Statement

Since I decided to leave Islam, I feel isolated a bit. I can't discuss my thoughts and opinions with my family, I can't talk about how I feel so I have been looking around for people with similar background and ideas/like minded people for support and to exchange experiences. The journey to leave religion wasn't an easy one for me, as I'm sure it is for all Ex-Muslims. I come from a conservative Salafi family and I have been a strict Salafi myself and now I feel angry for all the time I wasted and I developed a huge sense of missing out- not to mention the deep guilt and fear of hell that I haven't completely overcome, yet!
