To all Ex-muslims.
OP - June 18, 2011, 10:11 PM

We need more blogs, videos, or grab a mic and make an audioblogs on youtube. Better still get more active in other ways.

Exmuslims need to be heard and shown to exist!

I wish I was in a position to do this, but I can't at the moment.
I can do the "other ways" though.

I want to get to that point, one day...
I think it will be fine as long as I'm not famous. I can't imagine my parents reaction to my apostasy in general, but I'd guess that, if they accept it eventually while still broken-hearted, that the one condition would be for me not to go around publicly stating that I'm an ex/talking negatively about Islam. I would have a problem with the latter because obviously it would keep me from speaking about what I believe in... and there really is a gray line there. Should I be negative? I won't criticize just for the sake of it/just to be ugly/mean-spirited, but Islam/muslims have to be open to constructive criticism and learn not to get offended easily.

What do you guys think about that? As far as family and being open publicly about it (sometimes, extremely public, like in the media)?

Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in.

Well, I can't keep my trap shut, so even if my family didn't know today that I was an apostate, I probably still would've gone and made a blog. And although my family know i'm an exxie that obviously doesn't mean they're gonna accept my exclusivity. I don't care what my family think though, I believe in free speech and I as well as every one of you here have every right to practice that right.

I'm pretty open about it, but everyone's situtation is different

I'm pretty game for this. But what kind of topics and subjects should I be focusing on? Personal level, debunking, etc...

IMO, we only have one life so why waste time making blogs/videos/etc. when you can do a lot more important things with your time? Most Muslims don't even practice their religion, or at least follow the "real" Islam and they're good people. Enjoy your life and don't think about this.. yes you can!

My advice would be to start with something you're comfortable with and can talk about naturally. It can even just be your experiences and thoughts with Islam and your own story of apostasy like Zaiba did (I think). I've been thinking of making a Vid myself just because I feel there needs to be more exposure with these kinda things.

Never thought about it quite like this before, but I guess so, whatever floats your boat
