For the record I am not very religious and dress just like non Muslims. I sometimes eat pork, pray once in a while, and I identify more with atheism, but I do have a soft spot for Muslim issues like the Rohingya crisis, Taliban, Iran, Iraq, Xinjiang, Bosnia, Chechnya, and Palestine.
What kind of cereal do you like?
Frosted Flakes nom nom nom
If you identify with atheism, why did you identify yourself as Muslim ? Aren’t those contradictory?
That dynamic isn’t contradictory to many American Catholics and Jews. Drop the religion but keep some of the culture.
Cultural Muslim.
OP is a dishonest person. He is here to score some Blind points.
I’m trying to point out that Muslims can come in many forms. In my daily life, people are usually shocked that I can be Muslim.
How East Asian are we talking here? Like Han Chinese/Korean/Japanese or like Uighur or Southeast Asian or something? Assuming actually East Asian, how many generations has your family been Muslim?
I’m an ethnic Hui. My family history claims to have some Persian ancestors from no later than the early Ming Dynasty, but that is hard to verify other than the fact that I have huge eyes lol.
Try a DNA test like ancestry or 23andme
And your point being? Need folks to shit all over you so you become crazy? Dude just chill!
Hehehehe I’m not a dude
You don’t follow the religious practices and identify more with atheism... so are you just “Muslim” to be edgy? Assuming you have a soft spot for the Taliban, I’m guessing yes.
Gosh I didn’t think the Taliban would get this much attention. I’m interested in other Muslim issues too
What are your thoughts on Palestine hiding bombs inside a hospital? Is it ever ok to hide bombs in a hospital? Do you believe it is justified to kill others in defence of yourself and your family?
* Reporting live from Fox News * lol
What do you think about dropping airstrike bombs on hospitals? Is it ever okay to bomb hospitals? Do you believe it's justified to kill others in order to 'hunt terrorists' based on sketchy intel?
You don't have to follow a religion to have a soft spot towards innocent people facing injustice. It just says that you are a human. Most of the crisis you mentioned are war related where inoccent people are being murdered in the name of war and politics. Two groups fighting for some shit they want on stake of peoples life.
You are right. My views on those issues is a function of my being Muslim, the historical and cultural background that I grew up in, and my own thinking.
Do you expect your partner to be Muslim to any degree?
No, because Muslim is part of my identity but not everything. I’m also East Asian. I emphasize East Asian because I’m technically Chinese (American born Chinese) but don’t really identify as Chinese but I think Asian is too broad to be meaningful because west Asian is really the same as East Asian. As long as my partner is respectful towards Islam and East Asian culture, but more importantly is towards me that is enough.
Do you don't mind at all if your partner eats pork and drinks alcohol?
You have a soft spot for taliban? Wtf?!
Let me explain m. It’s not that I want to join the Taliban. I happen to see their side of the story. Yes I do think of them as similar to the mujahideen in that they are fighting in self defense. I personally don’t want to live under their social system, since I’m probably an infidel in their eyes (I’m a girl btw and I abhor the restrictions they put on women). But I think the Taliban should be viewed in the context of the conservative Afghan culture which they came from. To make an East Asian example, the Taliban is like China’s Boxers who resisted Western invasion around the turn of the twentieth century, who were definitely misguided in a lot of ways and did bad stuff, but patriots nonetheless. So yeah, I think Taliban should be respected for their patriotism.
Nothing wrong with self defense, or a conservative system. But they harbored and aided al-f’n-Qaeda. That, to me, should remove any soft spots for them. And this from a practicing conservative Muslim myself.
