Musharraf’s last poll hope all but over:
The last hope of former president retired Gen Pervez Musharraf for contesting the election vanished on Tuesday when an election tribunal here set aside the acceptance of his nomination papers by a returning officer for a National Assembly constituency in Chitral (NA 32) and declared him disqualified.
In another blow to the former military ruler, election tribunals comprising judges of the Lahore High Court dismissed his appeals against rejection of his nomination papers for NA 139 Kasur and NA 48 Islamabad.
Gen Musharraf’s appeal against the non-acceptance of his papers for NA 250 Karachi has already been rejected by an election
tribunal headed by Justice Faisal Arab of the Sindh High Court.
The election tribunal comprising Justice Mian Fasihul Mulk, Justice Mazhar Alam Miankhel and Justice Mrs Irshad Qaiser of the Peshawar High Court pronounced the verdict after marathon arguments advanced by scores of lawyers appearing for the appellants and a lone counsel for Gen Musharraf.
Gen Musharraf’s counsel Saad Shibli told reporters that the tribunal’s decision would be challenged in the Supreme Court.
The appeals against the retired general’s candidature were filed by the Jamaat-i-Islami’s candidate for NA 32, Maulana Abdul Akber Chitrali, the Tehreek-i-Insaf’s candidate, Abdul Lateef, and some other people. The lawyers appearing for the objectors challenged the acceptance of the nomination papers on multiple grounds.
They said Shehzada Khalid Pervez had submitted the papers of Gen Musharraf on March 30 whereas the power of attorney was issued in his name by the candidate on April 5. This meant that on the day of filing of the papers Mr Khalid was not authorised to do so, the lawyers contended.
The President of the Lahore High Court Bar Association, Rawalpindi bench, Taufeeq Asif, contended that under section 12 (3) of the Representation of People’s Act 1976, the nomination papers could be filed by a nominee only if he was allowed by the candidate in writing.
He cited a number of SC judgments, including one issued in 2009 in which the emergency imposed by Gen Musharraf was held unconstitutional, and argued that he had already been declared a usurper by the apex court.
He said the returning officer in Chitral had overlooked all these judgments and several objections to Gen Musharraf’s candidature while accepting his papers. Mr Asif contended that keeping the constitution in abeyance was tantamount to subversion of the constitution and amounted to high treason.
Advocates Qazi Mohammad Anwer, Malik Ajmal Khan and Fida Gul, counsel for the appellants, said the nomination papers of Gen Musharraf were full of discrepancies. They said his papers for three constituencies had been rejected by the ROs and the decisions upheld by the appellate tribunals. Then how could his papers be accepted from one constituency, they wondered.
The three lawyers recalled that Gen Musharraf had been declared proclaimed offender by three different courts in the murder cases of Nawab Akber Bugti and Benazir Bhutto as well as the Lal Masjid operation and his property was also attached in the cases.
Gen Musharraf’s counsel Saad Shibli faced tough time in answering questions put by the tribunal. He contended that his client had not been convicted in any of the cases and no case of treason was registered against him.
When the tribunal asked how a nominee could file nomination papers without power of attorney, the counsel said the authority could be given even verbally.
But the tribunal observed that the law clearly suggested that there should be a written permission.
In Lahore, the election tribunal comprising Justice Khwaja Imtiaz Ahmad and Justice Khalid Mahmood Khan of the LHC dismissed the appeal of Gen Musharraf against rejection of his nomination papers from NA 139 Kasur.
His counsel Salman Safdar argued that the former president had not been convicted by any court and the allegations levelled against him had not been proven so far. But he failed to come up with a satisfactory answer when asked by the tribunal to justify the action taken by the former president on Nov 3, 2007 – the imposition of emergency.
The counsel for the objector argued that Gen Musharraf had committed constitutional crimes by imposing the emergency, suspending the constitution and detaining judges of the superior judiciary.
In Rawalpindi, the tribunal comprising Justice Rauf Ahmed Sheikh and Justice Mamoon Rashid Sheikh of the LHC’s Rawalpindi bench rejected the appeal of Gen Musharraf against the non-acceptance of his nomination papers by the returning officer for NA 48 Islamabad.
His legal team, headed by Ahmed Raza Kasuri, decided to fight the case against his disqualification in the Supreme Court.
Advocate Malik Qamar Afzal, the counsel for Gen Musharraf, argued that his client could not be disqualified merely on the basis of observations made by the apex court in the PCO judges case. Advocate Nadeem Shah, representing objector Nasir Abbasi, said Gen Musharraf had ridiculed and humiliated the superior judiciary and, therefore, he was subject to disqualification under articles 62 and 63 (g) of the constitution.
Ahmed Raza Kasuri said Gen Musharraf had been deprived of his fundamental right to contest the election. The judiciary was lenient to the objectors and tough on his client, he alleged.
He claimed that Gen Musharraf would launch a movement if justice was not delivered to him. “If the Chief Justice of Pakistan can start a powerful movement after his sacking, the former military ruler can also start a similar campaign to defend his rights,”
If the Titanic was made in India
10) There would be 10 times as many people on the ship.
9) There has to be a song with a girl wearing a white dress, singing in the rain.
8) By the end of the movie he finds his mom, dad, sister and brother.
7) It's seven and half-hours long.
6) The movie would be called "Doobta Hua Pyar".
5) Kate Winslet played by Madhuri Dixit, and Leonard Di' Caprio played by Salman Khan.
4) The boat would sink, because there are too many people on it.
3) None of the people would float for long cause of the saris.
2) They would be serving mango fruity on the boat.
1) Wait a minute it was an Indian movie if you think abou it.
AND Can you imagine how many times we would hear "Bachaoooo"!!!
PS: The hero, heroine, his mom, dad, sister and brother will float in the cold water for days and yet survive. The villain will drown in the first drops of water.

FORMER MUSLIMS COMMENTS AGANIST ON ISLAM: PART-2
Friend, Finland
I have been a fanatic believer for most of my life. A couple of years ago took a risk - to do a critical study of Islam, including an in-depth study of the history of the emergence of Islam. I found that the very values Muslims claim to be representative of Islam were violated by Muhammed himself. He turns out to be a scam artist who got away with a hoax.
Raja Wahid, Pakistan
I could not bear the stupidity of Islam anymore, after reading Qur'an and hadith and biography of Mohammad with meaning.
Forhad, 54, Bangladesh
Because Islam is false doctrine of hate and terror ! for me Islam is a disease and must be recognize as a disease !!
Mazdak Sasani, 28, Pakistan, now in Afghanistan
What is there to say, just read the quran and you'll find out.
Ray, Australia, now an Agnostic
Why I left Islam: Intolerance of its teachings and its followers self-righteous claims that it is THE TRUE religion.
Jay, Pakistan, now an Atheist
My father was and still is imam in a mosque. I had many questions but there was no answer.
Mounif, Morocco
I think its too rigid and just dont make sense. Islam has become an Arab paganic religion.
Amr, Palestine, now a Christian
Simply because I could not delude my mind. I am an analytical mind.
Salim, Saudi Arabia, now a Rationalist
A lot of reasons. This religion stole my infancy and youth. I denounce this irrational, anti-scientific, barbaric, insane, dangerous, harmful, stupid, corrupted, superstitious, filthy religion, Islam, and its Shariat laws. I am a peaceful person and I love humanity. People must be aware of the truth of Islam, Mohammad, Quran and the history of Islam. BAR ISLAM-SHARIAT LANAT
Cafer, Azerbaijan, now an Agnostic
I left islam when I became old enough to think rationally and reason. But especially when I had enough courage to do so, its about courage and defiance more than it is about anything else. Don't be afraid to think !!!
Aba Lahb, Kuwait, now an Atheist
Because I’m Arab and we are at the lowest level of civilization, I wondered why we are like this. The culture is the main reason which is 1400 years old and the results have shown nothing at all.
Awwa7, the Gulf region, now an Atheist
The Quran is written by people who did not know what they were talking about. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED. NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUTH. That is what I realized after years of studies.
Badwi, Egypt, now a Theist
I cannot agree with a violent religion that claims to have a 'most merciful' god. I am now personally an Atheist and I now see the world in a whole new different better way. I invite you to join multiply.com and join a group where theists and atheists debate beliefs and science. It seems that I'm the only Muslim apostate there.
Fadhail, Singapore, now an Atheist
I am 39-year old ,from south Sudan. Now every time I look back to years I spent in this life I regret because of my connection to this religion they call Islam. It brought hell to my home land that I do not believe in hell any longer. One needs books to tell how this creed did to me personally and my generation!!!!
Muzamil , 39, Sudan, now a Humanist
I have left Islam because Muslim can't make a pencil of their own.
Ehsan, 28, Iran, left Islam aged 20
I was born Muslim but I left Islam after 4 years of thought and reading many Islamic books. I finally found that Islam was not a religion from any God and that Muhammad was an impostor. Now I'm 23 and I'm living a great life and every time I look back I laugh at myself and feel very stupid for accepting Islam as a religion. I want to say to all the people that are still afraid of coming out: Do it, you're not alone!

"There are too many reasons. I'll just sum it all up, Islam is the worst thing ever happened to mankind."

Prophet's Pedophilia, Scientific evidence against the Quran's miracles, and the general attitude of muslims around me including parents
DJ MSI, Egypt, now an Atheist
I can not compact all the things into texts, but it was like that: after growing up I saw that I became more intelligent than the others.. then I woke up and was grown.
Azgyl, 28, Austria
Understanding what the Qur'an is trying to convey and what the political Islam is doing, the inconsistencies, the hatred, the self pity, the blaming tactics, the refusal to look internally to see the rotten interior of the whole religious establishment, the constant persecution of the conscientious and the ‘intellectuals’ within and the suppression of the common folks by the religious establishment.

It deprived me of the things that made life worth living: hanging with friends, going to parties, girls during the teenage years. This misery caused me to examine Islam and I found that Islam was violent, intolerant and a plague on mankind.
Anonymous, Canada
Religions were created by humans for positive and negative purposes, Islam has very few of those positive so I don't need it.
love and peace for everything, Algeria
Because of what it preaches - violence, concept of Hell, Punishment, fear- overrides any other human needs like Love and caring for others. it's always about doing This or that or else... Rituals even in the prayers And fasting, korban etc. And the treatment of Women.... It's a cult alright.
Malay freethinker
I left Islam because I found that Islam is the motto of terrorism. It spread terrorism in the world. Mohammed was a hypocrite, womanizer, rapist and a murderer.
Imran, Bangladesh, now a Buddhist
Because I am no longer comfortable in it, and I discovered that I am more comfortable as a Christian, as Christian teachings made more sense to me than Islamic teachings.
Adam, Malaysia
The main reasons I left Islam are because I found out that it allows wife beating, Salman Khan with prisoners of war and Salman Khan with children and I cannot accept a prophet who allows this. Other reasons include the intolerance of other religions, an imperialistic foreign policy and the belief that all non-Muslims are going to hell.
Ben Rukhsana, Britain
Islam didn’t make sense in many ways, and then I saw the so-called "miracles" of Qur'an are exaggerated stories. By knowing these 2 facts, I knew Islam was not a religion from God, but a creation of mankind. I believe Islam is not right for me, because I believe humans are born free, and for Allah to impose laws on us is unfair. Sure, breaking the speed limit is also a law but it helps protect other innocent civilians. Following Islamic rules like eating Halal food, Prayer and Hajj doesn’t protect or benefit people in any significant way.
Sheraz Malik, United States
Islam is suffocating. Everyone, up to and including god is watching your every move. Did you pray five times today? Did you fast today? Been a good slave to Allah lately? To be fair, a lot of other religions are somewhat like that, because religion, when used as a method of crowd control, requires oversight.
Amin, Canada
I left Islam because it did not fulfill, or go along with my desire for love of the world. Ethically the concept of hell started my kufr.
Abu Lahab, United States
It's oppressive, restrictive, anti-humanism, stagnant, anti-progress, anti-joy, anti-women, and very violent and discriminatory in practice.
Ampbreia, United States
I left Islam because of glaring intellectual inconsistencies within the Quran and the Hadiths; because of the judgmental and angry way Islam deals with problems both internal and external.
Bean, United States
Because I became convinced that what Isa said in the Bible was true.
Anonymous
I started to realize how much hate there was in Islam. Especially after September 11th. I couldn't believe the support from a large number of Muslims for Osama bin Laden had for his crimes. Overtime, I started to have doubts about certain hadiths and ayats - later I found a website of other stories of people who left Islam. I looked closer at the ayats of scientific proof, I researched the "Satanic versed"... Everything just piled up against Islam... I just woke up...

Hello. I am a Muslim born with no choice. I am 14 now and am starting to realize the truth about Islam thanks to your website. But, as my mother allows me no free will to leave Islam, I need your help. I need you to tell me how to confront my mother about Islam and explain that I no longer want anything to do with this way of life. I tried telling her about some of the stuff on your site and she just kept on telling me that I can't trust sources on the Internet. Also, she says if I go on your website again, she'll remove some off my belongings (including the Internet). However, I do know how to clear my history and she doesn't know that much about computers so I know I'm fine. My mother is also a Muslim born without choice, but she is a devout! She sings songs about Islam everyday and it drives me insane. She also won't shut up about Islam and Allah. It drives me insane! She must be stopped! I have to tell her that I need to leave Islam because I won't become a mindless drone of Allah. I want to be free. I want to feel liberated.

Edo, 23, Bosnia & Herzagovnia, now an atheist
I've looked at Islam with an objective viewpoint and found no proofs. In the only thing that pretends to be proof - Qur'an, I found many elementary mistakes. For example: (86,5-7). But I am disturbed by that so many young people become fanatics and fundamentals. They forget about real life and live for praying. They are simply brainwashed.

I am Shahidul Islam, born in Bangladesh. I am a studying in Journalism & Mass Communication in Daffodil International University, Dhaka. I am converted to Atheist at the age of 25. I hate all kind of extremism & religion.
Shahidul Islam, 25, Bangladesh, now an atheist
Islam is based on barbarism, male chauvinism, racism [in favor of Arabs], censorship, lack of freedom of thought and terrorism.
Hale, United States
Leaving Islam was an outcome of a long process of thinking and analysis, a process that took many years. For me Islam is a religion based on hate, it does not believe and respect human rights based on humanism, and women`s rights. In Islam there is no space for democracy. It tries to survive through creating constant fear and providing dreams based on a fantasy world called heaven.

I left Islam after realizing that it is false in everything, it doesn't create civilized societies, it makes Muslims live centuries behind others in everything, it contradicts science and common sense. I live my life now in peace with myself and with others, I feel so happy for that.
HMS, 43, Jordan, now non-religious
I hail from a long line of non-believers. My great great grandfather was a chinese born atheist living in India. The story goes that he had run away from China and into India at a very early age. We have no record of our ancestors since before him. Not even his real name. He fell in love with a Muslim Indian girl and that's how it all began. My grandmother says that Atheism is in our blood, there's no getting away from it.
I was never forced to pray or into any other religious stuff by my father. But I was always under pressure or at war would describe it better, from my mother's side. That didn't work either. I guess I knew what was right for me all along.
I believe that every child is born free from religion. Hence it should be the right of the child to chose. I was told that at a very early age. Tried to find the right religion for myself, couldn't. I didn't agree with the whole Holy book theory. Why would a god.i.e. if there really is one, need the help of a man to spread his word? Why can't he do it himself? If there is a god, why doesn't he make an appearance? Why the mystery?
Aiax Muir, 35, Pakistan, now without faith
I was born in an Islamic country but I didn't have any knowledge of Islam. After I read the Qur'an I found this book to be absolutely rubbish, and in context it encourages its followers to kill and terrorize, thats all.
Shahin, 40, Iran, now an atheist
I was in turmoil with question, swinging toward modest and Sufism, until one day I met a friend my age. He gave me a French book about the origin of religions, then I started to go further and further in reading. I found out that I spent too much time defending religion without trying to find out about it. Many times I argued with atheists without asking myself about the reason for their atheism. Sometimes this arrogance in my belief made me unable to imagine a world without religion. And so it was, I spent year after year digging, until I found myself in peace. I am out of the gate of the so called heaven of believers. I matured, I am free, I have my conscience and my ethics.
Now, I don't ask about if the religion is true or not. I am trying to find out how people can live there life and find meaning without connected all the time to a religion, that determine there life, drag them out of it in the most cruel way; life is about living, not denying the living and wishing for another life after death.
Voltaire, 42, Egypt, now an agnostic
When I was 14, I began to realize how profoundly different Islam was from what I had been taught about it. I had been told that it is a religion of peace, democracy, scientific progress, humanism, etc. But it started to become clear to me that what I have been taught during my first 14 years of indoctrination was nothing but a lie generated by Muslim scholars to cover Islam's ass. I began to notice significantly ignorant and superstitious Islamic claims that include: the prohibition of music and art, the oppression of women, the lawfulness of slavery, the belief in other superstitious statements like witchcraft and demonic possession, etc. By the time I turned 15 I began to seriously doubt that the Quran is the word of God, mainly due to my realization of the scientific as well as historical errors in its context. However, I did hold on to the idea that the universe could not have created itself from nothing, therefore believing in a creator deity. Finally, I started to see how the latter claim is explicable, by the laws of quantum physics and string theory (as well as the emergence of life according to the Theory of Evolution). These creation myths in religion no longer meant anything to me. What is God then? If the universe had to have been created by a supernatural creator, doesn't that also mean God must have been created? Who created God's creator then, Ad Infinitum... The idea that before the Big Bang, time didn't exist also made more sense than God having existed forever. That is why the Big Bang Theory is such a profound scientific and reasonable claim. So I became and atheist. I have also come to notice that religion is the only burden to human happiness.
Nebras AlKhani, 15, Syria, now an atheist
I was only 10 years old when twin towers destroyed. All Muslims were happy. They supported Bin Laden though they were not sure whether he did it. I started to come to know about brutality of Islam. Can a god give permission of rape? Allah did. Can a god hate? Allah does. Al Quran cannot be word of god. It is possible that it is a word of Satan. I think it is word of Muhammad. When I was 16 I left Islam.
Md. Raihan Uddin, 21, Bangladesh, now a Humanist
As a kid I was skeptical about Islam as the true religion. I could never understand why i had to recite Quran multiple times or why do i have to go to a masjid on Friday where all they teach is hatred against humanity. I was never a true Muslims but kept up with the religious festivities due to having a Muslim family. I moved to United States with family when I was 18 and was a closet Agnostic till November of last year when I got to my conclusion on Islam through Quran and Ahadith. I found these scriptures to be illogical, irrational, anti-humanity and truly a threat to the rest of the world. Now, I am an atheist and have been studying more about science which back up my claims. I feel like I am in peace with this universe and I am a free man now, slave to no-one. Looking forward to my life, without God or Islam always having a problem with it.
Arslan, 25, Pakistan, now an atheist
I just got tired of being asked to believe things that didn't make any sense to me. Here is a short list of these:
- Whoever doesn't accept Islam after hearing about it and dies, he or she will go to hell even if he led a virtuous life. Yet a tyrant like Saddam who killed thousands will eventually go to paradise for the simple fact that his last words were "La Ilaha Ila Allah, Muhammad Rasulu Allah"...
- Jews are cursed and some of them were changed into apes and pigs. sounds like backward evolution to me.
- Women are "incomplete" in their intellect and religion. Most of them are in hell. I wanna go to hell then!
- Apostates should be killed. Yet the Quran says that there is no compulsion in religion.
- and of course all the stories of the prophets from Adam to Jesus that the Quran is full of... A lot of imagination.
Al-Ma3ari, 36, Morocco, now an agnostic
At the age of 14, after I found out that much of the problems in our culture is directly or indirectly related to Islam and religious views, I started to research about Islam and other religions. I read a lot of books about Islam and criticism of Islam from Persian writers like Ahmad Kasravi. I also discussed it with many people with different viewpoints from my own, especially communists and atheists. I've now learned it is possible to live with no faith in God.
Nima Kheradmand, 23, Iran, now an atheist
My family left Sudan during the war in Darfur, when we managed to get all the way to Kenya. The conflict in Sudan was highly ethnic, between the black people, Muslim and non-Muslim in the south against the Muslim Arabs in the north. I guess this is kind of what started my interest in the matter. I knew Islam was an Arabic religion, and considering how the Arabs had treated my people, I couldn't really find myself in anything of it. When I started reading into it in one of Mombasa's many libraries, I found out some more choking truths about Islam. Including the slavery, especially of African women, who were used as Salman Khan slaves for Arabic merchants. I shared my discoveries with my parents, but they didn't really seem to think about what I said. As time progressed, I realized all the hardship Islam and Muslims have caused Africa, and my people in particular. From just viewing it in an ethnocentric manner, it kind of grew on me as a criticism of islam as a religion overall. I couldn't find anything positive about it in the end of the day. Islam feels cold and inhuman for me. Today I am trying to turn to Buddhism, I say TRY because it is indeed hard.
Malik Adewa, 25, Sudan, now a Buddhist
It is an absurd idea that someone will eternally be burned and tortured in the hell because of not believing in someone else.
Kaan, 43, Turkey, now an agnostic
There is too much religion in the world. I started researching all religions 5 months ago. In these 5 months, I have read books, internet articles and Islamic web forums. I came to the following conclusion: if I was born a Christian family, my religion would be Christian, and if I was born in an Atheist family, then I would probably not have a religion. This is the fundamental reasoning that distances me from religion.
Ali, 22, Turkey, now an Agnostic
"Well, as happens with any person leaving his religion, I had this passion with that my religion and I was defending it seriously and objectively. I did not remember that I insulted any one in the arguments which I've had. I always hear different opinions. Then I saw things I've never seen before in my religion. Somethings I did not pay attention to before. Then I realized that my religion is full of superstitions and legends and Muhammad was a charlatan and he was mentally ill and all what he said was superstitions and that his religion calls for hatred and enmity for other nations"
Hazem, 14, Egypt, now a Deist
[edit]Former Muslims Who Are Female
I realised Islam was a fake religion, created only for Arabs (and other similarly-minded people) to gain power.
What God would want His creations to be beaten or executed for sinning? It's in our nature to sin - we're human beings. What God would clearly state that women are worth half of men? For me, it was obvious that a power-hungry Arab wrote this to control women and society.
I feel that Matthew 7:15-20 describes Islam and Muslims. I am not into proselytism, but could not be happier with my decision.
Daena, 18, Iran, now an Orthodox Christian
After 9-11, I became fascinated with the destructive force of the belief system those religious fanatics wielded. At first when I began to learn about Islam and decided to convert, my views became very anti-American. This was due to ignorance and naivety on my part. Eventually, I moderated my beliefs and that was when I began wearing the hijab; getting involved at the mosque, and praying/fasting - although I only fasted one time, as I was only Muslim for about a year. The more I learned, the more brainwashed I became. However, I soon began to realize that there were indeed inequalities in this religion, as well as contradictions. As painful as it was, I renounced my faith after a lot of thinking and soul searching. It was hard letting go, but I have stopped mourning and I have never felt as liberated as I do now.
Crow, United States, now agnostic
I was born in Pakistan, my mother's family were Catholic, and My father is Jewish. He converted to Islam and, at my birth, I was converted to Islam, I did get Quran lessons as a child but I was more in tune with the teachings of the Catholic Church. At this point I have come to realize that spirituality and religion are two different schools of thought and one does not have to involve the other. I started studying paganism, and found it far more empowering to women then any other major religion I have encountered. I would like to express my happiness at finding more like minded people who think with their hearts and minds, instead of being fed religious garbage by the clerics. Women have suffered all over the world in the name of God and culture, it's about time we put an end to this and elevate the Goddess Within each and every women. Blessed Be!! Taslima Nasrin, you are truly an inspiration to women all over the world. Blessings upon your brave and courageous soul.
Saira, Pakistan, now a Universal Spiritualist
Although I had had doubts since I was in my teens about the divinity of Islamic teachings, the straw that broke camel's back was reading about what is really in Quran and what Muhammad did in his Medina stay through websites like FaithFreedom.org and books by Ibn Warraq and Anwar Shaikh. Particularly disgusting was his massacre of all Quraiza tribesmen and taking beautiful Rehana - the wife of the tribe leader - to bed the same night; and Salman Khan with 17 year old Safia after killing her husband Kinana and his people in Khyber. Other disturbing revelations were Muhammad's marriage to 6 year old Ayesha, his sleeping with slave girls and concubines,his assassinations of his critics, the Quran's declaration of violence against non-Muslims, raping of captive women and slaves & looting of non Muslims as pious act worthy of paradise. That left no doubt in my mind that Islam is not divine, it is a dangerous cult.
Ayesha Ahmed, India, now an atheist
I was a Saudi muslim. I have read and understood the teaching of Islam since elementry school and I have been given high doses of the Quran and ahadith, but I could not be convinced to believe in everything. It is simply because it is against logic and science. Thanks.
Shitan, Saudi Arabia
I was forced into Islam because I was underage and because of my father who thought it can help him in his work. I have longed and wished to be a Christian since I was in Primary school, but I had to wait until I was old enough to decide for myself. My dad never forced me or helped me to learn about the Islamic religion. We never even talked about it. I am disappointed there is still a religion like this forcing apostate to remain as a Muslim. Only God can decide one's life and only he can decide we live or die. The law is written by people. Shouldn't we discard what is not applicable to this century instead of killing or forcing people just because of something that is written a long time ago. Cruelty should not be a religion. The world will have no peace if we fight just because of some holy scripts written by our forefathers. Where do we seek help to be a free citizen in Malaysia disregard of what religion and race?
Marianne, Malaysia, now a Christian
There are many reasons why I left Islam, but the biggest was the violence and hate! I didn't realise how much hate was in the Quran until I actually read it page by page! Also I didn't get any respect, even though I tried my best to be a good Muslim. I lived in Egypt and I saw first hand how the Mullahs in the village mosques were spreading hate! I also couldn't be proud to call myself a Muslim especially when a lot of child abuse goes on in Islamic countries and hypocrisy!
Amanda Ueta, United Kingdom, now a Jew
If I believed in God and Satan, I would be sure that Islam is the religion of Satan, and Muslims are devil-worshipers. Of course, most Muslims are not evil by nature. Most of my friends still call themselves Muslims because they identify the religion with their cultural roots. However, they have no clue what the religion is truly about, and will probably never find out as they don't bother to attend mosque or read the Quran. In the end, these friends are actually apostates like me. They just have never bothered to label themselves as such due to complacency or disinterest. What scares me is not this multitude of quasi-Muslims, but the multitude of real Muslims. They are the one's that can do the damage. I left Islam after listening to a few of them speak at a CAIR convention. They horrified me with their hatred and bigotry. I went straight home and researched the religious reasoning behind their words. I was shocked to find out that it was these hate-filled monger's who were following Islam, and not I. So now I am an apostate.
Fatima, Morocco, now an atheist
I've always felt restricted among the Muslim society and my family. I stopped praying years ago. I began to realize my lack of religious belief, because I didn't feel any remorse or fear of "Allah" for not being a good Muslim. And when my parents or Sunday school teachers would tell me of stories and miracles of the Quran or Muhammad's life, I saw them only as childish exaggerations that didn't make sense or align with human nature. Even passages from the Quran sounded like something out of a child's book. I felt handcuffed and gagged. The times I did speak up and express my opinions to my parents, they completely freaked and then dismissed my curiosity as being of a "foolish uneducated child," I was not born to submit my free will to God or any religion. I have freed myself emotionally from the bondage of religion. I count the days till I am also free physically.
Julia Potter, Egypt, now agnostic
I don't hate Islam - that is a fact. I just couldn't find peace there. The fact that I was always punished for everything, that I have to pray 5 times a day, that I can't drink one glass of wine, can't have a boyfriend, can't wear what I want; all that just annoyed me and then the fact that most Muslims view other non Muslims as atheists and think that non Muslims will go to hell, this just doesn't seem right. To be honest, I didn't officially leave Islam because people here would kill me, but I have cut all relations to Muslims and Islam, I am going to church now, I am happy there, I am waiting till I graduate from university and leave to the states so I can officially convert.
Dima, Palestinian Authority area, now a Christian
I struggled with myself for a few years before leaving Islam. My conscience led me out finally. Islam is a scary religion - often accepted by people with good intentions and a real lack of information. I left basically because I discovered what being a Muslim means. Had I a better understanding when I accepted Islam, I would have NEVER have converted. I believe most converts suffer from great ignorance. Good people who think freely cannot maintain peace of heart and mind in Islam.
Once I left Islam, my Muslim husband starting treating me very differently. Suddenly I didn't deserve his goodness. He once even told me that he couldn't look at me because my hair wasn't covered. Ultimately we divorced.
Kat, United States, now a Christian
After reading Surah Al-Nisa ("The women") in the Quran, I knew that Mohamad was not God's messenger and I believe that Islam was a religion only for the barbaric Arabs at that time not civilized nations such as Persia.
Maryam, Iran, now a Christian
It all started 6 years ago when I met the man who would become my first husband. Though I respected Islam, I didn't really want to convert. The local MSA found out and promptly pushed me to "save" myself from sin.
Needless to say, I felt I made a mistake when 2 weeks after my conversion, I was nearly raped by a Muslim man. My first marriage failed and I hastily married another Muslim man who claimed to be a Sufi. As it turns out, he was addicted to Salman Khanography and had no respect for women at all. So I came back home after a few months of marriage. Living as a Muslim was hell. I couldn't find a job because I wore a hijab and 9-11 didn't make anything easier for me.
I met my current husband a few years ago. We suffered a lot of mistreatment at the hands of the Muslim community. Finally things got so bad we decided to save ourselves - so we left Islam.
We are Buddhists now and much happier. We have learned how to live again.
Laughingbuddha, Canada, now a Buddhist
I have been Muslim by name, but day by day I was growing up and seeing the real face of Islam. Proudly I left it. I don't want to be a Muslim. Who would be part of some bloody and stupid religion. NO ONE!
Nazanin, Iran, now a Humanist
I converted to Islam some time ago, and been a steadfast observer for four years, in which I spent much of my time extensively reading the Qur'an, and the explanations available, articles from Islamic sites, counsels given by Imams to different people on those sites and discussions between Muslims on forums. I got to know other converts and Muslim people, but slowly, I started to realize that even if i try my best to fit in, I would not be able to.
I browsed for 'feminist' Islamic sites and modern-progressive Islamic sites, but they seemed to be a drop in an ocean of misunderstanding and blind following of traditions. Sometimes some explanation given to me to 'excuse' something, I would find difficult to digest, it would seem flimsy to me, but I`d just force myself to believe it. But at one moment I stopped and realized that if I could go on like this, it is not the life I would like my children to have, that if I will ever have children.
So I stopped lying to myself, and here I am.
I don`t think Islam is plain wrong, many people find peace and illumination in it, but I just did not find anything better than in my old beliefs, nothing inspiring.
So I quit trying.
Fatma, Romania, now a Christian
I always had doubts ever since converting to Islam around 2 years ago. However, the turning point was when I began to learn some Judaism and Hebrew. Well, according to Islam, Jews are the enemies, so I got even more interested in the matter. I ended up realizing the illogical nature of Islamic theology, e.g. the Most Merciful G-d burning people forever just because they did not testify the authority of Muhammad. I certainly believed in G-d but when i began to realize how much arrogance, hatred and corruption Islam actually involves, I gradually moved away from my belief that Muhammad is the prophet of G-d. It naturally caused some problems with Muslim friends of mine but it was a step I had to take. I don't regret being Muslim for 2 years, because I learned a lot, and there was lot of good stuff in there to learn as well. Oh, and that constant labeling of people into kafirs and such. It's just unbelievable what was going on in my life.
Shimon, United Kingdom, now a Jew
Why I left Islam? Simple, I read the Koran and Sira of Mohammad for the first time in my life and realized that this cult is an insult to the dignity of all human life and intelligence. One does not have to be a scholar or an intellectual to understand that this religion is based in fear, stupidity, and bigotry. We just have to look at Islamic countries to see this. Three other members of my family have also apostatized for the same reasons and we are working on the remaining members by encouraging discussion and raising questions about Islamic practices and by critiquing the personality of Mohammad and his sahaba. I've seen that this helps sew the seed of doubt in people and induce further research on the subject by them who would other wise rely on so called Ulema to answer questions for them.
Saba Khan, United Kingdom, now an agnostic
As Muslims use to say: I was born as muslim among a religious and traditional family. But I grew up in a western country and at young age and progressivly I got interested in the real and true issues of life and sciences that I couldn't bear the darkness, hatred and cruelty neither of Islam nor any other religion. All religions are manmade because humans need something to rely on due to their fears and disability to rely on their own and on rationality. As a woman I had the "delightful honour" to experience the peaceableness and justice teached by Islam and it's devotees. Advice to muslim readers: the last sentence contains irony.
Lily, Germany, now an atheist
My parents tried to force this religion on me, but what I saw of their religious dedication was a radical and mean-spirited fanaticism that did not embody any attributes that I would ever aspire to. I never embraced Islam and have felt much pain from my parents as a result. My parents threatened to have my friends killed, they have beaten and abused me, threatened my friends and have held guns to my little sister's head when they found that she had a boyfriend. This religion is divisive and dangerous.
NYCGIRL, United States, now an agnostic
I believed my life was made into a lie by the religious rules which makes nothing of me real. I found that religion had provided very little space for individualism and vast majority of the practicing Muslims were too suffocating with their need to impose their views on others. I found the religion suppressive to my level of intellectual capacity apart from devaluing my existence as a woman. I also felt there was very little room for discussions at an equal level which allows healthy respect for differences amongst Muslims when it comes to rules of God. I found the rules of God very contrived and very often lack common sense. I believe God has nothing to do with Islam, and Islam is purely one of those political ideologies which originated in the Middle East with strong Middle Eastern values which are not 100% applicable on others especially in these day and age.
Ninetta, Malaysia, now an agnostic
Getting married to a strict Muslim man made me think and leave Islam. There is a hadith that wives must be available to her husband whenever the mood struck him. "I asked my husband and he told me that this was true." I realized that I could get raped because it was allowed in the Koran. I could not leave the house without my husbands permission. When I married I was forty-three years old and had a five year old son and before I became a Muslim I was independent, and I was not going to let some man tell me what I could or could not do. I decided that there was a lot of misogyny (female hatred) in Islam and I was not going to be controlled and told what and how to think by my husband or any religion. God gave me a mind to think and I feel that being a Muslim makes one stop thinking.
Awake, United States
I entered Islam several years ago in the belief that it was a peaceful religion. Had I known it was the HOTEL CALIFORNIA. You can check in anytime you want but you can never leave. I NEVER WOULD HAVE REVERTED. I was abused by a Muslim man and lost myself inside this insipid religion. I am happy to be out and although I lost a big support network of so called friends, I found myself again..
If you are a Muslim wanting to get out you can do it. You need to start building a Christian network of friends and talking about it with Christians and other non Muslims. Go slow and take your time.
But take precautions..They especially hate former Muslims when they speak out big time traitors I guess. HAPPY TO BE GONE.
Margaret, United States, now a Christian
I cannot trust that God would send a book that is racist and Salman Khanist if he created us all. God should not be jealous and mean if he has power over all things. He should not change his mind to please a mere human (Mohammad) so on and so forth. This is not a religion but a cult based on fear.
Clara, Canada, now a Christian
I reject this religion of injustice, only made for men, of aillor. I never chose my religion. One imposes it on us at our birth. It is a religion of violence and of non-comprehension. In any case, the Islamic religion is being rejected more and more by all categories of people. I am happy in my new religion.
Khadija Leben, Algeria, now a Christian
Islam is nothing but a headache and a biased, disrespectful, unequal religion that leaves women out, and is only beneficial for Muslim men. Why the hell should we women cover ourselves if the men cannot control themselves? Why is it that women get the death penalty when they have made a mistake or been raped, and men get away with marrying 4 women and having Salman Khanual intercourse with 4 different women at the same time? How does this make things equal between men and women? Islam is nothing but a whole load of bull shit (excuse my language). Why do we have religion in the century we are in? Don't you think people have evolved and have an understanding of what is right and wrong? I totally understand why religion was there before Christ was born, and that was to lead our people to a good way of life and to be good, but why do we need it now? Just be good to each other and not commit a bad deed.
Unknown1, United Kingdom
My story is long, but I will make it short. I was tired of seeing how the so-called men (brothers) were treating the women (sisters). When the women were divorced too many of them were not maintained like they were supposed to be. I went to help a sister out and she was in such disrepair that I could not allow myself to leave my husband and marry someone else just because they are Muslim, and maybe he may end up and treat me bad like so many other women. The other reason is that there is so much backbiting/slander/fitnah in the communities it just doesn't even pay to have friends anymore. So this means you are stuck inside your house all day everyday just to avoid drama in your community. What type of life is that? I refuse to let some man do as he wills to me and I'm suppose to just roll over and take it and not complain. Short as I could make it. I left so much out, but these two problems are what ended my Islam for me!
Na'weh, United States
Hi I left Islam last year because I couldn't be bothered, and got fed up with praying five times a day, and mosque and all, because I realized it did not benefit me and it was a waste of time. It is boring and I now don't practice Islam. I asked Mohammed and Allah to help me and they did not, so I am not Muslim now. I'm good and now I have more time to play games and do my schoolwork. I told my parents. They said nothing and so I now do not believe in Mohammed and Allah, unless he helps me. I am now what they call an Atheist and I don't care if I go to hell because I think there is no hell and when die I just rot and decay and my existence ceases.
Zezima, now an atheist
The teachings are against my emotions, intelligence, beliefs and needs.
Paars Ruby, Malaysia, now an atheist
I think the position of women in orthodox form of Islam is not what a true Creator would want, if one exists. Though my feelings are not as strong as Salman Rushdie or Taslima Nasreen, my bonds are so weak that I consider myself more secular than a proper Muslim.
Khaleda Zia, Bangladesh, now an agnostic
Islam doesn't agree with my beliefs. The whole dog thing and then the sacrificing. Argh! I can't handle that! I'm a vegan!
Sarah, United States, now a Wiccan
I have no hatred toward the Muslims, rather I love them and hope one day they will wake up from their Utopian dream and embrace rest of the human race with love and compassion. Long Live Secularism.
Fariel, Bangladesh, now an Atheist
“I never was really in to Islam but due to the love for a Muslim I tried my best to see good things in Islam. When I read about the prophet and the marriage with young Aisha I began to understand that this religion can't be from God. ”

“I felt stifled by constantly having to cover up. That may be all right for some Muslim women, but not for me. Also, I felt restless and bored sitting in Mosque, I don't know Arabic, so why should I sit in Mosque and be bored?”
Illyria, Canada
“Martial rape, being controlled. Not able to think on your own. Misogyny. hijab. Also more importantly I have a five year old son and I do not want him thinking that everyone who is not a Muslim is a 'Kuffar' and should be hated and killed.”
Vivian
“If you truly follow Islam, that means you must live in fear of hellfire all the time. Even though Islam dictates every aspect of your life, it fails to promote the most important values, like honesty, respect for all of humanity, individual choice and accountability, love, and I could go on. ”
Eva, United States
“Their teachings goes against many human rights.”
Elixx
“I learned that according to Islam, non-believers are going to hell no matter what, which is not fair, it is a religion that is hard to follow and time consuming. Plus, as I women I couldn't accept the need to wear the veil (Q 4:31) and that men can beat women (Q 4:34).”
Murtad Mama, Canada
Islam has shown me judgment, fear and guilt. No rights as a woman and a coldness... It did not offer the answers I sought...
Anonymous, United States
I left Islam because my soul was screaming for release, I intuitively knew it wasn't holy.
Drak, Australia
I divorced a brother that tried to, if not almost, killed me. And I met someone who is now my husband and knew that it was true love I saw in him.
bonuke, United States
I left Islam when it dawned on me that women's thinking mattered less in the Arab culture. I began to think whether I should accept that way of life. As I began reading Middle Eastern and Western feminists, I realised how irrational Islam is in the context of today's women. Gradually, after much consideration, I came to the position of an atheist.
Shazna Begum, 28, United Kingdom, now an atheist
I've always questioned Islam as a little girl. I used to pretend that I've prayed by arranged the prayer mat in a certain manner to get my parents off my back. When my parents married me off to my religious first cousin at age 18, I started to hate Islam. He opened my eyes to this hate, and I started to reflect my disgust on my cousin-husband especially after he started quoting the Qur'an and the Hadith for his own end. "Oh you don't sleep with me then angels will descend upon you and curse you until you wake!" I soon got divorced at age 22 and that's when I started living. I took off the Hijab and I've never been happier. My family disowned me but that's their own loss. I'm living happily with my husband -who's not a Muslim- in the United States. Wake up people, Islam is a disease!
An Infidel, 24, Bahrain, now an agnostic
In my country everybody is Muslim but no one really bothers to read Qur'an. They believe in a book but they don't know what's written in it. So I read Qur'an it was far more different than what I was expecting. All my life I was thought that Islam was a religion of peace, the more I read it, the better I understood that it was all a lie. I was expecting something like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but it tells you about wars and that you should die for God, you'll be in heaven with voluptuous young girls, threatens you with hell if you don't obey his rules, that women is beneath men and some supernatural stuff.

I grew up Muslim, and until the time I was 13 I never questioned it. My very first doubts came to me around that time, when I first learned what homoSalman Khanuality was (though I was mainly raised in the US, my parents kept me very 'sheltered'). So after I learned what being gay was I thought it was no big deal and moved on until I realized many religious groups opposed homoSalman Khanuality in general, and I though Islam possibly couldn't be the same way- well, yeah, it was and is. But I ignored it. Time went by, and as I got older I started feeling rather oppressed since the harsh rules of women in Islam started getting pushed on me (I'm actually gender non-binary, but tough luck explaining that to Muslim parents). Again, I just googled it. And...that pretty much put me off from being religious. But still, my faith persisted out of fear. I finally realized around my 15th birthday that I just couldn't ignore all the moral faults in Islam (which isn't the main reason I'm a non-Muslim today; read: no proof and scientific contradictions). I remember just crying like crazy that night, realizing that my family will never, ever accept me like this. Anyways, since then (1 and a half years ago), nobody in my family still knows (I think), and I'm just waiting for college so I can get up and leave this place so I can live a life worth living.
