There are some hilarious hadith.

Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

A note from the author:

“This book is dedicated to everyone who has been told they are not the right kind of Muslim, to all those who have been told they are not Muslim enough, to anyone questioning and needing the space, to ex-Muslims whose history is delicately intertwined with their lives. To Ahmedis, to Shias, to Ismailis. May we raise kids with more tolerance than the current generation.”

Wow! What an excellent book - and the author's note (above) took my breath away! Goodness me, things are actually changing. What with that article the other day saying we should stop treating the Qur'an as infallible.

There is the light of hope yet for Muslims in the darkness that seems to be all around.

Abs: thank you for saying such lovely things. That means a lot, particularly coming from someone as bright as you

Lily: where do I start? I have no idea. But I'll start by saying that book is ace. And if I was to do this, that would be a very useful resource. I'm so glad you found it

Yeah, that book is ace. But not half as ace as you. And I'm going to deliberately leave my compliments to that, because you are such an incredibly rare individual, that you can even out-flank and out-flirt me. No one does that. Honestly. I am king at these games... But it seems I have met my match, because I was literally lost for words... So, I'll leave it at that, before I ignite something lethal.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

Attention to personal hygiene, that's usually a good thing.

Ok once you remove the oppression, suppression, mind control, slavery, rape, genocide, colonisation, imposing bizarre alien rule over others etc hygiene's can only be a good thing.

DTttttttttttt................. lol.. personal hygiene?

yes but you can not make it as ritual go on cleaning nose 5 times day because satan is in the nose religion need not teach that nonsense.. Clean yourself is not new for those who lived before Islam..

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything
I renounced my faith to become a kafir,
the beloved betrayed me and turned in to a Muslim
