btw by page 3 this thread will be deleted, in case it hurts anyone

No. I grew up around a lot of muslim people and they've always been nice to me.

nope. i stopped going to church years ago

but went once last year because i was invited

the west did them dirty

It all depends. Obviously it is terrible what is going on in some of their countries and even more so in China. As for the people here there is just some things I cant really tolerate cause their behavior just conflict with my believes.

For example a girl in my class was engaged in 8th grade and wanted to have instagram. Her family only allowed it when her account was supervised by her future husband. She got married the moment she turned 18 and was legally allowed to do so. That is women’s rights for yall

Even as a child prior to me learning why general bigotry is bad I never bought into all that homophobia/xenophobia s*** they push heavily in the south because I just never saw any justifiable reason for it

Why do you think kanye said that when he moved to china for a few years it changed his whole perspective on the world

I’m a Muslim so I guess that’s a no

Interesting! Same here. Was it weird going back to church a year ago, did it make you uncomfortable at all or was it pretty chill?

One time a girl tricked me into going to church with her & her parents on a Sunday, should’ve known when she asked me to dress nice that morning

Nobody is afraid of gay people they just like to make fun of them because it makes them feel better about themselves

western people are literally going extinct, so much for teaching people about family values

No need for that, discussion is good

ya'll whites have hurt the muslim community enough, let them live.

Thread has nothing to do with gay people, make another thread

alright since you're from that community, I'll let it roll.

but as soon as another muslim asks for deletion or thread gets toxic, thread is done

Never

Islamophobia is definitely widespread in the US tho. Since I’m black no one can really tell I’m a Muslim until I tell them, but other Muslims I know have gone through it in this country.

nah

Blame her parents for this, not the Quran. Nowhere in the Quran is something like this taught or required.

this is a result of her parents weirdly overt traditionalism/conservatism, not any islamic teachings

back when i was teaching one of my students invited me and it’s a japanese church so i just wanted to see it plus they promised food...

honestly, it was a really nice experience so warm but some of them were a bit too christian...creationist levels lel that’s the only part i felt uncomfortable about but yeah it was chill

doing bible studies I learnt, the bible and the quran are extremely similar actually.
you can cherrypick verses from the old testament as well, that wouldn't fly by modern western moral standards.

Yeah the two books are very similar. Muslims believe the Bible used to be the word of God at some point but it got corrupted by humans, and that the Quran is the final word of God that will never be changed or corrupted, which is true so far.

I’m not an islamophobe but I don’t agree with a lot of the extremists that oppress & subject women to torture

I’m not sure if that has anything to do with the religion of Islam or conservative culture in the Middle East

No
