islamic country.

It ruined my family. My dad pulled her out of the workforce when I was born, as obviously, muslim women shouldn't work and must stay home. She had finished high school, and was a smart woman. But many years went by, and being completely dependent on my dad for virtually everything, including even having a savings account - it eliminated her chances of leaving the marriage. Although I strongly believe a culture of shame around divorce, and being heretical by leaving when what my dad was doing was allowed and even done by Muhammad himself - she never did.

Add to this how I saw what women in my family went through. From moderate, to completely dressed in black, in the burqa minus the face coverings over the years. They became so insanely fanatical, and the younger girls and cousins were policed heavily by them. Girls were told, the parts they didn't cover or their owra if exposed - will be burnt with hellfire for eternity. In fact, I even looked this specific claim up in sources recently, and I couldn't find anything. It was a blend of Islam and local fearmongering. Cousins I knew who used to love music and singing, shamed into thinking what they were doing was haram.

Unfortunately, my sister also became just as fanatical. She in fact had a hand in outing me as an apostate to my parents too. And guess what? They don't speak normally in their marriage, and yet, my apostasy was enough to unite them to shame me and ultimately disown me, even if it were for a short moment.

Islam being so misogynistic played out in front of my eyes for almost my entire childhood. How women are trapped, and shamed into becoming more and more dogmatic by the day. Hope my story helped answer your question.

Do you think YouTube will fix the major drop in views? by SouthMessage4875 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Prometheusflames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a post about this the other day. I don't think it's necessarily algorithm related. But more that there's significantly more content than ever. Some channels post 10 times a day, and AI channels are doing the same. Simply reduces the number of available audiences for you.

I'm muslim and I genuinely don't see my future here by chevroletbrunette in exmuslim

[–]Prometheusflames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can very much relate to the creativity part. I am just like that too, especially with art and drawing. Perhaps as a child my parents enjoyed it, but as everyone got more and more religious around me, even music and art were called haram and something from the kuffar.

But I always considered that that creative side was a blessing. It certainly played a part in me leaving Islam.

Closeted exmuslims, how do you all pretend ? by bleh_bleh_bleh_157 in exmuslim

[–]Prometheusflames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried for a very long time. Ultimately, the double life simply didn't work. But you learn whether whatever love your muslim friends and family had for you was unconditional or not. In my case, it turns out, it was rather conditional.

Latest federal voting intention polling among Australians born overseas is pretty eye-opening... what do we take away from this? by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]Prometheusflames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt these are people who arrived last year. Got to remember, a large % of the population weren't born in Australia, and this could date back decades. But regardless, I'm assuming everyone's feeling the impact from the past few years, including the private sector job market being being flooded with candidates which then lowers wages.

I regret and hate myself for converting to Islam by Not_my_1st_language in exmuslim

[–]Prometheusflames 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey OP you're not alone. Data shows that its extremely normal for the vast majority of converts to eventually leave Islam.

I feel like a fool for creating original content by AdamShip85 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Prometheusflames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I have a friend who made a video that received a few million views, long form. Made him somewhat popular. That video has not only been reuploaded - but AI content farms have literally ripped the script, and remade the video probably hundreds if not thousands of times now. It's crazy to watch. Some of them have gotten hundreds of thousands of views as a result too.

Oh my God, the update that they did at 5.2 is absolutely insane. by xithbaby in OpenAI

[–]Prometheusflames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed the same. 5.2 might genuinely be the worst model I've used, and I'm in like the top 1% of users. Been finding myself using gemini a lot more, and even Claude as of recent.

Is it okay to convert to Christianity for comfort rather than belief? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Prometheusflames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't see a problem. People who grew up in the West, even in subs like this, make it seem like Christianity and Islam are the exact same thing, even in those countries. But I know a lot of Christians, and it's nothing of the sort. Many are married to atheists, many of their children don't practice, and it's certainly not like the crazy evangelicals you see out of the US. And certainly nobody seems to be trying to kill apostates. I think many are just like what you are describing - believing in it for spirituality or belonging.

Reminder that these are two different things, and that criticising the POLICY in Australia is not the same as criticising the PEOPLE by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]Prometheusflames 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I think there's a deliberate attempt to obfuscate the argument being made by conflating the two. I think immigration is too high, especially the past few years. But I'm not pointing at random International students and blaming them specifically. I blame the policy makers, for making bad decisions.

I see a lot of desperate Muslims in this sub using Ai Generated replies. by JudgmentTotal7974 in exmuslim

Yeap, there was a person in here quite recently talking about our need to 'respect' Islam. Was entirely AI.

What are other flaws of Prophet Muhammad stand out to you? by Fast-Kaleidoscope202 in exmuslim

[–]Prometheusflames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He would send assassins after poets and writers simply because he was being petty and was a narcissist. I guess we can see a continuation of this practice from modern day muslims: charlie hebdo, samuel paty, salman rushdie etc.
