[hamodalbatal]

Ex-Muslim here, I was put in Jail for 9 months, expelled out of my university, lost my job and suffered a lot me and my family for simply questioning Islam, after getting out of the jail I fled my country and publicly announced leaving Islam, to this very day I receive Dth threats.

[blessssssss]

the whole “you might feel like you were being discriminated against as a woman and denied equal rights, but believe me it’s for your own benefit” energy coming from Jad is CRAZY

[courtneystokes]

I am not Muslim but I have seen and heard from Muslim women being forced to wear it either husband or father.
It’s a choice for some not all.

[Unakuthevaiilla]

No matter what religion it is, if you force it, the person will end up hating it.

[BroJo]

"Kafir" means disbeliever in Arabic and seeing an ex-Muslim using it as a pseudonym had me cackle.

[idkidkidkidkidcidc]

"Women can't do the call of prayer because you can get attracted to a woman's voice" oh men are so odd.

[LovelyAngel.]

The fact that during the argument about women being seen as equal the moderator had to step in and ask for women's opinion is so telling 😂

[CaptainObvious]

"islam comes from a feminist place" - I almost died laughing

[megangosiak]

Brainwash literally means being told what you believe and not being able to question it.
It can happen in all religions.

[LuaLaustak]

If you’re feeling sexually provoking feelings at someone’s plain voice no matter what gender I think that’s called hypersexual disorder, hope this info helps!

[saraa]

As a woman, I would never wanna be in a room with Jad

[Aight]

The guy in the "weird" mask is the sweetest son a mum would ask for... So thoughtful and full of love. Considerate and humble.

[alfie]

The justification of taking away women’s rights in order to “protect them” rather than reprimanding the men who do harm and teaching them not to do harm.

Telling someone that they are being protected and that’s why their rights need to be stripped away. It’s incredibly dystopian and dark.

[Laura.daye]

I just wanted to add: not questioning your beliefs is exactly what leads to extremism. This is true for any religion and also for atheists in terms of political views.

[DUTVOstudio]

Im a malaysian ex muslim and there is a saying in the ex muslim community
'muslim reads the quran
ex muslim understands the quran'

[SomethingSomethingg]

I would argue that this should have been done in a Muslim country, but then I remembered that it's impossible to do this in a Muslim country.

[lauren]

The “I can have 4 wives and we would all know who the father is if I impregnate them, but if a woman has 4 husbands we won’t know who impregnated them??” Is so incredibly odd. The ex-Muslim’s guy’s face when he was saying that exactly summed up my thoughts on it, like dude WTF??

[danger.snakes]

the guy isn't literally named Kafir, he calls himself that to hide his identity, and clearly has a sense of irony

[SnowGhost-xp]

“i know its outdated but i choose not to question it cus im a muslim” 💯💀bruhh 31:42…you see where the problem comes from??

[ngelicbeing]

the way they Completely ignored the slavery points was so blatant and made it even more uncomfortable.. i appreciate kafir for bringing it up and atia for at least Trying to aknowledge it
