Hey everybody
I'm Domi from Saudi Arabia (Jeddah city), Iam 24 years old
I Don't know where to start, since i was a kid at school attending the islamic teaching , i have never felt that it was convincing to me in anyway what i used to learn and hear because it was kind of like brainwashing and never felt the holiness of it, so i chose to just to pass the exams on that particular subjects and that's it , but what i hated the most is the culture and the way that most of the people are just pretending to be religious because in the same time they're just hypocrites , so i ignored it because i was just as any kid or teenager loves to have fun and enjoy that period of my life, even though my family are muslims but they're open minded and never really bothered me and forced to pray or whatever. so once i finished high school i decided to go to the west because since i was a kid i really fell in love with western culture and freedom etc, so i visited Istanbul as a start because my background is Turkish so I thought I would like to visit that place to know more about my culture and then to Europe until I decided to go to Canada for my bachelor degree, so then I had the chance to read to ask with no fear, I was reading a lot of books about religions especially Christianity and Jewish etc. but Islam is the only religious culture that made me go insane for a while because no one is allowed to question it, because once you do that you will be threatened to go to jail or killed just if you say anything against it. so I went back to Saudi Arabia and this time believe I feel like i'm in hell I only have one friend that shares my thoughts and that's it, even though i'm in lightened I still feel that i'm lost and I feel I don't belong here because I don't feel safe or connected to this society, so right now I'm working on leaving this place for good and start a new life elsewhere , where I have my space and freedom, hopefully very soon. wish me goodluck and sorry for this long post I just felt that I needed to share this with you guys
thx
