Are Arabs turning their backs on religion?

Arabs are increasingly saying they are no longer religious, according to the largest and most in-depth survey undertaken of the Middle East and North Africa.

The finding is one of a number on how Arabs feel about a wide range of issues, from women's rights and migration to security and sexuality.

More than 25,000 people were interviewed for the survey - for BBC News Arabic by the Arab Barometer research network - across 10 countries and the Palestinian territories between late 2018 and spring 2019.

Here are some of the results.

Chart showing that the proportion of people who say they are not religious has increased in every place except Yemen since 2013

Since 2013, the number of people across the region identifying as "not religious" has risen from 8% to 13%. The rise is greatest in the under 30s, among whom 18% identify as not religious, according to the research. Only Yemen saw a fall in the category.

All religions are facing non religiosity. Muslims are least affected compared to others. But it is increasing in their ranks as well now. 

The only reason they are least affected is because they force religion down peoples throats. Ie in Islamic ruled countries. Everything they do is governed by their faith. They have to follow sharia law which makes them follow their faith to the dot. 

But that is the problem that has back fired on them. When you force religion on people they can go the other way and rebel against it. 

Ive noticed from personal experience with working with turkish, iranian and many middle eastern muslims is that although they are somewhat religious, They dont try and force it down peoples throats and are alot more liberal then brown porkistanis who seem to be the most extreeme muslims. By an large you never here issues of middle eastern muslims struggling to integrate in the uk it is always the porkistanis. 

Many middle eastern muslims eat non halal food even pork drink alcohol,  dont go to mosque and are far from religious.

Interesting. I wonder what the actual reason is for the BBC to publicise these findings. Disarming perceptions? Galvanising Islamic resolve? Curious.

Making them seem morelike the rest of the people as we all know what hyperadherents are like for a country's stability

There will be no true Hindu and Muslim (Dasam Granth).

Only the Khalsa can stand up to Kaljug.

The religion from Arabia form 20% Arab Muslims. Pakistan will soon have the largest  Muslim population.

Islam spread in India due to Arab invaders. Later on Mughals spread it.

Hmm. It's possible Anarchy and war has got to Arabs. Notice Iraq and Lebanon stats? WAR in those country. People will q "where's God? God's command? Hye! Ehdn da Hukam? Ehna kathrnaak??" Stats could've bern different if war didn't exist in those countries.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
