  • Hello
     OP - June 22, 2010, 01:04 AM
     Hi,

     I am not sure if I will be that welcome around here because I am a Muslim, and I do not intend on apostating. However, I assure you that I am not here to talk about religion or convert anyone. Getting into religious debates is not really on my agenda at this time anyway.

     I read more into this forum today because I was bored (and I got curious, you know, being human lol). I came across old posts of which users used to talk about how their families upset them because their families couldn't accept their apostasy and treated them badly... Somehow it makes me feel sad and sympathetic. Thinking that out there, people have suffered because their families made them feel like black sheeps/useless scum/unloved just because their beliefs changed.

      I may not experience the same thing, in relation to faith and all.. (My family is a Muslim family and I have no issues with my faith)..But I do remember my family once making me feel bad enough to give up something really important in my life many years ago and how that decision has effected my life until today. I remember feeling angry and yelling at them these past few months, wishing they'd understand.

       It is the saddest thing to feel misunderstood by your own family, who are supposed to love you and cherish you the most.

       On behalf of the Muslim world, I apologize for the families who chose not to at least hear out their sons/daughters properly in spite of disagreements/differences.

    I used to be really active on youtube (like talking to people etc..) and I heard about the council of ex muslims from youtube videos, etc. I got nosy  Tongue Tongue

    My background? Well I don't feel comfortable exposing too much background information about myself but I'll just say I'm Southeast Asian, currently studying in UK.

    Score one for empathy, sympathy and humanity over rigid religious dogma and intolerance. Hey, believe in whatever you want, worship however you like, I'm an atheist and antitheist but any religious person with your kind of attitude towards things is basically okay in my book.

    If it's okay I kind of would rather avoid talking about things that might lead to scientific/religious debates =P hehe. Sorry if it's bad.

    I just had kind of a rough day..and thought of cheering people up. Even though..it is kind of odd since I am a Muslim suddenly in an ex Muslim council forum.

    Well thanks.

    I just believe the world is a better place if families take more time/open their hearts more to understanding each other.

    I understand how hard it is to be misunderstood by a family. Not only when it comes to choices regarding religion. There can be other choices they may not choose to understand like about who you want to marry/ what kind of career you want to pursue, etc.

    I've been down that road but I think (I hope) my family's starting to understand me more.

    You don't have to debate us on religion or other stuff if you don't want to, but try to stick around-- you seem like a good person, and I'm sure those who have had problems with their family in leaving Islam are just as appreciative of the moral support of Muslims as much as ex or non-Muslims, if not more so.

    Yeah, I was just about to say that-- click on the profile and normally you can find the intro in the last few pages.

    Also, there's a section of this forum for Ex-Muslim Blogs and Bios and Other Blogs and Bios that can help you "introduce yourself" to the other members here.

    I think normally you might be interrogated (albeit politely), but you said you didn't come here to debate religion, so I think most people here will respect that.

    What do we talk about besides religion? Sex (it can get kinda raunchy round here, most of us are pervs), global politics, food, our personal lives in general, music, booze, movies/TV. Approximately in that order.
