I originally came from Sudan, with a background of a Muslim family, extended and nuclear. Personally, I have never believed in Islam or have been a practicing Muslim, although Muslims in general consider any person in their society a Muslim by birth. That is the reason why I have never applied before to the membership of the EX-Muslims Council. I am an scholar who has been studying both Islam and Christianity for several years and ended up in being an atheist. I have written, and published online, several articles about the teachings of the Quran. Also I have presented many lectures on many aspects of the Sharia Laws at many venues from radically and comprehensively analytical and critical standpoint towards the teachings of Islam.
My academic background is that of an architect-town planner. I have the privilege of speaking, reading and writing Arabic fluently as a mother-tongue language, which indeed helped me in reading and understanding, and therefore knowledgeably interpreting the original manuscripts of Islam.
I am absolutely convinced that the teachings of Islam represent a serious threat to humanity at large, particularly as it is practiced by extremist Islamist organizations such as ISIS and al-Qaeda.
I would like to apply to the membership of the council to contribute positively to the ultimate eradication of such madness.
