  • How did you find the CEMB Forum?
     OP - December 18, 2012, 10:22 PM
    Just curious to know how people found the CEMB forum. Knowing how people found the site is useful to help get the word out about it.

    I found it totally accidentally, if I had not been on a specific site at a specific time I might never have stumbled upon it.

    I was looking for a forum that was specifically about debunking Muslim claims, so I googled "anti-jihad forum", I ended up finding the "Faith Freedom" forum pretty much immediately. Most of the people over there were real angry types and not that knowledgable about Islam, noone was really able to answer any of my questions. But then one day an ex-Muslim was on there asking for help because she was in danger, so somebody linked her to this site, so then I clicked through to see what this site was about and I started reading the posts here and I was very impressed by how knowledgable people were over here. I have never been back to that Faith Freedom forum ever since.

    Based on what people respond in the thread I will modify the poll choices if more obvious categories emerge.

    From what I remember I was just googling around for ex muslim atheists and stumbled upon this forum. 
    In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living

    Just an idea.

    I know it would require some money but the best way to reach other ex muslim atheists would be to put up an advertisement on a billboard near a huge mosque or islamic school or islamic centre.

    Atheists living in islamic fundamentalist families (especially youth) are forced to go to these places and they are the ones in most need of this forum so the money would be well spent in my opinion.

    I had been struggling with my doubts for a long while, and then one day I just found the courage to google "debunking scientific miracles of the Quran" and found this thread http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/index.php?topic=4537.0

    The term 'ex-muslim' kinda scared me, though, so I ran away from the place and didn't come back until a few months later, when I felt ready to call myself an apostate. Then I signed up Smiley

    I was looking at technology forum, they had a philosophical section, so I went there, first time I encountered Atheists, this was in 2009 when I was still searching for answers

    However, to post there you need to have 50+ posts, even though I joined there before I joined here, I don't think I have more than 10 posts there.
    Look at this thread and give me your thoughts:

    Tony, can you add Twitter to the list of options, please.

    It was so long ago... but IIRC I found this site after googling "leaving islam" or something like that, in 2008. Then I found the main CEMB site which has a link to this forum. I signed up right away, having apostated many years before, though I didn't consider myself "ExMuslim" until around 2007, as I didn't know the word existed.

    I was at FFI around 2006-2007 but got tired and depressed because of the extreme hatred for muslims fuelled by extreme right wingers so i laid off the anti-islamic stuff online and remain a content deist until 2010 i decided to google for anti-islamic stuffs again just to catch up and voila! I found CEMB, i didnt even hesitate to join in as a member. Within a month or two i became an atheist and even went to the extent of opening up about it to few including my parents and siblings

    Yup. yes Berbs and Hass came up with the idea. Tried a Google group (or was it Yahoo group?) first but that was useless, so managed to get a forum set up.

    I found it through browsing YouTube videos on religion, convert stories, debates on islam etc.

    Think I found a video on Maryam and then found out about CEMB.

     Huh?
    People remember how?
    I don't, it's sketchy, something like googling for local apostates online but being turn off b'coz of the retaliation received from muslim, stumbling through Hamza Kashgari cases and I guess here I am (uhh.. honestly I'm not so sure about 'bj halal' thingy, but there's possibility I do Google that, maybe in anger)

    I do read FFI before, not registered though, don't have the guts, this forum atmosphere just click in.

    Are there any history section about cemb?

    I googled the term 'Muslim deconversion', found the forum, found the link to chat, joined chat, said the athiest shahada (witnessed by Prince, no less), came back here when I was asked to introduce myself on the forum. A year and a bit later, I'm still here.

    I actually found this forum well over a year ago, when I was still Muslim at heart. I'm not exactly sure how I found this place, but I'm pretty sure it was Google related.

    Not sure exactly how I found this place - could have been Google, YouTube or AtheistNexus.

    Anyway, it seems the term "former Muslims" returns mostly search results for converts to Christianity, whereas "ex-Muslims" emphatically brings people here. Hmm..  Never mind.

    Naaaaaah.....

    Sounds too evangelic to me. Not something that I wish to associate myself.

    Of course word of mouth is best and if people are genuinely looking for ex-Muslims then I'm sure they ahve the basic ability tot ype 'ex Muslims in Britain or wherever' in Google.
