Why are music and cartoons so normalized in Muslim countries even though they are clearly haram because there are multiple hadiths declaring them as sinful?

I tried to tell some Muslim girls that anime and KPop were haram and they were very upset and kept insisting that it's not haram, and also pointing back the accusations at me because I am "not perfect" and have no right to judge others.

I have started sincerely studying the Qur'an and Sahih al-Bukhari. I find there are so many problematic things that people just dismiss or do mental gymnastics to "reinterpret" them. What are the implications of this for societies in Muslim countries?

The same way atheists say "Just don't be evil" and then do evil shit and make excuses why it's fine. People are selfish and ignorant especially when being not ignorant is to their disadvantage. Most people would give you cancer for $1m and think giving people cancer for $1m is evil.

One of the issues I have faced talking with Muslims is how often even sincere questions are met with aggressive replies and taunts.

And most often the average Muslim has no idea about Qur'an verses. Like even pretty basic stuff. I thought everyone had to memorize Qur'an.

This is not true at all. The LDS religion is regarded as heresy by Nicean Christians. Sahih hadiths are very much a part of mainstream Sunni Islam.

Music being haram is a wahhabi thing. It's not accepted by all muslims. To most muslims, music is ok unless you're listening to nigger rap talking about booty and pussy

They've collectively decided that some of these rules don't really matter.
Which would be fine if they wouldn't get super anal about them when it comes to Western countries accommodating their "religious needs".

>also pointing back the accusations at me because I am "not perfect" and have no right to judge others
one thing you have to understand that born Muslims will never accept criticism from a convert, they think that you just "don't get it" as they do
worth noting that this idea is actually supported by Islam, when it comes to stuff like kafa'a jurirsts clearly state that a born Muslim is worth more than a convert

I'm just saying that most Muslims don't even gave a three-digit IQ or wear pants or eat with dining utensils or treat women as people, so you should not be allowed to live anywhere in Europe for the most part. Except for maybe Bosnia.

We actually learn the last surahs which are shorter and the longer ones, up from the last hizb 60 then 59 etc
It's normal that they dont know what it's about, it has no main topic and is mix match of subjects including moses story with the cow

They are not, provided there's no glorifying syirik (idolatry) or maksiat (sin) in them. Those who believe every image is haram are among the minority. E.g., you can show the Israelites worshipping cows in a movie as long as it is clear you are not promoting such practices. Regarding anime, a lot of it can be haram if they have ecchi or hentai scenes.

I'm not sure about cartoons, but saying music isn't haram is a real cop out. There are many, not just one, hadiths that say musical instruments le bad, apart from the duff

>It's normal that they dont know what it's about, it has no main topic and is mix match of subjects including moses story with the cow
First 20 ayahs don't have anything about Moses or Adam or any complicated narrative. It's just a rant about kaffir bad.

Even the self proclaimed hafiz I met was very disingenuous. Often I could tell he was deliberately trying to trick me into believing a wrong tafsir because I found something problematic.

Why would they know the first 20 ayahs at random, the most read surah is al kahf since most people read it on friday even some moderates so they would know it's subjects more
Most muslims can recite the last 10 surahs by hearts, imperfectly but still
just because it's the first chronologically doesnt mean it holds more importance

How is Drawing a picture of Mohamad considered idolatry, but writing his name in gold leaf calligraphy isn't? Let's be real here Islam as a faith is just inconsistent for the sake of being inconsistent.

Adherents of any religion say that about themselves. I’m Mormon and I feel like it’s actually true about ourselves, people will use ring doorbell footage of 18 yr old missionaries telling jokes while waiting for someone to answer the door as proof mormons aren’t living up to their standards.
As for Muslims it seems to be a lot more true that Islam makes a big deal about its laws and disavowing hypocrites that don’t follow strictly.

Ultimately having a job, a family, and good hobbies will distract you from those.

yes but there's levels of authenticity of hadith and various interpretations depending on school/sect, it's not that straight forward
quran which is a text that everyone adheres to without question
for example your point about cartoons being haram is highly debatable, lots of imams permit it if it's not promoting something haram (like nudity, etc.), cartoons for kids are mostly seen as fine
music is more likely than not to be haram according to jurists, but it's also a contentious topic, with many figures permitting it, so I can understand why someone wouldn't believe it's haram
