My heloooo...I warn you it's long :)
OP - November 23, 2013, 12:18 AM

Hello everyone.....
I've occasionally come on this site and forum for about a month with the intention of meeting like minded individuals! but never posted anything ....until now!
My story is a long and convoluted one which involved a lot of hurt and confusion. I am in my mid twenties living in London. I am Indian....born Hindu. I entered into a long term relationship with a Pakistani guy. I'd been brought up in a similar way to a lot of people from Asian cultures I guess, fairly traditional but my Hindu background taught me to be very tolerant by nature. I was always taught there is one god and people just have different names for him, so saw all religions as equal. Which is probably how I ended up with a Muslim. I was with my boyfriend for years....long story short he asked me to convert before marriage. I did, learning only some vague facts and still holding this belief that heyy all religions are good anyway right??! So I did it anyway learned basic prayers fasted with him...all so we could be married. I learned more and and learned more and more,,,and honestky could NOT BELIEVE what I read about Islam. 'How could any half decent person believe this' I would think to myself over and over again. I eventually began to REALLY dislike it despite being the future wife of a Muslim. I tried to prove myself wrong, looking up the facts to see if I could have possibly misinterpreted it. Long story short i left the relationship and cant believe how I had almost married a Muslim thinking that because we were culturally similar the religion wouldn't be a problem. There are still things I find beautiful about Islam, I guess with all religions, but ultimately learning led me to believe in no religion!! It was a long journey and although not born Muslim , Islam has had a hugeeee part in my life! And my 'being a Muslim' well you can't be something that doesn't exist!! Ha ha ha....

`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

It's shocking that after learning the immoralities, inconsistencies and inhumanity, you still find yourself thinking 'but what if it's true and hell exists?' I can't imagine how difficult and the inner turmoil felt by hose who have had islam drilled into their heads since birth

I know what you mean, and I don't even have a muslim background. Sometimes it's like islam survives on stygiophobia.

Hello, Sonia. As a convert who has been married for 15 years you had a lucky escape from Islam.

Welcome to the forum.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Well done for having the strength to make a very very tough decision before you allowed it put you in an even tougher position. Kudos.
