i did ask once, what a kaffir was.. they told me it was a "dirty non believer"
(nothing said about an ex muslim) b/c they called someone who came in the
forum that, as well as a troll. They said its best not to call anyone that cuz
only allah knows

well pierced_beauty, thats alright, Im sure your father has you well protected.
They probably said they had "more" for you, in the way of a husband!!!

I read a little bit on it, but I should read up more. You're probably right.

The Muslim people said I should hold off on any type of relationship until THEY said I was ready. I was thinking, "Uh, what the fuck?" I should choose when I want to date.

My dad believes in free will. As long as the guy isn't like my two exes (drug addicts and have warrants out), he's okay with them. I know my dad would have forbidden me marrying a Muslim man. Thinking about it, I actually didn't want to marry one. And of course, no dating is allowed...

Okay, yeah, I always called kafir as an infidel. Yeah, I knew that. Haha, I can imagine what they are saying and you know what, I don't care.

I'm non-religious. I do believe there is a god and I'm also starting to think that maybe there's a goddess too. Eh, I rather remain unaffiliated/ I was raised Catholic and didn't really like it. Islam actually felt worse than Catholicism.
Oh, yeah. And the first time I went to the mosque I felt very welcomed. I have had a lot of personal issues in the past regarding people and depression issues (taking meds now), so that welcoming feeling felt good. However, the religion itself made me more depressed.

Hi there and welcome.

So question, did you believe in any of the religious tenets of Islam and did your "friends" teach you any of those aspects or were they concentrating more on your social life (friends, clothes, food)? I also wonder what the heck they told you is a halal diet, since the absence of pork & alcohol from a diet really isn't a big deal and you said it left you feeling weakened. The things they told you all seem wonked out even for Muslims.

I mean we have to learn the 5 tenets at school (I'm a history major and religion is VERY important), and I believed in a few. They basically taught me the halal diet and after a month or so they started telling me to cut out friends and family. Then it was on to the clothes and telling me that I should be covered because I'm too beautiful. I had to learn the prayers and halal parts myself. They were just concerned about the social and clothing. They told me my friends and family were bad influences on me and my clothes weren't good enough, though they were modest.

I'm so glad I got out when I did. I have no idea how Samira's mom would control me. =\

I have a snoopy question...

You call yourself "pierced _beauty", but as far as I can tell you only have a nose piercing, and maybe your ears.

Are you planning on getting more? Or are there piercings in places not generally visible to the general public?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I remain.

I left Islam after 4 months. My family is all non-Muslim and they're so happy to have me back. I made the mistake of going to a Mosque for a report and talking about an interest. Next thing I know I had all these Muslims e-mailing me wanting me to join and I figured, "What the hell? It might not hurt." I was so wrong and regret the decision.

I was becoming increasingly unhappy; these Muslims told me to leave my family and friends since they were non-Muslim. My grandma before she left for a three week trip told me I should leave it. She'll be so happy about the news when she's back, I'm sure. It took me two weeks.

I had more of a story, but Mozilla was being dumb. If you want to hear it, e-mail me.

(A rather belated) Welcome! Interesting to read your posts.
