This is probably one of the very few forums which gives voice to many people out there who out of fear, humiliation and many other reasons have been neglected and abused because of their stance on something as personal as belief or rather lack of belief in God. One has to be brought up in a Muslim family to understand that even the most moderate of Muslims can not fathom their sons and daughters denouncing Islam, and one can loose their family, friends and loved ones just because he/she would not and can not bring themselves to live a lie day in and day out. From childhood our perception of life and beyond it, the world and its varied population are all moulded by Teaching of Islam and to go against all that does take one an odyssey which is emotionally and physically challenging.

It\'s such a bitter sweet experience going through the testimonials of the members on this forum, i feel im not alone in this struggle against these draconian dogmas which have not only ripped us apart from our families and loved ones but turned them against us to the point where we fear harm and malice from people we once relied on. Hopefully one day our future generations will not have to go through what we have/are going through.
