I think the element that makes Islam so successful, in the Arab world at least, is that it isn’t a reading culture. There’s no bedtime stories, no trips to the local public library-love of reading isn’t instilled in children (#NotAll). They’re encouraged to read just one book /1

I was raised in lebanon, my father a shaikh and mom holds a PHD in islamic studies and finance. I memorized 80% of the quran by the age of 13; i read half of our home library around 300-400 books. Actually, i appreciate all this reading that with a drop of logic, magic happened.

Ya, my experience was similar. My mom was a student at Al Azhar. Everything was very black and white, so one inconsistency is all it took for it all to come tumbling down. Do they know you’re not Muslim? How did they react?
