BEFORE YOU GUYS START A WAR. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT!!!!

(and Sorry for using the expression “unalive,” but this is important and I need you to read this! And I don't want it to be taken down, so sorry) Recently I found out about the founder of Save a Fox unalived (an organization that saves animals I think) unalived herself. And I told my mom, and what she said was: “Well, she shouldn't have done that” She said that unaliving yourself in a deadly sin.

But I believe she's just wrong, I don't believe god would eternally torture you because for me that would be like giving a victim of SA a life sentence. For some reason, it looks like many Christians believe people unalive themselves because of some dumb trend or something, when in reality Unalimentation is connected to things like depression, and depression is caused by things like: bullying. Witsh the save a Fox founder’s husband said that her wife was dealing with a lot of cyberbullying. People like her just needed help, but unfortunately, they didn't get it on time. That’s why I say that god punishing people that unalived themselves is like giving a victim of AS a life sentence. Those people are victims, they just needed help, and instead of giving them the help that they need, we are here just pressuring them not to unalive themselves. Witsh in fact is just making people unaliving themselves even more!

We need to understand that people don't unalive themselves because they believe it is funny or something, but because they are having a very hard time and then their brain just starts asking to end it all. And no, you just can't brush that thought. Trying not to have unaluvement thoughts is fighting your own brain, and fighting your own brain is like saying to a bird not to fly. And it doesn't matter if you say that unalaving in a sin. That is just saying to a bird not to fly because if they do you would shoot them. The same way they won't listen to you and just fly regardless of the consequences, your brain is going to have unalivement thoughts until or you end it all. Or you go get some help.

And the expression of: life is a gift from god just sounds stupid and a dumb way to justify those beliefs. In the same way some gifts can be terrible so as life. And instead of you trying to help that person fix their gift you’re just telling them that you get what you get and you can’t throw it away. Otherwise, there will be consequences.

And now talking about God handling unalivement. If god can see you so he would be able to see your sadness. And if God is all-powerful so he would be able to feel what you feel. Then having a lot of sympathy for you. So if god can see and feel you and your sadness and still choose to send you for internal torture that just would make God a horrible God. And then we get another big problem I have with a lot of other Christians. How they make God look like some sort of horrible being that has no mercy.

A good example if this is back when the wildfires were happening in California., how a lot of them say that the wildfires were a punishment by God. And at the same time, they say that God is love. But in the same way I can’t unalive 75 people and say I'm a good person so can’t god. Seriously whole forest where being destroyed. People were losing their homes and lives. And they were just making that horrible event as a deserved punishment. All of that just because some dumb dudes compared god to some guys. And for me, they are making god look like someone who can’t ignore dumb people and unalives everyone around to scare people off. Witsh that isn’t a lovely God, that is basically a tyrant.

That's why I don't believe that god made the wildfires, condemns unalivement, homosexuality, people from other faiths, or that who don’t believe in him. Or even hell to begin with. Because God is a god of love, not some monster that wants power, control, and attention.

That was my opinion, Thank you for the time. And sorry if something doesn't add up or there are a lot of misspells I'm a little tired of writing this and English is not my first language. Also, I'm better at speaking than writing. Also sorry if some information is wrong. But what I just want to say is that I don't believe god punishes people who unalived themslefs because it’s not their fault they were going through a difficult time.

 

That's a phrase that I heard recently, and I think that it's from some famous philosopher, but uhm...

I don't know how to debunk it.

I'm doing my best to believe without thinking too much about that.

Some days it gets hard tho, so I'd like to hear you guys' take on it.

 

Title kind of says it all, but I sometimes don’t get why he couldn’t have forgiven humanity.

I get time and time again he has but we didn’t listen, but I find it kind of hard to understand how an all loving God is able to give up his son.

I still love God ofc but this kind of confuses me.

Any thoughts?

 

Let me say that I'm not opposed to consensual adult sex work, at least in a secular sense, I don't believe that it should be illegal for the seller or even buyer (although Swaggert was never charged, also legally the correct decision as the evidence to meet the standard of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt was not there.)

But in Swaggert's case it makes him a rather blatant hypocrite not to mention clear sinner considering he was married.

What makes it even worse was his tearful apology video in 1988 only for him to get caught with another prostitute just three years later and showing the whole thing was likely an act.

But that's far from the worst that he did. Aside from his general promotion of hate in the 80s he engaged in fundraising for the Mozambique rebel group RENAMO, RENAMO was fighting to topple the Marxist government of Mozambique but engaged in such brutality and atrocities that even the US government opted not to back them.

And thus Swaggert opted to engage in fundraising for them and used a lot of his ministry funds to provide support.

Not much different from what funding ISIS or the Lord's Resistance Army would be.

Definitely his greatest crime and one he doesn't get enough attention for.

So he's with God now...I can only imagine what's being said. I am also trying not to rejoice in anyone's death.

 

This could be anything for me is.

Jesus, why people considered him as god, who was on cross and what happened in resurrection?

What happened in 9/11?

Who was real terrorism and evil in this life according to Allah?

Why some Muslims countries have always problems like war, natural disasters and provoty in Africa.

My personal life.

 

FOR THE LOVE OF ALLAH Almighty, I’m tired of hearing it! Especially since it mostly comes from non-Muslims and uneducated, ignorant muslims.

Just the other day I came across a video about Nigerian Muslims celebrating the “Ojude Oba” festival (celebrated by the Yoruba people 3 days after Eid al-Adha) in their traditional clothing and music, and in the comments were mostly non-Muslims confused as to why it didn’t seem “Arab” enough.

“O mankind! We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.” (49:13)

“And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. Surely in this are signs for those who know.” (30:22)

The Prophet (SAW) used to wear Yemeni cloaks, Roman armor, Egyptian shawls, Persian garments, etc.

When he saw the Ethiopians playing with drums and spears outside the mosque, he held the chin of Aisha (RA) and said “let the Jews know there is leniency in our religion.” (Musnad Ahmad 24854)

We need to push against this narrative that western media propagates which is that Islam is tied to Arab culture. It does so much unimaginable harm. Islam was not just for the Arabs, but for all of mankind. A lot of people in my country are also leaving Islam because they view it as an imperialistic, Arab supremacist religion. Racism against Arabs is increasing so much in my country because of this, it’s sad.

Alhamdulillah however, all around the Muslim world there is diversity. Cultures and traditions have been long preserved since Islam came across countries in Central Asia, west Africa, Southeast Asia, china, east Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, etc.

Let’s keep it like that, how it’s been for centuries.

P.S: When I mean “Arab culture” I mean Saudi Arabian and Emirati culture. I’m aware Yemeni, Omani, Kuwaiti cultures are all vastly different from one another and such.

 

I've been reflecting on verses in the Qur'an that seem tied to 7th-century Arabian society, like the one in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:282) where the testimony of two women is equated to one man in financial contracts.

Some scholars argue this was due to the context of the time—when women generally had less exposure to financial matters—not because women are inherently less reliable.


My question is: Can we understand verses like these as context-specific applications of broader, timeless values—like justice, fairness, and protection of rights—rather than fixed rules for all times?

 

As the title suggests, if you come across islamaphobia on the internet or in person, how do you respond to it?

Do you clap back at them, or just ignore them?

I honestly get disheartened everytime I see islamaphobia on the internet.

I know most are trolls who do it for engagement, while others are bots.

There's also been a study that showed negative news can shorten your lifespan 😭.

And I've also noticed reddit is the worst one, everyone outside of the Muslim subreddits are really racist and islamaphobic, it's so tiring to see.

 

Are the disbelievers going to hellfire forever, and if so, wouldn’t this contradict Allah being All-Merciful?
