Hey joonams,
It’s been on a long week- but TANK YOU GOD that tomorrow is Friday.
Did you see how I used “God?” I MUST be an extremist… just kidding …
I grew up in a very different generation than my parents.
My father is an Atheist, my mom blames everything wrong with the world on religion – regardless of whether it’s Islam, Christianity, or Judaism.
But they were born into a Muslim family. My family is Islamic historically.
My great-grandmother fasts, she covers her hair at all times, she doesn’t eat pork – she was also married off at age nine… but if you think that is what being Muslim means then you’re f#cking cray.
The only God I’ve ever prayed to is a God who would keep the nightmares about vampires away (Buffy the Vampire Slayer scarred me for life).
My mother taught me to hate Islam and I did.
For a long time, I believed that everything wrong with Iran is a result of Islam including (but not limited to), the ridiculous notions that a woman should cover her hair, marry at a young age, and be stoned to death.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran
But Islam isn’t the reason that “Islamic” countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia are so backwards… to the point where Saudi Arabia wont allow it’s women to drive/vote/wear what they want.
