you keep your pot and bong where you keep your quraans

you read the quraan high as fuck because you wanna "reach" god.

you're more open about being queer.

you leave the house modestly dressed but get rid of that skirt and fucking baggy blouse as soon as you walk past security

you got a tattoo no one wants to believe is real. (which is good that way).

PORN PORN PORN PORN.

you have a hardcore, fearless demonologists because demons are good bedtime stories. hehehe.

your male Muslim friends think you're femminazi slut.

your mother has kicked you out of the house more than 5 times for refusing to pray.

you still get "instinctively" defensive when someone criticizes islam and fellow arabs, and hate yourself for being so brainwashed.

you smoke cigarettes and drink beer (in public, well sometimes) wearing your favorite pashmina hijab.

you fucking love bacon, and have an awesome non-muslim friend who buys you a bacon breakfast every morning.

you don't have to get rid of the nail polish you spent your period days with anymore.

You don't care if you wear nail polish.
You got a hidden piercing in a hidden place just because you couldn't have one before haha.
You bullshit to your parents you're going to work and you're going instead to your boyfriend's house.
You hide your weed in your room behind a huge frame. (sticking it on the wall haha)
You just wear tampons instead of stupid sanitary pads.
You own dresses and g-string that you hide under your hijabs in your wardrobe.
You just can't stop cursing and talk bad after many years of holding it all inside of you because your mom.
You listen to music and you don't even feel bad! :D:D

That's actually very beautiful. It reassures you that no matter who people think they are in this life...everyone ends up in the same state in the end.

You're slightly relieved when you get your period because you don't have to pretend pray or deal with being told to pray and…you can wear nail polish!

You've rediscovered your love for gummy bears, snake lollies, etc after having to quit them because some arsehead read the ingredients and cried "gelatin!" years ago. You now have bags of these stashed under your clothes in your drawers.

You freak out whenever you see a random Muslim while you're un-hijabed.

You don't turn off your music when the adhan is going.

You panic when you're asked why you didn't pray or whether you prayed or not. Should I lie and say I did or should I just say I forgot?

When you roll your eyes whenever you see a friend's Facebook status extolling the virtues/greatness of Allah/Islam/Mo.

You laugh your arse off at all the Muslims drooling over Facebook posts featuring plants/animals "prostrating" or bearing Allah's name.

When you run out of the room whenever Islamic shizz is on tv.

You force yourself to hold in your murtad rage whenever Islam is being praised/presented glowingly on tv, or people are apologizing to rioting Muslims and your family are cursing the yahud and the kuffar.

You instinctively say "alhamdulillah" when you sneeze, "bismillah" before you eat, and sometimes even recite the entering-the-toilet du'a and smack yourself for it.

You never ever talk politics around family, especially if it involves the West and Muslims/Islam.

When you spend a typical Ramadan day thinking of ways to sneak food into your room and eat discreetly.

You're no longer scared of jinns or shaitan pissing in your ear for missing fajr.

You feel sorry for "moderate Muslims" who can't win an Islamic argument against the fundies because you've been there and you know the fundies are right and have scripture on their side.

You no longer worry whether a political view/philosophical concept is halal to follow/believe in.

You realize there's a whole world of ideas out there!

When you forget the Arabic alphabet and start losing your ability to read Arabic.

When you realize you're going to lose most of your "friends" due to your non-belief.

You've forgotten all these surahs you previously knew by heart. A'oothibillah .

OMG yes!!!!! Especially that one! I love eating candies and I was always sad when during halloween I couldn't eat those gummy bears. Or when I was camping with school and friends... I couldn't eat marshallows! Now... I discover the beauty of that... just like a naked baby born into this new world haha!

I used to do a lot of Haram even as a believing Muslim (I convinced myself I was just enjoying my adolescent years and that I'd become more religious once I got married ). Haram food (no pork, bacon etc) , music, women, weed, pretty much anything anything haram that common people indulge in.

- Wake up on Fridays contemplating whether I can skip Jumma prayer. I usually try to escape the house at noon (else I'll get a ride), if nobody's home I'd just chill

- Don't feel guilty drinking alcohol. I rarely drink, done it a couple times, but I don't feel guilty when sippin' from my friends bottle at all. Kinda like that tipsy feeling too

- You love life . I don't know, my new perspective on life in general makes me appreciate it a lot more. I really love the feeling knowing that I am in control and that my fate is not predetermined. Makes me have confidence in my judgement/thinking and makes me work harder knowing I can make a difference and that its not really all "up to God".

-Wonder how ****ing stupid (a lot) muslims are.

-Wonder how your future as an ex-muslim would be, how the dynamics in your relationship with your family/friends will change. Can I keep the cover for ever? Hmm....

Hi- I always call myself a muslim because it's part of my identity. It's a label that defines a part of who I am & my background. I'm not ashamed to call myself a muslim even though I don't actually believe in the existence of Allah.

Gelatin is regularly found in candy. It's frowned upon by Muslims because it derives from pork skin. Luckily may parents never gave a shit, as long as it wasn't a long strip of bacon.

You know you are an ex-muslim when a friend asked you questions on Islam in hopes of converting herself and you basically talked her out of it by letting her know the horrible parts dawa books seem to leave out. This was at a time when I was seriously doubting my faith and at the edge of admitting my apostasy to myself.
