Testimony of Leaving Islam
I am so glad I found this website and I know I am not alone.
I have been questioning myself about my religion for a very long time. As a Muslim, I have been taught to hate Jews and non-Muslims since I was 7 years old. I never took what I was taught seriously, because I am not a racist or a bigoted person. As far as I am concerned, most Muslims are intolerant and bigoted. Sometimes, I ask myself how I found myself living in a Muslim country which teaches me to hate. I have traveled to Germany to actually learn more about the Holocaust in World War Two. Some years ago, I took the opportunity to go there to learn about everything that happened to the Jews during the war. I visited one of the Nazi concentration camps in eastern Germany, between Jena and Weimar. I cried and I was speechless for what happened to the Jews and the other victims of the Nazi regime. Since then, I have been always interested to learn more about the Holocaust and the Nazi regime.
As Malaysians, we never ever discussed the Holocaust in school, or the so-called "pro-Jewish" movies and articles which accurately detail this horrific crime of history. Only recently has our government loosened the censorship on such materials a little bit so that we can now actually watch some of these "pro-Jewish" movies on local TV. Muslims are chanting 'death to Israel' and 'kill the Jews', everywhere in the Muslim World. Muslims blame everything bad on others, never on Islam or Muslims. We have learned nothing. As far as I am concerned, Islam is the new Nazism. It is something I want no part of.
I wish I could migrate someday to the US and become free. Free to speak and free to be whatever one wants to be. I have dreamed about leaving Malaysia for good and migrating to the USA. I have tried, but I have not made it yet. There is always a wall in front of me but I will never give up. Last time I tried to get a Tourist Visa to the USA, it was denied several times. I was very disappointed. Living in the Muslim world is quite difficult because you feel that people are always watching you for anything that you might do that is wrong or against Islam. Life is miserable and confused in the Muslim world. I don't understand.
Why do Muslims want to kill themselves and kill the infidels and blame everything on the Jews? I always pray to God for peace of the world.
