Tequila ummah: Alcohol in the Muslim world

[A1Kaid]

How many Muslim members here have tried alcohol? Of course if you don't mind sharing. Obviously, most of our Turkish members have drank those guys have a Qu'ran in one hand and a bottle of alcohol in the other (joking...)

What I find hypocritical and double-standard is how in Islam alcohol in this life is forbidden even in moderation but supposedly in the afterlife infinite amount of wine and alcohol is free-flowing and allowed for consumption...

Also didn't Prophet Isa drink wine when he supposedly converted water to wine, historically it was safer to drink wine during those times than water because water was unsafe for human consumption.

alcohol is halal

Of course I knew our Turkish members were more likely to drink alcohol is widely and legally available in Turkiye, so there is more exposure and more opportunities to drink, combine that with the less religiosity there.

Cant beleive Pakistanis at the bottom of the list ... or may be i am thinking its the expat drunkards pakistanis i know

I saw the whole Albania eating pirk and drinking beer...that doesnt make any of that halal....
Its same as saying i saw a mullah killing a man,that means murder is allowed in islam...

pirk??

What made me leave it was the lifestyle of the drinkers around. It doesnt lead you to a better environment. Besides, it is expensive. Drinking sourcherry juice is 0.50 $

People who drink socially often do it because it lets them loosen up and be more free and less shy, so they become more social and friendly with girls. I'm in Uni so you know alcohol is widely consumed at parties, girls are more loose and open to try things.

Start 5 times namaz and you will understand all this..
Although i dont know,you may already be doing that.

Used to. Stopped. It's a waste of money and a waste of life.


Instead of developing actual social skills, people just mask their insecurities through alcohol.

5 times namaz a day is a difficult schedule and regiment to live by. I use to pray only Jummah, but I don't even do that anymore as I'm falling out with the namaz not to mention I don't like the local masjid.

Exactly the point i was making..
Once you stop practicing,you stop understanding..
Thats why so many questions (no offense meant here.)
