i am muslim. i believe in allah and the prophet. but i hate this community. rampant with ignorance, bigotry, sexism, hatred, so on and so on. i don’t blame non-muslims for judging us sometimes... so much of the muslim community is so infuriatingly sexist. we only talk about women when we (a) want to force them to dress a certain way (look how much hate dina torkia got for taking of her hijab) or (b) want to discuss their purpose in the lives of men. and oh, the homophobia. yes, i said it. just because we disapprove of homosexuality doesn’t mean we have to be horrible to gay people. the quran doesn’t ever say that being gay is a choice. just that gay people shouldn’t act on those desires. i’m a bisexual muslim - i don’t act on my homosexual desires, but i have tons of them. when my parents found out (by looking through my phone and invading my privacy) i was so intensely emotionally abused that i developed many mental illnesses and had to go to therapy. i take two medications because otherwise all of my trauma prohibits my functioning. then people tell me i have depression, anxiety, and adhd because i’m not “close enough to god” even though i’m very religious and i love allah. i’ve been heavily involved in local muslim communities. it is all judgement about how someone is wearing their hijab, how someone lives their life, etc. all of this makes me want to stop being muslim. even though i believe in allah and the prophet, the community makes me feel like an outcast for not being the perfect obedient muslim girl and chips away at my faith. and this has happened to many people i know. i know people who went crazier than i did because of this community. i even know a girl who was so put down by her parents and the community (her parents didn’t let her access the internet or read books) that she went crazy, shaved her head and joined a satanic cult. and i know several other cases of this kind.
i swear, athiests are kinder than us. all of my athiest friends are polite and considerate. when ATHIESTS are more hospitable than us, we’re doing something wrong.
please don’t come at me with a wall of religious text.
