I am a British Asian (female) living in Europe. I am using a pseudonym. I struggled with accepting many issues addressed in the Quran since I was 17. As a Vegan, I simply cannot accept the doctrine or the Islamic culture with a heavy focus on animal products. I cannot see Islam as a universal religion compatible with ALL times. In fact any religion can get in the way of spiritual development. I have been on the move as I do not want my family to find out, and I don't want to hurt them either. I have tried telling my siblings but they ignore me. For my protection, i am only in contact with my family (siblings, no parents sadly) via email for the past few years. I refuse to give them any other details and I keep moving. I absolutely don't want to hurt them and I miss them very much. I would rather avoid confrontation and pain.
