Apostate of Arabia (Former Muslim)

Testimony of Leaving Islam
Growing up in a conservative household in Saudi while attending an American school was an unorthodox experience during childhood. We would learn all about American Civil wars, struggle for freedom, secularism, etc. during the day while evenings were spent reading the Quran about Jihad, virginity, segregation and of course the great prophet of Islam or rather doom. My parents were often over shadowed by the guilt of sending their children to a modern western school so they tried to wipe it off with rigorous religious indoctrination at home. The stark contrast between the two led to a very confused personality development. Deep inside, many things did not make sense but an outer shell of religiosity prevented us from raising any queries. It could be said that we were just obedient mules.
Growing up in Arabia during the 80s and 90s meant we had first hand witness accounts of King Fahd's corrupt regime and the associated religious fanaticism. This man was literally the devil's viceroy on earth. Supporting and funding religious fanaticism world wide, especially in Pakistan and Afghanistan. 9/11 Served as a turning point and got me thinking real hard and serious. I was no longer the typically hypocrite teenager taking thing easy as usual and hoping Allah would forgive my sins if I prayed five times a day. There was clearly something wrong with Islam that demanded answers. I begin my quest by researching history. Internet is perhaps the greatest education tool ever invented in the history of mankind.
My core interest was Muhammed's life and Pre-Islamic Arab history. As my research progressed many mysteries and dark realities begin to unfold. Muhammed had a rough childhood and that must have left a negative impact on his overall emotional development. He also suffered from numerous symptoms of schizophrenia. His mission in Mecca was an abject failure and therefore he was expelled. Muhammad capitalized on the Mecca vs Medina rivalry in Arabia and successfully secured an asylum by manipulating their confidence. Medinites were soon to become disillusioned with Muhammed's constant rhetoric of war and discriminating policies which completely destroyed the peace and harmony of Medina. Tensions would boil over upon the death of Muhammed in the form of a secession struggle. As far as religion is concerned, Muhammed shamelessly plagiarized from Greeko-Roman, Arab-Roman, Semitic and Persian scriptures. Heavily borrowed rituals and practices from Persian Zoroastrianism e.g. five prayers a day and the ritual of Wuzu, and then blatantly called a holy-war for the destruction of their culture, heritage and history to cover his own theft.
Muhammed by lifestyle was a Bedouin warlord, calling random people to submit to his will or face total destruction, genocide and sexual enslavement of their women. He would murder his opponents, sleep with their widows on the same night and call it divine justice. Muhammed clearly fabricated Islam for a sole purpose - to create a ruling and a ruled class. The rulers would of-course be Arabs and the ruled would be infidel kaffirs humiliated daily with discrimination, jizya and harassment until one day they have had enough and convert to Islam. In short, reading Islam with a critical mind and broad view of history has exposed it as a botched up job of plagiarism from a criminal mind. Quitting Islam feels great, it is a soul liberating moment like a heavy weight has been lifted from one's shoulder. One does not have the burden of self induced guilt for going on a little coffee time with a female colleague or having a shot of fine European wine. More and more people in the world need to be made aware of this sick and retarded cult used to spread Arab-imperialism. Thomas Jefferson took a blade to the Bible to sanitize it of all nonsense, I wonder who will take a blade to the Quran!
