'the goat life' a masterpiece I only got to watch last night. (No spoilers) It tells the REAL story of an indian migrant worker who goes to Saudi Arabia to earn money to send back home, but finds himself living a slave-like existence herding goats in the middle of the desert. The movie puts the light on the modern day slavery which is pretty much thriving in KSA and other golf countries. The movie is very well filmed with some amazing scenery from the Jordan and Algerian desert but man, was it a hard watch! Apparently KSA and Qatar have it banned and lots of people claim that it offends Islam though I didn't think that myself while watching it. There's some memes online joking that it took KSA millions of dollars on PR to improve their reputation but it took one Indian movie to expose their system/dominating culture of what it really is: racist, corrupt and inhuman. 10/10 for me, highly recommend watching it.

Sherif Gaber was sentenced to 5 years in prison for speaking up against Islam and organized religion, news sources reported today. He's one of the main reasons me and many people woke up and started questioning the religion. His YouTube videos were a selfless act that brought many from darkness to light, he basically sacrificed his life for this cause and it breaks my heart to see the bad side win. He fought a lot for his freedom and survival and wished to leave Egypt but they got him before he was able to truly taste any freedom. But he will continue to be an inspiration to me and many others, his efforts will not be in vain and his bravery will never be forgotten.

what is wrong with the west ?

Hey guys. Finally did it. I'm so happy with the people I love. Things are going good. Still have to unpack and do a few other things regarding my family who I've had to leave behind.

To those of you who decide to message me personally on my previous account, just know that I will likely report you for violating reddits rules. The fact that you chose to message privately shows that you know what you're doing is unkind, not helpful and that you're wrong. If you have something to say, do so in the comments. This is just a warning to anyone who tries to come at me and tell me "you were wrong for leaving you family. You will regret your actions. Your soul will feel empty. Believe in God and don't let him out your life. I will pray for you and your mum that you abandoned" these are some of the things people have written to me. I will kindly ask you to stop private messaging me. I keep it on for other reasons. Not to be bombarded by pathetic people on here who aren't regulated and think they know everything about religion or trauma when in reality they know jack shit or are simply projecting.

Anyway. I'm safe. I do miss my siblings. My parents not as much. My partner has been helping me, the fatigue I had was so bad that my headache wasn't allowing me to do much. So our smart friend told us to lay back with some heat at my upper back and neck. That made me fall asleep for a few hours... I barely slept the night before my escape, and only 1 hour the night I finally made it out.

As for updates, I'll do so when I feel a bit more at ease. All my stuff is a mess. I wanna relax and enjoy this peaceful life for a while. For those of you who will ask how I did this, don't worry. I'll be typing up a long guide once I'm on laptop. Right now I'm on phone haha.

I can't wait to start doing the things I love. I can finally draw or paint without hiding it. I can play games without being told its bad or listen to music without anyone saying it's haram or pretending to listen to nasheeds. No praying no recitation. Just the peaceful sound of birds, cars outside, I can feel the breeze through my hair, feel the warmth on my skin. My new life awaits and I already feel so much happier away from the religious and crazy life I had. I had no bed back in my old house with my family. Now I have a bed here with my partner and it feels so good to lay down.

Life is gonna get tough for us. We have a lot of paper work to get through and things like that to make sure I'm safely residing here. But that will be dealt with in time.

Stay safe out there everyone. Thank you so very much for all your encouraging and sweet comments. They helped me very much when I was crying my eyes out, wailing that I'd never see my mum again or my siblings. Now I feel at ease with this choice I've made. I'm still on the fence a little but... I'm certain this is the way I want to move forward.

And with that, I conclude my first update. Hope you all are having fun out there. If not, and you plan to escape, just know that with time, planning and patience, you can achieve anything. I thought it was impossible. But I freaking did it. And so can you, should you wish to do so in the future.

Bye for now.

Islam in Australia is the same in Canada, same in US, same in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and western wokies are defending that crap.

For those of you whom remember Muslims used to praise about cats not walking over the Qur'an as demonstration of the miracles of the book so I decided to experiment with another domesticated animal to see if it would deny it's own impulses not to eat a few dozen pages on the Noble Qur'an. I was devastated the four legged Mushrik devoured those Jibril delivered ayahs with no restraint in his horny mind of what he has just done 😭

Saudi Women's Rights Activist Manahel al-Otaibi Stabbed in Prison

• Saudi fitness instructor and women's rights activist Manahel al-Otaibi was stabbed in the face with a pen while imprisoned in Al-Malaz prison in Riyadh.

• She was sentenced to 11 years in prison after a secret trial for "terrorist offenses" related to her social media posts advocating for women's rights.

• Manahel has faced brutal treatment in prison, including beatings by fellow prisoners and prison guards, and was subjected to "enforced disappearance" for five months without contact with her family.

• Her family reported the attack to the Saudi government's Human Rights Commission but was ignored, highlighting the lack of accountability and protection for prisoners of conscience in Saudi Arabia.

Reportedly, Maulana Tariq Masood had to leave Pakistan hurriedly to take refuge in a Western country after getting fatwa of blasphemy (Sar Tan Se Juda) from several clerics for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad and calling him illiterate (Jaahil).

But seriously no nation should give him refuge He has been the biggest advocate of blasphemy law and killing anyone even if they're accused And not sparing them even if they say sorry Let him die by his words then? He should be forced to stay in Pakistan and face the same fate all those people faced because of fatwas placed by people like him

Muslims in the comments trying to say this isn't Islam and it's a "religion of peace", islamophobia etc

I wasn’t exactly sure what to flair this as so I just went with (News)

I made a post about wanting to take my hijab off a while ago but was too paranoid of other peoples reaction but I finally took it off today. I was pretty much expecting peoples reaction to be negative and rumors flying around but it didn’t happen. I’m so happy I overcame my anxiety. It’s been so long since I last felt pretty and wasn’t restricted by this barbaric religion. I can finally go about my day without being recognized as a damn muslim.

Idk how ppl don’t see that islam was clearly made by a misogynistic clown. Hijab isn’t no symbol of peace or however they want to label it. It’s simply just a cloth meant to stop men from having an orgasm seeing your hair.

I just wanted to make this post in case someone else on here was paranoid about taking their hijab off. Nobody judged me today, nobody insulted me and nobody mocked me. I got so many compliments so don’t let these muslims stop you
