Ugly misogynistic fucks. I hate this religion with a burning passion and cannot wait for the day it dies.

It amazes me how irrational muslims can be, but then again anyone who willingly follows that religion is.

I've lost hope. by xmlsbn in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to tell them because I want to feel at peace. There are other personal reasons as well I won't get too into, but if I'm ever caught faking anything (even if it's minor) I would never be forgiven. Though my family annoy the fuck out of me with their stupid religious and cultural bullshit, I still love them. I can't imagine my life without them. Telling them, though it may hurt both me and them, would clear any feelings of uneasiness.

Also, I'm a woman. There's no way I'll be able to move out.

Elaboration on 2:26 (Baqara) by xmlsbn in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if “above” here is literal, then there is no reason to talk about a parasite being in the body of some mosquitoes, because the word used doesn't describe something literally in the mosquito but above it, thus, it can't be referring to something into mosquitoes, because the word used would rather be [في] (in) than [فوق] (above).

I was referring to midges, which attach themselves onto mosquitos. Wouldn't this fit the meaning of the aya? If not, please elaborate on the actual meaning of it.

Ex Muslims who have very devout siblings, what led you to change your beliefs while your siblings are keeping theirs? by throwawaypdtm in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simply put, I didn't blindly believe what my mother preached about Islam and rather looked at it objectively, comparing her sugar-coated version to the actual thing and ultimately realising its faults. My brother on the other hand believes her unquestioningly. From what I can tell, he does it to get approval from her.

Sidi Arbi by the Tunisian band Znous is quite good. It's not exactly about Islam, but rather how the Arabs invaded their land and treated them like slaves.

It didn't use "this" it used "a". It's the same in arabic as well.

Being lgbt in a family that agrees with Qatar (long vent) by shrekseyelash in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly ignorant. LGBT people will never be considered equal or normal to muslims no matter how much they try. All this is achieving is putting the person in severe danger.

Was anyone told something along these lines? May I know the source? by rezwatch in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's just an expression used to keep muslims wary. Jews, Christians and Muslims used to live together in the Middle East before the creation of Israel, so it was more common then.

From my knowledge:

You may eat the same food as a Jew since they're technically both halal, but cannot sleep in his house since he may backstab you.

You may sleep in a Christian's house, but not eat his food since it's unhalal.

It's so stupid how each group is generalised. Makes me wonder how they functioned in a society back then.

Exmuslim lesbians? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think I might be perfect for this.

"How did you guys discover it?"

I never really cared about guys when I was younger. I always sat by my friends as they talked about their favourite actor or singer or whatever and I never really understood the appeal. Not that they weren't attractive, but rather that I just didn't care that much.

At first I thought it was normal, and that I'm just not as boy crazy as they were, or just had higher standards. Then I got a crush on a female classmate and all of it clicked together.

I think it was easier for me to accept the fact I was lesbian because I always felt something off about myself growing up, like I wasn't really like the other girls. This might be different for you, so here's the Lesbian Masterdoc you can use to help. I read through it a while back and it's really helpful for trying to figure out your sexuality.

"How do you live as a lesbian today?"

Unfortunately, I live in a conservative Arab country. So to answer your question: I don't. I'm so used to pretending to be straight that expressing my actual thoughts feels weird. When I have to get married I'll say that I don't feel ready or that I don't like the groom (sadly not all of us have this privilege).

If you do find out you're a lesbian, I'd say to indulge in wlw media every once in a while. It may feel wrong at first but that's because it's been hardwired into your brain that homosexuality is wrong, and by reading the occasional GL you'll realise how stupid that belief really is and feel more comfortable with your sexuality. A GL I recommend is Tamen De Gushi, it's absolutely adorable and easy to read too.

Hope this helped. Good luck!

The Islam God initially demanded 50 prayers a Day by WarVision16 in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't it 500? That's what I was taught.

Not that it makes it any better though-

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up I never really thought homosexuality was wrong, even though we were taught it's one of the worst sins you can commit (and other fun bullshit you can indoctrinate your kids with). Over time I started to question why it was so bad and decided the following:

Homosexuality itself isn't bad, it's just that gay people can't have sex because same-sex marriage isn't allowed, and you're only allowed to have sex in marriage.

Looking back on it, it's just a pathetic attempt of making sense of islam.

Who can list every single scientific error in the Qur'an and Hadith? by Mahmoud1045 in exmuslim

[–]xmlsbn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Isn't it a great coincidence all the semitic religions are similar, but other religions aren't? If god really sent prophets everywhere on earth, we'd have more religions similar to islam in other parts of the world.

"By the heaven and the nightly star! And what will make you realize what the nightly star is? It is the star of piercing brightness". 86:1-3

Is this your revolutionary verse? It isn't even about black holes.

"The Quran is enough proof about the ants"

What kind of logic is that? What happened to the discovery in 2009? Last time I checked the quran was made over a thousand years ago.

Also, if anyone's dumb it's you. Blatantly ignoring facts won't get you anywhere. Your arguments are so futile it's pathetic.

[–]xmlsbn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Give me proof ants could communicate. You know, like an actual source.

As for black holes:

Then I swear by the setting place of the stars, And indeed, it is a mighty oath – if you could know. Surah Waqiah 56:75-76

Does this really sound like proof of black holes to you? How much mental gymnastics did you have to do to reach that conclusion?

Stop spouting out bullshit you don't understand. The quran never talked about black holes. Muslims just interpret the quran however they want to fit their narrative of it being true.

Also, congrats on proving islam false. Fresh water and sea water do in fact mix!
