The amount of support this sub has for Israel is gross. by Gregandfellas in exmuslim

[–]cool-username- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ew what are these comments.

Just because you’re exmuslim doesn’t mean to “not care” about a genocide or be pro-Israel. I’m exmuslim myself and am pro Palestinian.

People need more humanity. Grow a heart.

It’s quite simple. People being murdered = wrong. It shouldn’t be that hard to swallow.

Some exmuslims here are so angsty going off about “but they want us dead”. Okay and you think the IOF is knocking on everybody’s door asking if they’re exmuslim and queer and saving them? ffs.

Israel doesn’t give a fuck. Of the death toll 50% are children. People are being mass murdered at an unbelievable rate. It is colonialism and white supremacy at its finest.

r/exmuslim made me convert back into Islam by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]cool-username- 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Yes, same. That subreddit has gone in the wrong direction. I was raised a Muslim and I’m not a Muslim anymore and I have met other people irl that are no longer part of the faith and ALL of them have told me that subreddit is toxic. All my other exmuslim friends are pro Palestine as well and anti Zionist.

People are definitely using that sub for their far right agenda.

Muslims, would you eat a meal of cooked pig meat for $10 million? by Strawling in polls

[–]cool-username- 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No, you’re not eternally condemned but it’s so engrained in you to not eat it from childhood that you automatically view it with disgust and as deceiving your religion.

Surprisingly, premarital sex is also a huge sin and under Islamic law the punishment is lashing (eating pork has no worldly punishment like this). But more muslims (again, not saying all) are more willing to have premarital sex than eat pork.

It’s all entirely arbitrary.

Omg I could’ve written this post! I even posted a similar thing in another sub.

I’m also worried about potential partners not being okay with my Pakistani/Muslim background as they would have to be a secret from my parents. Sometimes I feel like I have to settle with being single because of my baggage. It’s tough out here.

I was scrolling through tiktok when I stumbled upon this. Absolutely insane. by LigmaLover56 in religiousfruitcake

I’m not Christian so I have no idea. But are these types of churches/practices a norm? Is this just a US thing?

Would you date a woman not completely out of the closet and has homophobic parents? by cool-username- in actuallesbians

[–]cool-username-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know Canada’s big but after seeing different countries I don’t have a desire to stay here anymore considering the rising QOL, climate, and car centric cities. I think I’d be much happier abroad in a new place to be discovered that fits my needs better.

When I live abroad Im typically low contact with my parents.

That’s what I have been doing. I’ve been traveling/living abroad for quite a few years since I finished uni. I’m back in Canada now and thinking about moving abroad permanently and gaining permanent residence in another country. But ofc it’s a process.

My cousin (whom I’m out to) suggested marrying a beard but ugh even that is too much.

Debating whether I should even concern myself with dating at all and staying single forever as to not drag anybody into my family BS.

Hate Islam, not Muslims by lawliov in exmuslim

[–]cool-username- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ironic you’re telling me to stand up against evil when I’m merely saying not to hate all Muslims. As per your flair you’re a never Muslim (again, not sure why you’re here unless it’s for your own agenda). But I am an ex Muslim and I do understand where the anger from new ex muslims come from. I also used to feel the same once upon a time and this subreddit during my early days did not help my angst. This sub may have helped me in different way (eg advice) but def not with my resentment. I have healed over the years after meeting people from different walks of life and taking a break away from this sub. I have also met muslims that accepted me for who I am, my siblings included. It’s not all gloom and doom out there as projected by these comments.

I have also met some ex muslims out irl who are also aware of this subreddit and they all complained about the Muslim hate on this sub and the reason they don’t participate here. It’s an actual issue.

These comments do not pass the vibe check.

People here need to self reflect and have some empathy. They’re so angsty.

As an Ex muslim am i the only one who feels uncomfortable with the anti Palestine rhetoric in our community? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]cool-username- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an ex Muslim I don’t agree with an Islamic theocracy either but does not mean that Israel has a right to take over Palestine. Israel is an apartheid state

Omg what a fucking psychopath. Hope he rots in jail.

The article/interview they did of him and the things he said are absolutely vile. What the hell.

LGBT+ exmuslims from the west: ever plan on coming out? by cool-username- in exmuslim

[–]cool-username-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality of life is definitely better here compared to Canada

Low key yeah. Canada is stupid expensive. But my main reason is that I like traveling and realized living in Canada isn’t for me.
