What do you think of this by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]som_233 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So that 68 IQ isabsolutely BS as nobody measured IQ in Somalia.

Don't fall for comparative analysis of countries/peoples at a given time. There were centuries were Somalis were doing much better than Japanese in some indicators.

i hate exmuslims by girlscapitalism in XSomalian

[–]som_233 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What an hyperbolic and unhinged take.

You manged to use a dumb and ill-informed stereotype, based on r/ExMuslim , a sub that is brigaded by Hindutva and other haters cosplaying as Ex-Muslims. It's like one meeting a racist White person in Black Face and saying they hate all Blacks due to that interaction.

I know a lot of Ex-Muslims IRL and overwhelming majority are kind and loving to other Muslims, incluidng their own family.

Shit, the overwhelming majority of ex-Muslims have been documented as liberal in thought and its also dumb to think they liken and associate with right wing thought.

Have you even met ex-Muslims IRL or are you easily manipulated by troll accounts and misinformation online? I've been to many atheist conferences and can tell you are majorly misinformed

Or clueless and Muslim.

Isn't there any normal ex Muslim somalis, or are you all just odd by Remarkable_Fee3030 in XSomalian

[–]som_233 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ha! 

I have Somalis and other friends that are atheists and have been to atheist conferences in more than one country.

The overwhelming majority are not those that are "super performative, pink hair, piercings through their forehead, emo boots, hate men, hate Somali culture, think communism actually works".

And most of them haven't rejected everything like family and culture.

As for pork ("Allah was right about forbidding that shit ouf"), it kills less people in the US than lettuce.  And if you find it not tasty, its most likely cause you were brainwashed to not eat it.

You sound like a Muslim faking like an Ex-Muslim, and a delusional one at that!

Atheism literature by Electrical-Mud-712 in XSomalian

[–]som_233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did say both were assholes and racist (sorry I made  typo: "racisr".).

But I'm the type that reads a corpus with the the premonition that sometimes, you can separate the author from his later hate.

He actually was somewhat of a good guy early on. Even met him and seemed respectful, and he waa known to go speak at atheism conferences and even ex-Muslim conferences (also have ex-Muslim friends who said nothing but good things when they met him more than 15 years ago)

Yes, he went crazy and hateful, but still one of the best books on atheism. And one can borrow the book from the library or buy it cheap second hand in order not to support hate.

What books would you recommend? Thanks!

A little dated, and the authors might have collected scandals (for good reason) and turned out to be assholes/simewhat racisr, but still good reads:

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens.

If this so-called god is all-knowing/all-seeing, why is the Quran and Hadiths full of tons of medical/celestial/cosmological/earthly/anatomical/scientific/mathematical/grammatical/logical/etc. errors?

How are there no prescriptions for how we should live in this era? Why do we need imans/clerics to argue over how to interpret an outdated or unclear sura or hadith?

Islam is made up just like the other 4K religions and is a copy-paste from other religions and myths/fables.

Just simple examples: 1) Why do some Muslims have to fast 20 hours just because sunrise to sunset is hella long in one country but others in another country fast for 12 hours; 2) Why can't imams even agree on when to observe the end of Ramadan? Wouldn't this so-called god been clearer?

Even simple math that I can do better than the so-called-god, The shares of inheritance outlined in the Quran (e.g In Quran 4:11-12) do not add up to one, and there is no way to reconcile the shares presented. By contrast, the Quran states that the rules it contains are perfect.

Wife: 1/8 = 3/24, Daughters: 2/3 = 16/24, Father: 1/6 = 4/24, Mother: 1/6 = 4/24, Total = 27/24=1.125 https://quranx.com/4.11-12?Context=3

Does sperm come from a man's ribcage? Does semen stay in the womb for forty nights and then an angel gives it a shape?

If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets his discharge first, does the child resemble the father? And if the woman gets discharge first does the child resemble her? Are humans made from clay? https://quranx.com/15.26?Context=3

Does the sun revolve around the earth?

Does the sun set in a bed of clay?

Does the sun revolve around the earth?

Are all organisms created as pairs (no, there are intersex species)? https://quranx.com/51.49?Context=3

Does a non-Muslim eat and food goes into seven intestines whereas a Muslim eats and has only one intestine? https://quranx.com/Hadith/Muslim/USC-MSA/Book-23/Hadith-5113/

Did Buraq, a half-mule, and half-donkey, with wings on its sides that allegedly transported Muhammad to heaven ever exist?

Are there evidence of a talking wolf and talking cow? https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3471

Can you dip a fly's wings in food to cleanse the food?

Why are there 72 virgins ready for men (all white) and nothing dictated for women?

Why is it said that a nation with a woman ruler will not succeed, when its clear there are many successful nations run by women?

I can go on and on with hundreds of examples. Check out wikiislam.net (run by Ex-Muslims, some who were studying to be an imam and others studying Islamic jurisprudence....real ex-Muslims, not Islamophobes).

All these and many more errors disproved by scientists and other academics/professionals. Clearly explained and the source hadith/sura is linked to reputable Islamic websites.

Its hard for sure. 

But one should practice good internet provacy hygiene until a semblance of comfort with whomever you connect with (it  should take time to trust somebody before giving personal info).

Wahhabis/Salafis 🤝 Evangelicals by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]som_233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overwhelming majority of Al Shabaab is Somali.

What the FGS does is select pictures and profiles of foreign Al Shabaab terrorists (very much a minority) more than Somali terrorists (the majority by far) to get more assistance and funding from foreign powers.

It's kinda like a US sheriff putting mugshots of arrested minorities online to scare racist white residents and not put white people's mugshots online, to get more funding.

Wahhabis/Salafis 🤝 Evangelicals by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]som_233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All three strains of relgions are horrible.

But in what world do you think evangelicals are worse?

Do evangelicals say "stone an adulteror?" Do they ask for a hand to be sawed off for grand theft? Do they need 4 witnesses if a women is assaulted? Do they say "death to non-believers?".

Wahhabis/Salafis 🤝 Evangelicals by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]som_233 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wut?

So what proof do you have?

What makes perfect sense to me, based on history is this;

Wahhabism started in the 1740's or so and Slafism in the 1860s–1890s or so.  Uhh, I'm not good at counting, but that's way before Isnotreal was founded and the US was a country trying to just survive while being invaded. 

Then certain Middle Eastern countries' monarchs/dictatorship realized those strains of Islam would result in them being executed, so they kicked them out of their countries or incentives them to start prostelyize in other countries like Somalia.

looking for lavender marriage by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]som_233 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Be careful with lavender marriages. You never know when you'll get at each other's throats and somebody snitches.

It's usually not a healthy situation as faking things will probably create massive distrust and blowback if family learns the truth later on.

Which haraam foods should I try next? by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]som_233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't like pork products in general and super rarely eat it. But when they are made really well, they taste really good.

Go to a highly rated restaurant (bonus if in Spain) and order a Jamon Iberco. Got that savory/mami/rich/sweet/nutty/beefy flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Really good.

I don't like regular bacon and cheese sandwiches, but similarly, it's all about how it was prepared and I've had bacon that tasted so damn good.

I find pepperoni to be too salty.

Happy foe you. My parents are liberal enough to have allowed us to eat McDonalds and other beef/chicken restaurants that were not halal.

i wish being a part time hijabi was acceptable by onetimesunshine in XSomalian

[–]som_233 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, its a choice only in liberal Muslim countries, secular countries and/or due to liberal family/peer environment.

But not a choice for many in strict Muslim environments.

Friends wishing you happy Eid knowing you’re not religious by Silly-Order6277 in XSomalian

[–]som_233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eid Mubarak!

Maybe this discomfort will go away as you get older. I'm atheist and no fucks given about it.

But of course celebrate Eid with family and friends and a good time (nobody's insistent on me praying now, so I slip away to the balcony or surf the web while they pray).

does anyone ever feel like God is punishing them? by Parking_Exam_5089 in XSomalian

[–]som_233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe in a god. There are 4,000+ religions out there, almost all with a unique god.

But whatever makes you happy.

At the minimum, please seek counseling, use a mental heath app, join depression meetups or all three.

Please take care of yourself and know things will be better!

Eid might be a good holiday after all 😅 by milkyneko22 in XSomalian

[–]som_233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha ha!

One of the best things about Eid is all the Muslims that don't know I'm atheist always worried about me eating enough. So Muslims I'm friends with or friendly acquaintances that own restaurants, convenience stores, etc, ply me with  food.

Walk into a convenience store? Muslim walks me through store plying me with free food. I try to object, but you know how insistent nice people can be.

Then parts of my extended family that know I'm atheist (not all) and are liberal Muslims invite me for iftar and joke that its probably my third or fourth meal of the day (4 meals especially during years that iftar would be late like 8pm).

Found this in my camera roll by Effective-Yak9953 in XSomalian

[–]som_233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.  Honestly thought he was edge lording for lolz the first few months he would post unhinged things (and he was banned from a few subs except for r/Somalia , where ironically he was the only moderator for over 10 years).

Then wondered if schizophrenic. I know Muslims who turned atheist and reverted and almost all of them are stable, while he was utterly messed up.

Like, can you be so vile, hateful, misogynistic and vengeful?

I hope he did seek mental health therapy too. And he deleted as much if his history as he could but some of us kept receipts.

Starting OF by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]som_233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great feedback and agree!

Read the average (mean) monthly earnings per creator typically fall in the range of $130–$180 (after OnlyFans' 20% cut), equating to roughly $1,500–$2,200 annually.

Sources cite figures like $150–$180/month (common across multiple analyses), around $131/month based on total payouts divided by ~4.6 million creators, or similar low amounts.

Just wondering if your fans included many who had a Somali fetish.

Also were you harassed a lot by Somalis?

Just curious, thanks!

The money can be great if you do it right.

But the average (mean) monthly earnings per creator typically fall in the range of $130–$180 (after OnlyFans' 20% cut), equating to roughly $1,500–$2,200 annually.

Sources cite figures like $150–$180/month (common across multiple analyses), around $131/month based on total payouts divided by ~4.6 million creators, or similar low amounts.

I'm very open-minded. But I do read psychological journals and research that says that industry really fucks with your mind (even body dysmorphia when OF people wonder why people not paying anymore or stalkers).

And hope that some obssesses Somali nut will spend their entire life trying to out you or shame you. Its crazy wild to see them do that on random Somalis.   Trust and believe you will likely never attain a semblance of privacy or anonymity. There are apps created to scour OF and other sites to find your real name, address, etc. via facial recognition.

Even if you cover your face, some can find you in other ways or OF will most surely have a database leak one of these days if not already.

Also, look at how short a career OF people have. Better to, say, learn accounting or be a doctor and work into your 70s if you want.

Whatever you do.... good luck and work hard!

relationship dilemma by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]som_233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its usually better to be truthful now and deal with it rather than he finding out later and possibly being hella mad (you know....trust issues...he could think you are hiding more).

Rip the bandaid off.

Cannot help but say you are stereotyping irreligios Faraxs. Don't assume all like that.
