The only reason someone will call themselves an ex Muslim is because they know they have something to gain from a reveal of their status as a former Muslim lol
The only reason people call themselves ex muslim is because being an ex muslim in a lot of counties will lead to their death and they want to give these people hope that the ex muslims in more liberal places who have the same experiences of growing up as a muslim will speak for those who do not have a voice and make sure people know how they are suffering under a religion which is being masked as a religion of peace by developed countries while others who live under the actual teaching of the religion suffer because they do not have basic human rights.
-an ex muslim who’s mother was abused and divorced by her father without her permission because of Islamic law, and has watched her cousins being forced into marriage by their parents with men twice their age and has been demonized by society because I’m seen as disposable waste because I do not have a male in my family.
I still live in a country where these practices are seen as normal. The talaq law was literally fucking banned last year 19 years after my father left my mother and she was forced to raise me alone with no fucking financial help.
I call myself an ex muslim to show people that I used to follow the fucking religion and have been raised in that way and learnt through my own research that I was being seen as shit under it.
There is no gain in using ex Muslim as a title it just brings more problems for us as individuals but we still do it because we want people to understand that we are here to fight against a system made to silence us.
Do not even try to make the words “ex muslim” seem like a fucking badge cause it’s not its a fucking scar.
You complete fucking idiot I am from the same country and the entire proceeding against getting rid of triple talaq was primarily publicised by Hindutvadi reactionaries of the RSS who did it only to form an opinion of Muslim women as victims to the point that their amendments in the marriage laws would change nothing about things like alimony and was going to help make getting out of abusive marriages harder.
People like me and other feminist advocacy groups and lawyers worked to ensure to strike this down and actually HELP Muslim women get due payments and alimony.
I know what the fuck I’m talking about you fool. Don’t try me EVER again
My fucking grandfather was working his ass off trying to get this law banned for my mother don’t even try to make this about you when you haven’t fucking lived under the same rules that I have. He is a lawyer who worked with the fucking people and spread the story of my mother to get national recognition and demolition of the law.
Your feminist groups have fucking abandoned people like me who LINK THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY A RELIGION TO THE FUCKING RELIGION
Now you’re gonna tell me you’re Shah Bano’s kid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Why lie? And if he’s worked against the law then he’d be well aware of how the litigation worked and how the proceedings went. You weren’t “abandoned” by anyone the fact that you can’t recognise the fucking RSS government using this both to demonise Muslims while also amending laws in a way that might ultimately hurt women is hilarious 😂😂😂😂 Tell me more what you know kid, go on
Bruh I’m literally a sunni muslim who is the granddaughter of a multiple muslim committee’s president, both sunni and shia operated. I was raised learning Arabic which I discontinued at 13 because I put two and two together and realised that most of my problems was caused by the fucking religion.
Ofcourse you won’t believe me because I do not fit in your fucking narrative of a god fearing muslim who is oh so thankful that someone came and saved me.
I don’t have a need to prove my authenticity because I know for a fucking fact you are gonna make it into a “wow you are lying about this too” and i don’t want to risk getting doxxed cause I’m a lesbian who is still living in a conservative locality of india but if you really want authenticity my father published a whole ass article when he divorced my mother by mentioning her and her father’s name in the june newspaper of 1999, in an arabic paper which circulates in Hyderabad, Andra Pradesh (where I was born). Those names were used in andra Pradesh when the law was banned.
You can’t use facts to demonize a religion sis these laws were a part of islam from way before.
You are just a coward who is scared that ex Muslims have learnt that this religion is anything but a religion of peace and are speaking up against it in public.
I’m a lesbian too so saying that won’t change anything 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 And as I knew you are trying to obfuscate the reactionary nature of the very introduction of the Muslim’s woman’s protection law.
The fact that you think I am in anyway afraid of your status as an “ex-muslim” who is only going to go further to contribute to the general reactionary and communalist sentiment is amazing too. The fact that you’re citing an ARABIC newspaper in ANDHRA to talk about the apparent contributions of your family is amazing to me too. When did you book your seat for the Ex-Muslim Sangh Parivar 🤨
Also funny how you’re talking about the things that are a part of the religion when literally one of the main proponents of scrapping it for years was the work of Islamic scholars on how it was bidaah and a new creation… werk
Stupid vague but ok.
1) never said that you helping to scrap the law was you abandoning muslim women
I said your groups abandoning ex muslims who are trying to link the law to the fucking religion is abandoning women.
2) I talked about the Arabic newspaper because you were fucking trying to push a lie that I’m lying about my situation.
Which I proved wrong because I wouldn’t know about the Arabic newspaper or its circulation if I wasn’t fucking part of the community.
3) I said I was a lesbian to stop further requirement of proof of my words as it will put me in mortal harm
which obviously flew right past your head.
4)My grandfather is a lawyer who put together multiple representatives and signatures which lead to the actual bringing of the law to the court. His contribution has been recognised multiple times in Andra Pradesh as an achievement of Islamic reformation and undoing past mistakes.
You would know if you were actually part of the people who worked with state based representatives which you obviously didn’t.
5) Your original fucking post was about how people use the “title” ex muslim as a way to gain some sort of recognition which I debunked cause get this
if recognition was a fucking thing then ex Muslims wouldn’t be fucking getting killed in multiple countries.
Trying to straw man a conversation of actual oppression faced by women into some “oh which party is paying you to say these things” isn’t fucking activism
Grow the fuck up
Ex muslims are here to talk about their own experiences which have lead to their ostracization and in multiple cases fucking death. Not recognising this is pushing the deaths of multiple fucking people under the rug cause it doesn’t allow you to spout lies about how fucking peaceful islam is.
Okay they shot themselves in the foot the moment they tried to blame the whole triple talaq issue on the RSS.
…almost like they’re more concerned about making themselves LOOK GOOD rather than actually LISTENING to Muslims who have lived through the bad side of Islam and are telling you what they’ve experienced.
If you want to help Muslim women LISTEN to them, INCLUDING the ones who say things that are going to make you uncomfortable because HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO REFORM ISLAM IF YOU DON’T
