Closet ExMuslim finally said F*** It

OP - May 23, 2011, 03:56 AM

Hello everyone!
I have been on a mission to find a website where I can communicate with Ex-Muslims for some time now .. I tried facebook, search engines, and several forums. Today I was watching a bunch of youtube videos and suddenly BAM!! bunny

I found a video that referred me to CEMB forum. I was not the least skeptical to come here and read about this website as I was desperate to meet people who understand what it is to be an Ex-Muslim.

I come from a small Shiite town in Saudi Arabia. My parents were not radical or extremest by any means. Actually, my siblings were the disciplinary figures in my life. My sisters taught me how to pray, my brothers and brothers-in law forced me to wear the "Abaya= form of hijab" when I turned about 9 years old. I had many encounters as a young girl with boys. Nothing crazy, I never had sex, but in Saudi Arabia if you get caught talking to a boy, you might as well be having sex! your family is going to be the first ones to call you a whore. That's only if you're a female of course. Consequently, I took the first opportunity to leave home, and get away from the physical and mental abuse I was going through.

That was my first step towards freedom. cutting the leash! I've also went through the same phases many Ex-muslims did.. I started questioning the religion, read and started to learn about other religions.. And now I am here.

Please do not find this to be a sad story because it really isn't! I have found my voice, and I will continue to use it.

This is truly a good day for me, maybe I can stop searching for a network now because I finally found one yes

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum FreeLady.

I am glad you have found us, we have been looking for you for some time yes

I remember when I first came across this site, I was so happy to have ran into the existing community here. I felt it was good to finally be amongst people who would understand me and who would know where I was coming from. I hope you too feel the same way about us in the coming days and weeks.

Are you still in Saudi Arabia?

Welcome to the forum and extra kudos for being a woman from such a conservative society and still mustering up the courage to denounce Islam.
I see you've met Hassoon already in the chat room. He and I are still stuck in this fanatic country.

Hope you're enjoying the feeling of being liberated form that incarceration of mental illness called religion.

Hi.

So once again I'm left with the classic Irish man's dilemma, do I eat the potato or do I let it ferment so I can drink it later?

Apologies to FreeWoman for going off topic slightly.

What did terms did you search on facebook and google? What forums did you initially go to? We need to so some search engine optimization!

A message to our marketing department: do we not have a facebook page?

Interestingly when I left Islam and felt like checking out fellow murtaddeen on the interwebs, I googled the term "apostate Islam" not "ex-Muslim". Don't ask me why. I just didn't think of it. Of course if I searched for "ex-Muslim" I would have found this site immediately.
