Why I left Islam
Muslims often ask me why I left Islam. What strikes me is that Muslims can’t
seem to understand that renouncing Islam is a choice offered to everyone and
that anyone has the right to do so. They believe anyone who leaves Islam is an
agent or a spy for a Western State, namely the Jewish State, and that they get
paid bundles of money by the governments of these countries and their secret
services. They actually don’t get that people are free to think and believe in
whatever suits them.
Before we begin, I would like to emphasize that by writing this article, I did
not mean to imply that Christianity or Judaism were better than Islam, and the
reader should not fool himself into thinking that I only reject Islam among
religions, all of which are to me a bunch of mind-blowing legends and a pile of
nonsense that compete with each other in terms of stupidity.
First of all, I had to remove the sacred envelope the Charia (Islamic
jurisdiction) was shrouded in, so as to question, challenge and study it with
the sharp eye of a truth seeker, not that of the bearded sheikhs who proceed to
a massive brainwashing of their audience, promoting Islam as a religion of
peace, brotherhood, mercy, justice and equality; a religion that saved women
from a sad fate and granted them a better status, in addition to applying
social justice.
Here is a list of the reasons that led me to apostasy:
Is Islam a religion of tolerance?
Islam is an authoritarian religion that does not respect the individuals’
freedom of choice, which is easily noticeable from its barbaric verdicts such
as stoning the adulterous, pushing the homosexuals off a cliff and killing the
apostates for daring to express a different viewpoint. Then there is the plight
of other religions’ followers in the Muslim State. Islam urges its followers to
fight the infidels until they convert or agree to pay a tax known as "Jizya"
per capita in total submission.The sacred texts in Islam also encourage blatant
war and conquest of new territories to spread the religion of Muhammad, instead
of using peaceful means to convey the message, relying only on a rational
argumentative scheme; something that Islam, like any other religion for that
matter, evidently lacks. It is simply a terrible insult to human values and a
proof of unprecedented dementia
Is Islam a religion of human brotherhood?
I was flabbergasted when I learnt the commandments of Islam regarding the
alliance and disavowal and the aberrant division of the world into believers
and unbelievers, with all the outrageous provisions this implies for the
"Dhimmis" and the” Jizya "!
Is Islam a religion of equality?
Islam presented the Quraysh tribe as “the chosen tribe” to rule over the human
race. Muhammad did not grant a single political responsibility to a person that
was not from his tribe. Islam has legitimized slavery, reinforced the gap
between social classes and allowed stealing from the infidels, taking women in
captivity (Sabaya) during wars and sexual abuse of women slaves (Ima’a). It has
severely damaged the marital relationship with the laws of dowry (Mahr) and
divorce, thus transforming the institution of marriage into a common
transaction.
Is Islam a religion of social justice?
Some of the most outrageous principles Islam has legislated are looting and
robbery as well as the exploitation of the people oppressed by the taxation
system of Al-Jizya. It acknowledged the social inequality by imposing the
Zakat, in accordance with the following saying: “a grateful rich man is better
than a patient poor man”.
Has Islam been fair to women?
A woman in Islam has less reason and faith. She interrupts the prayer, just
like donkeys and black dogs and is considered to be impure during menstruation.
She is only entitled to half the inheritance of a man and her testimony in the
court of justice also counts for half of that of a man. Islam put her under the
guardianship of her husband and predicated the approval of God on obeying her
husband. A man also has the right to correct his wife by beating her and / or
deserting the marital bed if she refuses to submit to his will. She has no
choice when it comes to satisfying his sexual desire whenever he feels like it,
with no regard whatsoever of her feelings and desires. I am not a feminist and
I am not one of those who defend women passionately against the countless forms
of injustice they have suffered for centuries because of religion, but I have a
mother, a sister and a lover and I cannot stand for them to be humiliated and
stigmatized in this
bone-chilling way, because they are my dearest and I love them too much to
treat them with this flawed and nauseating manner which debunks undoubtedly the
claim that Islam is a religion of equality and freedom!
Islam and the human creativity
All forms of artistic expressions are banned in Islam: music, singing, dancing,
painting, sculpture, acting, but also literature, poetry, philosophy and the
use of logic! If you find this too hard to believe, I invite you to refer to
the reliable Islamic sources as well as Muhammad’s quotes to make sure I do not
exaggerate and am only stating the strict truth.
Islam and Science
Islam is rich in allegories, starting with the myth of the Oracle (word of God
communicated to Muhammad via the angel Gabriel), all the way through the so
called Night Journey and Ascension ( Al-Isra’a & Al-Me’eraj) when Muhammad
supposedly ascended into heaven on the back of a fantastic animal called
"Burâaq" flying at the speed of light, to finish off with the dazzling tales of
miracles that no one has witnessed and no civilization has enrolled in its
historical archives nor mentioned facts that could back up these allegations.
Islam is therefore based on blind faith that grows and takes over people’s
minds where there is irrationality and ignorance. If this ideology had assets
of persuasion by appeal to reason and logic and has tackled every aspect of the
human life as we ex-Muslims have been told ever since we can remember, why
would it resort to incredible wacky stories to prove its accuracy and support
its ideas? Isn’t that worthy of liars and impostors? Do not forget the glaring
contradictions between the sacred texts and the basic scientific truths, such
as the fact that the earth is fixed and that the sky is raised above the ground
and held without pillars, and that meteoroids were made for the purpose of
stoning demons who spy on humans from up above.
The Scientific Miracles in the Quran
We ex-Muslims all know the absurdity, the forgery and the swindling of the
sheikhs who claim the existence of scientific miracles in the Quran, and I find
it legitimate to ask why these people fabricate one colossal lie after another
around religion. The answer is simple: only a web of lies is able to perpetuate
another lie. Islam could not hold for long in front of science that reveals its
myths and its undeniable weaknesses one after another, such as the assertion
that the earth is flat and that two people breastfed by the same woman become
biological brothers. These people protect Islam and prevent it from wearing off
and perishing by desperately trying to reconcile it with science using
deception and distortion. If Islam were a divine religion and a message sent
from the creator of the universe, would it be the laughingstock of the
scientific sphere and a target of endless criticism?
The Islamic God
He is a primitive, Bedouin and anthropomorphic God who draws his characters
from the human world and experiences feelings of anger, revenge, resentment,
superiority, etc. The image of God that has been depicted in the Islamic sacred
texts pretty much reflect the human civilizations, like the majestic throne
carried by the angels, on which he slumped when he finished the process of
creation, which brings to mind the ritual of the Honga-Bonga perform with their
head of their tribe. Worse still, some human actions, such as homosexual sex
(in which even the Honga-Bonga do not meddle), can make this magnificent throne
shake. Here is a transcendent hadith that caught my attention: "Any work done
by the son of Adam concerns only himself, except fasting which is mine and I
give its reward."
The question that torments me is this: What pleasure the Almighty God may find
in all these poor people worshipping him? What good would it do him?
The prophet of Islam and the Quran
Muhammad was no different than barbaric thugs who slaughtered, robbed and raped
women, there are many proofs in the Sunnah, I invite you to do your homework
before accusing me of lying for the sole purpose of damaging the image of the
prophet of Islam. He was a sex maniac, and went around all the laws he has
enacted to appease his voracious desire. He has torn humanity and imprisoned
the nation with backward and outdated Bedouin laws. He accomplished no miracle
that could prove his prophecy; all he had was a book showing strong
similarities with the poetry of his contemporaries, full of scientific errors
and philosophical dilemmas.
Conclusion: I probably need to write a whole book to talk thoroughly and
sufficiently about the reasons that led me to renounce Islam as a religion, but
these few items listed are the most important things that intrigued me and
pushed me to rethink the essence this hollow faith which, just like any other
religion, a mythical ideology put at the service of politics

Jesus, Buddha, Gurus Sikh, Baha’i, & Karl Marx can be compared because of they
teach love & justice.
It is different wih Muhammad.
I read Koran, Hadith, and Sira and found that Muhammad is a ROBBER, MURDERER,
TERRORIST, PEDOPHILE, NECROPHILE, CHILD MOLESTER, DAUGHTER-IN-LAW MOLESTER,
AUNT MOLESTER.
