Testimony of Leaving Islam
I was born in the Emirates, and lived there till I was 18. I then lived in Syria for 5 years while doing my Bachelor in Physics. Thinking about the correctness of my religion was not a major part of my life, where it was like a "given" that Islam is right and everything else is wrong. Till I left for Germany to do my masters and PhD, where I saw different cultures and different out-of-the-box opinions and thinking. After that I simply put all of Islam's arguments to the test. Islam did not pass any of the logical arguments or scientific arguments it's supposed to pass, being the "right" religion.
Putting Islam to the test involved testing the scientific miracles claimed to be within the Qur'an. Of course, doing this would involve learning what science really means. The problem with Muslims is that they just believe anything labeled "science" and anyone calling himself a "scientist", commiting extreme logical fallacies like "Appeal to authority". One has to learn that peer-reviwed scientific papers and articles are the only legitimate source of scientific information. I passed to the point where I saw that all the scientific claims in Islam/Quran are not only wrong, but contain different kinds of lies, deceit and scams of all sorts.
Now, after becoming a scientist in physics, the most critical and obvious issue I find in Quran that reveals that it's not a book from an omnipotent and omniscient god, and does not any room for debate, is the issue of how to distribute money of a dead person to his family and relatives (Qur'an 4:11-12). The problem is that in too many cases, the fractions do not add up to one, which is extremely stupid. I can't believe that the creator of this great universe cannot do some simple maths.
I really advise all Muslims to check the validity of each statement the Islamists have to make, because they lie about everything. To be honest, I've never seen any group of people lie like the Muslims do. In my experience, they're either brain-washed or liars.
