Greetings All the way from the Middle East !

[Nine]

Definiatly dont risk your dreams mate. Unfortunatly you are not in a part of the world where you can let people know your view. You know what you believe and thats whats important. Plus you can share it with us

[Rayaan]

Welcome. Hamany. That was a nice and thorough intro.

There doesn't seem to be any other ex-Muslim members who are currently active. So, you'll be a good addition to the forum.

Feel free to talk about anything you like. We also have a section for Islamic topics only.

[Abracadabra]

Thank you for suggesting that.but I dont think it will work.we do have very small percentage of Buddhism but i dont think converting to Buddhism publicly will solve the issue.its not like they dont want Atheism here.its they dont want any *ex-muslim* so converting any other religion will be the same result as atheism.its far more complicated then that.there are a few or more people who tried to share their atheism in our media or book stores and they all end up kicked out of the country.and i am not letting that happen to me.Nothing foolish then losing my *free* education which i am working on right now.

I appreciate your thoughts and suggesting but again.This will not work


+ Thank you all for the replies and the welcoming.

I understand. Since you already were a Muslim converting away from it would be seen as a major "sin" and direct blaspheme.

Yeah, you're in a bad situation for sure. Sorry to hear that.

Good luck with your education and future career!

and you never know.maybe there will be time were i decide to live other country and such... in other word i still have a long way to go.no need to rush things up

G'day Hamany, from Adelaide South Australia.

Middle East but not afraid for your life for being a Muslim apostate?

Egypt? Turkey? Israel? Not that it matters,I'm just being nosey.

Welcome.

[Creed of Heresy]

Stories like yours both inspire me and depress me. It's inspiring because it shows that even those living in the most exceedingly oppressive religion today can be converted to the side of free thought and inquiry. Depressing because you are stuck in an exceedingly oppressive society that WILL torture and possibly kill you for your rational thinking. Pity you don't live in the States or Europe where your expression of self would not result in such inhumane treatment. Still...at least you have this site! I wouldn't draw attention to it too much, however; I don't know how much the Saudi government spies on its own people but best to play it cool all the same. Better safe than dead, right? Welcome to the growing number of people forsaking superstition and embracing free inquiry, we can only hope that in our lifetimes we become the global majority!

Harmany, to our little corner of madness on the web.

Glad to hear that not EVERY person in the Middle East" is hidebound to their book .

Good-luck with your studies... Check out the Science section on this forum... very interesting and you get to ask really silly questions (I do) all in the name of learning!

[Minimalist]

Bravo, Hamany.

We tend to forget sometimes even when we bitch about jesus freaks shoving bibles at us that there is really no physical threat. They are a nuisance but rarely get to kill anyone for not accepting their particular holy bullshit story....although they doubtlessly would welcome that power again.

It takes real courage to do what you have done over there.



I salute you.

I really understand how you feel about this topic but let me get a few things right.first of all.there is no killing involved in this whole situation,Like i said before.Only Suadia arabia does it and I DONT live there.the worst thing that can happen to me personally is kicked out of the country or put me in psycho doctor lol. ( i am just guessing )


about the site attention.how dare you.I already loved it.i dont live in place were there is a freaking FBI and CIA watching every key i push in my keyboard.I think you should take it easy

[KichigaiNeko]

Don't stress, Harmany. ALL govt agencies are watching... and we don't care.

My take on it is... "Fine, you want to watch silly little me?? I'll give you something to watch and by the way; I prefer WHITE underwear do get it right!!"

Oh and there is this
