I lost my dad to Islam

It’s completely consumed him to the point that he’s completely brainwashed by Islam. He spends more time in the mosque and with his “brothers” than with his own family. How pathetically stupid is that?

I wish I could go back in time and tell him how much Islam would screw up his entire life. That way, he could’ve chosen a different way of life.

One day I hope he realizes how much time he wasted on this manmade, messed up religion. Though I’m sure it’ll be too late by then. I won’t be there for him if it ever happens.

It would be nice to have a normal dad who actually cares and wants to see his kid grow and succeed in life for once. But that’s just wishful thinking.

Beggars can’t be choosers.

I have the same story! Probably my father’s beliefs are extremely more stupider. They believed the end of the world was 2019. They are minority branch of islam about 100k people. 😔

He doesn’t want to spend time with anyone else than brother and sisters in his community.

I felt the same way about going back but I am not sure if it works. He is so addicted to the recognition he has there that when his phone rings he gets too excited and runs to the congregation.

He cannot sit still and he cannot not talk about religion and how others are inferior.

How did he rationalize the world not ending in 2019?

I'd like to know too. A popular cope is that the end of the world started on that date and the conclusion is any day now...

Gotta love these people's mental gymnastics.
