Moalfas got a reaction from Ali_Hussain in My thought on Biden's first day as President.
Biden is a proud Zionist as he's publicly stated on several occasions.
His top administration team are mostly Zionists:

Biden's offspring are married to Jews, I.e. he's a grandfather of Jewish children.
Kamala's husband is also Jewish.

Point being, there's enough Zionist influence around him to ensure the US policy on Mid east doesn't change, maybe less erratic but more of the same trajectory.

Moalfas got a reaction from 3wliya_maryam in parents - the good and the bad
If I may add, we have narrations talking about the Shayateen (iblees's helpers) who's specific job is for instance to instill Wuswas (doubts) such as during Wudhu or praying etc In essence, these Shayateen try to exacerbate OCD symptoms.

Wheres the question?
If the parents do act contrary to Islam, it is permissible to speak up against them. Even if they cause distress, speaking up against them is different than disrespecting them, and we know how a lot of parents intertwine culture and religion. Whilst I agree that it is hard to not retaliate and speak in contempt, were not perfect human beings. But we strive to try our best, and Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is the Most Forgiving.
I get where you're coming from, but this is not a good example in relation to what you just stated. Islam really is a simple religion, there are just people who choose to complicate it in many ways. Prayer is one of the simplest rules in Islam, Allah made it easy for us because we would have been praying 50 times a day. Prophet Musa (عليه السلام) asked Him to decrease the number of prayers for the Muslims' ease. You can focus on the words and the number of prayers at the same time, I don't see the difficulty. If we choose to believe that something is difficult, then it will be regardless. From experience I realised that the more calm I am in prayer, the more focused I am.
Having issues or daily responsibilities whilst practising Islam is not entirely difficult if you're a strong believer. Again, I completely understand where you're coming from and how it leads to low level of faith, but since you mentioned complications beside OCD, if one was to experience such dysfunctions, do you think that the Almighty would be hard on them in the first place?
Having OCD is not only genetic or stems from religion. Religious OCD is often known to come from environmental factors, as I previously mentioned, such as parents upbringing or society pressure. There is no clear evidence that OCD is a result of religion, chemical imbalances also play a role

Islam isn't based on fear. Some Muslims have focused on propagating fear as it's the easiest way to 'control' their kids and keep them inline.
الإمام علي (عليه السلام): إن قوما عبدوا الله رغبة فتلك عبادة التجار، وإن قوما عبدوا الله رهبة فتلك عبادة العبيد، وإن قوما عبدوا الله شكرا فتلك عبادة الأحرار
نهج البلاغة ٢٣٧
Its narrated that Imam Ali (عليه السلام) had broken down the worshipers into three types:
The people who worshiped God out of desire, which is the worship of merchants.
The people who worshiped God out of fear, which is the worship of slaves.
The people who worshiped God out of gratitude, which is the worship of the free.
Nahj Al Balagha /237
There's much more to worship than simply fear of hell.

Moalfas got a reaction from Ruqaya101 in Scrupulosity
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on such an important topic. It's pretty brave of you to do so. InshAllah your OCD posts can help many who are suffering in silence to come forward and seek help as well as work on symptom/trigger management and recovery.
Our communities are majorly lacking when it comes dealing with and helping overcome OCD. It's excellent to see a dialogue is starting,
