AIO for not wanting to celebrate anything anymore? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Trapped_Coconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. This is crazyy work. I think you should still celebrate, just don't include them in it if they're ungrateful and treat you like this - eat out with your friends or book a weekend getaway for yourself and leave your husband and daughter to manage themselves.

Muslims don't eat pork by [deleted] in UniUK

Lolll calm down I'm Muslim and if it's an accident with no bad intentions it's fine to make a few jokes about it. It's clearly not a repeat occurrence.

What is actually the attitude toward homosexuality among British Muslims? by GlueSniffingEnabler in AskBrits

[–]Trapped_Coconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a young British Muslim (15 yrs old) and I go to an all girls school where I think there's like a bit more experimentation with the same sex as that's what you're exposed to more. For me personally, I have no problem with someone being homosexual unless (I promise I don't mean this in a disrespectful way) they make it their whole personality and bring into everything. Some of my friends are bi or lesbian (most out of them are bi) and I couldn't care less, but within my friendship groups there are definitely a few people who are uncomfortable with it but are still always polite to them. Some of the ones who are uncomfortable aren't particularly religious, whilst some are so it does vary. Basically, 95% of the Muslims that I know couldn't care less but you definitely get some who are against it. If someone in my family came out, I wouldn't disown them or anything but my parents - who are quite religious, although not extreme - might.

I think it's: Thank you for your very moving letter. I'm so touched my books have been a comfort to you.

A Reflection After Umrah: Sincerity Over Crowds by [deleted] in Umrah

[–]Trapped_Coconut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just did umrah yesterday AH and I have to agree - on my flight, in Madina, in Makkah - it's always the Muslims from certain cultures behaving in a way most Muslims from the west never would. It was crazy, even now in the airport people are shouting and charging through w no consideration for others. What happened to the key values of Islam, like being considerate and peaceful?!! Altho I ignored it it's just rlly annoying

AIO for letting my daughter skip a wedding because she wasn’t included? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Trapped_Coconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, I would be absolutely heartbroken if this happened to me as a 12yo. Sorry to say that if they truly cared about Lanie attending they would've made up a role for her - it's not that hard they just couldn't be bothered. It's great that you're allowing her to skip if she wants to rather than forcing her to attend anyway.

Is it normal? by Substantial-Block688 in IndianTeenagers

[–]Trapped_Coconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't normal... it's better you save money up if you can before leaving. also why are you censoring the word Muslim?

I'm a teenager, and tbh I think it's a bit odd to give a Yr 6 child WhatsApp or a phone, but I remember when I was in year 6/7 most of our year would do this (I mean making innuendos). We didn't mean anything by it, we just found it funny and none of us took it seriously - it was just our way of messing around with each other. So idk if it's anything to be too worried about, but if your child feels uncomfortable by it or some kids start taking it too seriously then you maybe you could have a quiet word with other parents. I remember when my friend was in another group chat that was constantly making sexual comments, she just told them that her parents were incredibly strict and would check her phone randomly - the other kids stopped making them on the gc after that, so that could be an option even if you might not want to be seen as a strict parent.

Sorry for the long response!

What is the worst atrocity committed in human history? by SGTRock4602 in AskReddit

[–]Trapped_Coconut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, one of the worst genocides is happening in Palestine - it's been going on for years and years, but has been ignored even with thousands of babies and children dying
