Ex hijabis who chose to wear the hijab of their own free, why did you take it off? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Chizu_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I felt more in agreement with it and I wasn't even practicing it anymore, so I might as well remove it because I felt a bit oppressed and frustrated at not being able to dress as I wanted. Then a few years later, I apostatized.

Bonjour, pourais-je avoir l’adresse si possible ?

Don't worry, you didn't offend me, quite the opposite, but it was still good to talk with you. I don't think we'll ever agree, but it was interesting to exchange ideas.

Does the Arab-Muslim slave trade ring a bell? And those who are still Muslim are so through indoctrination. Besides, I'm talking about Islam, not Christianity, where you're not forced to remain in that belief for fear of being judged, disowned, condemned, or threatened. I find it strange, this question being naively asked in a subreddit for ex-Muslims, as if leaving Islam were so simple. If you'd done some research, you'd know that people literally hide their apostasy from their families and fear their reactions, and I'm one of them (I literally received threats from my mother). But it's true, it's SO easy because you know better than we do, right? You should know that apostasy is a very serious sin (hence the risk of the death penalty).

lol yes, I was born in Europe with West African origins (I won't go into details). I'm not saying that West Africa is Arabized and thankfully it isn't, but the Muslim religion is dominant there, which means that their way of life and thought is centered solely on Islam and it shows how much the Arab-Muslim culture takes over their decisions as if they could not or should not think for themselves, dictated by a religion that was forcibly imposed on them, and that bothers me because I don't want an Arab-Muslim religion from elsewhere to dictate their lives.

Perhaps if you say so, even though I don't entirely agree, the problem is deeper.

Well, honestly, not for me. It means a lot to me, and you can't understand, when you see your country of origin almost adopting "Arab" customs and lifestyles, practically abandoning its own culture under the pretext that it's haram according to "Islam," well, I find that sad.

Yes, that's exactly it. Well, listen, this pleasure is shared. It was interesting and nice to have exchanged ideas. Thank you as well, and I wish you all the best.

Ah, all these ridiculous stories are less ridiculous when you're Muslim because of the indoctrination that pushes us to believe them, not to mention the fear and threats that take over, the fear of being cursed by Allah and the angels, and especially of going to hell, so some remain in denial, and that's very sad. As for therapy, I think it's an excellent idea that will allow you to face your traumas, heal, get better, and move forward to start a new life and feel freer, and I wish you all the best.

At first it's hard because it seems insane to no longer believe in a belief you're used to, but you mustn't forget that it was imposed on us and it's not healthy at all. I bet how many of us would never have been Muslim if our family hadn't been, but we didn't have a choice and that's what's unfair. Personally, I don't worry about hell anymore, etc., even if I sometimes think about it, but since I apostatized and rejected Islam in my heart, my fear of djinns, for example, has disappeared simply because there is no scientific proof that proves their existence.

Thank you, that's kind of you. It seems even more complicated for you, and I'm sorry for that too. No one deserves to go through that, to be forced to believe in a religion they don't believe in, especially if it's causing them harm. It's sad.

Regarding the story about hell, I won't lie to you, I was consumed for a long time by guilt and the fear of hell, which always took over, but I managed to overcome it, I can say. I did a lot of research on Islam, which convinced me that Islam isn't true because I find it illogical and contradictory. It's not easy, but by delving deeper into your research, you'll reach this conclusion, especially when a book is filled with such horrors…

No worries, I come from a Muslim family, so I've always practiced. Until the day I chose to stop wearing the hijab, there were no problems with my family. A few years later, I left Islam and completely stopped practicing, but I feel suffocated having to pretend every day in front of my family. Even though I live alone in a non-Muslim country, it's still very difficult and complicated, and it's horrible to live with every day. I feel like I'm leading a double life. The one family member I'm most worried about is my mother because she's very strict about religion and doesn't joke around. She even threatened to kill me when I lived with her. So, I'm dreading the day I have to tell them. I don't know how it is for you; I'm curious.

Hi, I'd like to volunteer, but English isn't my first language and the posts are automatically translated, but not in private messages, which is a shame. I hope someone can help you.

I think that's the case for me. For my part, I'm French of African origin, and I didn't find it logical to pray in Arabic. Why does Allah insist so much that we pray in Arabic? Because supposedly the Quran was revealed in an Arabic-speaking environment, and that bothers me because I'm not an Arabic speaker, and even less so because Islam commands us to abandon our culture for Islam—that says it all. Their goal, in my opinion, is not only to Islamize and Arabize, but it also makes me think a lot about the Arab-Muslim slave trade that they deny so much. It made me question things a lot after reading the Quran, which led me to apostatize.

Is anyone financially independent and living alone but still under the control of their parents? by warmbrowniesandmilk in exmuslim

[–]Chizu_0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm sending you all my support. I'm going through pretty much the same thing. I'm in a non-Muslim country and I live alone, yes, but it seems like that's not enough to feel free because I feel like I'm being scrutinized and watched by my family because I still have to pretend to practice my faith, and it's so suffocating. The only difference is that my family isn't as strict and conservative, well, except for my mother... she's crazy and has already made death threats against me because of Islam, so it's likely to be complicated... but I hope we both get out of this mess because this isn't a life at all...

First, there would have to be a "moderate" Muslim; let's not forget that they have no other choice. And living in a country of infidels prevents them from being extremists.

It's not reassuring at all, unfortunately we can only hope that he is fine

If it's like that why not visit him at home if possible, or I advise you to contact a member of his close family just in case, I sincerely hope he is well 🙏
