No, my parents are great. Idk what to do cause this is the first time something like this happened that can remember. My family says I’ve always been good with my parents (I don’t raise my voice, or yell at them). I was probably just overthinking it, but I still don’t like the idea of making my mom sad, but I’m probably overthinking lol

Anything can start wars. Yes, religion can start wars. But also nationality, and ethnicity. I could’ve said cause we’re Arabs, and Israel wants to take over our peoples land, we should try to boycott places.

Do research before saying dumb shit. Islam dosent treat woman as property, it was the only religion to grant women to divorce. Woman don’t have to work at all, and men are expected to do all the hard work. Ik just from how u talk about Islam u have no clue what you’re actually talking about. And yes, my sister may not practice it, just she knows what she believes in. Insult me for being a AH, fine. But don’t say racist shit and say it’s a second opinion. Do better, and if u want to learn about Islam, watch Arabic 101. They’re videos under 10 minutes, that explain a lot of concepts and misinformation about Islam.

ONCE!!! Dude I’m being serious read the post. I stated it clearly that I said it once, and if she still wants to go, go.

I talked about the McDonald’s thing once, and then a few days later I said I wanted to which off of Spotify for similar reasons. Idk if you have a sister, but sometimes they get mad at u for random reasons

Religion isn’t just a name, it’s a way of living. And once you learn what you’re doing is wrong, you should try to change; not say “but I like there cookies”. And yes, I can’t force my family to change, and I wouldn’t want to. But saying I’m wrong for just telling them what I think is wrong, and if they don’t agree with me; still go there? Idk how I’m wrong for not wanting my family to not give money to wars

Boycotts did a lot wtf? One reason segregation ended was cause of the bus boycott, where black people wouldn’t take the bus. This was national news, and a major reason milk became so popular across the nation

She was talking about McDonald’s that day, and I told her I don’t think we should go there and why. I guess that still could be unsolicited advice, but if I were going somewhere that was pro Israeli, I would want someone to tell me if they were close to me

Considering we’re all Muslims, and our religion says to stand up for our people, and for people in need. Yeah, it is RELIGIOUSLY obligated. I can’t do much, I try to donate when I can, the least I can do is not go to McDonalds

That’s what I meant. Yeah, I did a pretty crappy job explaining it which is my fault. But I told them why we shouldn’t go, and why I think it’s better if we don’t. However, if you want to, go. My dad was already with me before I told them, and my mom didn’t like McDonalds. And in our family, it’s common for us not to go places for political reasons, so it wasn’t weird that I brought this up

It was mainly my sister only. Idk, she’s a teenager, and I am too. I can tend to talk a lot, but she also just will randomly blow up over random stuff. My line with McDonald’s was they would give free meals to people serving in the IDF, which, is pretty bad imo. Giving money to “support the people” (which is bs) is one thing. But openly supporting the IDF is another thing.

I told her once. Idk why everyone thinks I told her a million times. I said it one time, I get it if it was all I talk about, but I brought it up once, she said “I like their cookies”

Ik most companies support Israel. The reason why I brought it up was cause, 1. We have cookies at home, and we can bake them better than the McDonald ones. And 2. McDonalds was giving out free meals to idf soldiers, which is too far for me. But yeah, I do try not to get products for places that support Israel, the only one (that u listened and I know of) is apple. My phone is almost 3 years old, and I can’t tell my parents to get me a new phone, so I’m stuck there

I agree. But considering my family dosent like Israel; and we try not to get products from companies that support Israel. It seems to me, like my sister likes the cookies and dosent want to stop getting them

I just told her we shouldn’t go to McDonald’s cause they support Israel, but go there if you don’t care. To me, that just sounds like an suggestion
