muhsin hendricks: "Sodomy according to the Qu'ranic rendition of the Sodom & Gomorrah story is male to male *rape*, involving power and humiliation. This is not fitrah, it is a choice."

me: i can't believe the idea that people choose to rape other people is a revolutionary idea. where are these dumbass scholars thinking it's fitrah

legit considering dropping this at the 20% mark if it doesn't get any better... so far a shit ton of ableism, MC thinks owning an island is a Burden, and internalized misogyny abound
