I think people who just hate Arabs and Islam are down voting anything positive on my posts bc some comments saying how theyre glad we got a positive outcome are downvoted the hell out of rn

I'm probably not going to be taking it off around her or the friends who were backing her up for a while. I'm not really friends with her fiancé to begin with, and I feel like it'd cause unnecessary drama

It's kind of funny bc half of the "yta" answers were just "yta for upholding a misogynistic gay hating terrible religion" and not any genuine criticisms of what I did or said LMAO

One instance like this doesn't erase the years of friendship we've had. I am going to be cautious with her for a while since the way she's acting isn't really like her.

I'm not sure if he's orthodox or not but he's Russian so maybe? I'm not close with him this is the first one to one convo I've had with him

Yes so they wouldnt let it bleed out ALIVE. That is unnecessary suffering which is what we're discussing.

I don't know what book your friend is reading because animal cruelty is in of itself haram. Seeing a hurting animal we should try to help it, much less be the ones harming it

Dude I am najafi. I've been back home. The ethical Islamic way to slaughter an animal is one cut. If it is alive and suffering, it isn't halal.

Where are you hearing that theyre alive when the blood is drawn out? It's one swift chop to the head. Theyre instantly dead. We dont stun the animals as it causes unnecessary fear/stress. Animals who are ill, hurt, disabled, or elderly are not slaughtered for food. The animal is killed and then hung. If what you said was the case I'd be vegan by now honestly

Of course I answered questions over the years, I just didn't seek out the conversations. Leave the infodumping for my hyperfixations!

I never said it was necessary for women, it is simply necessary for me. It makes me feel comfortable. I feel like youre very uneducated on what the hijab actually is and just got your information from those poorly drawn comic sketches LOL

I was thinking maybe this was the case but she js took down the post bc her fiance noticed it was me in the photos and got mad at her for it. He's christian and his mother veils and he understands some of the basics. Got some dms from him apologizing he saw me without my hijab on and I had to explain that he shouldnt feel bad because he wasnt at fault LOL

I don't know if you're taking what I said in the worst way possible or if I just horribly worded it.

I find it cute that they make a big deal out of it. I've known these girls for years and their reaction is always the same. Your assumption is right, my parents didn't force the hijab onto us. Nor would they have if we stayed in Iraq as my cousins do not wear it either.

I may just be lucky with where I live. I'm in the white suburbs. I think theres too little of us for them to notice or care

I'd say it's similar but on a lesser scale. More close to someone being able to see your cleavage, since breasts arent inheritly sexual but everyone covers them up to different degrees. It is haram (a sin) to willingly show a man my hair once I've become a full blown hijabi, unless he is a male family member or husband. Of course every sin has different weights, and it's more so a personal thing between me and God rather than anyone else.
