Ali Rizvi’s “The Atheist Muslim” Is What We Need For Moderate Muslims
I’ve always wanted to write more about moderate Muslims and express my great interest to that subtopic of Islam Reform. While I have created content in the past on the subject, the book we are about to discuss certainly gives the “necessary jolt” for me to discuss moderate Muslims in the West.
General Thoughts On The Atheist Muslim
I have recently finished an audiobook of “The Atheist Muslim” By Ali Rizvi.
The book is about a wide variety of things, but if I had to sum it up it is about the conflicting ideological struggles and identity crises in the Muslim world today.
The “Muslim world” in this case consists of the global population of Muslims, from minority diasporas in the western world to Muslim majority countries in the Middle East, South Asia, North Africa etc.
God’s Moral Inconsistencies When You Pray For Syrian Civilians
Bismillaahirrahmanirrahim
(In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Kind.)
Over the past few days in the Syrian conflict, the Syrian Government’s forces have become more aggressive in their attacks on the rebel forces in Aleppo. The plight of civilians these attacks have caused has caused global outrage. There are the theists who have asked everybody to #Prayforsyria because that somehow helps.

The Imaginary Friend of Faithful Muslims (Or Captor?)

As the oldest sibling there were a few years in my early childhood that I had nobody to play with. So I would run from one end of my parents’ apartment to the next fighting with my imaginary friends. Boy was I good at martial arts… in my own imagination of course.
We would play power Rangers. I would even lose the battle sometimes and “die.” This is all on home video footage and it’s a very cute memory. It certainly influences my imagination for the rest of my life and even today.
I was 2-5 years old. Click to continue reading!
Can the X Men Apocalypse Poster Actually Be Feminist?
A few months ago 20th Century Fox Productions was advertising X Men Apocalypse. The following image was an ad for the billboard.
The image shows Apocalypse, a powerful villain, choking Mystique.
As we can expect of today’s politically correct leftist climate, feminists were offended.
Feminists found this image too “problematic” because:
