A story of two young Muslims - Younas, who grew up in an ultra-religious community in West Africa, and his best friend Ibraheem who grew up in Egypt - and how they navigated the process of questioning and doubting Islam, leaving the religion and coming out to each other.

I am Chinese American and when i was in Texas i met one Egyptian Muslim he tried hard to convert me to Islam and due to his friendship i started visiting Mosques; i began believing in Islam reading Quran praying 5 times etc ;;and began to believe in After life Angels and all of Islamic Beliefs..But i always had lots of questions..Like in Han Chinese which are almost like 1/5th of the World Population and there is lot of Pagan Worship these practices are during Chinese New year and other traditional Chinese rituals and its happening since generations from family tradition and as per Islam Shirk is never forgiven sin so as per Isalam my family community who have been practicing this since generations are all ending up in Eternal Hell just because they were born in wrong place and they didn't accept Islam this was sickening thought..even if in past before their knowledge about Islam this practice wasn't judged why is their need of Islam ?? I had many many more such questions which gradually brought me out of Islam and now with soo much contents from ex Muslims i am convinced its Scammy Cult..

Abdullah, you three guys realised way earlier than me that not eating animals is the better moral choice. Well, I kind of did realise, but, as you’ve mentioned, there’s such a thing as cognitive dissonance. I finally went vegan a few months ago, and I feel happier for no longer doing what I, in my heart of hearts, knew to be wrong. And I have more energy, which I didn’t expect.

Interesting talk. I really feel for Muslims who leave their faith. From what I've learned, it appears Islam dictates every aspect of daily life. It would be difficult to choose not to have that and to constantly question all your actions and assumptions. I didn't know Islam was so into eating meat. Catholics and Orthodox abstain from meat during certain times of the year and some Catholic religious orders eat no meat. However, when I was a vegetarian, in college and attending a Baptist church, I was frequently told I was offending God by my dietary choice.🤷

Genesis 9:3 " *Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you* ; even as the green herb have I given you all things." Genesis 1:26: Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may *rule over* the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Daniel 1:11 So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.” 14 So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days. 15 And at the end of ten days their features appeared better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies.. ..17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. 18 Now at the end of the days, when the king had said that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19 Then the king interviewed them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore they served before the king. 20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm. Hint hint: We are now living in Rev 13 which paralells Daniel 1 and 3.

@@user-bw3mx5wn9y aww, brings back those good ole college days. Now you just need to tell me I'm not to call unclean what God has made clean, lol! What none of the Baptists understood when they quoted the passage from after the flood is that we were not created to eat meat. They also forgot Paul mentioning that our faith is more than what we eat or drink. Or Jesus saying it's not what goes in that defiles, but what comes out defiles because what a person says (or types in comment sections) proceeds from the heart. What those who quoted scripture to show my wrongness proved was they were just pharisaical jacka$$es.

Arabs and Africans aren’t the only Muslim. There are a lot more Muslim countries that have much better living conditions and with that it allows people to prioritize the important things. Wealth is one of the biggest factors when it comes to living standards and it wouldn’t matter which countries you go to Muslim or non-Muslim, if there is a lot of poverty then you will find a lot of other things wrong with that society. And please don’t forget how colonialism destroyed the economy of many countries and when they left those countries the colonialist in the west had dictators installed in many of those countries. Their are so many other factors as to why Muslim countries are they way they are and to take a snapshot of a specific time and make it as if Islam is the reason for the problems is very unfair. I am a black man and the same thing has been done to black people in America. There are so many problems in black communities but instead of looking back in history to understand why we are in this condition, they run and say it’s just the fact that we are black, not all the other things that were done to us over the last 400 years. Please let’s dig deeper and have a fair discussion about these issues instead of these cheap discussions to put all the blame on Islam.
