Hi i'm a total noob to the Atheist Forums :P
June 29, 2011 at 12:25 pm
Hey everyone i'm an American Moroccan and I was born in Saudi Arabia. As a young kid I witnessed how Islam took a hold of other people around me. Men used to look at my mother and I when walking down the street and ask "Where's your man?!". After a few years there, I then moved to the UAE. In the UAE I became reluctant to follow Islam and started having serious doubts about it. I became a closet Atheist and questioned my Islamic teacher until she became blue in the face. She kept coming back at me telling me "EVOLUTION IS JUST A THEORY!" I couldn't accept that given the overwhelming evidence to support it. I have witnessed around me how religion affects people's behavior and their world view. Many of the people that went to school with me were religious hypocrites who would tell me to stop talking at parties when the "ahthan (prayer call) was being sounded. They would continue their vodka when the call ended  ! I'm currently in Morocco but will be going to Purchase New York shortly to attend Purchase University. =) I have now become an Agnostic Atheist. How is everyone doing

Doin good, welcome aboard, I just joined yesterday myself. Maybe you can do a bit to beef up the activity in the Islam subforum.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

Welcome to the forum, Adam.
You'll be liked around here because currently there are no ex-Muslim members in this forum.
There was annatar before, an ex-Muslim, and we had some good discussions. But sadly, he hasn't been posting for quite a while. (Maybe he left because of me? I hope not).

Nah, some people are current believers in this or that, some are ex believers, and there are also those like myself who aren't ex anything, some of us were fortunate enough to be raised without religious beliefs.

Yeah, I'm sure that most atheists in this forum did not come from a Muslim background/family. But, it doesn't really matter because you're in the atheist group anyways.
