Found this nickel in my grandmothers old coin stash. Trying to figure out if it's some form of production error. Appears to be slightly smaller than typical nickel.

The Choice
https://preview.redd.it/3hfg6ns40r2b1.png?width=464&format=png&auto=webp&s=7436829b1d72704fcaa85ed8413c58e91de4b54a
The truth is that the Islam we were taught in school and by our parents, teachers and society... is watered down. I am not trying to offend you. It is just that you are not informed on these matters. You are not informed because our various Ulema and governments saw fit to hide it from you. Our rulers are concerned what Muslims become when they find out true islam; they think it leads to violence and social problems that they seek to rid. Our elites and educated simply want to live secular lives and pursue development. So more and more as the muslim world has been entering the modern era (1920s onward), they've been watering down and muzzling islam, and giving people a carefully diluted religion because its convenient. That's what "moderate Islam" is. Though they do re-indoctrinate us on true islam when they need us to fight insurgencies (e.g. mujahideen against soviets) and face problems trying to turn off true islam when they're done (e.g. taliban against pakistan).
In hiding true shariah viewpoints on issues from you, they also hid the core meaning and intent of Islamic philosophy. Which the watered down Islam does not contain. Islam is not some vague spirituality with praying and fasting. It is not sufi-ism. Here's a rule of thumb; if it aint Shariah, it aint Islam. Islam is a total way of life for a citizen of a theocratic religious-supremacist state. Right now, you suspect this but wont fully understand this state's harsh rulings because you are not given key parts of genuine islamic philosophy in "moderate islam".
There are two kinds of people who discover genuine islamic philosophy;
- The ex-muslims; hard to get accurate statistics but estimated 3-6% of Pakistan's population and growing, also reports of 30% of gen Z in Turkey and 40% of Iran's population (according to optimistic surveys, but even if its less, its almost certainly greater than 40% of Iran's youth).
- the fundamentalists; can be anyone that understands the fundamentals ranging from salafists, wahabbists, to hardcore molvis, extremist uncles, taliban to ISIS. Research shows extremist attitudes are really high among people who didnt go to western schools but instead listened to their well-informed and unfiltered rural molvi who got true islam from one of theses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_fundamentalism#Islamic_fundamentalist_groups. I dont like them but atleast they're self-honest so I like them *more* than the moderates.
A moderate muslim may often be found sitting and scratching his or her head about why these two groups exist... as they don't believe their religion is false nor do they believe their religion is violent or extreme or propagates harmful opinions that infringe on rights and freedom of others. They're often crying about islamophobia at the ex-muslims/western islamic scholars that understand islam or decrying that "you ignorant molvis ruined islam" at the fundamentalists who also understand islam. (Not realizing that 95% of molvis on earth are trying their best to push "moderate islam". And its only 5% of molvis choose to go back to fundamentalsm.)
In reality, only the ex-muslims and fundamentalists get it. The moderates are clueless. Their careful state-constructed Islamiat education is shocked when they discover the Islamic religion is violent, is repressive, is extreme, does have self-righteous cult-like tendancies, is not compatible with many modern humanist values and never was. And never tried to be or was intended to be. And that it DOESNT give them the rights and freedoms they've been enjoying as a citizen of a country ruled by secular, humanist values. Examples of this are shariah views on (slavery, forced marriage, child marriage, gender equality, offensive warfare, dhimmi subjugation, and much more)
SO...The Choice we are facing is

1. whether to stay asleep in "moderate Islam lala-land" (which is represented by the bright happy forest in this photo. But beware that though it appears enticing and attractive... but because its a lie... its a trap. Lies are always poison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PwJLA5M958 Especially when they form the foundation of a society. You will always have a fractured, sect-filled, half-modern, half-medieval, hypocritical and doubt-filled Pakistan on this path.)OR
2. to self-honestly examine what Islam really is. (The fundamentalists/extremists and ex-muslims put together their discovieries very well. Choose either and they will guide you to the harsh truths that moderates hid.) This path is represented by the dark forest in the photo and it takes courage to venture into the ugly depths. You are thinking for yourself. This is hard but because its facing the truth, its the correct choice over time.)

IF you choose the dark forest, there is a further fork in this road.
2A) You can choose to accept the actual philosophical tenets of Islam, complete with associated violent, supremacist commands and its contradictions, strange science and become closer and closer to ISIS. In this option, you subordinate your reason to god and say "Oh Allah, though there are things in your Shariah that offend my modern-education trained intellect, heart and conscience, I'm just not smart enough to review your wisdom and so I'll obey unquestioningly."
OR
2B) You think for yourself and examine whether the foundations of what Islam claims is true or not; i.e. whether it truly comes from god or not. No pre-packaged conclusions from me or anyone else. You think for yourself and find the truth.
(i.e. See if the first principles are solid and support the next concept without conjecture or invalid reasoning. Is it possible to have character growth or did Islam reach ultimate of all ideas for all time? Which you can judge by whether each concept in true Islam is actually a stronger alternative to those reached by reason in the world. Examine and understand both and see which is more likely to be true. (for example, i recall comparing Shariah vs Natural Rights under "Why Nations Fail" framework and chose the latter. I recall realizing Islam genuinely didn't predict technology would change mode of life so much. Or comparing Islam vs evolution and chose the latter. Or found peace outside Islam and realizing islam didnt hold any monopoly on spirituality. Or Islam's views on morality. Saw non-muslims could be good and close to god. I ended up rejecting Quran's philosophy that lack of gullibility is worth torture and compulsion in this world and the next.)
I reached 2B.
I'm past it.
I really will not promise you a medal if you get here. There's no prize. It's... nothing.
But its not a lie.
For me, that makes it non-optional.
It is also a path that can lead to many more places and many more truths.The scientific revolution happened here as Europe rejected the Bible's views on reality and sought to think for themselves.Constitutions and human rights happened here as philosophers rejected the Bible's morality and said that humanity can have some character growth.Women's rights happened here too so girls and boys can have equal opportunities and whatnot.And no, there's no new ideology you have to follow (and in fact, if you do, thats a new trap). Because now that you think for yourself, you are in charge of your own destiny. In a mysterious universe that you can discover anew.
Honestly, you can do, be whatever you want. Sing, dress how you want, not fight over religion, not have to worry what your ideology thinks.
You can even learn about the mind and its ego, and conquer it. Which is perhaps the ultimate and only thing worth doing in this life.
It isn't productive to linger here at 2B once you're past it and pick on a dead, defenseless horse like religion. Except maybe to hold the lantern to guide the next person who comes here (many of us are haunted to do this). But I guess a task even more worthy than that is to unearth the next false belief in us. And continue onwards in our journey to truth.
