I started life in a Muslim family in Iran. My mom and dad were not religious and never forced me to follow Islam in any way. As a curious child I began exploring Islam and got involved in it. By the age of 12 I was actively involved in school prayers.

It all started to go wrong (or rather right) when my Quran teacher mentioned that believers of other faith would not go to heaven. At the time my best friend was a Christian and I knew with certainty that if there was a heaven and a just god, he would have to be letting him into his heaven.

I started studying Islam in greater detail. I began reading the translations of Quran to understand what the scriptures meant and what I discovered were shocking. It was a cruel, outdated and morally wrong book very obviously copied from other religions put up by a man.

The contents didn\'t make the slightest sense in the current moral view of the world. I secretly ceased being a Muslim by the age of 15. I focused all my effort into science. I soon found out that science answered questions that religion could not ever begin to discuss. And when it did not know the answer, it never claim to have them.

Five years ago I started reading books by Richard Dawkins and the Christopher Hitchin which further sealed my emotions against Islam. Today I publicly deny Islam in every chance I get. Because I feel,it is important that people know that the loud minority of religious fundementalist are not the representatives of any middle eastern country.

And I have this vision of a middle east clear of Islam and other superstitions. The only way to achieve is by educating and being vocal against Islam. I hope I can do my share.
