My family always have known that i wasn\'t very muslim since hitting my early teens. To cut the long story short without talking about my up bringing- once you leave you will be left isolated by majority of your family (cousins, uncles, aunties) and they would be quick to form an opinion of you and even go as far as making things up about you so others stay away due to the fear of people following suit. What they will never understand is that religion doesn\'t define a person, it\'s the person inside who knows the difference between right and wrong and does not judge others by faith or race. I never found religion the biggest issue, it\'s the people within the religion that are narrow minded that drove me away.
