think what bothers many muslims including me is the absolutism,kind take or leave it attitude and the quick nasty reaction if you question certain aspects of the religion which many people aware of but afraid to say it loud lest they be called Christian,atheist or whateva. its the accusation & terror that more often comes out of many muslims unlike any otha religion. Its always defend defend as theres some kind alien about to destroy it..Basically humans r same having same problems and issues,,i believe its the truth that most or many muslims do the same vice most Christians,jews,budists ets do.whether its alcohol,adultery,lies,theft,killing etc,,but the problem here is muslims act like they on high horse..no no muslims don't do that. Like all we know you would've conversation about religion with a muslim that you know he drinks,he a thief,a liar,cheat on his wife and he comes up with all this BS on why I don't pray or fast or that I go to hell for saying the moon was reached,that am not muslim...and that's not only him but kind defensive mechanism for many of the religion.anotha example,,one white lady converts to islam and all of a sudden the man on the street is talking about,,whats the big deal millions of people change religions every year and no one care to know.whats is this inferiority complex,what they afraid of...Look at the muslim world,besides turkey and maybe Malaysia and Indonesia, they all in bondage with kings and dictators and if you brave enough to ask why all muslim countries in such peril the answer from most will be allah is punishing us for not following the right path and all these leaders r not muslim enough,,,ok ok,change comes another one come to power and the probability is it get worse,then some mufti or so called religious scholar comes around to topple the gov't and talks about on how to implement sharia...in the process millions die,take the boat or remain in abject poverty and sorrow..my main point here is muslims have to accept the fact that they r not and cannot follow quraan 100%.it has always been like that and gona be that way,,,if you wana do it or can do it,,FINE, but stop acting that you a more better person or close to god than other humanity.The biggest hypocrisy that always puzzles me is the response that say Christians(in this case whites) have been given all the best in life by god and muslims will have it in after life...funniest excuse for thm lagging behind in every aspect.and please for anyone talking about this subject,be polite.unlike what I see most onlines and in real life,people boiling their blood for the simplest stuff which they could othawise handled in a more dignified way.
The part in bold is something that at the same time makes my blood boil of rage while also making kind of sense.
How do you live with the knowledge that you were born into absolute poverty just like your parents did and most likely your children will too (as the majority of dadkeena are living below the daily 1,25 dollar poverty line). It’s a natural defense mechanism to rationalize the cognitive dissonance you experience knowing that even though you are on the siratul mustaqim and believing in the “right ilaahay”, still lagging behind the gaalo in every aspect.
Much easier to just believe that you will be given everything you didn’t experience in dunyada in your akhiro instead then.
I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know what I would do or believe if I was born into such conditions wallahi.
But nonetheless this mentality of staying patient and having sabr because ilaahay is “testing” you with this poverty is nothing less than opium for the great masses. As long as that mentality persists in dalkeena, Soomaaliya willigeed hoormar ma gaari doonto
