Her answers are almost the exact same of my ex gf who was a Christian.

It's good to see an average Muslim talking about her faith since I am used to just seeing Dawahgoons yelling about how Atheists have no morals on YT. She is far more genuine and willing to consider what the interviewer has to say than just ignoring it and coming back with some bullshit about linguistic inimitability.

I don't understand why religious people always seem to say they are 100% sure in their beliefs whether they are Christian, Muslim, or Mormon. Heck, I am pretty much never 100% sure of anything, even many mundane things that I take for granted will happen. But when it comes to an invisible being that can't be tested or demonstrated, I guess it is considered a virtue to act absolutely certain?

The Allah she has is very similar to the Jesus of some modern Christians. She said she was making up her own prayers - is that allowed in Islam? Would the next step be pentecostal Islam, singing in the spirit?

Islam basically seems a theology light god idea - simple logical one god.

Why not the simpler version - no gods?
