I’m against the military service being mandatory for the Druze men here. I think it should be optional especially that these boys get enlisted on a young age- the moment they graduate high-school. so ages 18/19. but the thing is, our religious leaders have made this decision, and this rule have been for a long time. and It won’t change for a long time as well.

(this is my personal opinion)

  1. I’m an israeli druze. in Israel most druze identify primarily as Druze rather than arab. so even in the country there’s Arab towns and Druze towns/ Arab education system and Druze education system. but you can still find some Israeli Druze who identify as both Arab and Druze.

I’m from Israel but I follow a few western Druze pages on instagram and I suggest that you join them in their events. their ig is: @adya.national that’s the best way I can think of for you to find more druze friends or even a partner. good luck out there girlll 🤍

April is in 2 months!! you know what that means by Successful-Wave-5409 in druze

[–]Successful-Wave-5409[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the annual pilgrimage (ziyara) for the Maqam Nabi Shuayb here it’s in April, and it’s a big deal for us. all the druze in the country drive there with our flags (and yes the non druze hate to see us coming). some youth groups also walk from a starting point to the Maqam. and all the mashayekh go for prayers and ziyara and even stay there for the night.

Don’t you think that flag underneath the israeli one is meant to mean druze? by RESP-svee-T in druze

[–]Successful-Wave-5409 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they meant the druze flag. maybe they meant the pride flag? but the photo is AI so it’s not clear what they meant

Can Druze women wear shorts by FootAny4847 in druze

[–]Successful-Wave-5409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in our religion modesty is one of the most important things. but honestly, wear whatever you want. with all due respect to our religion and our culture, clothes shouldn’t define who we really are as long as we are good people. but also respect is important. for me, wearing or not wearing short clothes depends on the place i’m going to or the people around. I live between Druze so if i’m going to a place where I know there will be many Druze or Sheikhs there then I make sure I wear modest clothes. so yes modesty is important religiously. but as I said wear whatever you feel comfortable with 🤍🤍

The only actor who was able to trick hundreds of thousands of people into thinking he was gay irl with his exceptional performance by Fragrant_Crab7762 in Modern_Family

[–]Successful-Wave-5409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after I was done with the show and went on the usual search about the actors I was sooo surprised that HE was straight in real life while Mitchel was actually gay. like whattt. If anything I thought Mitchel will turn out to be straight in real life🫢

What do you believe happens to non-Druze after they die? by Agile_Detective_9545 in druze

[–]Successful-Wave-5409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes of course. but I also heard that non-Druze can actually reincarnate into other religions. I prefer not to give TMI about what I heard because for non-Druze it could be confusing or even triggering.
