NYC progressive mosque ?
Hey guys!! I’m a 25 F Afghan Muslim. I was wondering if there was a Muslim community that is more progressive / not judgmental. I have a lot of religious trauma that I’m still working through. It’s hard for me not to have a panic attack when I try to speak about Islam. I know Islam is not the problem, people/ culture are but that took many years ngl.
But enough trauma dumping. I see my Christian friends have a close bond that I can’t experience with them. I am very open and want close relationships with people who also love God but with Christians I can’t . Once they find out I’m not Christian they put a wall up, they probably don’t even notice it but obviously I do.
I’m looking for non judgmental progressive Muslims. I drink from time to time with my friends, I wear whatever other Americans wear, I rave (but only do edibles, anything else I haven’t/ don’t want to try).
I have a bf who is a revert but we both are traumatized from going to the mosque and being shamed so we avoid Muslims.
So yeah!! Looking for friends and hopefully a little community that is chill , doesn’t give judgmental auntie vibes, but also still want to be apart of Islam in our own walks of faith.
PSA , please don’t send any hate :’). If you don’t agree with this lifestyle that is okay. I am still finding my place please don’t force me :’)
