Testimony of Leaving Islam
I have to admit to my disgusting past. The brutality of my former religion. I was born in Somalia. My mother was raised in a strict Muslim family. When she was pregnant with me she was not married. To this day I have no idea who my father is - all I know is he was an Arab. My mother was raped when she was 15 years old, and that is how she got pregnant. She ran away from her family knowing she was going to get killed. She ran to her sisters house and begged to be allowed to live there. That went well for six months. Right after she gave birth to me she was sent back home. My grandfather would not hear the reason's on how and why she got pregnant with a child out of wedlock. She tearfully pleaded but he killed her anyway by stabbing her to death.
My aunt ran away, or should I say "kidnapped" me and brought me to Ethiopia. I was put in an orphanage and was taken to the USA by the Catholic Missionaries in the early 1990's. I was not aware of brutality of Islam until I went to do research on its history because I wanted more information about my past religion. I learned all facts from people and reading the koran several times. I was not only horrified but devastated. I have no contact with my family because I have no idea where they are in Somalia. I don't want to know. I researched other religions but they are all corrupt just like Islam. I am now a spiritual person with no religion. Just my own sense of self.
