liberal muslims lowkey don’t know shit about their religion, its no wonder they think its so great. 

this one time i was seeing a muslim therapist, she was very liberal, and i was ranting about my shitty home life and my extremely controlling parents, and she said something along the lines of “keep working hard in school, go to college, and maybe eventually you can move out.” 

she actually pushed me to think about moving out someday, while unwed, from my parents home. I looked at her in shock for a moment, then i brought up how thats forbidden in islam for a girl to do that, she has to be under the watch of a male relative her whole life. 

and she just got this blank face, like she had never heard of this before. She asked me where i heard this from. And i said the imam of the masjid, hadith, etc. And she went on with her mental gymnastics, talking about how no ones perfect and imams make things up themselves sometimes, and hadith can be misinterpreted. 

my mom made me stop seeing her after a while after she tried to talk to her to let me work and drive and maybe have some more freedom.
