    Hi and welcome Meredith!

    It really sucks how religion can ruin relationships. However, that is not always the case. My cousin is a practicing and believing Muslim, and he didn't break up our friendship when I announced my apostasy to him. We have had several discussions over the past months which didn't result in his deconversion or anything, he's the kind of person who really needs his religion. We occasionally make jokes about how I'm doomed to eternal hell fire and how he is brainwashed and believes in old silly myths. I sometimes even get disrespectful about Allah, calling him nuts, crazy, evil and such things, it's always meant light-hearted. We still get along very fine.

    It's very disheartening to know that your close friends and relatives can ditch you simply because you had a change of mind and heart. I worry about what the rest of my family will think and say once they know about my secret.
    I'm sure you will make better friends soon. Keep your chin up.

    Thank you for the warm welcome
    You are very lucky to have such a cousin. I know my family aren't so open minded. I don't even think they realize how ingrained the rejection of anyone changing is.

    I haven't lost my family yet because i am not open about my views, i do not wish to strain our bond anymore than i have to. I do keep to myself and they tend to stay away from me.

    I haven't told my parents or any of my siblings and i do not really have the courage too but because i have stopped being religiously observent - They have in effect shunned me and say i have dishonored the community.
    I did go confide in my best friend and her response was one that really did hurt me above my parents. I would hardly call her observent, she drinks and has sex but still calls herself a Muslim and when i told her i don't feel like a Muslim anymore. She stopped talking to me and called me evil so yes, i know how you are feeling as it is very similar to mine.


    Yeah, I've seen plenty of those chicks. The type who'd do anal and give deep throat, but refuse to have a penis in her vagina because it's against her religious teachings.

    Exactly.
    Its almost always those who wear the hijab and whos parents hold up as better than others, those are the ones to look out for.
    The parents have no idea what they do, they take off the headscarf when they are out of sight and get up to the nastiest things.

    I would love to take credit for it but no. I just found it and tweaked it a bit =]
    No i haven't, i have looked around the forum for a long time but didn't post.

    Well. i'm 18, I'm Somalian. I currently live in London.
    I can't even pinpoint the moment in which i stopped believing, i think it was a gradual change in me over the years. I used to wear the veil and hijab and for my exams - we studied other religions and the arguments for and against God; i researched all of these and found myself questioning Islam and religion generally.
    This was at a time where Islam was very much in the spotlight and cases were being highlighted of Muslims going nuts over the cartoons and i found myself thinking why there was not such outrage over rape victims being stoned.
    I stopped wearing the hijab and over time stopped reading the qu'ran and praying. I realised i didn't feel guilty anymore for not doing it.
    The final nail in the coffin for me has to be when i visited my parents country and ran across a situation where a young girl was being sold to a distant family relative for marriage :S

    Ever since i stopped that, i'm almost the black sheep of the family. My Mom hasn't outright asked me yet am i a Muslim and if she did, i would not know what i can say to her but i think she suspects




    Thanks for sharing that, Meredith - and Welcome  Smiley

    Yeah, I've had a sex with few who would only strictly do anal and blow-jobs, - bear in mind I used to be a Muslim then and I always had a thing for hijabi chicks, I still to, so I dated some. In fact I knew a married hijabi woman in her late 30s who used to be really kinky.

    Thank you Berber, i'm sorry for hijacking your thread lol

    I can see that, i'm very grateful for that. It's hard not to just pretend to be a Muslim if you'll be accepted again by your family but i can't lie.

    The same rule applied to the men, they always used to approach me when i was in my hijab and ask me questions outside of a Mosque. I can laugh at it looking back.

    I know many of these women and teens in my community who abort, cheat and are just basic whores but nevermind. They are seen as better than me because they wear the hijab and i don't. I get so angry at those doublestandards.

    I know, I still have days where I feel like faking it too.  It's hurtful to think that your worth can only be determined by how pious you are, and by people who are meant to accept you for who you are.

    I have been told many times that Islam and loyalty to that over rules any love they have for me. My own 'dad' told me i was lucky to be in UK before he left for Africa.

    I haven't been mistreated so badly that i will go back to being a Muslim but bad enough to be considering it. I just can't wait until i move out tbh.
