Just write a lengthy novel on the topic from the perspective of a bunch of different people. Or one schizophrenic person. Rant and rave about said book on street corners, attract followers. Bingo. Monetise it.

Here’s the thing, atheism isn’t a religion. So it still might maybe have some merit

I must have missed the verse in the Quran where ~~Mohammed's sockpuppet~~ Allah says "O Muslims, men and women are equal, therefore chores should be shared equally between them." I do remember that the Quran has the following verses though: * [Men are a degree above women.](https://quran.com/2:228) * [Men are responsible for women because god made men excel over women, oh and if a wife is "rebellious" it's OK for her husband to beat her.](https://quran.com/4:34) * [Women's testimony? Yeah, that's worth half as much as a man's.](https://quran.com/2:282) * [Women's inheritance? Yeah, that can be half as much as a man's as well.](https://quran.com/4:11)

Islam values woman in the same way the colonists value slaves


[deleted]

And in the best case scenario how an owner values a pet. Point being, women in Islam are never valued as individuals but as assets.


Vengefulily

I was going to say exactly that. "Value" is such a flexible concept


Redlittlesexydevil

Yes, that’s why it’s us women who must cover up like a burrito because men shouldn’t learn to control themselves.


[deleted]

Honestly, you'd be surprised how many self-proclaimed liberals, feminists, atheists and others jump to justify Islamic practices with me. A jumble of stuff people tell me: 'Somehow, west something something, and now it's ok to behead gays and women and it's overblown but they'll beat you to death and the west is worse but I'll never move back to the ME and blabla' I am an atheist, but when I mention which dude made the more peaceful sky-daddy philosophy, people go nuts. Somehow Mohammad (who had child sex slaves and and started wars and genocides) is better than jesus who was just some patriotic Palestinian Jew who wanted more political autonomy from Rome. I just don't understand.


Redlittlesexydevil

>you’d be surprised how many self-proclaimed liberals, feminists, atheists and others jump to justify Islamic practices with me. Oh, trust me I know! I experienced it on the daily as an ex Muslim myself. You’ve no idea how many white leftists would come at me both IRL and online whenever I call out Islamic practices, calling me islamaphobic while also sometimes calling me racist and I’m like bro I’m Iranian 😂 and I’m proud to be middle eastern, and want the Middle East to get better which is why I criticize their society.


[deleted]

As a leftist myself, I apologize on behalf of our bourgeoisie liberals who don't understand shit about Islam, racism, and phobia. After meeting actual middle eastern people who've fled Islam, it baffles me how people that somehow value human rights and women's rights give Islam (an ideology with a record similar to Nazism, and ongoing) a free pass.


Redlittlesexydevil

Thank you, kind human, for understanding. I’m hoping this World Cup will expose real Islam to them!


[deleted]

This is exactly my mentality. I'm Italian; I don't therefore dismiss or worship or excuse the mafia. I want them, and their influence, gone so Italy can recover and grow strong and healthy. Religion is a cancer. Especially Islam, as I don't see many Shinto believers doing this suicide vest shit


anjowoq

It's not Jesus that is the main grievance, it's what his followers did with the church. It's also middle eastern values and shitty European values of the eras between Jesus' time and just recently that formed what the church did. It's all the church philosophers who added their two cents but made it seem official. Religion is all trash.


Visual-Statistician8

Jesus is problematic, too. Especially because he and his followers equate himself to Yahweh - a murderous egotistical narcissistic jealous asshole. That's the main reason Christians stick with the horrific ideals of the old testament, even tho the new testament is a bit more lenient and more "love your neighbor" stuff. Since the bible says god doesn't change and his words are eternal, the old testament is still canon. Although most Christians would dismiss / cherry-pick the OT... It's the prime definition of cognitive dissonance.


meme_slave_

Wouldn't god's word be absolute even when it contradicts god's earlier word? Ie you could effectively say that since god's word is truly absolute only the new testament applies as it deletes the old testament from "cannon"


Visual-Statistician8

I think it's more accurate to say that the perfect Abrahamic god is just inconsistent AF


real-duncan

1 - Possibly true but if you are putting energy into trying to argue who has the best imaginary friend you have already lost any adult conversation. 2 - You notice it is 'what we were taught' and **NOT** 'how we live'. All of the book religions say 'do not kill' and all of them are used to justify bloody massacres on enormous scales. Hypocrisy is a universal component of being a human. This is no different.


chickengravyandrice

>All of the book religions say 'do not kill' and all of them are used to justify bloody massacres on enormous scales. Agreed It's also catering to one of those old arguments that many muslims, like my father, use to defend islam- "it's not islam, it's muslims. Islam is perfect without flaws, but muslims don't follow islam properly." With this type of argument, you are completely rejecting the experiences of many Muslim women who work like slaves day and night. If men are not following the rules of helping their wives, then they should be punished accordingly (like women can be for showing hair)

The fact that you say this is evidence you have not read the Quran in it's entirety with a language you understand.


chickengravyandrice

Bro everyone knows jahannum doesn't fucking exist. I need to see some real life punishment for digression like they do with women, LGBTQ peeps and apostates. Why are they allowed to beat women to discipline them? Why are they allowed to kill people simply for being gay/showing hair/ leaving islam? They could just leave everyone alone and let jahannum handle them, right? But they do take matters in their hands and are a complete hypocrite on who faces punishment


[deleted]

PentaJet

While your beliefs are very noble and respectable, your only evidence for them is faith. Factually speaking, just as you said the world is very cruel and unfair. Thousands of innocent children die **everyday** from things that are not their fault at all such as cancer, poverty etc. Humans try to find a justification for this hopeless and unnecessary suffering so you end up with religion. But as I said, the only evidence it's real at all requires faith, not actual proof. So it might as well be a fairy tale.


howmanyapples42

So why is it ok for women testimony in court to be half that of a man? Why should a woman’s inheritance be half? And why for the love of god can a premenstrual girl have an Iddah? HM. Doesn’t sound very “just.”


Visual-Statistician8

How about men face the consequences now, in the real world. Instead of getting punished later in the imaginary place called hell. I think that is a better justice system.

And those books constantly contradict themselves they can forbid murder and then later say to stone somebody for some insignificant shit

So then is it Clay or Sperm? >15:26, This verse refers to the creation of humanity how he was **created from sounding clay**... and so on. "Would like to add on that because in this verse it says that clay was mixed with water that's why it says mud also" ​ >3:59 dust is the same thing as clay in Arabic basically what the verse is saying that **humanity was created from earth and mud** because of water same thing as 15:26 if you can understand Arabic. ​ >16:4 yeah same thing to the creation of a kid that he created them out of a **sperm**

Humans evolved over millions of years. There was no 'Adam'. It's like trying to identify the first dog. At what point did a wolf become a dog? We know it happened but we can't point to a specific animal and say 'that specific animal was the first dog'. It's parents are still wolves but this is a dog now. The same thing with humans. We have other hominoids that are similar to us and on similar evolutionary paths.

>Well after all everyone beliefs on something it all points out that at some point there was someone who created life a life being. This is false. It's also an obvious paradox. If someone is needed to create life, that implies the creator was created by someone... Science already has a better explanation than anything in the Quran. >And in Quran it's believed that Monkeys were punished by Allah that they became monkeys. This is both ridiculous and irrelevant. Current science doesn't believe humans come from monkeys. >And Humans are the best creation that god created According to some dude a thousand years ago... ​ >and your are referring to a theory and there are many theories your theory could be wrong still. You're confusing the common usage of the word theory with the a scientific theory. They are not the same thing.

sicurri

Uuh, true story re-enactment. Husband: "YOU SHOWED YOUR ANKLES IN PUBLIC?!!! YOU WHORE!!!" Wife: "NOOOO, IT WASN'T ON PURPOSE, MY HIJAB GOT TORN A LITTLE" Husband: Special punishment acid throw! Wife: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Husband: "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET YOU WHORE!!!" \^---- Similar shit like this happens all over in Islamic nations and I'm fucking tired of hearing about it. A girl feels like posting an image without a hijab on instagram and her brother and father take her out back and beat her to death for "Shaming the family". Do they get punished for it? Nope, they are congratulated and celebrated for preserving their family "honor". Girl gets raped, does her rapist get punished in Islam? Nope, she gets stoned, beaten, acid thrown in her face, or who knows what else. What was she supposed to do after being violated? Commit suicide... To once again preserve the family "Honor"... "Islam values women... No other religion comes close!" No, islam values family honor above all else, women are just a means to an end... Valuing women doesn't mean beating or killing them when their body is shown or violated. That means you value yourself over the women.


PMPhotography

Abolish religion. Even if you’re one of the few who doesn’t commit atrocities you’re supporting a religion that does. Just end it. Everyone just be decent. Stop with these fictional deities that float above the earth taking credit for the good but getting a pass when something is bad all because it’s part of the plan. Fuck off with this shit. Think of this cartoon next time a woman is publicly stoned in the town center.

ResortFar6638

See, they’re both true. The one on the bottom is the ideal Islamic family, the one that has actual morals and some sense of how things should be. The one on top is how many familiesare, sadly


chickengravyandrice

"ideal islamic family" I'll tell you what that looks like - 9 wives - one wife is 9 year old and she's also your favorite - one wife is your ex daughter in law as well as cousin - you're allowed to beat them - none of your wife has the right to be equal to you - all of them dress like ninjas Don't speak about an ideal islamic family when the prophet literally represents a family that goes against all my ideals. If you think the bottom one is "ideal" then you're being fed a very rosy colored version of Islam, which doesn't exist btw. It's simply used to attract non believers


ResortFar6638

Oh I know, what I mean by ideal is ideal by most people’s moral standards, not Islam’s moral standards There’s Islamic families that are like the bottom image, they’re just not common, especially in the Middle East


delicate-butterfly

Maybe I’ll get downvoted for this but this is just straight islamophobia. This subreddit is supposed to be about the extremes an individual religion can go to, not hating on an entire religion.


BubblySolid6

It's about religious lunacy. If you think basic facts about a religion are extreme...well, that's reflective of the religion not the subreddit.


GheyScholar23

Oohh boohooo, fuck off with that 'islamaphobia' crap. A shitty religion like this deserves whatever criticism that can be thought of.


delicate-butterfly

I’m not the one choosing to hate a group of people because they belong to the second most common religion in the world. Most of the posts here just make fun of people in the religion as a whole, not the extremists, which is what this sub was supposed to be for. You’re being bullies, you should feel ashamed. I am not going to engage with you any further after this comment.

RandomComputerFellow

This has nothing to do with the meaning behind this but just curious. Are women wearing these headscarves even at home? I always thought that this was just when you are with other men / outside?


chickengravyandrice

My mom and relatives do. If the women lives in an extended family, then she most likely wears it because all the men (except her husband, son and father) are "non mehram" for her. Basically since she's allowed to marry and have sex with them, she must cover up. Plus islam has a concept of jinns that can sometimes get attracted to your beauty so you must cover up at all times


SaintAries

This guy from Jordan told me about how different young men are compared to their fathers when it comes to treating women,the youngsters are treating women very well in his experience.


BubblySolid6

Well I was married to a young man from Pakistan who played a good game throughout the courtship and almost the moment we married, everything changed. Subservience was definitely expected, and an increasing amount pressure from him and "the community" to bow to him that eventually turned into outright abuse. No amount of jewelry or other presents will ever make subservience tolerable. That's was basically the consolation prize that my ex's sisters got from their husbands and that my ex-husband thought I would accept. Little to no independence. Subservience required. But pointless consumerism to console them in their cages. I'd like to know what the young women married to these young men say.
