Hello everyone,
Just to warn you this feels like a rant post but i will try to make it coherent. A little about myself: I was born muslim in an arab country and now I'm atheist after living abroad in a western country for 14+ years.
This topic is about Islam and Arabs. As with any religion, it spawned because people needed it at the time for whatever reasons. However, all muslim&arab majority countries seem to have failed relative to other secular non-muslim countries. I'm going to point out some arab hypocrisy.
Islam emphasis education and work ethic:
Islam emphasizes cleanliness:
This one is interesting because arabs preach cleanliness and are complete germaphobes BUT still live a "dirty" lifestyle. For example, anyone invited in your home will keep his shoes on. The extreme fear of germs and use of cleaning products weaken the developing immune system of children. It is also interesting to see the public washrooms extremely filthy. The point they preach cleanliness and are OCD about it... but somehow everything is still dirty.
The prophet Mohammed and his marriages:
The prophet married several women. He was mostly doing it to set a good example: marry a widow (everyone at the time wanted a virgin). Married an poor woman. Of course there is the controversial Aisha but I'm not even touching that topic. My point is, this arab culture is obsessed with virgins. Many would not even marry a woman unless she is a virgin, so good luck if a wife gets divorced.
Single male mentality towards western women:
-would get with western women for a work-visa.
-think all western women have revolving doors of a vagina.
-would sleep with a western woman and lead her on, only to dump her in the end and marry a virgin. Google egyptian men liars.
Drugs:
Depending on the country you might get executed, unless you are a tobacco addict that gets the shakes when going through withdrawal after not smoking for 30 mins.
Negative traits of Arabs:
-conspiracy theorist
-always blaming others
-extremely annoying/possessive
Summary:
The religion isn't all bad, it was bought to the region to improve things for the people but it fell short. For example, one of its aims was to improve rights for women but lets see how that worked out today. The faith is not bad from a general point of view, but its followers are garbage at the moment. Many arabs/muslims travel or live in western countries say that these countries are more "islamic" than back home. It is just that the hypocrisy really got to me. I hate this place and the people. How I long to travel back to the west
.
Another fact that I hate: The religious indoctrination here is around the clock. It doesn't give you enough thinking space to leave the faith. But perhaps that is the point.

Islam emphasis education and work ethic:
- It is said that a person that provides for a person that prays all day gains more deeds than the latter.
- The first word/sentence in the Quran emphases education: “Proclaim (or Read) In the name of your Lord and Cherisher, Who created…” 96:1
- There is a phrase: who taught me a word, I became [his/her] slave. Again emphasizing education.
