By the way, Israel is not going anywhere. We will continue to flourish.

Whenever you see a picture or gif of an Israeli soldier doing something heinous, please at least consider that it might be faked, because it usually is. I can say for a fact that the one claiming to be a twitter post from an IDF solider saying he killed 13 children is fake, he wasn’t even in combat yet. The one with an IDF soldier hitting a civilian in the face with his gun is not actually an Israeli soldier- he is wearing the wrong uniform, holding the gun the wrong way etc. These pictures are part of the media war that Hamas is fighting; they win if you believe the lies.

Well said

A video emerged on Twitter Wednesday that appeared to show a Gaza Palestinian telling an IDF soldier that he was content to allow children to be killed in an Israeli strike because, “If the children need to die, then they’ll die.”

Originally appearing on Sky News Arabic, the video was described as an audio recording of a conversation between an IDF soldier and a Gaza Palestinian in a targeted building.

The translation — independently verified by The Algemeiner — showed the Palestinian saying, “I can’t get all of the people out. I need at least two hours to get them out.”

“Listen,” says the soldier, “we are going to bomb the building.”

Israel regularly warns civilians before it strikes targets in military operations.

“You want to bomb? Bomb whatever you want,” says the Palestinian.

The soldier replies, “No brother, we need to do everything we can so you don’t die.”

“We want to die,” says the Palestinian.

“But you have a responsibility for the children’s lives,” the soldier asserts.

“If the children need to die, then they’ll die,” the Palestinian says.

“God forbid, God forbid,” says the soldier. “What, do you want to die?”

“This is how we reveal your cruelty,” the Palestinian says.

Are idf girls being used as honey traps by israel?

No, and the very suggestion only exists because of the lens of suspicion and mysticism through which some outsiders view Israel. Next they will accuse Israelis of using blood magic to fly in giant metal birds that don't flap their wings.

TEL AVIV PRIDE 2017 - BISEXUALITY THEME PARADE

[indigenous-to-the-levant]

there’s actually more to male and female than just our genitals. there’s our reproductive system, our fat deposits, our sensory reactions, our center of gravity, our skeletal system, our bone density, our ratios throughout the body, our biological functions (females have periods and can conceive, men create sperm and grow facial hair), on and on and on.

so female is not genital obsessive. but obviously “vagina-have” definitely is, like look at the word vagina it is right there

[indigenous-to-the-levant]

^Exactly.

The Right To Say No

A lot of the more liberal, ‘cute’ Muslims will always be on my ass about ‘you left the religion now stay away from it. Why do you keep talking about it?’ so I’m here to end this pointless discourse.

Because I’m not allowed to leave it.

I live in Egypt, a muslim-majority country with laws that allow my family to kill me with no repercussions if I disobey them, try to run away from them, bring ‘shame’ or ‘dishonour’ upon them (through such horrendous acts as having a boyfriend, or even just male friends), or if I ruin the family reputation. There’s a million and one ways for them to get away with my abuse, with marrying me off, with controlling my every move, with killing me in cold blood. If I speak out in my real life about leaving Islam, I’ll be killed by a brain washed stranger before my parents even get to hear about it.

Islam is not a religion of peace, and anyone who speaks basic arabic can tell you that the word Islam does not come from the word salam, meaning peace or greetings. They come from the same root word, yes, but that does not mean in arabic what it does in english. Islam comes from the word istislam, meaning to surrender. To surrender yourself completely to Allah, mind and soul. To obey without question, to believe without thought. That is what Islam teaches Arab children. These are the literal words of our prophet. Your mortal mind is too weak, too small, to understand Allah’s will in His creation. Do not trust your mind. Trust my words blindly.

I’ve been forced to wear the hijab since I was 10 years old. I was too young to understand then, too young to say no, but when I was a teenager I tried to argue that I would wear it when I’m older, when I can understand, when I feel ready. All of this got shot down angrily, even with me crying my eyes out for days, begging for some freedom to breathe. I am still forced to wear it to this day.

I’ve been forced to pray the 5 daily prayers since I was 4 years old. My parents would grab me and put me in a long tarha and make me do the movements next to my mother (never, of course, standing next to my father or brothers. Even in families, the wife and daughters stand behind the sons and father), before I was even old enough to understand the words being said. My father followed prophet Muhammed’s words “Order your children to pray by 7, beat them for it by 10″. A child refusing to pray would mean a punishment worse than death. I’m still forced to pray, to this day.

I’ve been forced and dragged and beaten and screamed at and punished since I was 5 to memorise the Qura’an. It’s made up of long verses in complex Arabic. It often speaks of violence towards non-believers, both in this life and the next. It often insults and sneers at Christians and Jews. It often speaks of violence against women. It speaks of the murder of homosexual men - and never brings up the unthinkable, homosexual women. It speaks of the evils of women, befriending non-believers, homosexuality and disobedience. It speaks of women being unclean while on their periods. We are not allowed to touch the Qura’an or even speak it aloud during our periods. I am still forced to memorise it, to this day.

I am forced to dress in long, uncomfortable, itchy materials, even in 50 degree weather (celsius) in the Saudi Arabian sun. I can not wear see-through materials, or tight materials, or even half sleeves. Every inch of me must be covered save for my hands, my feet and my face. I often pass out from the heat. I can’t wear a swimsuit at the beach. I can’t wear shorts or tank tops in my own house. I can’t stand in the cool breeze with my hair blowing behind me. I am not allowed to become a judge. I am not allowed to be a ruler. My word in court counts for half of what a man’s does. I am the image of the devil. I am sin. I am a woman.

I can’t stand up and say, I am an ex-muslim, I can’t stand up and say, I am a bisexual woman. I can’t stand up and say I denounce this religion, I denounce this life, I reject these limitations. I reject these ideas. My hair is not so enticing that I have to cover it. My arms are not sexual organs. My name is not arousing. My sexuality is not wrong. My logic is above your 1400 year old myths. I can’t stand up and say no. I can’t say, I was born into this life, I did not choose it, I was born a muslim, with muslim parents, in a muslim country. I can not say, I’ve tried your Islam and I didn’t like it, and I don’t believe in it. I can not say I’ve decided I don’t want it.

All I want is the right to say no. The right to reject a life that was thrust upon me without my approval. The right to seek out my own paths.

All I want is the right to say, No, I will not surrender.

The Qur'an contains words by `Abdullah ibn Sa`d Ibn Abi Sarh

Summary:

Muhammad had scribes write his revelations down for him. One scribe was `Abdullah Ibn Sa’d Ibn Abi Sarh. As Sarh wrote these revelations down, he frequently made suggestions on improving their wording. Muhammad often agreed and allowed the changes to be made. Eventually, Sarh left Islam, knowing it could not be from God if a mere scribe were allowed to change God’s word. Later, after the conquest of Mecca, Muhammad ordered Sarh’s death.

Evidence:

Al-Sira by al-‘Iraqi :

“The scribes of Muhammad were 42 in number. Abdallah Ibn Sarh al-Amiri was one of them, and he was the first Quraishite among those who wrote in Mecca before he turned away from Islam. He started saying, "I used to direct Muhammad wherever I willed. He would dictate to me 'Most High, All-Wise’, and I would write down 'All-Wise’ only. Then he would say, 'Yes it is all the same’. On a certain occasion he said, 'Write such and such’, but I wrote 'Write’ only, and he said, 'Write whatever you like.’” So when this scribe exposed Muhammad, he wrote in the Qur'an, “And who does greater evil than he who forges against God a lie, or says, 'To me it has been revealed’, when naught has been revealed to him.” (6:93) So on the day Muhammad conquered Mecca, he commanded his scribe to be killed. But the scribe fled to Uthman Ibn Affan, because Uthman was his foster brother (his mother suckled Uthman). Uthman, therefore, kept him away from Muhammad. After the people calmed down, Uthman brought the scribe to Muhammad and sought protection for him. Muhammad kept silent for a long time, after which he said yes. When Uthman had left, Muhammad said “I only kept silent so that you (the people) should kill him.”

Al-Baidawi commenting on the Qur'an, Sura al-Anam 6:93:

“'To me it has been revealed’, when naught has been revealed to him” refers to Abdallah Ibn Sad Ibn Abi Sarh, who used to write for God’s messenger. The verse (23:12) that says, “We created man of an extraction of clay” was revealed, and when Muhammad reached the part that says, “… thereafter We produced him as another creature (23:14), Abdallah said, "So blessed be God the fairest of creators!” in amazement at the details of man’s creation. The prophet said, “Write it down; for thus it has been revealed.” Abdallah doubted and said, “If Muhammad is truthful then I receive the revelation as much as he does, and if he is a liar, what I said is a good as what he said.”

TL;DR Muhammad let his scribe change the literal revealed word of god, who realized that the quran was just Muhammad’s nonsense. He apostasized, Muhammad marked him for death, but his foster brother brought him before Muhammad and asked for him to be spared. Muhammad was so fixated on maintaining his holier-than-thou mystique that he didn’t want to signal for the guy’s head to be hacked off, and hoped one of his entourage would just leap up and do it, unbidden. When nobody did, Muhammad spared him.

Apologists insist that Sarh returned to Islam. However that is, conveniently, said to have happened the exact same day Mecca fell to Muhammad’s army and Sarh was presented in front of Muhammad.

The quran is a demonstrably human invention.

Ok guys, a quick lesson on Iran because it’s a very misunderstood country in the west.

You probably thought that most Iranians are muslim, pray 5 times a day, fast during ramadan, willingly wear the hijab (Islamic modesty veil for women), and definitely DON’T drink alcohol which is forbidden by Islam, right?

Wrong!

The Iranian Islamic regime claims 99.5% of Iranians are muslim. This survey  published in 2020 reveals that in fact only 40% are muslim and 46.6% are non-religious (atheist, agnostic, humanist etc.)

To compare with the religious landscape in the United States, 71% of US citizens are christian and 22.8% are non-religious according to the Pew Research Centre.

Debunking some other misconceptions about Iran are the following: the survey also found that 33% of Iranians drink alcohol, 60% don’t pray, 60% don’t fast, 72% oppose mandatory hijab, and 68% are in favour of a secular government.

There are 3 things you need to understand from this:

Iranians are not what you imagined them to be.

Iranians are probably more secular than Americans.

Iranians are being held in a hostage situation by Islamic dictators that force religion onto them and pretend to speak for all of Iran.
