Why I'm here: a Muslim. My Philosophy in life. What is yours;Muslim?

[WinterHold]

I saw the topic of  Christian-only why-we're-here discussion 
and thought about giving an explanation and a story for my presence here, its reasons and my goals.

Other Muslim members can dearly explain why they're here; too.

I'm a Muslim individual living in the Middle East; I saw lots of failure and negativity on a cultural scale that led me from my youth to look to the outside for everything: from entertainment to language, of course I wasn't alone in this: most of my region is just like that.
Lifestyle becomes a mixture of religious practices, customs and habits imported from the outside, all I can say is that where I grew up there is no culture, what is there is the remains of what was once a culture, mixed with different religious affiliations.


Islam has no command center or a single leader; since the fall of the Ottoman Empire after World War 1, Muslims have been a defeated nation that holds so much anger alongside the bitterness of defeat. Nobody is more broken than a Muslim if you studied us carefully. It's an inferiority complex in its purest form: and inferiority complexes are usually masked by a thick layer of superiority complex.

Though; a broken person will be used. It's a must; who sees a broken person and resist the temptation of using them? you need to be a very good person not to use them, so a broken person will be used. And the defeated Muslims got used, sometimes by their own free will, sometimes by the hands of their own kin, sometimes by the hands of outsiders.

The religious institution though -in both its Sunni and Shiite forms- was one of the biggest abusers of the local populations: oppressing women, working as cutthroats for the local dictators and subduing the local population through drugging it with religious opium.

I'm here to change what outsiders think about the Middle East. I'm here to throw my hand against the dictators of my regions, and the religious institutions of the Middle East, and show people what the Quran really said.

Even if you had 100% accurate views of the Quran, no one should take you as representative of Quran or a means to understand God's book and miracle and proof of his path.

But this includes everyone who doesn't have proof from God. 

I have no right to claim people should center their attention to me and I will guide them for example.

Anyone who relies on other then God and his rope for guidance will be misguided.

Even this statements,  I am not an authority regarding them nor the means to be relied on for them to be proven.

I'm here because I am addicted to chatting online. It's a useless thing I've done for too long.

Wisdom comes through silence, not chatting and debating all the time.

Thanks Atlas. I was disappointed that the other theists weren't invited into that thread so it's good to see a new thread starting for the non-christian theists. It would certainly have made the thread more interesting and have broken up their echo chamber.

A laudable goal.  Do you think you've done much to accomplish it?

You're welcome Mathilda; I also hoped if the motives of all theists were shared in the topic, it's interesting to know the motives of each, for the sake of the curiosity that killed the cat.

Proper chatting involves silence, anyways. They are mutually inclusive
