abusers: you should resolve everything peacefully with understanding and patience. nobody needs to be violent or argumentative. peace and love at all times.

except whEN I DECIDE I WANT VIOLENCE, THEN I WILL INFLICT VIOLENCE there will be as Much Violence as I want and I will get my fucking way by force every single time!!!!

but as soon as thats over and I'm satisfied, hey you should be peaceful! why are you being insane and emotional? why are you not being peaceful about this? what are you talking about, it was a funny joke! haha, don't be silly, you're imagining things. You should not argue or raise your voice or it might trigger more violence ;) and it would be your fault. I decide when violence will happen and I can do as much of it as I want, you should not argue if I want peace. Now calm down and remember you are evil if you do not forgive and forget immediately though I will not apologize or acknowledge I did anything. Peace and love forever!

Aaaa why are all the ex-Muslim posts by r*dfems this is exhausting.

this is what happens when many progressive spaces are too afraid to make spaces for people like ex-Muslims, it leaves people turning either to the racist right who only wants to use them for fear mongering or to t*rfs and do I even have to explain..

There's someone infantalizing about how many progressive spaces still refuse to accept the idea that anyone besides a white European man can be an oppressor, Islam may be a religion discriminated against in the west but that will never erase the insane amount of harm its down to folks in countries where it is the domination religion, or all of the cultural erasure and straight up genocide caused by it.

Let this be a reminder that the hijab was never for modesty it was to separate slave women from free women so men knew who they could 'halal' use.

And yet many progressive spaces seem to refuse to acknowledge this because of fear of being called racist and other things for acknowledging that hey other cultures are also flawed and oppressive, I mean for fucks sake I - a literal Arab ex Muslim have been called racist for speaking up about how this religion has hurt me, how I was reminded by my own mother about the rule of children of Muslims who leave Islam being killed when I was overstepping in my criticism, did she mean it from a place of kindness? Probably, still fucked with me because I sure as hell didn't know if I should interpret as a threat or a warning, how I had to listen to my Islam teacher talk about killing kufar (specially women. Who made one slip up.) , how I had to sit there and know I will never ever be accepted by those around me and if they really knew who I am, atheist queer etc then they'd want me fucking dead.

I think this highlights a problem in online spaces - conversations aren't allowed. Everyone has to have the 'right' opinions and jump on the 'right' support train even if they don't actually understand what they're saying because you can't discuss it nor question it. That's disrespectful, that's bad, you're bad if you question. It's genuinely dystopian and this lack of space for discussion and questions does so much more harm than good. Anyways this post went WAYYY off the rails.

Supporting ex-muslims who are trying to process their religious Islamic trauma is not fucking racist or islamophobic. Some of y'all will literally dismiss a hurt and isolated person before admitting that Christianity is not the only religion capable of harm and other religions can also have fucked up shit in it. How are you gonna give love to yourself and other ex-christians in their journeys out of purity culture, shame, and fear but then turn around and call ex-muslims "islamophobic" for doing the same shit? I'm begging you to have a drop of empathy and stop being so two-faced

I think it’s weird how there’s a double standard when it comes to atheists. So if i tell a religious person that i’m atheist, they’ll start interrogating me about my life. They would just assume that my atheism is because of some trauma that happened to me.

And then they would assume that atheists know everything about the universe. They would show you a phenomenon or whatever and tell you to explain it. And if you don’t know, they’ll think it’s a “gotcha” moment. Yet they allow it when people who identify with their religion barely know anything about it.

Like you can’t expect an atheist to debate with you anytime. We’re not omnipotent. We don’t know every single thing about the world, just like they don’t know every single thing about their religion. They’re holding us on a higher standard. And the reason is obvious.
