I’m a fairly secular Muslim: Ask me anything

[Byemelania]

I probably won’t know the answer but I’ll try

Cops is well used term by cops and public, I think op made a gentle retort to a post
Feds is what the kids say innit

Yes to alcohol, sex before marriage is fine but I always felt “guilty” about it in a Catholic kind of way I guess, how secular? Is there a measure? My family drink and smoke but then are also insanely closed minded at times. Not religious more cultural.

I'm just wondering why you want to start a post about Islam on Feminism & Women's Rights. You didn't give any context about your motivation in the original post.

In not on

@FrenchtoEnglish I think bans of this kind violate freedom of expression. It’s not for the state to decide who wears what.

@HecatesCats as mentioned I didn’t know there was an AMA section. Was just looking through the topics and this seemed like an alright place.

Op isn’t being provocative, I can’t see there’s a problem
Probably better in AMA but no harm done here

@Wonderrwall I think some friends judge but they wouldn’t tell me that. And no I don’t feel “accepted”, but I also wouldn’t feel too comfortable anywhere else.

I'm just asking questions as prompted. Don't necessarily think there is any harm, just wondering if it's been motivated by recent events? Current affairs, something in particular.

@SentientAndCognisant police nicknames are my favourite - cops, feds, 5-0, the filth, the old bill. Could be here all day!

@HecatesCats no motivation, just here with my baby hoping she stays asleep so I can sleep at some point tonight too. Having a chat INNIT

Thanks for responding OP

What is actually inside the Kabaa at Mecca? I think it is where Abraham found water and was a pre -Islamic religious sit? Also I have the idea that it may contain a meteorite and nothing can fly over it which is why there isn't an airport at Mecca .What is the Kabaa made of ? - I think it's wood under the black cloth? thanks.

the koran says it is OK for a man to beat his wife, why would any woman want to be in that religion?

Is Santa really coming down the chimney?

@Escapeplanning I don’t think so this year because of coronavirus. Santa is cancelled

Ahh yes I like the slang names for coopers to
My mates who are coppers they use copper as term
Feds is to ohh ahh for me and too street innit

Do you work? If so, do you feel your ethnicity has hindered your career progression at all? Or indeed the opposite, and helped?

@zanahoria does it say that? Do any other religious texts say it or only the Koran? Like I said, I don’t know many answers :)

@tara66 google is your friend, but it’s definitely not wood.

Ahh no, Santa is a key worker. He’s not cancelled . He can still travel and make home visits

Have they sacked all the U.K. cops?

@SentientAndCognisant I think the filth is just so delicious. Pigs is a bit too obvious

@MrsSpringfield I do work, my ethnicity has not helped. There is a lot of discrimination in this here England

@SentientAndCognisant that is true! 🎅🏽
