FAQs
1. Is this site anti-Muslim?
No, this site is not anti-Muslim. It is important to distinguish between critiquing an ideology and attacking individuals who follow it. This platform critiques Islamic teachings, practices, and history—not the people who identify as Muslims.
We believe in respecting individuals and their right to practice their faith while maintaining the freedom to challenge and discuss the ideas they hold. The goal is to foster dialogue, understanding, and critical thought, not to spread hate or discrimination.
2. Why critique Islam specifically?
Islam is one of the most influential and fastest-growing religions in the world, with teachings that profoundly shape the lives of billions. However, its doctrines and practices also raise significant questions about freedom, human rights, and the compatibility of its principles with modern values.
As someone who has left Islam, critiquing it is both a personal and intellectual endeavor. By focusing on Islam, this site seeks to provide insight into a worldview that is often shielded from scrutiny due to cultural sensitivities or fear of backlash.
Every ideology, including religions, should be open to critical examination. Islam is no exception, and critiquing it is not an act of targeting but a call for understanding, reform, and progress.
3. What’s the difference between critiquing ideas and hating people?
Critiquing ideas involves analyzing, questioning, and discussing beliefs, doctrines, or practices to understand their validity, implications, and impact. It is rooted in intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of truth.
Hating people, on the other hand, involves prejudice, hostility, or discrimination against individuals based on their identity or beliefs. This site condemns such behavior.
Our focus is on ideas, not individuals. Muslims, like everyone else, deserve respect, dignity, and the freedom to believe or not believe as they choose. Critiquing Islam as an ideology does not diminish the humanity or worth of those who follow it.
