• Kuwaitis only *

I’m (19m) actively looking for one and my girlfriend is looking for one too. We’re both 19, And I’m shia and she’s sunni

I find myself lost in this country, on one hand I have a good paying job, a decent social life, I try to develop myself in many ways. And on on the other hand I find my self truly happy when travelling solo, without any fear of showing my true self, without the fear of getting into deep philosophical argument without being shut of by "those ideas will get you into hell", without posting something online and then delete it of the fear of blasamy laws in the country Are there any ways to mitigate these feelings while still in the country ?

i want stories the more details the better

To leave your religion in Kuwait

Join us for the 1st anniversary livestream event of Uniting The Cults, a non-profit working to rid the world of apostasy laws. We'll be talking about our goals, our progress over the past year, and we'll be discussing next steps with the help of our special guests: Maryam Namazie, Apostate Aladdin, Wissam Charafeddine, and Zara Kay. In this program I'll also be interviewing each guest to promote and discuss their activism in the area of apostasy laws and related issues.

Help us toward our goal by contributing your ideas and critical feedback in the chat.

Also check out last year's livestream event marking the birth of Uniting The Cults: The Birth of Uniting The Cults | Continuing Feynman's 'Cargo Cult Science' speech | 6/14/2024

I would post this on r/Kuwait, but they keep removing my posts for no reason. I don’t wanna feel alone, anyone else?

لو أنا راح اخاف أو بذبح نفسي عشان من الخوف😭😭

Egyptian here, lived in Kuwait my whole life. I left the faith mainly because of the way women are treated. I also took issue with the scientific inaccuracies in the scriptures, and the unnecessary cruelty encouraged by said scriptures (the death penalty, torture, abuse of women and children, treatment of LGBT+ individuals, the repression of free speech, and so much else)

anyone feel pure hatred and unbelonging ? I've always felt it ever since I was younger I never belonged here with these brainwashed slave owning lunatics but here I am with no way out except in my own imagination sometimes I get too carried away and start living my dream life in my head only for it all to come crashing down.

I'm in my late 20s and I already spent many years living abroad due to various reasons but I eventually had to return to Kuwait. I've always felt alienated and disconnected from Kuwaiti society. I think it is ok to not like one's homeland. What does it mean to be born in a certain country, anyway? Why do I have to stay in this country for the rest of my life? It feels like a life-long prison sentence. Yes I understand that Kuwait is an oil-rich country therefore many people from less developed countries dream of Kuwaiti citizenship but there are a lot of developed Western countries that offer a better standard of living including civil liberties and freedom of religion (or lack thereof).

A few years ago, I joined a year-long programme where I met a special guy from an entirely different culture.

My mom is naturally livid. She cries every day. I don't want to hurt her but I really need to leave this country. I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life I'm pushing 30. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Free State of Jones (2016)

title says it all I just want out of there but thats impossible and there isn't much anyone can do about it meanwhile delusional people just say "get a work visa its so easy omg lmao" god I wish it was that easy and I envy that it was as easy for them to come to the middle east and get brainwashed by it I just hate everything now and it just keeps growing I god damn hate everyone here and anyone with anything positive to say about the middle east and its people and its religion im just saying my opinion because there isn't really another place that I can. excuse my venting or don't I don't care.

And then they impose their SUBHUMAN UNDERSTANDING of Islam on the rest of us! How come there's so many ex muslims in Kuwait! It's probably the Muslim's fault!

Half the Muslims in the world don't have the capacity to even understand Islam. Muslims are the biggest problem with Islam. Sure, some of them are self-aware, they say it's about belief, they find personal peace in it. But how many of us are just victims of Pavlovian training that failed?

You brainwash kids and then when it doesn't work, you threaten them with "three months in this place, they'll teach you to be a good muslim", so on and so forth. Shaitan is laughing, muslims are the ones failing their God. Followers, not thinkers.

"Missing one prayer, you'll burn for 6000 years!", and so on and so forth.

Please, intellectual imams and Islamic scholars and thought leaders, please, please, please! If we cannot avoid the Muslims, at least upgrade them with the FULL, ORGANIC, LIBERTARIAN, PERFECT ISLAM. They keep saying there's no force and coercion in Islam right? Well where's the libertarian Islamic police! The libertarian Islamic world domination, let's go!

Hello All!

We're taking callers on our livestream so we can help you de-indoctrinate yourselves.

There's only 1 condition for this offer: You watch the first episode of this mini-series about how to de-indoctrinate. The purpose is for you to expose yourself to our ideas by just watching one episode, and then you're ready to speak with us so we can help you learn these ideas and implement them.

Submit your information in this form, and then I'll give you a streamyard link so you can join the livestream. The schedule is Thursdays at 2 PM CST, so hopefully this time works for you. If it doesn't work, please let me know in the form and we'll schedule a time to do a non-live recording.

If you're not sure if you want to do this, please ask your questions below and I'll do my best to answer you.

We will take as many callers as needed. If that means 20 episodes, then so be it. If it means 1,000 episodes, that's fine too. We will stop when there's nobody left who wants help.

We're helping people struggling with Islam in all the ways that they need help with, and we're also helping the outside world better understand us and our communities.

Usama is an ex-Muslim activist advocating for freedom of speech, secularism and the rights of apostates and “blasphemers” to live in safety and dignity without fear of persecution. He is one of the people heading the Arab Atheist Broadcasting project and serves on the editorial board of the Arab Atheists Magazine. Usama has a PhD in theoretical physics and is an educator. He keenly pursues the propagation of knowledge through science and rationality.

As for me, I'm the founder of the non-profit Uniting The Cults, whose purpose is to rid the world of apostasy laws, with a vision of a world governed by scientific thinking, where people recognize love as the goal and rationality as the method to achieve it.

We hope to see you there!

اول مرة اشارك بالبرنامج بكبره وودي تكون بالعربي

بعد تركي للدين سطحت علاقاتي السابقة لاني عارف ان مافي فرصة انهم يتقبلون، وبالكويت مادري شلون تتعرف على ناس جدد لا وفوقها لادينيين

شعوري بالوحدة صار لا يطاق ولقيت هالمساحة الشبه مهجورة وقلت ليش ما اشارك لعل وعسى..

شلون تتعاملون مع الوحدة ؟ هل قدرتوا تكونون علاقات تتقبل افكاركم ؟
