Do you find it weird that Muslims kiss the ka’aba? Do you find it weird that Muslims only clean themselves in the toilet with their right hand?
obviously not because when you grow up around it, it is normalised, which is why I specificially stated that it is strange to see as a spectator,
FYI kissing anything but the kaaba's black stone is considered bidah, but isnt enforced at the al-haram because I guess the Jewish government doesnt give a fuck because they are too busy raving in the cursed area,
and what muslims should be doing at the kaaba or other muslim practices compared to what surface level shit other religions of the same type do is pretty normal, (e.g. baptism, western wall)
washing your ass with your offhand is part of cleanliness, obviously nowadays that makes less sense to outsiders because of how widely accessible full hygiene is (even doe most countries still dont wash their ass with water till they have a shower), but for the time it made sense to be there to teach followers cleanliness,
look at miswak another cleanliness practice, people could find it weird if they look at is as someone chewing a branch, but obviously that is not the case as it is for cleanliness
And all of these have been set in place since Islam as religion came to be
Just because you find it “shocking” doesn’t mean its inauthentic. We aren’t destroying the Qur’an.
Ok cool I already know you arent destroying it wojack forum hafiz (mashallah)
And no I dont think its inauthentic because it is shocking, I think it is inauthentic because it is bidah
