Last night I was talking to my friends about this issue. One of them said that all religions to some degree have asshat followers that use violence upon non-believers. He talked about Christianity as an example of a religion that has inflicted violence and pain on many people. I agreed with him but I said now the problem is Islam. Christianity has kind of been checked but Islam hasn't. I don't know much about other religions but Islam internalizes xenophobia. It teaches its followers to be kind to one another but violent against non-believers. Believe it or not this is actually a verse of the Quran. One other factor that plays an important part in this issue is that Muslim countries mostly haven't developed much in the past few centuries. They had a golden age but now they're mostly Third World poverty stricken countries. Some of them want to bring back that glory to their religion but they want a society according to Islamic laws - something which most people in today's world won't accept. This might make them feel angry towards others that they believe are in their way. Unlike some religions, Islam is very political. Perhaps the most political of all. It encourages its followers to martyrdom for the sake of establishing a Islamic society. The Quran is full of verses which promises heaven to those martyred in Allah's name and way. These highly political teachings deteriorates the situation.

What's a typical weeknight dinner for you? Here's a stir fry I made: https://i.imgur.com/ja17q84.jpg
Looks delicious. I really hate to spend time on making food for myself. I either order something or eat a would-be breakfast as dinner. For instance if I'm too lazy, which I usually am, I eat cheese and date with bread accompanying a cup of tea. I don't know why I haven't died of malnutrition yet!
Probably 5. It hasn't had a significant impact on my social life. I'm not much of an extrovert that goes out every weekend and has fun with friends. The Coronavirus impacted my working environment though. It's like 9 months since I started working from home. I think now I'm used to this situation. However I sometimes go to the office and work alone in quiet! I like it tbh! The office is near my apartment; A mere 15 minute walk is all I have to do to get to the office.

What are things that you usally buy when you go to the grocery store?
Gold price. The Iranian rial is losing its value day by day so it's not a good idea to let your savings sit in the bank. The other day, before the US presidential debate, I was dubious about buying some gold to save the value of what I've earned. Unfortunately I purchased some gold after the debate when the price of gold had gone up by about 3-4% in my country. However, I think it will be worth it in the long run.

If you saw a mother or a father beating her/his kid (10 years old maybe) severely in the middle of the street, how would you react? What do you think?
Assuming living in the civilized world, I'd call the police 'cause I'm not physically capable of stopping the callous parent.
P.S: In my childhood I've seen lots of parents beating their kid in the street. It was kind of a norm in this shithole. I myself even got beaten by my father in the street.
