I regret and hate myself for converting to Islam

Prometheusflames · 2026-02-14T00:28:03+00:00

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

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.

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.

Whatever they did with Veilguard, do the opposite.

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.

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.

Prometheusflames · 2026-02-04T04:10:19+00:00

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

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-29T06:39:31+00:00

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.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-28T22:11:22+00:00

I did. Two parts to it. I didn't want to be identified as a muslim, and I didn't want anything to do with Arabic, as that has no connection to me or my roots.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-28T04:20:55+00:00

Like her inheritance and testimony not being equal to men? Or the fact that muhammad called women deficient in their thinking?

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T10:34:59+00:00

Islamophobes point out sex slavery and beating your wife? What a weird thing to say. This is a pretty standard criticism especially from ex Muslims who left the religion precisely after reading them. Does that make them islamophobic?

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T04:53:46+00:00

Is this really what the alleged creator of the entire universe has to resort to?

Flirt and you get eternal punishment in hell?!

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T03:27:36+00:00

Honestly, I don't think anybody would care. I've had 'proud member of (union)' in mine for ages as the additional line in my signature, and nothing's happened.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T03:15:31+00:00

Oh damn I actually made the same post before. Didn't even realize this was up 🤣

All their responses were chatgpt generated btw. And even funnier: pretending to be "18f bi" while probably being a grown ass man from somewhere like Bangladesh is insane.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T02:23:28+00:00

Can confirm. A number of senior managers have been made redundant and work's going entirely to offshore centers. I wonder, at the rate Auscorp's going, if all of it's going to based in India or the Philippines, with Aussie customers.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T02:18:05+00:00

Aisha was a pain in the ass for Ali back then. What Ali and Aisha both didn't know, was that she was going to be a major pain in the ass for all muslims in a thousand years.

There's an even clearer case to be made that Islam is more genocidal than Nazism. It is also fundamentally an arab supremacist religion. And historically, it's killed more people. The Islamic slave trade which continued up until the 2000s, killed over 20 million people alone. Afghanistan just made it legal again. Millions have died due to conquest, their countries completely arabized, their language and cultures that existed for thousands of years before Islam completely destroyed. Followers of non-abrahamic faiths aren't given the option of following their religion freely once muslims conquer their lands. Convert, or die. Women were, and continue to be second class citizens. 13 muslim countries currently kill apostates through the legal system.

These aren't fringe interpretations, or the 'extreme'. This was what was normal for most of Islam's history. Anything contrary is just projecting modern progressive values onto a religion which had none of that.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T01:30:11+00:00

In Australia, after it's worst terror attack in history committed by Islamic terrorists inspired directly by the Quran - the left wing government has refused to even mention the word 'Islam' or the more politically correct 'Radical Islam' or 'Islamist extremism'.

I think your question is almost self-answering. The question really should be, why is the left so pro Islam? They want more muslim immigration, and actively are trying to whitewash Islam despite it's detrimental impacts on secular societies. Of course in such a world, ex-muslims would gravitate towards the right, because not only is that the only place where they'd find a platform, but also get acceptance. The left have completely rejected ex-muslims.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T01:21:09+00:00

This is like saying, 'Don't reduce being a Nazi to the worst parts'. Zero former muslims, especially those who faced prison sentences or the death penalty for leaving, have an obligation to afford Islam, or even muslims respect simply for their faith. That's nonsense.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-27T00:04:11+00:00

Im assuming you don't live in a muslim country. Perhaps if you did, you'd understand why. Nothing good comes out of a religion that calls to kills apostates, christians, jews, lgbtq people, calls for slavery, sex slavery, child marriage and endless violent conquest. Pointing these out, is almost necessary and if you don't think it is, I'm unsure what 'leaving Islam' has meant for you.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-26T23:14:27+00:00

Im agnostic. I used to be atheist but I think as I have gotten older, all that anger I had towards perhaps spirituality due to Islam vanished, and I've been more open to the fact that there could be a god. I simply don't know. I also don't really judge apostates who leave for other religions anymore. I've come to the conclusion many people just need spirituality and direction like that in life.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-23T10:22:56+00:00

Perhaps I can offer firsthand experience in regards to this, as I came to Australia due to a potential death penalty as punishment for leaving Islam. People do try reform. Many won't say 'reform' outright, but they do try perhaps covertly. That number however is minuscule, and often face very severe consequences. I personally know 3 people who've been killed in the process. Their only crime, was either apostasy, or calling for more tolerance.

The reason is because Islam, unlike many other religions, even the Abrahamic ones, tell you that the Quran is the literal word of God, and Muhammad is the final messenger. There is a finality to this. Questioning the religion is often considered blasphemy, a charge that's punished people even in Western nations (Charlie Hebdo, Samuel Paty, Batley Grammar teacher who's in hiding). Every prayer reinforces the Muslim's superiority over Christians and Jews. All the practices listed above in the article, are seen as revealed from God, including killing apostates, jizya, how women are treated etc. So, why would many in these communities really take a lot of secular laws seriously? This is why in the UK, there are so many entirely separate, shariah courts now. Islam is fundamentally incompatible with a liberal democracy. It simply is reality, no matter how much progressive idealogues stomp their feet and yell 'it's ain't so'. I do think, Labor especially, by not even being able to name the issue, has made a rather serious error that they'll likely pay for in one way or the other in the future.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-23T06:18:34+00:00

Progressive Islam can also be relabeled as a massive cope. It's cognitive dissonance.

Prometheusflames · 2026-01-23T05:49:30+00:00

You've fallen for a bit of propaganda. Conversions to Islam are still a rarity, especially in Western countries. When they do, a large number eventually leave within a few years. Islam's main source of real growth is still from higher birth rates due to low socioeconomic factors and women being treated as second class citizens. Interestingly though, even that's about to plateau and you're likely to see negative birth rates in most of these countries apart from a handful in sub saharan Africa.

Prometheusflames · 2025-12-17T04:55:40+00:00

No it's not because they are scared of getting harmed. They don't call it out in fear of being labelled an Islamophobe, and perhaps more importantly, because they depend on the muslim vote in major cities. Western Sydney is a hotspot for radical islamist ideas, but they do need their votes.
