It's surprising to see how many people don't know what Jihad even is.

9/11

car bombings

ISIS in the late 2000s

You'll be surprised to learn that none of these things fall under Jihad. I kindly request you do a little bit of research.

can you say the same

Yes, I can. But I suppose you won’t agree anyways? Either way, it’s all good.

Reading your comment, I understand that I cannot clear up the various misconceptions (that I perceive) you have, which seem to be the result of complicated external factors and have deep emotional roots.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Allah knows best.

It looks like you have a lack of understanding of what Jihad even is, as well as the application of Jihad in war.

For example, take this:

killing innocent and children killing the infidel

Both of these comments wildly contradict Islamic doctrine as accepted by the majority of Muslims - lose the bias for a second and do a bit of research; you’ll see what I mean.

Additionally,

imaginary friend Allah

It’s quite rude to start throwing insults at basically everyone who believes in God based on your own misconceptions, or even otherwise. A level-headed discussion where insults don’t start randomly getting thrown around would do far better for everyone here.

Mostly the costumes.

my mom and a bunch of other people

People who aren't very close to you are one thing, but wouldn't your mom of all people be wiling to install Signal or your preferred alternative?

I apologise if my opinion here (this ceremony being 'disgusting') came across as me finding it to be fact, because I didn't. My opinion here is one I consider sensible, and as such would find anyone disagreeing insane.

Perhaps you took this:

This was a horrible waste of money and time

Out of the context of being an opinion formed by me?

think you had an original thought

Much to the contrary. My thought is anything but original, and I'm far happier for it.

Additionally, being informed by the 'insecurities and beliefs' (as you say) one is raised with hardly makes one a slave to the world providing these 'insecurities and beliefs' - I would think that learning from lessons told is much smarter than trying to come up with stupid original thoughts.

Additionally, could you elaborate on what you mean by 'insecurities'?

Pretty cool, I might go.
