You know, instead of fighting in these comments sections, you all can reach out to each other, despite your initial feelings and bad experiences, and try to talk to the human beings behind the comments, even if the comments seem bad or scary to you at first. This doesn't matter if you're a Muslim, a Hindu, a Jew, a Christian, or an Atheist. What we have in common is certainly that we are all human beings and stuck experiencing this world and what is going on in it, and you might find there a lot of fun and friendship and interesting stories to be had and heard if you all were to just put aside some of these contentious things for a moment and approach each other with curiosity, dignity, genuineness, authentically, human to human. That way, radicals on any side or all side can find better things to do, more things to enjoy, to stop obsessing about whatever they are obsessing about, fearing, or hating, and coming to expand all that they can enjoy and enjoy with others, even outside of their "cliques".
Yes, Muslims, Atheists, every type and group, can be annoying and scary and hostile and there can be a lot of fighting and swearing, but you're all missing out on the great joy of being interested in each other and not just the stereotypes we believe or the tendencies we expect. We can talk to each other about things, relate to each other, look into things, share thoughts on things, it doesn't have to be so weird constantly. We can fight too of course, but every person is full of stories and feelings, there is so much more you can gain, even from each other, even from behind agency computers, those are still people too, even if you think they are being paid, everyone can start to be more human and more human with each other. Then you'll see that these things that we're allowing to rule us might actually be secondary, that they shouldn't rule us but we should be in charge of our ideas and not be controlled by mindless agendas and ideologies of any sort, we're people, so get to know each other!
Does that sound too sappy for you all?

I thought he was talking about certain organizations. Certainly he doesn't mean all Jews are radical Zionists hell-bent on attacking Islam, but he mentioned two organizations, so that probably doesn't even mean the members on every level of such organizations, but just the people in charge and receiving the funds. All Muslims aren't the same, didn't he say something about individuals? Maybe he didn't.
So, if someone is talking about an organized group though, it becomes difficult to talk about how some of them like coffee and others don't in the organization. Is that what you feel might be necessary? For example, people say "Atheists", but every Atheist is different, they do share some things in common. These two organizations and these "ex-Muslim" speakers aren't necessary the same as people who simply stop practicing Islam who are "ex-Muslim", these people go out of their way to join organizations and propagandize stuff right?

@AllahDoesNotExist We need a better suffix than "phobic".
"-misia is the suffix that means (strong) dislike for something.
For example in:
Iatromisia: from Greek iatro-, "physician, medicine" + Greek misos, "hatred"; from miseo, "I hate"
So it is clear that iatromisia is somehow different from iatrophobia (which is an abnormal or irrational fear of doctors or going to the doctor).
logomisia: from Greek logos, "words" + Greek misos, "I hate"
Because Linda often connected the term "argument" with bad memories between her parents, that started with normal conversation then developed into loud and angry voices, all of which turned her into a person with logomisia."
Ok, so would you accept the term Islamomisic? Islamomisia and Islamomisic, how about that? What else are you misic about? Just curious.
What do you imagine "Allah" to be? Non-existent, right? Yet, if you were to imagine something in relation to the term, what would you imagine? What do you imagine these Muslims are imagining and what do you personally imagine with the term Allah? Are you Religiomisic in general? I'm anthropomisic haha but they have a word for that, misanthropic I guess. The mis often appears in the front of the word, like misotheistic.

@yasmina1994 Why are you locked in this identification though as "Ex-Muslim" like an identity. Certainly you are more than that. I would absolutely despise it if I "left" something, and kept tying myself or being tied to it endlessly. Wouldn't that be worse? Like being tied to some sort of crime. I would want nothing to do with the thing, not hear of it, not associated with it, never to think of it, I would never "identify" as an "ex" whatever, I would never tie my identity to something I consider wrong and even dumb or despicable. So it is kind of weird how people do "hover" and constantly look up things and get attracted to stuff and keep returning to the subject. I'd be sick of it already. A lot of people seem secretly obsessed with their identity as a "former" of whatever, they keep going to the subject, keep relating to others with this new identity that still mentions the other thing, its yucky seeming to me. It is like a victim of sex attacks or something then forever being tied to it, not being able to discuss anything else much, always bringing back that story over and over, not truly being able to make it like nothing in their life and irrelevant, rather it becomes this bloated thing that one is forever tainted and diseased with. I don't like it, but that is just the way I see it. I'd hate other things too, like if I was East Asian looking and everyone would walk up to me and go "woeEoaoe" making Bruce Lee Martial Arts noises and moving their hands around, and I have to say "I'm not into that" over and over, or even worse "I'm an ex-martial artist" or something, horrifying, I'd hate even looking a way that causes me so much trouble and annoyance. Yet some people are going out of there way to keep on introducing situations like that.

@thegamechanger3317 Yeah, so what I'd expect really is that children who would otherwise be Muslim, from Muslim cultural families, are not frequently circulating in the social services or adoption system, and they are also not at an especially high risk of being trafficked either as part of the human trafficking and sex trade type illegal industry. They are also less likely to be involved in drug use, alcohol abuse, addictions, and therefor a reduced rate of involvement in violent crimes, except that Europeans are reporting that the low income individuals coming from North Africa and the Middle East who may have a culturally Islamic background, are committing crimes against ethnically Caucasian and European people, and possibly other immigrants from other nations, most particularly sex crimes and possibly robberies and shootings.
The other commenter had suggested that there is an epidemic in Europe of Muslim children being taken from their families and put into social services and adopted by non-Muslims supposedly? Then a number of people requested that whoever has heard of such a thing should provide sources for the information, but no such sources seem to exist, so I don't know what they were talking about. It would be interesting if such a thing were actually happening, and thus adoption would be a way to assimilate the population by raising their children as non-Muslims, but I just don't think this is really happening or I have no reason to believe it is a real thing that is occurring, until further information is provided.
Typically, Muslim families don't drink or do drugs, so they are less likely to abuse or neglect their children, so the children are less likely to fall into the hands of social services, and sending off Muslim or Ethnically Muslim children is incredibly rare in Islamic cultures, they would rather hand the child off to their relatives before absolute strangers, and especially not non-Muslim strangers. So I just don't believe this is occurring, but I'd like to know more if such a thing is actually happening.

@thegamechanger3317 Yes, so at the top of this comment chain, the user named "Goku" wrote the following: "Brother, please talk about the kidnapping of the refugee children in Sweden. Some reporters claim that at least 20,000 children are being kidnapped every year by Swidish social service..
Please brother."
So, what that writing suggests, is that 20,000 immigrant refugees are being kidnapped and forcibly removed from their families by the Swedish social services. My question was if those 20,000 children are a real number, where that information is available, and if these "refugees" are Muslims and Muslim families.
The Muslims are not typically expected to be drinking alcohol or doing whatever, and so are not likely to be abusing their children or having their children removed or dealing with social services, so I found these claims of 20,000 refugee (Muslim) children to not be true or accurate, and I'd like to know where this story comes from or what it is really about.

H & M Foundation may be how this story started to circulate. This is what it says on their website:
"During 2015 more than 35,000 unaccompanied refugee children came to Sweden. These children are a particularly vulnerable group who are exposed to psychological stress and trauma, as they are separated from their family and care takers.
It is a challenging situation for the Swedish society to make sure that the rights of these children are protected and that they receive adequate support which can enable participation and social inclusion in the local community. Together with the Swedish Red Cross, H&M Foundation had a project which reached 20,000 refugee children integrate into the Swedish society.
Through different kinds of activities, planned and arranged by children and volunteers together, the project gave the children tools and social network needed to enable integration.
The activities aimed at creating social inclusion and facilitate for unaccompanied minors, to meet people who are more established in the Swedish society, learn the language and how to navigate in their new context. The purpose of the project was also to connect the target group with other actors in society, such as sports clubs, civil society and the business sector. Local meeting places will also be created where refugee children will get adult support to reach their goals."
Now, these supposed 35,000 unaccompanied (no adult present accompanying them) children or youths, were arriving in 2015, so now it has been around 7 years, so if they arrived as teenagers, now they are likely to be adults as well.
These children were supposedly not accompanied by adults or family members, who may have remained behind in Syria or wherever.
Online, stories have been circulated about "social service kidnappings" but this doesn't really appear to be the case as far as I can find. Footage was circulated which was misleading, since it was showing incidents that were not related to child protective services and children being dealt with by them, one such video was that of a security guard attacking a child for example, and was proliferated as evidence of child services kidnapping a child or abusing a child.

Why would you hope that your enemy heals and isn't sad? Are you stupid or something? No, you should curse him and hope that he remains in sadness and never heals, because he is doing wrong, correct? What is wrong with you and your thinking? It seems to be upside down. Use your brain, and use it to wish ill upon your enemies, not "hope you heal", what kind of a foolish request is that? Do you hope that the Muslims "heal" so that they become stronger? Do you hope that the Muslims stop getting bombed and killed so that they spread upon the Earth? Then your wishes are certainly contrary to your cause, and that would be foolish and absurd, or perhaps you understand that your wishes are meaningless and ineffectual, so that you don't mind wishing for things that you know can never come true because you have no power to wish anything into existence? Otherwise, why are you wishing something like this against your enemy? You are wishing something destructive by wishing this, why would you try to harm and defeat your own cause and make your own work amount to nothing? Stop wishing foolish things Devendra Patel! Please! Be Careful What You Wish For!

@Bdawg. I think of comedy, particularly deliberate comedy, as inclusive of statements which are bluntly stated, bringing up comparisons that make someone look bad and having the information out or being blatantly bad seeming can induce laughter as well, sort of like how it might be considered comedic if a toupee (hair piece) is ripped off of someone's head by the wind or something, and exposes something which people didn't know suddenly and to the shame or embarrassment of the person (if they knew, and even if we see it but they don't know). So there is this type of "gotcha!" catching out and exposing type comedy, the comedy of characters or parties depicted as shamelessly corrupt or blatantly bad and obnoxious (it doesn't matter if it is true, I am talking about the nature of some types of comedic things or what might make the videos comedic). The manner and tone with which he speaks can also have a sarcastic and comedic appearance, and the things that are said as well.
Do you feel this channel is a threat in any way? I think it shouldn't be at this point.
Russel Brand is making videos, Some More News is comedy news, and even David Doel of The Rational National can often seem to be humorous and mocking, but in a much less formal manner, much more just like a person who is thinking or talking to themselves when they are joking around.

@Dasaanudasa108 I think he might have thought it was those types because in the cases of other hate crimes around the world these days, they are committed by non-Muslims against Muslims in the cases where Muslims are involved. I had heard of another killing thing related to Mosques and stuff, and that was a member of the Mosque, usually some kind of mentally ill person who is putting themselves in danger by committing crimes. Hindu radicals have been involved in some anti-Islamic type crimes and attacks in India, so maybe that is why it came to mind for him, but in Canada there was a recent case where an entire family of Muslims was walking across the street and were mowed down by the vehicle of a person deliberately, killing all of them except one little child, and that was counted as a hate-crime that was anti-Islamic and was committed by a white / Caucasian person who might have been a white supremacist or "Alt-Right" or "Far Right" type of person as well, but I think they were young.
I think it is possible the hate crimes against Muslims committed by Indian people happen more in India maybe, but in Canada there was a lot of reporting of Sikhs participating in gang related violence or shootings and having some sort of mafia. I don't think any of these people who are violent like this are genuinely religious, I think they are just criminals and crazy people no matter what religion they claim to be, but there are actual radical ideologies which some of these people espouse and use as excuses for their violence (and that includes some crazy radicals espousing Islamic claims, but also Hindus, Christians, Right Wing people, Communists, whateveR).

@mimzthebugmimz1752 The thing is, because of these sectarian sort of factions people build up between each other, they are missing out on having actual interactions and conversations with real individuals who are likely not just stereotypes or just one thing or their religions aren't making them this one very specific thing. They are people, they function like other people, and they and those against this one thing they are part of, born into, convert to, are not getting to know them, not allowing themselves to be known either, people are not interacting with each other, not speaking to each other respectfully over this one thing they keep in between themselves. So what I'm saying is, despite what Islam is or any of the religions or Atheism or homosexuality or whatever else people keep each other apart through, those are just one thing that stands in the way or which people let be such a big deal that they refuse to engage with people in a normal or decent manner, they refuse to see people as anything but stereotypes or weird enemies, so they miss out on finding out about people, talking to people, liking people, getting to know one another, finding out how people's mind's work, finding out about their individual tastes and interests, all that sort of thing.

@Earth Some of the newer or younger Wiccan, Witchcraft, Pagan, Neo-Pagan, Reconstructionist, and Theistic Satanist, and Satanist organizations, even some of those sort of "out there" like Joy of Satan have a particular interest and focus on anti-Islamic type posting and influencing all over the internet, they also sometimes seem to believe that all the thought and focus that Muslims put on what they claim is an un-real God they still fear is somehow creating some kind of an entity through the beliefs and intents of people, a kind of "thought form" and other ideas which are ultimately odd. What I wish they would do instead though is try to stop people who are actually influencing the world and living conditions for everyone, like people imposing a carbon limit so that people can only buy a certain amount of goods or who are squeezing ordinary people into tighter spaces with less ability to pay for basic goods for survival.

@Muzzamil Hussein Do you happen to have any knowledge or information regarding any kind of synthesis between Sufi Islam and Ladakhi or Tibetan or Buddhist culture and religion? Like was there any syncretism or mixture in beliefs that might also be lingering in the area or traditions that you are aware of? There certainly was some mixture in other regions where nominally Muslim or people practicing as Muslims in various regions or tribal areas in British controlled India (and prior) had syncretized or adopted and continued various practices and had certain beliefs which appeared to incorporate sanskrit or Hindu (Puranic / from the Puranas) ideas, others had Vedic ideas (from the Vedas) and in some regions in the North of Pakistan now they had ideas which were seemingly even older or more ancient, and had retained some of the things also which had been regionally popular, like at the times which Buddhism was in the region living along with other beliefs, as seen in coins and stuff, like the Greek influence and even older "Indo-European" sort of influence, which has the same roots as the Norse religion and Slavic beliefs of Ancient times. Similar to Tibetan as well, in that there was a lot of interest in or focus on wind and the use of wind. In these coins from Taxila and places like that, there was apparently "Oado" as one of the names of something possibly worshipped. I am very interested in all this sort of thing, so if you happen to have any information from your life, personal history, upbringing, I'd be very happy to hear about it all.
I had another very wonderful dream, even frightening, and in it, it seemed to in some ways possess Buddhist style ideas, since it involved angry, mistreated people who became spirits, and the course of a vengeful one of an evil character who, if killed in their life in order to stop them at that time, goes on to influence many horrors for hundreds of years and into the future. I thought it was a pretty interesting concept and dilemma.

@Muzzamil Hussein Thank you, this is regarding the name-change message and reply. Can you tell me more about Ladakhi tribes and your age and story and life growing up there over the years, what years you've spent around there, what life is like there and was like and is like now? I'm very interested, even in the ancient history, the Tibetan connection and ancestry, all of that. I had a dream the other day regarding Tibet and Tibetan things, possibly from around that region as well, I saw lots of various little backs of things that looked like spices but were being treated as if they were drugs or medicinal things, as well as lots of money hidden away in various places, like a shoe, it was quite interesting. So I'd be very happy to hear about the realities from the region, stories from the area, and also your connection to religions or how the Arabic name came along and all of that sort of thing, it really fascinates me a lot and is of great interest and rarely gets heard about online or anywhere, so I'd be very honored even if you were able to write to me more on all of that subject matter.

@untitled7184 Jews were taken to be a religion whenever mentioned as far as I'm aware, I doubt it would consider a Jew who defies everything in Judaism to still be a "Jew", or a Christian who defies everything in Christianity to be some "Christian ethnicity", I don't think that is a Qur'anic way of understanding how these words are used probably. It also says "the polytheists", is that taken to be the trait of every polytheist as an "ethnic polytheist"?
Then even the various Muslims who converted would be ethnically these things. The Qur'an actually has verses on ethnicity and colors and stuff like that, have you ever read those? I think it isn't important though. Is your objective here to try to prove to Muslims who are a multi-ethnic religion that their religion is racist so that because of their religion being demonstrated to be racist by mentioning Jews as hostile to Muslims, you will cause people to leave Islam for this reason. What are they to do then, become Jews or Atheists?
You mentioned something about "blackened" or something like that (or someone did, maybe a different person on shift), and were calling it "racist" but my comment was about how "blackness" or "blackening" is not inherently "racist" at all, for example if meat is cooked until it is "blackened" for example, or if a shade or shadow is upon a thing causing it to become darkened, and if a shadow upon a character is likened to an evilness or fear or concealment and threat related to a character, that also is not necessarily "racist".
Racism, like you seem to be aware of, has to do with claims that a certain ethnicity or race is superior to others inherently, it is a kind of hubristic way of thinking (see hubris, which is putting down others to heighten oneself). So, for example, if one were to say "Arabs are superior to non-Arabs" or "Ethnically Jewish people are superior to the Gentiles and the Nations that are Non-Jewish" or "Aryans are superior to all other people" this is racism. It is also racism to say "whoever have naturally, biologically darker skin, is more evil and stupid always",
but it is not racist to say "someone has darker skin than another person" or "someone with darker skin is less likely to get skin cancer", and it is not racist to say "a people standing in darkness, without light shining from them or upon them, is in this representation an evil bunch" because it has nothing to do with their race or genetics.
The idea that Jews are exclusively an ethnicity is not necessarily an understanding that the people writing the Qur'an (you should assume that it was written by ignorant people) even had. They believed that Jews could convert to Islam (and many did), and they believed that Jews could go to their Paradise even without converting to Islam, if they were decent people.
The Qur'an says "whether you are a Jew, Christian, whatever, if you believe in God and do good" and blah blah blah, you know, so it really didn't say any of what you're claiming, but why do you want to convince Muslims that it did say this? How would that help the Muslims to convince them to be even worse than they are?
Do you think they will be like "Oh no, we're racists, I guess I'll leave Islam?" no, but instead you might just end up convincing them to be racists, so that is a stupid plan isn't it? The idea should be to moderate and control these people and move them towards conduct we would prefer, not conduct we would not prefer, correct?
So anyway, I don't interpret mentioning Jews and mentioning them in a negative light, which even the Bible does, to be anything "ethnic specific" or inescapable due to ethnicity, they can become Christians or Polytheists or Muslims, then they cease to be Jews and the things that it says about those various factions or types or groups would apply to them, it didn't seem to have the notion that a Jew that converts to Christianity is still a Jew, or that a Jew that converts to Polytheism is still a Jew, or a Jew that becomes an Atheist is still a Jew, or that a Jew that becomes a Muslim is still a Jew.
Also, this idea about "ethnicity" and especially "race" is a rather new one in many ways, an anachronistic interpretation of things. These Muslims were largely "black" Arabs, very dark skinned, in the sun, how could they be Caucasian or white or even only "lightly tanned" in the Arabian sun with the reflection of the sand and their conditions? I imagine that the people dealing with the Qur'an itself, were quite dark skinned, practically African or Sudanese looking, the Egyptians were Sudanese looking, everyone was very "black" and most of the Qur'an is full of the darkest skinned people being talked about, that is why Moses "hand turning white" is something of interest for the imagination, it would be rather stupid and bland if it was imagined to be a white skinned man whose hand just appeared as white as it always was or slightly whiter. Kind of like the film "Gods of Egypt" where the "Gods" appear just slightly taller than regular men, but otherwise just appear to be regular men for the most part haha.
I think that the "hadiths" which you may really have read quite a bit from (as most people obsessed with Islam or threatened by it spend all their life reading those texts, which I think is a waste of life, especially for people who dislike Islam), were written in Persia and have a lot of inaccurate information, and that Persians and their population have lighter skins due to their atmosphere, and also Syrians and stuff like that, and that they are different from the Ethiopian looking or mixed, the Sudanese looking or mixed, the Bedouins of some types, the Yemenites, the very dark skinned people of East Africa and Saudia Arabia and South Arabia, who were out in the sun and receiving reflected sunlight, having dark pigment which is typical of very sunny and hot places in order to deal with and survive the light and heat. That is also why racists call them sand n*gg**s.
There are funny stories though that make Muhammed out to be a white skinned, naturally red headed ginger man, which is hilarious, maybe he died of skin cancer then lol.

@untitled7184 Yes, so what I'm thinking is that similar to saying "Jews are allying with Polytheists against Muslims", it might be similar to modern statements like "Zionists are assisting Hindus against Muslims". That isn't to say it is accurate, it is just to say that the ideas may not necessarily be "racist" since there may not have been these kinds of understandings of these groups as "races" which might be a more modern idea or otherwise might have been stated differently.
The Qur'an does say stuff about the bedouins and seems to speak of them as an ethnicity, but this may again be a modern or anachronistic misunderstanding, since today we consider these groups of the same ethnicity, and they may have been separated by their functions in society or jobs or way of life rather than their blood or ethnic background or race, which they may have shared with the non-bedouin populace, differentiated by their way of life and modes of habitation rather than their ethnicity or race.
The Qur'an says about "colors" or something that people were given various appearances and ways of life "so that you may know each other". It speaks of Jews and Christians, both seemingly as religions for the most part, and attributes to those, as well as polytheists, negative traits or statements and beliefs at times, beliefs which are said to be wrong and rejected, since Islam is trying to gain converts to the new religion perhaps.
I don't find it personally very racist overall, and I think there is a lot more ethnic supremacy type stuff more clearly in the Jewish and Christian writing, where it seems much more clearly ethnicity based and bloodline obsessed if one is to compare it to the Qur'an which barely discusses such matters and seems to place no importance in them, probably also because the people it is talking to.

5:82
Thou wilt surely find that, of all people, the most hostile to those who believe [in this divine writ] are the Jews as well as those who are bent on ascribing divinity to aught beside God; and thou wilt surely find that, of all people, they who say, "Behold, we are Christians," come closest to feeling affection for those who believe [in this divine writ]: this is so because there are priests and monks among them, and because these are not given to arrogance
This appears to be a self fulfilling prophecy perhaps, because it appears to be true at least today, doesn't it?

O Children of Israel! Remember My favours upon you and how I honoured you above the others.
3:33
Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Nuh, and (the) family (of) Ibrahim and (the) family (of) Imran over the worlds.
(Note the Qur'an says that Abraham was not a Yehudi / Jew)
3:110
YOU ARE indeed the best community that has ever been brought forth for [the good of] mankind: you enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and you believe in God. Now if the followers of earlier revelation had attained to [this kind of] faith, it would have been for their own good; [but only few] among them are believers, while most of them are iniquitous
9:29
Fight those who (do) not believe in Allah and not in the Day the Last, and not they make unlawful what has made unlawful Allah and His Messenger, and not they acknowledge (the) religion (of) the truth, from those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the reparation (from) willingly, while they (are) subdued.
98:6
Indeed, those who disbelieve from (the) People (of) the Book and the polytheists (will be) in (the) Fire (of) Hell abiding eternally therein. Those - they (are the) worst (of) the creatures.
So, what in these verses do you find particularly different from the way other religious scriptures discuss competitors or rivals?

@Muzzamil Hussein Yes, but at this point it instantly creates an association with people who would assume based on your displayed name and image that you are a Muslim, but is that the purpose of your name? It isn't your real name is it? Do you have a sanskrit name instead? A Hindu name from Ladakh or whatever? Personally, I would be shy about having a Muslim name anywhere, whether online or offline, fake or real, because it would feel like I was making myself a target. So if I had a Muslim name or at least too obvious of one, especially the last name or some name like Muhammed or whatever, I would change it to make my life better, depending on where I lived. I live in the West (Canada) so I'd make my name whatever type for the majority of people I deal with and would want them to think of me as their own and whatever is the highest group that gets the best results. So, similarly, I'd never want a Jewish name, or a name that might be spelled like an English language word which might get mocked, like Butt or Pew or Bangs or Farter or something.
So if I was living with Hindus or whatever, I might pick a name that would get me the best results with them, and I'd abandon any Muslim name if it was going to get me targeted, ridiculed, questioned, or harassed, or even given sideways looks from others.
Is Ananda a good Indian name? Even Anand. I'd want to find which group is most well-treated and admired, which is not attacked or mistreated or even robbed, but respected, and I'd go for that one's name types and cues.
For black or brown or very dark skin, that would be a problem, they can not rid themselves of it, and very white skinned or light skinned people might be targeted certain places too, but luckily they can wear things on their skin to darken their appearance so that they might not be harassed by people in public.
Wherever I go, I'd like not to stand out, but to still be treated well or the best.

@AM-gm5jg Thank you for taking the time to answer some of those questions I asked, they were not ill intended or meant to be hostile towards you at all. What Arab nation or nationality are they from? I was curious because I'd like to know more about their background and what sort of Islam these people were practicing maybe, like what their culture was and stuff. For you to become an Odin follower and worshipper is incredibly unique and rare, so it is very interesting. How do you pray to or worship Odin and what gave you the idea to do it in that fashion?
Is your name an Arab style name still and would you consider changing it entirely? What would you name yourself if you could name yourself anything?
Why are you still living with these people at the age of 25, and what age were you when you fought them and they finally accepted you?
Are you able to maybe get a job and leave their company so you can be under less tension about them? What of their practices and beliefs conflict with yours?
If you were to exchange the words in the Qur'an for terms you prefer, like the word Allah for Odin, the mention of thunder for Thor, putting in the Old Norse Terminology for certain words (or even creating a full translation in Old Norse), would you find the things the Qur'an says and describes (if you've read it and are familiar with it) to be similar or compatible with Norse religion?
So the different Arab groups, there are like Egyptians, Lebanese, Syrians, I'm interested in which nation or cultural group or nationality your family links themselves to or are from, are your parents first generation immigrants? Do you have siblings? What do they do?
The reason I'm interested is because you have such a unique and rare story as far as I can tell, I'm not so sure it is very common for people identifying themselves as Arab to be into Norse Religion or following Norse religion from the age of 14?
I'd love to hear about your journey, how you came to such conclusions, how you found Norse religion and read about it, what your favorite texts are.
This is of interest to me because I'm hugely into Norse religion, and it is a pleasure to hear from someone else who is into it thoroughly.

@kelanitweir4994 Feel free to mail me at theartismagistra at the g sort of email if you know which type I mean. A M has successfully figured out the mail and has mailed me as well, and I'd be very happy to discuss anything that you may be interested in. A lot of these people are so dedicated to their missions here that they just end up acting like robots basically, repeating things and copy pasting things and not really engaging with each other as people or having anything of interest to say or derive from one another. I am just an ordinary person with no agenda, and a curious person who is also creative, so I try to engage with people and have interesting discussions or learn about their thoughts and experiences and things like that, so that may be what you were intrigued by and noticed about me and my writing on here. I visit all types of videos, channels, websites, and I deal with all sorts of different kinds of art and media and topics. I'm often on a YouTube channel about toys called David Displays Model Behaviour or Displaying Model Behaviour, I check out cases discussed in a lighthearted manner by That Chapter, another YouTube channel, I sometimes look at news stories by The Rational National, or gossip by Philip DeFranco or Popcorned Planet. I watch films on YouTube or other websites or streaming formats. I enjoy the videos that CJ makes because he talks about things that a lot of people don't really often discuss these days, things that I feel are bad for all people, except people are giving in to these human rights abuses because the group being afflicted is considered a maligned "other" but really, the same freedoms that are being taken away are going to harm all the general public, and Islamic hatred, like the "new Jew", is just a way for Corporatists and Fascists / Authoritarians, for lack of better terms, are using to distract people and negatively impact their quality of life, to make lower standards and quality the new "norm".
I'm 35 years old turning 36 this year, and I like that CJ is doing something, because I think most people feel pretty helpless overall. I just want to live a quiet, happy life, while I can, for as long as I can, and not to be interfered with by governments or most worldly sort of things which I have little interest in overall.
I also enjoy finding "Lifetime" and "Television Movies" from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s and even up to date, for laughs and commentary. I enjoy shows like Law & Order SVU. Even though I have eclectic interests and read an unusually or uncommonly broad amount of materials covering a lot of ground, I think I'm pretty much just a person trying to be real and would hopefully never find myself caught up in the obsessions and illnesses that some of the people in these comments seem to be suffering, where they seem to dedicate their whole lives and all their time to stuff they oppose or dislike, which seems like a really weird way to go about living one's life.
