What scares you about the future?

Why would make the same mistake again that brought the Somali nation on its knees? You can build a strong and rich country, do you know how much power you can have by being a rich country who's trading and doing business with other nations? We have the biggest coast line in Africa and can potentially supply Ethiopia from our shores with goods, do you know how much power this will give the Somali nation?

You live in a la la land I prefer to starve Ethiopia by totally blocking them from the sea

Atheism means you don't believe in the existence of god.
Agnostic means you believe in god but you do not know which/do not follow any organised religion.

There's no such thing as an Agnostic Atheist. You either believe in the existence of god or you don't.

Then you're more of an agnostic than an atheist, the ones I know don't believe in anything.. Anyway if you don't mind me asking weren't you brought up as a Muslim by your family or did you grow up in an foster care home with gaalo parents or the like? Again you don't need to answer if it is too personal.

Well my plan is more realistic than you starting an entire nation, that consists of 50% Muslims.. I think you are blinded by hate.

AI putting gaalos out of work. There's a correlation between economic hardship and facism. It's gna be Wiemer Republic 2.0 once cadaans start getting sacked en mass from their shitty unskilled admin jobs. All those "Refugees welcome" middle-class Lauras will start getting into race realism and other far-right shit if they can't afford their 0.7g of sniff/ketamine on the weekends

Ethiopia is not 50% Muslim, it’s roughly 30-35%.

Still that is many Muslims.

I am concerned about the future of Egypt's water security.

Egypt must prevail!!!!

We must destroy the dam!!!!!!!

but we'd have better electricity in the Horn. Egypt isn't our geopolitcal ally. The arab league is the most useless League.

There is a spectrum within atheism unlike religion there are many levels of atheism agnostic being one of them. Not all atheist believe in the same thing, since we're not organised religion.

Atheism isn't a spectrum. You believe in god or you do not. Atheism is the belief that there is no higher being/god.
Agnosticism is a spectrum

Malab sounds like someone who doesn't like religion because of the restrictions it brings but in the ultimate end she believes in a higher being.

I value my freedom the most @Idrus you can technically be both agnostic and atheist it doesn't contradict itself since both lack the belief of god. Anyway if you want to talk just message me instead because I don't want to derail @yasmeen thread.

As humans regardless of religious affiliation we are never truly free, if not religious restrictions then there are others we have to live by, so in a sense were never truly free.. With that said there aren't many who can or live 100% the restrictions their religion has set for them.. There literally all kind of Muslims, from masjid dwellers who never miss a salat to the sinners who are out every weekend to drink and sniff coke while clubbing.

nah, nah, whoever wrote that is wrong.

atheist means you actively believe God doesn't exist.

agnostic means you're not sure. but an agnostic might be 50/50 not sure or they might be 99% convinced that God doesn't exist. an atheist in theory is 100% but I don't think atheists actually exist.

I read an account for example of a Soviet WW2 soldier.... he was communist and I believe he was raised communist according to his account... and he was brought up to be atheist... but when he almost got killed in battle, he got scared and prayed! the book is called something like "for stalin! for the motherland"... something similar to that

Putting freedom at the center of everything is the essence of liberalism... everything is about "my personal freedom".... Islam and liberal mindset are inherently at odds.

In Islam, the ultimate value is Allah.

in liberal ideology, the ultimate value is "freedom". teaching people to value their own personal freedom over all other values... this leads to the destruction of the society and of morals but for the people who buy into this ideology, that doesn't really matter but their concern is their own personal gratification rather than the good of religion, society or any higher good. it's all about the individual with this ideology.

the reality is that freedom is not the ultimate good. freedom should be a means, not an end. "freedom to do what?" we should ask. freedom is good if it serves good aims, freedom is evil if it serves evil aims.

I understand, but even in a liberal society freedom is not absolute, you still have to follow and live by certain rules.

well from the standpoint of liberal ideology, this is because we are still in the process of building the liberal utopia. just like it's a process to reach "full communism," it's a process to reach full "liberal utopia".

there are still some barriers in the way. for example, the human fitrah, ancient ideals about morals, people still believing in religion.

but we went from "unfreedom" of society being more religious, men and women waiting until marriage to now we are reaching greater "progress" as children explore changing their gender, as children are exposed not only to sexuality but to all sorts of perverse sexuality, as zina becomes morewidespread, as things like onlyfans become more widespread, as more people forget about God and religion, as people lose their "repressive morals"....

so this march towards the "liberal utopia" is a process. liberal people commonly refer to it as "progress". if they have their way, soon we'll forget all about religion, our morals and we won't even know what gender we are.

 

[Omar del Sur]

even this idea that crime is something wrong, even this idea that violent crime is something wrong.... even this idea is being combatted in the march towards full satanism "freedom"... there have been numerous pushes to advance literal pro-crime policy and pro-criminal thinking... but this bit has a bit difficult to win people over to as people have this tendency to not like to be attacked by violent criminals

I live by a simple principle guided by the following hadith : ' اعمل لدنياك كأنك تعيش أبداً واعمل لآخرتك كأنك تموت غداً '

To paraphrase: 'Work for your world, as if you shall live forever, and work for your hereafter, as if you shall die on the morrow'.

Fret not about the future, for the certainly known is that the unknowns shall forever remain unbeknownst, as in '3alim al gayb', and worry not about the yesterdays, for one has no control over the past.

Nothing really, I am very happy with my life.

You can still be happy with your life and fear the future though.

As I grow older I realise that both the ups and downs in life are there to balance It, I am very privilleged

The weight of my privilege hits me like a truck.

I think about it to stay grounded.
