um, i'm 18, live in london, family are muslims (a couple of em extremist) etc.

started having serious doubts when i was around 14, but thanks to the 'don't think about/ ask questions about certain things in case you become an apostate, and you'll go to hell' stuff i was taught as a kid, it took me a while to reject islam properly. (still haven't told family except my sister who is the least religious in my family)

was made to go to an islamic school in london for 4 years, as well as miss 3 other years of school cause my dad wanted me to study islam back in bangladesh.

currently agnostic leaning towards deist.

a few of the reasons for leaving:
the way islam seemed to restrict muslims so they stay muslim (don't ask certain questions, don't become an apostate you you'll be killed etc.)

silly rules that it seemed to me if any god existed, he would not be bothered about (don't cut your hair certain ways, don't listen to music etc.)

islams views on certain people (non-muslims, women, gays) which seemed a benevolent god wouldn't order

can't really think of anything else to put here

Welcome.

We've got ourselves another Bengali apostate.

I've a friend who went through a similar experience to you, feel sorry for the poor guy. His parents placed no importance on his regular education and sent him off to Bangladesh to become a hafiz. I wonder how he's doing now.

yeah, my dad wanted me to become hafiz, i went for ~2 years when i was about 8 or 9. i eventually managed to get my older brother to come and get me cause i hated it, pissed off my dad though.
