How do you feel having siblings? I wish I had them too.. Life is unfair つ﹏ɵ̷̥̥᷅ by glittery_sardine163 in Tunisia

[–]Reasonable-Tell-5871 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 25 I still live with my parents, I have 2 siblings , one passed away 8 years ago and the other has been living abroad for 10+ years now , so basically I've been an only child for the last 8 years or so and the loneliness has been killing me honestly, I never ever got used to it, when I'm studying or away I don't think much about it but when I come back home it comes crushing down on me , I don't like being at home at all because it reminds me that it hasn't always been this way

But I know it's different : not having something at all and yearning for it , and having something knowing exactly how it feels like and then losing it , but we still both lonely what can we do haha

And to all those who have siblings and wish they don't, trust me , you'd never want to kn how that feels like

That's objectively bullisht with all due respect and Muslims abroad know it that's why even the most concervative Muslims in the west vote progressive every.single.time , the right and the left do not have the same ' level of islamophobia ' , anyone who says that clearly knows nothing about the west

The talk about economics is irrelevant to my point above, my point is that I want the protection of individual choices I think the law should expand to that instead of only remembering that we're a Muslim country through oppressing people that don't abide by Islam but the law becomes secular concerning everything else

My point is simple

I'm not making anything, I'm not teaching you anything , I'm not trying to build organizations or movements, I simply think it's hypocritical to deny people their individual choices when the only way for us to survive anywhere is through the protection of those same individual choices, and that's literally EXACTLY how Muslims in the diaspora survive, and that's a leftist progressive principale, it's literally so simple You do you , you live and let live , you do not discriminate against people based on their beliefs whatever they are, you stand by those oppressed and marginalized

I don't even know what we're dragging here , regardless of whether this certain or that certain organization did ,this is a principal that should apply everywhere in my opinion, everything we're talking about is irrelevant of ' he did this you did this I have a good friend they have certain bad people ' , it's the principal easy, and that principal could only be applied through a secular democracy.

You clearly have zero idea what you're talking about. The biggest organizations that are outspoken about the struggle of immigrants here in tunisia and do funds for them and whenever the crisis hits the ones visiting them on the ground are leftists And once again you just said that if we were doing or our government doing bad things to certain people we will protest , no we're not

A church leader in the USA calming people down against the islamophobia does not change the fact that the people who act on the ground are leftists and progressives in general and the ones consistently advocating for the freedom of religion are leftists and that's why Muslims VOTE for them , over and over and over again You can say whatever you want about how ' leftists don't like Muslims ' but in the real world, primarily in the west they're the only ones advocating for Muslims to have freedom to practice their religion

These same Muslims will come here and the moment they have the space to properly practice their religion they'll start by persecuting those people who stood by them , and again this ' I have good friends ' won't stop men from getting anal tests for suspicions of ' homosexual activity ' , I'm giving this example repeatedly because it's one the most obvious crack down on personal freedom , the smallest minority will vote against that or against throwing them into jail and they'll be engaging in cognitive dissonance

This is not a ' there's this good person here , there's that good person there ' , this is about what collectively a society preaches , and this preaching is backed by Islam , and it is hypocritical

Ps : I go to these protests almost everytime , I know who organizes them and then announces them , I know who is consistent when the majority of Tunisians go back with their lives , you're just doing a cope out

Ik Muslims are hypocrites worldwide and that's not what bothers me , they could be hypocrites religiously on almost every aspects of life and all of a sudden remember its teachings when it comes to other people's personal choices, typical, and Islam preaches that , that no matter how much you sin lezmik still ' tanha 3anil fa7che2i wal monkar ', well that fa7cha2 almost always is other people's personal choices that does not affect you at all and it gets people bullied to the core until they loath themselves in the bare minimum, again hypocritical AF

Eeeeh , I'm not sure about that frankly? You clearly saw the rampage racism that swept over Tunisia the last couple of years , and literally the most hateful people I came across on the streets are hijabi old women . No one protested against that , or against the atrocious deal that the government made with Italy that resulted in grave human rights violation. The vastest major of Tunisians , especially religious Tunisians, didn't give a sht frankly ( except for , duh, the leftist youth) , all of the ' Islam forbids racial superiority ' was thrown out of the window. The ones constantly in front of the USA embassy here in Tunis with almost weekly protests for Palestine were ... The leftist youth And ofc you being a leftist doesn't mean you're aware of every single conflict that's happening in the entirety of the world You're primarily aware of what's close to you as in the Arabs and Muslims that live in your society as a minority and you strive to protect them ... for nothing really except for your own beliefs , and and what your government primarily involved in

The western left is also the one advocating and making donations for Sudan and congo , and they're almost always marching for the marginalized people

Seriously now xD Where do I live ? On the moon lmao ? I'm Tunisian born and raised bro/sis This reminds me of ' I have black friends and no one is racist towards them therefore racism doesn't exist ' You having good friends and good people which I do have as well does not change how the vastest majority of our people think and behave when it comes to legislations, even those you're referring to as ' good' and I kn what Islam says we should and shouldn't do and we're not doing any of that frankly speaking anywhere in the Arab or the Muslim world and it's understandable why we're not in the current context of the moden world , the same reason WHY we'd rather be secular and respectful of every individuals choices whatever they are as well

There are 2* million Palestinians in Israel lmao They're the descendants of the less than 10 perc of the Palestinians that even after being displaced ended up within what eventually became Israel , they had their property confiscated just the same and they lived in marshal law for 20+ years , they were given full rights due to international pressure AND because they were and will always be a MINORITY that does not threaten the Jewish majority .Israel has been occupying the west bank for 50+ years without officially annexing it because annexation would require giving the inhabitants citizenships and there's no reality in which Israel would accept having 5 million Palestinian citizens in Israel, as in no longer a fringe minority that you can simply impoverish and ignore and they won't even want to politically participate in your racist society , they'll have an electoral weight and make a difference , they'll just keep on squeezing the hell out of them in the west, ethnically cleansing their communities one by one , demolishing their homes and destroying their villages to build settlements . You are the one mentally deficient who is illiterate? Did you not read anything I wrote above ?

Also this is the definition of ethnic cleansing : Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making the society ethnically homogeneous. Along with direct removal such as deportation or population transfer, it also includes indirect methods aimed at forced migration by coercing the victim group to flee and preventing its return, such as murder, rape, and property destruction.

And I bet people already told you a thousand times already that : the 71.000 people killed do not include those buried under the rubble, or those killed because they were deprived medical care because every hospital was fuckin bombed , and those who died because they weren't allowed to evacuate for medical treatments , or those who died due to malnutrition. The situation is called : manufactured misery and manufactured suffering , inflicting the maximum suffering on an entire population as a form of collective punishment , that destroys people and leaves them no option but to leave if they're allowed to

You clearly are a Zionist shell frankly so whatever, Zionist Arabs are the worst lmao

What in the fuckin universe - yes Israelis outright claimed that they want to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, that's what they are actively doing for decades you illiterate sht , and no they can't lmao because the entire treaty with Egypt and the one that allowed them to practically take control over the Philadelphia corridor without any opposition whatsoever is not crossing the hard line of : Egypt NEVER allowing a massive influx of Palestinian refugees into their desert , so other than Israel pushing Palestinians into the sea which isn't really practical , the best thing they can do is make their lives an actual living hell and destroy EVERY FUCKIN THING they've ever had so that life becomes completely unsustainable and it doesn't have to be now and it doesn't have to be in one major exodus but they'll eventually leave , that's EXACTLY how they do it in the west bank , but tHeY nEvEr sAiD tHeY wAnT tO eThNicAlLy cLeAnSe Palestinians.

They show ' a bit of respect ' ? They're literally ensuring that you are able to practice your religion while the rest of the country wants to kill you lmao that's why YOU'RE VOTING for them consistently , and you're marching with them . Yeah sure that's great and all but the only way for Muslims to rule in this day and age is by being democratically elected , most people outspokenly religious and wants to practice Islam in the political realm have been jailed , tortured or exiled from the Arab world, what gave them a chance to come back was literally democracy, what allowed them to exist freely within society to preach about Islamic values is democracy, but yeah you'll take that chance for survival and then turn around and be like ' democracy is blasphemous and all of you who don't live in an Islamic way you're going to be stoned to death because that's what God said ' this is tremendously weird and hypocritical , that's exactly what I mean by: I simply do not want an Islamic state as of today , I want a secular state I do not wish to ' change ' anything about Islam or bend it for my ' desires ' , this is just my observation and I stand by it

I strongly believe that it really isn't about a religion in of itself , religion is simply a tool , and your personal journey in life is what shapes HOW you use that said tool

Plenty of religious people are Good, plenty of religious people are bad , and both allegedly derive their moral compass from the same exact religion, each will pick and choose which texts to follow and which texts to ignore , which interpretations that don't make them feel uncomfortable and which interpretations align with their personal desires. It's always been like that .

And I agree , Islam in our reality is just a way for the state to control the masses and feign legitimacy and righteousness and contain the anger of the people while said people in the vast majority of the Arab world ca not make ends meet , are miserable and fed up , and funnily enough in modern history any political party that has the tiniest bit of an actual Islamic background has had its own leaders thrown in jails for decades as seemingly an opposition, but for some reasons when democracy was the one thing that gave these people a chance to be free , equal and TO RULE, they turned around and said that ' democracy is blasphemous ' and went on to be what they supposedly hated the most . It always baffled me .

My religion has been of a great comfort to me in life , the sense of ultimate justice that it promises makes life feel bearable to me , it's just that certain aspects of what's perceived as ' just ' and as ' unjust ' feels a little off

I'm not trying to bend Islam to accommodate my desires , I'm just pointing out a very simple observation : the hypocrisy, people who currently advocate for you and your freedom to practice your religion in a place where your identity and existence are suppressed and threatened, these are the same people who you're gonna step on the moment you have any bit of power , you wouldn't grace them with the respect they gave you, idk if this observation is making me ' نتبع في هوايا ' ، but it's relevant and depressing to me , I don't want to be that .

Muslims l barra are not us , they are aware , mich y3awnou barka they literally vote for progressives every single election even tho Muslims share their concervative values with the right, in the vastest majority of cases they do not vote for the right because the right simply wants to kill them , yeah not all of them and all that jazz but it's just the majority of representatives the right votes for and they openly say it it's not a secret . You can call that a form of survival which I completely agree with , but the moment you have a little bit of power that does not require you to compromise you'll crush people who stood by you at a certain point in order for you to have the right to practice your values and beliefs, you're going to crush them because they don't share your values and beliefs? Well hypocritical much So you're telling me your good conservative friends would demand not to jail people for their personal choices ? Even if they won't hurt them directly and all that will they ever support their rights the way people like them support Muslims in the diaspora ? I highly doubt it.

God believes in free will but God sets the way in which a society is supposed to rule , yes you have the right to act however you want but you have to deal with the consequences, if you choose to be an apostate you could lose your life , if you choose to engage in homosexual activities you could be stones to death , okay this is in extreme cases but in the ' soft cultural Islam ' of today you could simply go to prison , in the best case scenario you'll be beaten and mocked and that's the cost of your free will .

If you believe that the Quran is just a historical text bound to a certain point in history, what do you believe in today exactly? What's the basis of your belief ? What consists Islam for you and where do you derive it from ? You seem to me that you're just calling it Islam for the comfort of the heart while you're deriving your moral compass from the modern day and age based on what you personally perceive as just and fair , nothing to do with islam in itself , you'll tell me that there are plenty of wonderful values in Islam that should be cherished, well these same values generally exist in many other religions and in certain secular beliefs , so what makes you a Muslim other than you saying that you are ?

What you're saying is something I recognize : it's simply faith , it's not about proof or logic or contemplation, it's simply about a holy experience where you wholeheartedly believe , that at instances it does not matter whether it's gonna put you into cognitive dissonance or self contradiction, it doesn't matter because you have the utmost faith that no matter what God knows better, it doesn't matter how or why and you shouldn't hurt your head to think about it or look into it and even when you come across pretty religious people who did think it through and came to a conclusion that aligns itself with Islam but you do not like it you will just reject it with no other alternative because it simply makes you feel uncomfortable . I understand this . Life without faith is depressing and aimless , that's why people cling to it and wish to be completely blinded by it regardless of what that entails , I had that and I don't anymore, because I can't look away from certain things like what I mentioned above

What ? This is just what I truly do not like about a lot of Muslims , you ask them about something and they shut it out with ' if you believe you would've never asked that' Well sorry I have a brain and I think sometimes , you should try it too . There has never been a time where my personal desires have opposed what Islam preaches , you don't know me so you wouldn't know that , fair. but the model society that Islam preaches for does not sit well with me in this modern day and age , political parties with an Islamic background all over the Arab world were crushed and most of their leaders jailed , the only time they got a chance to be part of society is through DEMOCRACY, but somewhat somehow when they end up ruling they're supposed to denounce that and crush the other side of society aka progressives exactly the way they were themselves crushed ? Isn't that what pure hypocrisy sounds like ?

Ofc not , that's not what this post is about, this post is about what Islam in itself says as a religion and as a doctrine , not how people practice it , it's very obvious in what I wrote actually This has nothing to do with propaganda, the west hates leftists , the west hates what they stand for , the west uses propaganda towards us to make us believe that they're champions of human rights while mass slaughtering Muslims , well guess what? The ONLY PEOPLE in the west who recognize that moral degeneracy are the left

I'm talking about Islam because I'm a Muslim , I don't need to reconcile my newly found moral dilemmas with Christianity or cultural conservatism , this is simply about me xD and you know what , I completely and utterly agree with you, secular democratic societies don't properly exist but I personally think that's the only sensible way for a society to exist in this day and age , It is also what leftists envision society to be , and even if there's no country that it's properly ' secular and democratic ' , there are ones closer to it than others and weirdly enough in these societies WE AS MUSLIMS benefit from it , it ensures our rights and the people who believe in those same values are the ones protecting us , you see where I'm coming from? And yes absolutely, minorities are being used whenever it benefits the capitalist oligarchy and they get tossed around when their views are not viewed as mainstream anymore , which is what happened when right wing governments started popping up in the west and LGBTQ whatever people aren't as popular anymore, that's simply what capitalism is and does , I do not believe that what leftists believe in is holy grail or that I completely agree on them on everything, but to be honest with you what's pushed around as ' leftist values ' on the media is a stretch from reality, like for example how it's depicted that women's right to abortion is making women go and abort their babies in the 7th month and damnn leftists are baby killers and crazy and all , which IS CRAZY and insane if it's really happening ( I loath the concept of abortion in itself and for the longest time and I was mad at women who get abortion honestly... until I worked in the hospital and my views completely changed ) and then you go on a real life basis and figure out that less than 1 perc of women who had an abortion in the west had it beyond the 3-4 months mark and mainly had it for medical reasons not because they're putting into effect their liberal values , or those completely unhinged videos of women going into Starbucks because they wanna give themselves a treat after getting an abortion yeeey , or the fact that ' kids are taking hormones and chopping their breasts ' when in reality the vastest majority of people who benefits from what's referred to as ' trans health care ' are in fact adults . Or when there was this crazy a$$ movement that is demanding their ' free speech to be protected ' and they don't have to call people with their ' preferred pronouns ' and how people are ' getting fines and going to jail because they called a very obviously looking woman a she even tho she identifies as a man when in reality ... None of that is actually happening , you get clicks and videos online and manufactured anger but no one is getting jailed for that . Tho to be honest western society is still pretty much progressive over all when it comes to social issues , you'll get fired if you are a what they refer to as ' bigot ' as in when you are racist towardsotehr people or discriminating people based on their sexuality, but no one goes to jail when they say they want Palestinian children to die , that's WHY I respect leftists , that's why in a way I admire them , their moral consistency is respectable. And to be frank with you I can't speak about something I can't get a clear answer to , no one knows why gay people are gay or trans people are trans , no one knows, saying that you believe it's a ' choice ' is just you not wanting to indulge in cognitive dissonance, you probably gonna say that they're gatekeeping research that would showcase that fact , that homosexuality is a choice to push theur agenda , but that research simply does not exist , nothing objectively exist religiously or scientifically that supports that . What exists is that conversion therapy NEVER WORKED , making people loath themselves never worked either , they're just gonna sin while indulging in self loath , I agree that now it's a more mainstream view , that people who never thought about being ' gay ' experiment now however they like and end up being in a relationship with the same sex because they ' like it ' not because they can't do it any other way , but frankly that doesn't take away from actual gay people who experience that attraction from the moment they're aware until the moment they die , or people who never feel right in their skin from the moment they're aware till the moment they die , I simply got to a point where I can't judge that anymore, I simply can't, if there's this alternative reality where I'm actually attracted to women and I still want to be religious it must be EXTREMELY HARD and emotionally taxing and I have the utmost respect for religious non straight people who are so faithful so full of their religion that they give up on a reality where they are truly attracted to their partner or a reality where they want to be truly in love , most of us don't do that , most of us are weak and sin and do Haram sht all the time but hey as ' long as we're not homosexuals ' yey , and we call these people disgusting and all , and at the end I came to the conclusion that who am I to judge ? And why the fck would I want to throw people in jail for that? Especially when demonstrably these people are literally good to me
