Question: "How do you justify Imam Ali saying 'Women are naught but badness/sinfulness, and the worst is that there is no escape from them.'?"

Answer: "We're sure Hazrat was just kidding, ya know? Like in a 'Women are an annoyance/inconvenience that you can't live without' way, lol, right? We could translate شر as not evilness or sinfulness, just 'trouble' and 'inconvenience' haha. That makes it better, right? Like, I'm pretty sure women don't get mad at these jokes, ya know? Otherwise the whole Hadith would be questioned... WHICH IT SHOULDN'T."

I'm pretty sure all of you know quite well that I'm not one to use every opportunity to just shit on Islam and Muslims. I hate making my religious or societal trauma into a hateful act that becomes my entire personality and rips all sanity, reason and sense of empathy away from my mind.

But when I read some of these bullshit justifications for an inherently sexist and patriarchal Abrahamic religion, it makes my blood boil.

Black and Violet is the superior color combo and nobody can convince me otherwise 💜🖤

colors look a lot better in this lighting 👀

"Razors pain you,
rivers are damp.
Acid stains you,
drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren't lawful,
nooses give.
Gas smells awful,
you might as well live."

Somewhere along the way, I stopped counting the times I got drunk or came home late.

I wanna know who's allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
Missionary politicians
And the cops of the new religion

A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside

listening to this track while being squished to death in the godforsaken BRT seems fitting
