Like no cap, the only songs we have are non instrumental songs and accapellas (thanks to salafis :/) and most of these songs suck.

We need more Islamic music that suit todays style (pop, rock, jazz, Lori, ect..) , + these songs tend to make people more loving and appreciative of islam as well as happy and glad to be Muslims.

Thoughts?

I’m in Europe currently, and the prayer times are outrageous.

Prayer at 4, then all the way to 11 pm at night.

How do you manage to stay awake and get in all your prayers?

I fully believe in Islam. In fact, I find it impossible to deny the existence of Allah. Void or coincidence couldn't have sustained life, as it has been, for as long as we've known it. I also believe in the Quran, due to its exhaustive nature and consistency with science.

However, some details in Islam have me thinking and second guessing. For example, a guy being able to have four wives, the barbaric punishments for some sins, and ultimately the extreme opinion against gay people.

I just find these, among some other things, hard to grasp. I cannot wrap my head around the idea that we are instructed to despise a group of people, who most likely have no say over who their genitalia responds to. Much less, how it is a stereotype to think and ensure these people feel that they are destined to hell, if they seek what heterosexual people are encouraged and ASKED to acquire, i.e., love and stability. Every single concept that is rather aggressive or jarring seems to send a wave of confusion in me.

On one hand, things align with my logic and principles, while at the same time, other things are completely parallel and I cannot fathom or see how they make sense. I don't know if this will make any sense to anyone.

 
  1. I don't mean the US army, British army, French army etc which serve western colonial purposes and wages unjustifiable wars. But let's say a Muslim living in Zimbabwe or Guyana wants to join the national army there to defend the country? Would it be haram since the country is non Muslim lead by a non Muslim government?

  1. And what should Muslims living in the non Muslim country do if a Muslim country launches and unjustifiable invasion, should they fight for the non Muslim government of the non Muslim country they live in, or should they go join the invading Muslim forces?
 

Why do American evangelicals hate Muslims and constantly fear and hate-monger against Muslims in America?

You see this a lot on social media, and they always claim Muslims are here to bring Sharia law, which I think is hypocritical since these evangelicals also want to bring biblical/Christian law and influence into American politics.

 

If you dont already know, subliminals are audios and affirmations that you can listen to that can make you manifest results and things like nice jawline, slim waist, more money etc.

They work in weird ways (at least thats what people that listen to them say).

Subliminals are becoming very common nowadays especially with muslims as well.

I've seem comments about Muslims openly admitting they listen and enjoy them and defend them.

What do you guys think about them?

They always say things like:

"islam is incompatible with Western civilization",

"Islam is a violent religion",

"you don't see christians behead and stone people",

etc.

They don't want to listen to you, some of them I talked to even said they knew muslims who were kind and friendly, and still think we have ulterior goals of taking over Western countries(what the f*ck?!)

It isn't muslim countries who started 2 world wars

It isn't muslim countries who invaded iraq

And it wasn't muslim countries who put people in human zoos.

And the worst part...it is the Western world funding and supporting Saudi terrorism.
