I’m a Religious Malay Muslim – AMA

I’ve been following this sub for a few years now, but I only recently started using Reddit more actively. From what I’ve observed, the sentiment towards religion here hasn’t been great, especially when it comes to Islam. I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions about the religion, and some political issues seem to have been conflated with the faith itself.

Because there’s a lack of representation from people like me, I think these misunderstandings have only deepened over time. That said, I don’t claim to speak for all religious people, but I hope my perspective can offer some insight into how 'conservatives' think. Honestly, I believe we have a lot more in common than the divisions these politicians like to emphasize.

In my experience, scocial media tend to amplify this divide instead of bridging it. Lmk if there’s anything you’d like to ask or discuss—I’m happy to share my perspective.

(btw im also 21 years old, so im quite uninformed on a lot of topics too, but oh well)
