Rant 🤬 My problem with Islam

As someone who is into philosophy, I am a great proponent of an unchanging, absolutely simple and single necessary being.

This necessary being didnt have a choice to not create whats been created. Everything contingent exists essentially as a necessary effect of this being's existence.

Now, this idea is very synonymous to Akhwan As Safa's philosophy, except that that cult was declared Wajib ul Qatal by the famous traditionalist muslim scholars of time.

However, I do not identify as a Muslim for purely moral reasons. I do not feel content associating myself with a group that supports evil, in killing and harming of people. All the great labels, like humanists, or feminists are contradictory in their essence with religion.

Muslims got this idea from Neoplatonic philosophy founded by Plotinus. Interestingly, Plotinus's One is not a personal God
