I have heard many mixed opinions and I wanted to do a poll because pressing buttons is fun :3
Feel free to rant in the comments as I know some of you have very strong opinions about this

Based both on my personal experience and their own discourses.
Muslims cannot fathom nor comprehend that God is our Father. To them, He is a Creator that purposely keeps His distance from us. He is a MASTER and we're His SLAVES, SERVANTS. As much as they insist that God is merciful and loves us more than a mother, there's always an invisible wall between God and humans that prevents a closer bond to develop.
Original sin doesn't exist in their dogma, so there's no need for a savior.
Following this, they also have difficulty understanding why God would become human to suffer like us, (lesser beings) and die a horrible death out of love for us. Again, this is due to their perception of a distant God.
Another main obstacle they face, is understanding the Three Persons: that He is a One, Triune God. They're quick to shut it down as shirk (idolatry). This is a problem by default, since their own prophet Mohammed didn't understand the Trinity to begin with.
Since they believe the Bible got corrupted over time, they don't bother to read and study it, despite "believing" in it. Rather, they lean on the Quran's recollection of the Holy Scriptures, since they believe to have the definitive and unaltered Word of God.
When they say they know and love Jesus, they mean they know and love the Jesus misinterpreted in the Quran, since they don't read the Bible (except to pick and choose something to try to disprove poorly).
In my POV, for born Muslims this error can be understood as invincible ignorance. For converts, it's proof that they're looking for an authentic, black and white kind of religion with God. Most of them had bad experiences or poor catechism in the past, and want a religion "with no intermediaries." (i.e. priests and the saints; but mostly the latter).
The problem? They rely on their own understanding of the Quran and Hadith, plus whatever their local Iman tells them. (Proverbs 3:5-6; Jeremiah 17:5, Ps. 146:3). So much about no intermediaries.
All this, to say:
Since the grace of God works beyond the Church, Jesus, in His love and mercy, starts appearing in their dreams after many signs of His authority go ignored by them out of fear.
It's interesting to me how Muslims can "debate" with priests, pastors, missionaries, etc. for years; yet they only humble themselves once Jesus starts touching them in ways they can understand and accept --dreams.
Once they have this experience, then they're open to know Jesus, or they convert on the spot.
I might return to this later to expand on it. Nevertheless, please be kind and compassionate to those with an aggressive style of dawah (the equivalent of "evangelization"). More often than not, there's something behind the anger. With that said, stay firm and brave--don't let them insult our creed. Pray silently for them, and move on.
Aaaaaaaa look👆👆👆👆!!!!

and I'm totally normal about it.
IM VEEEEERY NORMAL. VERY.
Coelacanth my beloved!!
The coelacanth, often dubbed a "living fossil," is one of the most iconic and mysterious marine vertebrates. Long thought extinct until its rediscovery in 1938, only two species are known today—Latimeria chalumnae in the western Indian Ocean, and L. menadoensis in Indonesia. The latter, the Sulawesi coelacanth, lives in deep, difficult-to-access reef habitats and has rarely been observed alive. For the first time, divers using advanced technical diving equipment have filmed a live Indonesian coelacanth in situ, at a depth of over 150 metres in North Maluku, a region where the species had not previously been recorded.

- Localities from whence the Sulawesi Coelacanth, Latimeria menadoensis, has been reported in black stars. White star shows the North Maluku Province, where the first in situ sighting by technical divers was made.
This sighting is more than just a milestone in exploration—it provides critical data on the ecology and distribution of an animal that is evolutionarily unique and highly vulnerable. With few individuals ever seen in the wild, each observation adds valuable insight into how these ancient fish live and where they might still be found. It also underscores the urgency of protecting deep reef habitats that are increasingly at risk from human activities. Understanding and safeguarding the ecosystems that support the coelacanth is essential if we hope to ensure its survival into the future.

I mostly just obsess over fictional characters, reblog ship art, and post the pictures I take of cool animals. Enjoy.
