RE: Saving Atheists at Risk in Islamic Countries 🏃🕌

in #threespeak5 years ago

It's so sad to know that atheist face so many harsh treatments not only in Islamic countries but many other countries around the world simply because of their decision. As much as I detest any sort of hate and wrong treatment towards an atheist or anyone who has a different belief from the majority, I think we the minority also put ourselves in so much risks. We know the outcome of being different in some countries but still yet, we go out openly to announce our choices without back up. I had seen a photo of an atheist holding a paper saying "atheistrepublic" in an Islamic gathering, not just any gathering but the acclaimed holiest land for Muslims "The Kaabah". This is a big deal for the atheist community but this person put herself in so much risks that if she was caught, she wouldn't be alive today to tell the story. Luckily for her, she wrote that in English and not Arabic. My point is, no one needs to know your faith when you're not sure of your security. Even if there has to be a propaganda or announcement, this should be done privately and among trusted fellows. Islamic countries detest other religions and some acts are totally frowned at (e.g LGBT) regardless of the status of the person involved. When you are in a society that allows and tolerates being different, we can go all out and talk about our choices and belief openly.

And as for Western Union, I don't still understand why anyone would have to go through so much stress to send or receive money in this cryptocurrency generation. Western Union and liquid cash are our past, Cryptocurrency is the future.

Some people care more about their freedom of expression than their security, but for the people that don't, they should know (a be informed) that speaking out can place their security in serious jeopardy 👍
