Why do people raised under Islam never notice they’re part of a cult?
Since I escaped it, let me tell you about the facts they hide to keep you unaware and trapped in their cult.
Foundational Fact: there is no distinct word for “cult” in Arabic. In Arabic today a cult is translated as ta’ifah — “a group with a leader” or “a sect,” like Protestant or Catholic.
The “Age of Ignorance” story
From childhood they teach that life before Islam was Jahiliyyah — ignorance and wildness, nothing worth knowing. Civilization begins with Islam. Everything earlier is dismissed like the Stone Age. That framing is the first lock on the mind.
The fake Abrahamic claim
They tell you Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba and dedicated it to Allah, then pagan Arabs stole it. There is no historical record of Abraham in Mecca or of him building the Kaaba. The Abrahamic origin is asserted, never evidenced. Start questioning, see what happens!
The Kaaba itself
They never tell you it was a bayt-il — a house of gods. Pre-Islamic Arabs placed 360 deities inside it. They already called it Bayt Allah (House of Allah). Muslims still use the same name. Most Muslims never learn it was a pagan title first.
Allah
They hide that Allah was already a pagan high god, treated as father of the other Arabian gods, including daughters the Arabian pagans worshipped.
“Allahu Akbar”
Any Arabic speaker knows akbar means “greater,” not “greatest.” You grow up thinking it means “Allah is greater than this context/moment.” Pre-Islamic pagans used it to mean “Allah is greater than the other gods.” Muhammad’s grandfather is recorded saying it at Muhammad’s birth. The phrase is older than Islam, no one questions it.
The Black Stone
Pagan Arabs revered, touched, and kissed that stone. They treated it as sent from heaven and linked to Allah. The same acts continue. Islam forbade idol worship; the stone ritual stayed. They deny they are worshipping an object while performing the same emotional rites.
Circling the Kaaba
The tawaf — walking around the Kaaba — was a pagan circuit. They chanted pagan formulas. Islam kept the walk and changed the words so only Allah is named. The ritual predates Islam, Muslims are doing it today.
The hint of the Rainbow 🌈
The everyday Arabic word for rainbow is qaws Quzah — “the bow of Quzah.” Quzah was a pre-Islamic weather god. The name survived. The origin is not taught, most Muslims remain unaware.
So you live from birth as a hypnotized man-child who cannot imagine a world without Islam. Everything is Islam, Allah is Greater, and Muhammad was perfect.
Fear and obedience keep you submitted. You live and die without ever seeing that you were in a cult.
Muhammad’s rules:
Lick your fingers after you eat or have someone else lick them. Don’t wipe first. The blessing might be stuck to your hand.
Wipe yourself with an odd number of stones. Three, five, seven. Even numbers won’t do.
Satan sleeps in the upper part of your nose. When you wake up, blow him out three times.
Drink camel urine as medicine.
If a fly lands in your drink, dunk the whole thing in. One wing has the disease. The other has the cure.
These are not fringe rumours. They sit in the collections Sunni Islam treats as authentic.
Millions of Muslims do not treat this as a 7th century retarded idea.
They treat it as revelation from God. You can’t question it; you just have to obey it.
Once you start to question it, you have left the religion.
The question is not whether camel urine works.
It is whether you are allowed to say it doesn’t.
The real rule: follow without question.
That’s not a religion but a cult.
@IamM3mphis Bro I don't know if you re new to propfirm, but one way of getting your payout rejected is by making too much profits. I hope they pay you, but most likely they will not. The max I can make is 5k, and request for payout
The London-based Pakistani Islamist preacher and historian Adnan Rashid has sent a new message to local Christians: “We will rule, you pay jizya (Islamic tax) and you will have peace.”
His clip, published under the title “Christians Under Sharia: Peace or Persecution?”, presents the jizya system as evidence that Christians could live peacefully under historical Muslim governments.
Rashid argues that jizya has historically been a successful system in which tax is paid by non-Muslims to Muslim rulers in return for state protection.
@justanoze@SwanShapedBird@coinfessions@grok@grok is just lazy, Gemini answered.
After 3 wins, the account reaches $65,000 (below the target). The 4th win pushes the balance to $325,000, exceeding the $140,000 threshold.
@justanoze@SwanShapedBird@coinfessions@grok , with 1:4 rrr how many trades do I have to win in a row, risking 100% of the account to get to 140k from a 520 USD starting balance?
I was Governor of New York on September 11, 2001. The planes did not simply crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. They were hijacked and deliberately flown into those buildings by Islamist terrorists.
@Patriarchly@BProudPatriot It's sad but that's what you get, the leaders are a reflection of the People. If their leaders were so bad, they would have taken them out as power belongs to the people, but they are comfortable as it stands.
Before I left Islam, I was debating a Sudanese Christian who challenged me to name one good thing about Muhammad. Just one.
I thought: easy. We Muslims practically worship Muhammad as the greatest man who ever lived.
So I tried to recall good qualities, honesty, compassion, mercy, love, anything, any single story, and I couldn’t remember one.
So I went to Google and typed: “the qualities of the Prophet.”
Islamic websites came up, and I thought, good, now I’ll have plenty of examples for this guy.
I opened them and was stunned: even the Islamic websites offered no good qualities in the sense he’d challenged me to find.
They praised his courage in spreading Islam, his fighting of Allah’s enemies, his physical strength, and his strictness.
Not one of the qualities the man had asked for.
Even the famous mercy at Mecca, sparing the people who had supposedly persecuted him, turned out to be for strategic reasons.
And when I started digging into the Quran and the sira for myself, I found that he married a child, he took Safiyya, a Jewish woman, the same day he killed her father, her brother, and her husband, trading his companion Dihya seven other captives for her, and posting a guard by the tent in case she tried to avenge them while raping her.
He had the men of the Jewish tribe beheaded, down to boys checked for pubic hair.
He raided trade caravans and took other tribes’ treasures.
He lied and broke truces he asked for.
He slept with all of his 9 wives the same night.
He killed anyone who mocked him.
He recruited raiders with the promise of other cities’ women.
And when his own fighters hesitated to touch married captives, because their husbands were alive and watching, Muhammad told them it was fine because allah said so.
Even the pagans of Arabia had higher morality than he did.
Every one of these acts was stamped with Allah’s approval.
He even married his adopted son’s wife by divine decree.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I left Islam when I met this disgusting man, a man who turned his qualities into a religion, transmitted it to every generation of Muslims since, and made himself the ceiling of their morality.
This is the man Mamdani wants you to learn from.
