      “Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam....We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam....Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.”

      Maybe I will not use "honesty" word, I might use "careful, or modification or other words with similar meaning'
      Reason for me saying that is because Islam is violent and people are not that willing to risk livelihood due to saying true things about Islam.
      I was born in Muslim environment, practiced as Muslim until college; no more; I am behind Sam Harris and....

    Ben Affleck was wrong. I'm glad he freaked out though so discourse on this subject can begin in the public. Criticizing a religion, is NOT RACIST.

      I can. First of all, martydom is NOT required in Islam. You go to heaven if you die fighting (Which is reasonable because you died for God), but that's only if your in a war to defend Islam if it's being challanged or fighting in Allah's cause. You do NOT have to die fighting, It's just that you get rewarded for martydom. If you explode a bomb killing many people and dying in the process, that's not good. There was no need.

    I’m impressed with your honesty and ability to critically examine Islam.
    Unfortunately, there's no amount of fact shown to a Muslim from the Quran or Hadiths or from history that will change a Muslim's mind.
    Your words are powerful. What you repeatedly say to yourself, regardless of its validity, becomes your truth and belief.
    Muslims are made to recite the same mantra first thing in the morning and 5 times daily. This daily recital causes not just a strong emotional attachment to Allah and the Prophet Mohammed, but it also causes the mental inflexibility that makes Muslims unable to accept any information that’s against Allah or his Prophet Mohammed (pbuh).
    Unfortunately, once a person believes something to be true, (regardless of the truth of that thing. ) that person will instinctively accept and seek out facts and data to support the validity of that belief, no matter how false they may be.
    Conversely, when you believe that something is false, your mind automatically goes to work to prove why that thing is wrong and impossible.
    Muslims are sincerely honest people who are victims of self brainwashing. The Muslim mind, because of repetition, is usually humming the Al Fatiha and is enslaved by it's own rituals. Muslims can’t objectively analyze or accept any fact that’s contrary to their daily recitals. Muslims are thus unable to criticize Allah, the Quran or the Prophet Mohammed.
    This is why it’s almost impossible to convince a praying Muslim that God’s nature isn’t necessarily constrained into a singular entity, or that Prophet Mohammed is flawed, or that Christians aren't deceived, and Jews are not cursed.
    Your words are powerful. What you say repeatedly to yourself is more compelling than what someone else tells you. You will always believe whatever you recite.
    Be careful what you daily recite. 🙏🏾

      Yeah sure, it's why aggressive social movements have been thriving, BLM, feminism etc..
      if it was consistent people would never revert to such extreme ideologies.
      if the west was consistent it would have allowed muslims to utilize the freedom of speech same as many others, and by many others I mean the ones demeaning Islam and muslims, more so rather cheering for their death under the very vague concept of "terrorism".
      a dude in the usa got sentenced for 16 years for demeaning the lgbtq+ flag iirc burning it or just stepping on it.
      he removed it off a church, and bom, 16 years.
      it's a flag, really, he didn't commit a homicide.
      it's usually the logic the atheists use when attacking religions and religious figures and symbols and God. "but he didn't hurt anyone".
      now will anyone get a year in prison for doing any such demeaning action towards muslims? or heck even against Christians?
      I have mentioned lgbtq+ because it's being the new religion.
      and it's being forced by every and each mean possible, by force, by terrorizing people like the dude who got charged with domestic terrorism because he filed a case against a trans who sexually assaulted his girl.
      by teasing people with songs like "yes we're coming after your children" then actually the list having possible matches with previous sex offenders.

The issue people have with Islam is not that some Muslims are killing people, it's that some people are killing other people due to their faith in Islam. You can argue that what they believe in isn't the real Islam and that it is a corrupted version of it. But to somewhat outside the religion, both are equally real in that they are both based on entirely fictitious assumptions.
