For me it isnβt about money. Iβm autistic + I need a lot of space alone, crowds drive me insaneβ¦ so I guess Iβd move for the sake of my sanity, lol.

Well, then, if you've got the money, go for it. Head out to the sticks, as they saying goes.

Are you getting your deen back together, Muslimah?

I will always be culturally Muslim. It's hard to break free from religion a 100%, so I use some Islamic phrases with my friends who understand them. I don't see myself going back to any organised religion anytime soon. My bio profile in Arabic says I'm a Pagan, lol.

I used to hang with Muslims back in the 90's. Almost invariably, if you asked one of the brothers if they were gonna go to the masjid or do this or that and if they said "inshallah", it pretty much meant it wasn't going to happen lol... used to laugh about it

It is amusing. I would get mad as a kid when I asked my parents for something + they'd say inshallah, I would get so mad bc I knew it wasn't gonna happen.

Yeah, Turkey is right on the cusp between the ME and the West. Attaturk came in to power & did a massive secularization of Turkish society. But I have no idea what it's like there, now. Saddam was trying to secularize Iraq but I think all of that is gone now.
Iraq has pretty much been secular since the time it was a kingdom right until the 90s when Saddam had a mass campaign to spread religion. That aside, he has always been an atheist hiding behind Islam.
