I was born and raised Catholic (Western Belarusian and Irish parents) and I went through a once-a-week religious class, but never felt especially attached to Christianity. I became an atheist over time and have been going through difficulties currently and I find that I still have a faith deep down. I’m interested in Islam because I read a tiny bit of the Quran as a kid out of curiosity (during the height of Islamophobia in the US, George Bush, early Obama era) and found that it wasn’t “terrifying and inhumane” as Fox News would say on the TV set at my grandparents’ condo. What resources would you point to for a beginner/ on the fence person to learn about Islam? Thank you in advance.

      Muslims cannot tolerate anyone who disagree with them

      Generalizations like that do not help your argument at all. This gives straight up islamophobia. If you’d like to present some of the hundreds of reasons you have, that would be much more useful, even if biased.

      So you made an inflammatory comment that broke the rules of this community and got you banned and now proudly proclaim that you evaded your ban which was not given out by a Muslim admin.

      What did you expect would happen? Lemmygrad is not a soapbox for edgy atheists, and I’m an atheist too.
