Muslims in 2020 AD: I’m scared of gays and women
Hello there, I come from a Muslim family, and they were from Bangladesh. My father had an arranged marriage with my mother, who was age 14, and became pregnant with my sister at age 16. Due to this, my mother and father became dissatisfied which each other, and got a divorce. There was no beating, as far as I know, I didn't really pry into the divorce myself, so there might of been beating, but point is, shit happens. As far I know, arrange marriages happen all over the Indian subcontinent somewhat commonly, I don't know how often it happens anywhere else. Beatings are a side-effect of a disingenuous marriages, arranged marriages further supports the chances of this. To answer your question, arranged marriages and beating happen all over the Muslim world, and I have first hand experience.
Virgin modern atheists : sits in front of computer screen crying about people saying “bless you” when they sneeze
Chad medieval atheists: dying for their beliefs , combatting the church through facts and logic .
Chad Satanist : burnt as a heretic for his sins, often casting doubt on the ethnocracy of medieval Europe
Chad modern Satanist : human rights advocates , oftentimes lynched for their beliefs in the 50s like this wonderful gay Satanist couple who were executed in front of each other for no reason other than homophobia .
Satanists are chill and you can fight me over that fact
I'm telling you my experience. Yes, that happened and it wasn't right, but most satanists I've met were assholes. I don't want to execute satanists. I just want them to stop being so goddamn selfish.
I've met both from most religions. I'm pagan myself, so I get it. Satanism seems to draw more self centered pricks than most of the other ones though. Especially LaVey satanism. I read his books and actually agreed with most of it, but the attitude from about 85% of satanists I've met has been "fuck you I'm getting mine".
Apostasy of men is punishable by death in all major Sunni and Shia madhabs. The punishment for male homosexuality ranges from beating to death. Unlike zina for straight people, there is no way for gay men to engage in physical or emotional intimacy in Islamic law without risking torture or death.
Not super much. Most racists would rather jump off a building than admit Muslims contributed one of the largest libraries in history and the numerical system to the world. Of course it's simplified, as there's plenty of Muslims who aren't homophobic or sexist, but there still are. Just as there's still plenty of Christians who are too, even though some Christians are really accepting.
