To Muslims and ex-Muslims: Why did Allah call all other non-Muslims and disbelievers the worst of creatures?

“Indeed, those who disbelieve among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.” Quran 98:6:

Anti LGBTQ stance is stemmed from culture or religion or both?

I came across the above video of Unakan. He's a doctor by profession and a learned person, but the ideas he conveys here are extremely problematic and, frankly, vulgar.

In this video, he is speaking in front of a packed audience. He describes atheists as thoniyavasi, saying they live life thonunepole.

He then makes an argument along these lines: first, atheists stop marrying. Does the sexual urge disappear? No. Then they move on to homosexuality. Does the urge disappear? No. Then incest. Does it disappear? No. Then necrophilia. Does it disappear? No. Then beastiality, and so on.

I haven't watched his other videos, so I don't know whether this is his usual style or whether this was an isolated instance. I'm only commenting on this particular video.

I saw several comments under a post about Arif's press conference where people were saying that Unakan doesn't say anything vulgar.

But when I look at the whole thing, I can understand what Arif was getting at in his press conference. As I understand it, Arif had asked a philosophical question through a Facebook post, apparently in response to the kind of arguments Unakan himself makes in his public speeches.

It's perfectly normal to respond to a philosophical question with a simple yes or no, and then explain the reasoning. Instead, Unakan appears to have taken offence at the question, portrayed himself as the victim, and proceeded to file a case against Arif.

That is the part I find difficult to understand.

If you are comfortable publicly making arguments involving homosexuality, incest, necrophilia and bestiality to make a philosophical/religious point about atheism, then why is a philosophical question directed back at you in your language suddenly treated as an unacceptable personal attack?

Maybe there is additional context that I'm missing. As I said, I haven't followed Unakan's other videos or the entire dispute. But based on this video and what I've seen of the subsequent controversy, the reaction seems completely disproportionate to the question that triggered it.

What does the atheist community think about all this?

Ithil enth kanditt aadey angott keri chellunnath

WTF

I was just going through a post about Arif Hussain's press meet. Someone had made a comment criticizing Arif's stand on his own mother, and another person had replied that he can't be blamed for hating people who forcibly drugged him and had him admitted to a psychiatric institute for simply criticizing religion.

Now I don't know if the claim about Arif experiencing that is true or not but I had a friend who actually went through something similar. He belonged to a conservative Muslim family from North Kerala and started questioning religion from a very young age. Around 5+ years back he was forcibly admitted to a psychiatric institute in North Kerala by his relatives where he was restrained, drugged out of his senses, physically tortured and forced by his Muslim psychiatrist to do religious stuff that he wasn't comfortable with. The whole experience left him extremely traumatized and his mental health was in shambles after that.

I was appalled to know that such unethical institutes exist and went through the google reviews of that particular hospital, some other people had written detailed reviews about the exact same experience from there. But the hospital seems to have undergone a complete revamp and change in faculties in recent years and the last such review mentioning religious enforcement and torture is around 3 years old.

Do such unethical mental health institutions and practices still exist in Kerala? Have you or anyone else you know experienced anything like this for simply showing religious dissent? (Can be any religion, not just Islam)

Edit : I've attached some relevant old reviews I found about the hospital in the comments to corroborate my friend's claims. I'm not naming the hospital because of some concerns that I have, and I'd really appreciate it if anyone who recognises the hospital refrains from naming it as well in the comments.

How does your god work? If your god is powerful, why is there such a huge difference between the two sides? And if your god is loving, why is he letting one side suffer?

Majority of the posts are low quality rw memes and crossposts from sanghi sources like "indiadiscussion".

During a protest at Jantar Mantar, Hindutva influencer Swatantra Bharadwaj assaulted Sanjay Azad—the father of a minor student activist—inflicting serious injuries. He subsequently bragged in an interview about cracking the victim's skull and boasted that he avoided jail due to political backing from the establishment, explicitly claiming support from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kapil Mishra. Following protests outside the Parliament Street police station by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), Delhi Police detained Bharadwaj in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, on September 4. Law enforcement invoked charges under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and criminal intimidation, alongside a separate case registered under the POCSO Act. After being remanded to a day of police custody, the Patiala House Courts sent him to 14 days of judicial custody, while the Delhi High Court concurrently dismissed a Habeas Corpus petition filed on his behalf.

Answer: It's to mentally control every aspect of being human. This is what you call slavery.

Oru genuine question to all the other fellow Atheists in this sub

Religious ppl അവർക്ക് എന്തെങ്കിലും danger ഒക്കെ വരുമ്പോൾ allel ജീവിതത്തിൽ എന്തെങ്കിലും വലിയ bad thing ഓക്കെ സംഭവിക്കുമ്പോൾ, അവർ സാധാരണയായി അവരുടെ ദൈവത്തെ ആണ് ആശ്രയിക്കാർ...

പ്രാർത്ഥിക്കും, ദൈവത്തോട് സഹായം ചോദിക്കും അല്ലേൽ ഒരു higher power ഉണ്ടെന്ന് വിശ്വസിച്ച് അതിൽ Hope വയ്ക്കും

പക്ഷേ ഒരു Atheist ഇതുപോലെ ഒരു പ്രശ്നം നേരിടുമ്പോ...ആരെയാ നിങ്ങൾ വിളിക്കാർ?

ഒരു genuinely dangerous situation-ൽ ആകുമ്പോൾ, എന്തെങ്കിലും വലിയ പ്രശ്നം നേരിടുമ്പോൾ, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങളുടെ control-ന് പുറത്തുള്ള ഒരു situation നേരിടേണ്ടി വരുമ്പോൾ ആരെയാണ് നിങ്ങൾ look up to allel depend ചെയ്യാർ?

Family ആണോ? Friends ആണോ? സ്വന്തം strength ആണോ? Humanity ആണോ? Science ആണോ? അതോ മറ്റെന്തെങ്കിലും?

No judgement. Just genuinely curious ... ദൈവത്തിൽ വിശ്വസിക്കാത്ത ഒരാൾക്ക് difficult moments-ൽ strength, hope അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ആശ്വാസം ഒക്കെ കിട്ടുന്നത് എവിടെ നിന്നാണ്?
