          He converted in 2022 to boost his standing in Dubai with crypto traders

          The funny thing is, Muslims will absolutely discipline their own, and most tend to not like abuse of women, especially how Tate does it. There’s morally allowed abuses of women in some sects, but they have to be seen as justified in some regard - eg rejecting a MARRIAGE proposal might result in an acid attack. A man preying on women to sleep with him, no marriage, like how Tate does it and speaks about it, goes against everything I’m aware of in the Quran and could result in a jihad response afaik (not violent jihad per se).

          He’s just so disrespectful and arrogant he thinks no one will touch him.

          I assume he’s about as much a Muslim as trump is a Christian (ie only when it’s convenient, and he probably doesn’t know what all those words mean in that order, anyway)

          He said he reverted in prison a few years ago but lately started dropping the act. Now that he is out of prison he will likely drop it.

      Right wingers are starting to act non/anti-christian more prominently from power, it seems. So Babylon bee has material from the right to make fun of. Or maybe not, it kind of always existed, now thinking.

        Idk, I always felt that there was a conservative slant to the bee. It’s never there 100% of the time, but it’s kinda like if the Onion was written by a bunch of bootlickers.

      If you go to their site this is definitely the exception and not the rule. The rest of the articles today are bashing Zelensky.

    • I mean look at all the fake-ass christians infecting the world, is it so hard to believe that there are plenty of fake-ass muslims too? I was friends with a Palestinian/Jordanian guy and he told me it was commonplace in Jordan to have a group of men drinking tea at a cafe, except the tea pot was full of liquor. I don’t know if it was meant to hide it from other people, hide it from god, or both.

        I mean. The only place to get alcohol past midnight in the Canadian town I grew up in was an all night tea house. But we were just trying to hide it from the cops.
