A few weeks back, I stumbled upon one of Ali Dawah's shorts where he was asked about the absence of perks for women in Jannah, and his response was pure comedy gold. He went on about how women supposedly have these mystical preferences that men just don't have. Men are more straightforward and less twisted like women according to him. Like, seriously? He rambled on about women liking purple or not liking purple, leaving us with the gem: "Allah left it for your own imagination, sisters." I couldn't help but picture gifting him a pink car as a token of appreciation for his enlightening insights. I mean, he wouldn't object, right?

I'm an ex-muslim for 3 yrs and evey Ramzan I end up hating Islam more..

[HassanRadwan]

Anonymous made some excellent points. Great stream 👍

These rational yougesters are the hope of the future and the token of a better world to live in. These young people are going to be the game changers. I really appreciate them.

[shatrohanlal]

I am very much elated to see that a number of young people all over the world are thinking about religions scientifically and critically. 🎉🎉

always enlightened listening to AA hosting guests. Always wanting to participate and share my story (as a grandparent to 4 grandkids), unfortunately time difference makes it untimely, having to wake up at 4 am over here.

Ms Anonymous, you're a wonderful woman with a brilliant intellect, big respect to you and a big hug to you. There's no reason that such a wonderful person as you should have low self-esteem. ❤

Miss anonymous.. May the universe be with you.. Zareen ❤

Dina's situation is heartbreaking T^T hearing it directly from a person hits different, the way he was her hero but now said the worst things to her 💔 I hate religion's potential for destruction of families

[yolande]

I admire your calmness and level-headedness.

[respectthefish]

Anonymous was amazing and I fully get it that she does not yet identify as an exMuslim, it's a process but it is apparent what direction she is going!! and in the best direction for herself!! 💓

[rizwanasabreenahoss]

Hi anni from bangladesh! Sending love to you. I hear you

[nyack]

Welp I actually aim to do intermittent on this whole ramadhan, but still drink black coffee and water tho. So far so good, my jeans ain't that tight anymore!!

[absobloodylute]

Hi there...
Ex Muslim from southeast asia here. To add on from what "Anonymous" mentioned in her last part, you might want to check out Dr.Jay Smith. I think his work is something. I also want to know your thoughts on his work as well.

How can you be an Ex-muslim if you are not totally leave the craziness of Islam.

As a person who is into philosophy (Kant 4ever), it's very interesting to listen to other people talk about stoicism, conscience, religion etc. Imho many 'ordinary' people think at least as well as many modern intellectuals (just try to listen to Slavoj Zizek or Reza Aslan for an hour and you'll see what I mean). Thanks all for the livestream.

I just finished listening to Black Bean. I'm lost. What was the point of his call? Perhaps he was too nervous to make any.

Also, i see the Christian and Hindu brigade is bcoz "enemy of my enemy" mentality reigns supreme n binds us all together just like it does in religious circles. Id like to pint them to The Atheist Experience, Himanshu Ka Lecture, Vimoh, Jimmy Snow, and other such channels to get an introspective of their respective religions. I also suggest the sane channels for sone of these alleged ex-Muslims (who really are anti-Muslims bcoz theres a difference between an deist vs anti-deist).

[xandrecarnes]

One question what will happen Iran in event similar to the French revolution I'm overthrow the Islamic regime more secular what will happen that happens r/exmuslims will do.

[dinkohrvat]

Hate Ramadan here in London . As christian we are subjected to all the garbage of this stupid observance

This stream was one of the best. If I had to choose a brave, I would pick the girl from Bangladesh, who while living in Bangladesh, still has the guts to renounce her faith. For that she is still taking the flak from her father. As she was trying to allude to the fact that Bangladesh is fast becoming Afghanistan, it is very difficult for her to be a non-believer.
@1:25:34, Anonymous said that she would still give charity (Zakat).... but to who ?? Can I become the recipient of that charity? Muslims scholars say, the recipients have to be Muslims or who is showing signs of becoming
