Which is not to say that that's a bad thing at all. The users of this subreddit are very rigorous in their beliefs and strict to the sunnah and the Quran.
Yet this subreddit doesn't seem representative of most Muslims I meet and I wonder why that is. I'm a 19 year old (pretty devout) Muslim guy in uni and I've rarely across some of the polarized rhetoric in real life that I see in here.
It's like there is no nuance and no ikhtilaf in certain situations, and anyone who deviates even slightly from the norm is labelled a shia or a heretic. There is fallacious reasoning rampant and a level of close minded conservatism that boggles me. I have even seen racist and 'us vs them' sentiments here in regards to the west.
I dont pretend to claim whether any of this is right or wrong. I'm just curious why this community feels so detached from regular muslim society in the west. Is it a weakening of faith? No idea.
