This is a short post. I noticed that the west likes to use the term ‘radical Islam’ when talking about splintered militant Muslims. I find it somewhat intriguing that they would use that term, because it’s misleading. When you consider the pedophilia, murder, violence and narcissism in Islam, those militants are just more compliant Muslims than the so called ‘moderates.’

Remember, radical Islam is just Islam.

What are your thoughts, dear apostates?

I always say that Islam affects all Arabs or everyone who is from a majority Muslim country. Mia Khalifa is a half Lebanese/half white Christian & she’s very hated by the Muslim community. “Oh she did porn in hijab” okay so have a bunch of other women? Who also most likely comes from a Christian background. So why does she get singled out? Is it because she’s Arab or is it because she’s from a country with a huge Muslim population? Why is she held to a different standard than a full white woman who’s done porn wearing hijab? There are Arab Muslim men like Gattouz who aren’t hiding the fact that he’s Muslim, he’s out here doing porn and no one has shamed him, no where near as much as Mia Khalifa. If anything, he’s praised and no one shames him at all. I also guarantee you the day when he decides to stop doing porn and “repents” everyone will be like “don’t mention his sins, he’s trying to be better and he came back to Islam”.

We could argue that she was the first well arab known pornstar to go viral, sure. But why is she in particular still ostracized? I’m not sure if she’s done anything else that was cancel worthy, I don’t really keep up with her. Is it because she’s a woman, an Arab woman? Why do we carry the burden of representing Islam, even the ones who aren’t even Muslim to begin with?

There are a lot worse things someone could do outside of porn. Hell, we have Muslim men in the Epstein files. The Muslim community is such a joke because Mia Khalifa is more known for her “shameful” acts than literal pedos. I wanted to let my thoughts about this out. I don’t like the porn industry btw, I’m just pointing out how misogynistic the community is and how Islam affects us all in different ways. I have more I wanna discuss but i’m getting sleepy writing this. Might add some more to this thought later.

Yes we know Islam is bad religion full of lies, Christianity is no better, they have a bunch of verses that are equivalent to the Quran.

Let Ex-Muslims heal, and find themselves as humans beings.

Context verses = to the Quran

Leviticus 25:44-45 ESV As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them.

Exodus 21:20-21 ESV “When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money."

1 Peter 2:18 ESV Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust.

Titus 2:9-10 ESV Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

Exodus 21:26-27 ESV “When a man strikes the eye of his slave, male or female, and destroys it, he shall let the slave go free because of his eye. If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let the slave go free because of his tooth.

1 Timothy 6:1-2 ESV Let all who are under a yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things.

Deuteronomy 23:15 ESV “You shall not give up to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you"

Luke 12:47-48 ESV "And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more."

Exodus 21:7-11 ESV “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her. If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money."

Exodus 21:4 ESV "If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone."

Deuteronomy 21:10-14 ESV “When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. But if you no longer delight in her, you shall let her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you treat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her."

Leviticus 25:46 ESV "You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly." Exodus 21:6 ESV "Then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever."

so its my birthday today right? my family (hard core muslims, tho they know im not a muslim anymore, and no they werent accepting right away and it took child services for them to be decently cool with me not being a muslim), were gonna order food today cus its my birthday, I asked my mom if we can order a mcflurry and she was like 'yes, go ask your siblings if they want it too' and i did, but of course one of my siblings is my older brother who is like, extremely extremely hardcore muslim, he said no he doesnt want it and I was like okay cool, and as I was ordering my mcflurry this giant pile of shit comes down the stairs and goes like 'youre supporting the israel army by buying that by the way' and my mom told me 'oh right, dont order it anymore', like i eventually got dairy queens, and yes I know this isnt a big deal, but its still frustrating that this asshole has a stick so far up his ass that he's willing to pull this shit on my birthday

19M I live in a highly religious muslim community and i hate every second of it although i can tolerate my family but whenever i talk to my friends and express my opinions like "girls should be free and allowed to do jobs" they preach me about all sorts of Islamic bullsh*t.

Similarly my cousin brother has helped me a lot and we are pretty close but when i think about my future i see nothing cause majority of people i know are going to hate me for leaving Islam.

And i don't think i can deal with the loneliness that comes after...Any advice how to tackle through it ?

Hey everyone,

Throwaway account because I’m terrified of anyone I know finding this.

I’m 28, still living at home, and i intellecually left islam some time ago. I see the religion for exactly what it is — the violent, disturbing stories about the Prophet, the control, everything. I don’t believe anymore, but no one in my life knows. At home I’m still the perfect Muslim daughter.

My mum watches my every move. She forces me to pray, to fast, and I’m not allowed to leave the house without hijab and full covering. If I wear anything even slightly normal, I’m immediately called a whore. I’m not allowed out in the evenings at all — even though I’m a grown woman. I obey because I’m scared shitless of what will happen if they ever find out I’ve been lying.

A few months ago I met a Dutch guy. He’s kind, respectful, and for the first time I feel like someone actually sees me as a person, not just as future wife material for a Muslim man. When I sneak out to meet him I take my hijab off. The second I get home I put it back on. Every single time it makes me feel disgusting.

But here’s the part that’s breaking me: he’s scared to be with me. He’s genuinely worried about what my family is capable of doing if they find out. He thinks they’ll see him as the problem and might even turn to violence. He’s afraid he’ll piss off a lot of Muslims and they might come after him. Everyone he asks for advice tells him the same thing: “Get out as fast as you can, this is dangerous.”

My parents (and siblings) keep pushing Muslim marriage candidates on me. They don’t care about my studies, my future, or what I want to do with my life — they only care that I marry a Muslim. I smile and stay quiet because I’m too scared to say I don’t want a Muslim husband. I don’t want any of this.

I love my parents. They’re not evil people. They genuinely love me. But their moral compass is completely destroyed by the religion. They think they’re protecting me. I’m terrified that if I tell them I’m no longer Muslim they’ll scream at me, cry, manipulate me, guilt-trip me, pray over me — do anything to “save their little girl from hell.”

I want out. I want to be able to have a normal relationship without hiding. I want to be able to go outside after dark like any other adult. I want to stop living this double life. But I also don’t want to lose my family forever — and now I’m scared I’ll lose him too because the situation is too dangerous for him.

Has anyone here been through something similar? How did you tell your parents (or did you never tell them)? How did you move out without it exploding? Any practical advice on safety, finances, or emotional survival would mean the world to me right now. I feel so stuck and so exhausted from the constant lying.

Thank you for reading. I read every single comment.

prostitution is forbidden in Islam but Muhammad receives a revelation that you can temporarily marriage a woman that you desire and after having sex you can divorce them.
