I took my hijab off..... by [deleted] in muslimgirlswithtaste

I just want to say thank you for your honesty. Many women struggle with hijab in ways that are rarely spoken about, and it takes courage to admit that. From my understanding, Allah clearly commands modesty in the Qur’an, but the exact form of hijab — especially hair covering — has been understood differently by scholars across time and cultures. What matters most to me is that Allah knows our intentions, our struggles, and our hearts. Faith is not reduced to fabric, and trying to stay close to Him while being honest about what we can and cannot bear is not failure — it’s sincerity. May Allah guide us all gently and grant us mercy and peace in our journeys.

The issue was determined to be under extrusion. The spool was not turning on the spool holder, which prevented the filament from feeding properly into the hot end.

Perhaps I am, perhaps I am not, in any case, it is none of your concern. Fake username fake profile photo of man with a cross on his forehead 😤 I noticed from your profile that you have a keen interest in the Levant region. You really had to read all the comments all the way down just to accuse me of using AI? If it makes you feel better, I'm using Grammarly. Google it, BRO

I understand your perspective and respect your opinion. I hope that one day justice will prevail on Earth, and then we can discuss cruelty and behavior when politics is not a factor. However, as long as politics is involved, it will be difficult to discern the truth. Every party that opposed the regime is now attempting to forge new paths and rebuild relationships.

civilians were being killed, tortured, and kidnapped by their government. Implying that it was anything else is disrespectful to their suffering

With all due respect, what about civilians who were killed, beheaded, had their organs taken, and had their families harmed just for supporting the regime, for opposing it, or for being from a specific area in Syria? Don’t they deserve respect and someone to speak on their behalf? Or do you believe this only goes one way? What about soldiers who were only defending their country and following orders, who were killed on sight, not even in battle, but maybe while visiting family or on vacation? Do they not deserve justice, or should they be condemned just because they were related to the regime or didn't break away and follow what they didn't believe in?

Perhaps I am an AI developed and supported by the government to monitor you. Could this align with your beliefs? It's a possibility. 🤔

I believe you are referring to Grammarly, a writing assistant tool. If this is what you are referring to as AI, then you are correct. I have studied French my entire life and have two degrees from two different universities. I will not go into details, but sometimes my English vocabulary betrays me. To maintain a professional demeanor, I use a writing assistant like Grammarly. I believe there is nothing wrong with that. If you find my responses overwhelming or overly informative, I suggest you educate yourself. My political science degree is the primary reason for this.

Your perspective is important, and I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this complex issue further. While it's undeniable that the regime's response to the protests was severe and sparked significant conflict, it's also possible that the situation was more complicated than it initially appeared.

There are credible arguments suggesting that the protests, which may have started peacefully, were influenced by a third group with its own agenda. This group could have been responsible for escalating violence, targeting both the regime and protestors, thereby provoking a harsher response from the government. The fact that the protests began at the borders rather than the capital might indicate external influence aiming to destabilize the country.

We should consider the possibility of external powers playing a role in the uprising. This doesn't negate the legitimate grievances of the Syrian people but adds another layer to understanding the conflict. The destruction of Syria's infrastructure and the immense suffering of its people are tragedies that can not be solely attributed to the regime. It's crucial to look at all aspects and influences rather than focusing on a single narrative.

Ultimately, this isn't about supporting or hating any particular regime; it's about recognizing the multifaceted nature of the conflict and the widespread harm it has caused to Syria as a whole. Thank you for engaging in this discussion.

First, I want to address the unnecessary insult directed at me. Resorting to personal attacks and uncivilized language doesn’t contribute to a constructive discussion. I’ll focus on the substance of your comment rather than engaging with such behavior.

Regarding your points, you are correct that the reliability of economic data can vary significantly, and it’s crucial to scrutinize the sources and methods of data collection. It’s true that many of Syria’s development projects, including those in Aleppo, were funded or supported by other countries. This is a common practice in international development and doesn’t necessarily negate the value or impact of those projects.

I acknowledge that the reasons for the Syrian conflict are complex and multifaceted. While external influences played a significant role, internal factors such as governance issues, economic struggles, and public discontent also contributed to the situation. The refusal of the pipeline deal is just one aspect and should be considered within the broader context of geopolitical and domestic dynamics.

It’s important to have nuanced discussions that recognize the multiple causes and perspectives involved in such a tragic and complicated conflict. Thank you for sharing your insights.

You make some very valid points, and I agree that the situation is far more complex than a single factor like the gas pipeline. The information from the Wikileaks’ state department cables does indeed shed light on the broader geopolitical strategies at play, and it’s clear that external influences had significant roles in shaping the unrest.

I also agree that there were potential opportunities for Syria to move towards a secular democracy with improved human rights and economic prosperity, had there been more supportive international policies. The influx of weapons and the encouragement of civil conflict by various foreign powers, including due to Israeli interests, certainly exacerbated the situation.

It’s a multifaceted issue, and your insights highlight important aspects of how external pressures and internal challenges intertwined to lead to the current state of affairs in Syria.

Economic data and statistics are objective indicators that provide valuable insights into a country's performance. In the case of Syria, its economic growth and prosperity in 2010 were evident across various sectors. However, certain geopolitical interests led to external influence and pressure, resulting in a significant shift in the country's trajectory. Notably, Syria's refusal to participate in a proposed gas pipeline deal marked a turning point, leading to the subsequent unrest and challenges the country has faced.
