Hi,
I went through the islamo-spin-cycle a few years ago as a young 'revert'. Studying at seminary, giving speeches at events, doing 'dawah'; the whole nine yards. Not long after meeting a nice muslimah with the intention of marriage I began experiencing doubts. We went ahead and got married, and following a short stint of pretending everything was fine we sat down to have a frank conversation about the situation and I was reassured to find she also had her doubts. Neither of us were going to leave the other for becoming an apostate, so we mutually agreed to take the red pill wherever that might lead.
Fast forward a few years and things are better than ever (and still with my partner, minus the allah-shaped third wheel in our relationship) emancipated from constant background anxiety and guilt that my old imaginary pal might think less of me for failing to observe some inane 7th century doctrine.
I'm here because I feel that an individual who changes their mind about a particular set of beliefs shouldn't have to suffer social stigma, let alone live in fear. The fact is that many of those who may want to change their mind with regards to islam face a myriad of problems, many of which need not be tolerated in a free society. I also see challenging the taboo of apostasy in islam as an important step towards secularising muslims in general.
I could go on, but I'm sure anyone still reading is probably hoping I'll stop waffling. See you around!
