Fantastic awareness, nonetheless, most books on or about Islam written for an academic or histiographic understanding are written by orientalist, itself a culturally biased and political interpretation of Islam.
Hence the apparent complexity.
In reality, Islam is very simple.
Please indulge me, guess.
No laugh is worth paying attention to pedophiles, murderers and thieves, or their election. You and Lopp keep getting past my filters, i might just have to block until novemver 6th. Nothing personal.
They don't like when sholars call them Syncretic, but it's literally in their official history that the Brahmin cast was hiding the Vedic writtings from the other casts, and they went in and opened it up for everyone, removing it as a source of control. So if it appears like it's a mixture and vague, that's on purpose. No one can define 'God" .
Yeah...well i don't know who that is, but it's a cultural thing. Islam calls practices like that Jahaleia, practices from the time before the Prophet. For example, it was and is common practice in resource restricted societies to bury baby girls. They do this in the Amazon still.
Islam put an end to that in the arabian peninsula and Islamic lands beyond, completely.
Many of the restrictive laws you feel are against women, are part of a system to take care of them and into old age in a more organic way then the welfare state. The veil does not need to be worn around family/household members, just as in general non muslim women do not go outside in their underwear, but might around their kids and husband.
It's not viewed as oppresive from within the society, but a clear distinction of roles and family/public realms. Why ? Because family is very important and explicitly organized. Male/ Female needs are met in a fair and organic way, in line with human psychology and biology. The entire point of Sharia.
Something like women being forced to do porn or work office jobs and never have children from a lack of obligated male family support, in non muslims lands, is viewed as oppresion. Oppresion of the Human being.
If you understand Islam so well, what is the one thing that differentiates it from any other religion, its unique claim ?
Fgm is not an Islamic practice.
Lololo , yeah...just ignore Algeria, Iraq, Afghanistan, on and on...
Lebanon was ~60% Christian ~50yrs ago...
Today?
Since 2000, 62,000 Christians in Nigeria have been murdered in genocide perpetrated by Islamist jihadist groups including Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and Fulani militias.

Ignoring "democracy" is a legitimate sanity strategy. I have a filter on Amethyst for all of it except the word "debate" apparently.
Yes, but you can carry your identity with you in ways you can't with twitter or the rest of walled garden en-shittification-land.
So, to your point you own your ident, on nostr.
And they all start with N
Physical violence is really bad, it breaks the NAP, especially towards friends and family nice enough to play hand games with you.
They will demonize it, Start posting Child porn and drugs , so that then they can lie about it. Same throughout history
To be honest, whatvi think happpened was, when i replied, your avatar was slow to load. It just looked like a random robot and npub. It's been happening a lot lately. So to me, it appeares in a feed along with other peoples serious posts. So it was not obvious to me. I usually get your sarcasm, dead babies ect, but all comedians have bad landings.
Absolutely. There should be a relay dedicated just to this and other important works , that we can support with zaps
Nostr does not need to be mainstream. Usenet and xmpp are still very active and alive.
All nostr needs is an obsessive community and data hoarders that is willing to pay, support and improve it in response to changing technology.
Entenched obscurity is actually very usefull for Archives. Look at the Vatican hidden libraries.
Have you considered that you are not funny and that's why? 😂
