So this caught my eye, it was quoted from Ummah in another thread:
Another thing they love to do is spend most of their time talking about Islam and Muslims, they can’t seem to move on – I wonder why (lolls)
So I just want to make certain things clear, hopefully devout and pious Muslims someday can read this and understand. This is for you, guys!
It bothers me that someone can be so stupid and have a such a fixed mindset that he or she can't look further than to his nose. So as a defense-mechanism, since ex-Muslims and murtads are one of the greatest "iman-destroyers" for Muslims that there is (and it was so during Mo's time, "wonder why"
), Muslims focus on why we still discuss Islam. "Oh, it must be because we deep down know it's true but we just wanna have fun". Such stupidity and lack of rational and critical thinking baffles me, every time. So here it is, I am going to explain the need for me to still discuss Islam and my former Muslim life.
Islam took the best years of my life. I wasted the first half of my youth on lies, deceit and outright misogyny that I tried to defend in order to not perish in my own cognitive dissonance. Not only does Islam still contribute to tremendously negative consequences in my life, but I see other people succumb to it's horror because of ignorance. I see other people who are in my position and hopefully they won't waste as many years as I did on a LIE. I want to show Islam for what it really is. Not some dawah propaganda filled with half-lies and twists and turns in order to "enhance" and make Islam better than it is.
And this is me, a convert. The situation for many "born Muslims" is even worse where they face constant persecution by Islam and its doctrines because of "devout Muslims" such as those on Ummah.
The need to discuss is because there are other people out there having doubts or who do not have "real knowledge" (irony) about Islam, thus this forum provides a place where certain things can be discussed in an honest and critical manner. Where "allah knows best" and "don't ask to many questions" are not the only two answers provided when "tough" questions arises. If Islam is "true", then it can handle criticism, don't you think
New and old members come and go everyday. Some of us have a need to work through and process Islam and its ramifications for months, years or perhaps never be able to do so fully. Islam is a cult and a sect, and the sooner this is shown to the public the better.
Rant (temporarily) over.
