The Beginning Of The End Of Islam? Atheism Explodes In Saudi Arabia! by TheBigUrban2: 6:28am On Jul 07, 2014 |
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — In this country known as the cradle of Islam, where religion gives legitimacy to the government and state-appointed clerics set rules for social behavior, a growing number of Saudis are privately declaring themselves atheists.

I've had some muslim sisters mail me in private to express their fears about what they might have to go through if they confess their crisis of faith. So this news is not really surprising. 2 Likes |

Praying 5X a day is a piece of work. Just imagine, there's absolutely no vacation. Even if a Muslim works in the middle of Times Square, he must still find somewhere to pray around that area. How can Allah be so inconsiderate? I don't think that atheism will succeed in Saudi Arabia though. The level of brainwashing is too profound. They have succeeded in making Islam inseparable from racial identity, like the Jews have with Judaism. There are Jewish atheists who are also rabbis and they consider their rabbinical duties to be a fulfillment of ethnic and racial responsibilities. 1 Like |

They watch American youths dancing in the streets in movies and yet the Arabian youth cant They watch Naruto....a japanese cartoon character that eats pork and is still a good guy They love watching models show off their dresses on the catwalk and yet the Arab youth cant dress like their fave models Some Arabian girls love football but are demotivated when they arent allowed to wear shorts and sports shirts to play. they have to wear burkhas |

The internet is killing religion everywhere and Saudi Arabia is not an exception. There's less poverty, disease and more personal security so people don't feel the need to call for supernatural help anymore. Knowledge is now freely available and everyone can clearly see how successful secular science has been and how little religion has achieved in comparison. And most of all, religious people have lost control of the conversation. They can no longer monologue endlessly without anyone challenging them. The internet has made it possible to call them out on their bullshît and expose just how weak all their arguments are. And this is just the beginning. Within the next 20 years, virtually everyone everywhere is going to have cheap internet access on cheap and powerful mobile devices. The generation that grows up in that environment is going to look at the mullahs and the pastors like they are crazy. We're already seeing young people in Europe and America abandoning religion in droves. As the older generation start to die off, the percentage of religious people is going to fall like a stone. The next few decades are going to be fun to watch. 2 Likes |

The funny thing is that many Saudi Arabian youth go to school in USA and Europe. Even some of those who dont go abroad, go to American universities in Saudi. Now, wouldnt they be asking themselves why they need education from the infidel? Why is it that with all their riches plus sharia, they still depend on the infidel westerners for intellectual activities and technology? 4 Likes |

Every organized religion will be a thing of the past at some point. The numbers of people who consider themselves to be religious,continues to drop around the world. The numbers of Christians in the UK have dropped by 30% Even the Buddist monks are struggling to keep followers. It is hard for to find new converts to any organized religious movements these days For Islam to attract young followers they would have to resort to things like rap music. Truth must be said; All Religions are false and their ends are near. 2 Likes |

TheBigUrban2: . I don't have problem with the news. Such a thing and more is expected in such an environment. I simply don't buy the title given to the thread. Its not fair. First, note that Saudi government is definitely not Islamic likewise most of the Arabian peninsula. They only use Islam as cover up. An Islamic government is one where Ulama (scholars) are the rulers and legislators under the banner of a supreme leader (Imam or khalifa). Monarchy is practice in saudi-arabia where a single family ruled for ages and the country was even named after the family, al-Saud . Scholars dare not say anything against the king or his kingdom. Besides the kind of "Islam" being practiced in Saudi is too protective of the kingdom's interest than freedom of thought, dialogue with wisdom and equality with justice that should be enjoyed by the people. "Islam" has been re-established there to be "traditional" rather than being a freedom way of life where people practice with understanding. Many arabs doesn't know the beauty and mercy of Islam. There is too much politics being hypocritically displayed as Islam - corruption among the nobles, brutal punishments for the poor; misinterpretation of "destiny and predestination" by the scholars to suit and cover up the corruption of the leaders (kings and nobles) .

AlBaqir: Based on the link you posted,I have a feeling that the new Emir of Kano is too intelligent / learned to be a muslim. He is most likely an Atheist privately. Atheism became a threat to the Saudis the moment they declared it an act of terrorism . That obviously tells the Imams are witnessing a change in beliefs of their blind followers. |

It is not just Islam that is dying, it is all religion that is being affected. And I see the religious intensity of southern Nigeria christians slowly waning as the competition among pastors for capturing new souls and retaining old ones continue to heat up just as the people are gradually wising up to the fact that their pastors are only interested in all the fleece they can get from the sheep along with some skin from the very unlucky ones that are too docile to resist or to stupid to even know that some skin is being harvested from their body along with their precious fleece that is supposed to keep them warm in the coming winter. 2 Likes |
