I am a Pakistani ex-Muslim atheist who currently lives in London. I want to share some of my experiences I have had in the UK.
1- I used to live in a student accommodation and the person at the reception didn’t know that I had left Islam. He assumed that I was a Muslim and we started talking about Islam and Sharia Law. He defended Sharia Law and cutting the hands of thieves, saying that these were laws given by God.
2- I have a friend in London who is quite liberal. She got her education from a good university and doesn’t even wear the Hijab. I was debating with her on apostasy laws and pressed her on this issue. The conversation ended with her supporting the death penalty for apostasy even though she knew herself that I was an apostate.
3- I am currently doing a tech job, and my boss was talking about religion. I asked him if he believes in secularism, and he said that he doesn’t and wants Islam to be made the state religion.
In summary, the UK is absolutely ruined. The UK has imported dangerously confused religious imbeciles by the millions and most Brits are still too stupid to see it. London currently is 15% Muslim and I can’t imagine how awful things will get as it becomes more and more like Bradford and Birmingham. I see absolutely no future to raise my children in this country, and I really want to move to Czechia. Its percentage of Muslims is 0.1% and it is extremely secular. I was born in Pakistan, and I escaped that Islamic sewer, but the UK is becoming just like that.

Hi guys, I'll try to keep this as short as possible although there's a lot I could say...

I'm 24 Femal from Morocco, I have a bachelor's degree in finance, and for the past month, I've been trying to survive on my own after running away from my fathers home.

I lost my mother a while ago, and ever since then life hasn't really been the same I grew up in a very strict religious family especially when it comes to my father..

He has always been controlling, but things got much worse when he started insisting that I marry a man he knows who's almost 20 years older than me.

I barely knew this man, and the idea of spending the rest of my life with someone I didn't love, someone old enough to be my father terrified me.. But my father didn't care about what I wanted, To him it was already decided and my opinion didn't really matter... And as an agnostic girl who was trying to hide her ideas and thoughts and acting the whole time around him.

I refused multiple times, hoping he would eventually understand but instead, things became unbearable at home. The arguments turned into threats, and I started feeling like a prisoner

Eventually, I realized that staying meant accepting a marriage I never wanted, so I made the hardest decision of my life and left and he said if I stepped outside the door he won't accept me as a daughter for the rest of life..

It's been around a month now, and as I just graduated I couldn't find a decent job and couldn't even rest mentally to start thinking straight tbh

At first, I stayed with a friend for a few days, but I couldn't keep depending on her, so I moved to another city, hoping to start over somewhere nobody knew me.

And God, I had no idea how cruel the world could be to a young woman who's completely alone.

It feels like almost everyone I meet wants something from me... Some men pretend to care about my situation offer help and then eventually reveal what they're actually expecting in return

Others see my vulnerability as an opportunity to take advantage of me

I managed to find a job in a hotel but even there I couldn't feel safe.. A coworker started harassing me and I eventually resigned because I was terrified of things getting worse.

Now I'm struggling financially, emotionally, and mentally. Some days, I barely have enough energy to get out of bed, let alone figure out how I'm supposed to rebuild my entire life.

The worst part is that I've already attempted suicide twice since leaving home. I'm not proud of admitting that, but I don't want to pretend that I'm doing okay when I'm clearly not. There were moments when the loneliness, fear, and hopelessness became so overwhelming that I genuinely couldn't imagine another way out.

I keep thinking about my mother and how different everything might have been if she were still alive. Maybe she would've protected me, maybe she would've listened, or maybe I would've at least had someone to cry to when everything started falling apart.

Sometimes I even catch myself wondering whether marrying that man would've been easier than living like this. Maybe I could've endured it for a while and eventually gotten divorced I know how terrible that sounds, but when you're constantly fighting just to survive you start questioning every decision you've made.

I spent years studying, dreaming about becoming independent, building a career, and having a normal life. And now, at 24, I feel like I've lost everything before my life has even properly started.

I don't have a family to turn to, I don't have financial stability, and I'm slowly losing the little confidence I had left.

I'm not writing this to ask for just money or sympathy I just needed somewhere to let everything out because keeping it all inside is destroying me... I will be homeless at the end of this month and that make me wanna just get relieved from all this pain and put a conclusion of this suffering.

I just wanted to rest and think and look for jobs while Im in stable situation, I live now with the worst roomate u could have and even tho I'll miss having a bed and bare minimum life cuz I lost hope that I will build my life again

Grown men laughing at a woman’s misery. Not surprising. Kudos to this kid!

Haram Doodles 😘

God knows what they do behind the public eye / cameras… (over the last few years since Mahsa Amini’s death the IR regime due to political and economic pressure has eased on the mandatory hijab rule but unfortunately there are still a few cases here and there about oppression/arrests of women!)

Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court has set aside the death sentence handed to a Sri Lankan migrant worker over a comment he made on Facebook, Colombo's Deputy Foreign Minister Arun Hemachandra said.

A win for humanity that a man is not to be executed for a simple comment about a pedophile prophet. We still have a long way to go, but this is a good step forward

I'm based in the UK but still ✌

Also, don't mind the flair, I didn't know what to use.

Sorry for the bad hand writing but yes I am ex Muslim from Pakistan…
Can I have some more ex Muslims friends please?? 😭😭😭

If yes say hey in comments..

Myself

I was in Pakistan and left Islam in 2019… moved to the UK and living my new life here… still many struggles and issues but better than Pakistan lol…

The original was post was about a Bangladeshi couple who will get executed for having s*x inside a mosque in Saudi Arabia.

I’m far from a Christian apologist, but I don’t think any Christian majority state would make a deal out of this, let alone sentence people to death over it.

The public would just have a good laugh about it and call it a day. At the very worst, those people would get banned from entering the church.

It looks like some Muslims lie about stuff only to make ridiculous Shariah laws look honourable.

My colleague recently was trash talking about the Westerns, saying how they lead sinful lives. Drinking. Living together out of wedlock. Women wearing revealing clothes.

I told her what if they live like that? They are still living a good life. Good society, better education, social security, low crime rate and so on...

She stopped talking for a while. I thought that was the end of discussion. Then, after half an hour, she came to me and said, "They might live a better life on earth, but what about the afterlife? They will be punished later. And we will be rewarded."

I was bamboozled by her logic. I had nothing else to say. How can you argue with someone who thinks they are better than others just because they follow a weird cultish religion?

The sad thing is, she leads a secular life herself. She wears jeans, works with men, doesn’t cover her hair and very educated.

She wouldn’t live so independently if she were in her own country. Yet she fails to see the problem with her religion and its followers.

These people are delulu....

Attempting to debunk Islam through moral arguments is often a dead end, especially with Muslims who have strong convictions in their faith.

Whether it's slavery, concubinage, child marriage, or Muhammad's personal conduct, almost everything can be justified through divine authority, historical norms, or claims of wisdom beyond human understanding. If someone already believes Allah is the ultimate source of morality and Muhammad is the perfect example for humanity, then any moral objection can simply be dismissed.

Challenging the actual foundations of Islamic belief is far more productive.

Most Muslims don't believe Islam is true because Muhammad married Aisha at six or had multiple wives. They believe because they consider the Quran divine, preserved, and miraculous.

So challenge them on what they consider the strongest evidence for their faith. The preservation of the Quran, even if established, does not prove divine authorship. Claims of scientific miracles often rely on retrofitting modern discoveries into ambiguous verses, knowledge already available at the time, or interpretations that are simply scientifically incorrect. None of these necessarily establishes divine knowledge.

There are also historical and theological questions worth examining. Where is the original, uncorrupted Injil as described in Islamic theology? What exactly is the historical basis for the Quran's claim concerning Uzair? How should we reconcile the inheritance calculations that sometimes require awl to distribute shares?

These aren't moral objections. They raise questions about Islam's historical and theological claims, rather than whether its teachings align with an external moral standard.

Rather than endlessly debating morality, question what actually makes Islam so unshakable to them. What evidence establishes its divine origin beyond the beliefs they inherited through religious upbringing?

I’m traumatize i dont want anything that reminds me of this religion or language. Does such a place exist?

Hello. Just for abit of context, I'm 27F and Pakistani from the UK. I've always had doubts regarding religion, but it's not something I've really had to face until I got married to my husband who was raised and is more practicing than I was. I've been married 4 years and we have been together 7. Within the 4 years I realised religion played much more of a role in his everyday life, which of-course it would because he's a practicing Muslim. Topics surrounding how we would make a will, how to pray, how to dress, fasting and Ramadan together came up. And throughout those conversations I'd find myself not believing in any of it, so there's been many instances I would say I don't think I believe in this and I was met with that this would end our marriage if what I'm trying to say is that I'm not Muslim, so I'd immediately take it back. I've been on a journey of trying to figure all the 'problems' I had or 'questions' I had out, Aisha's age, sex slavery, hijab, verses surrounding hitting women, just all of it, learning about Islam from the beginning to end. And at the end of it I was trying to convince myself with apologist arguments, so I felt better. But at the end I just didn't believe in it all anymore. Felt man made and made up. I finally came out to him and told him I'm no longer Muslim, don't believe in it and that's the truth. It was hard, I thought our marriage was over. After many conversation, he has said he doesn't care and wants to stay married to me, despite that our marriage maybe being nullified, or him committing a sin in Islam. Now the topic of children has come up. Thing is, I could never come out to my family. I'd always have to live as a closeted ex muslim. So I'm really struggling with that, but then wanting to be authentic will my own kids. He wants to raise the kids as Muslim, I don't. I'd want it be a choice. He wants to send them to mosque at an early age. I said no, maybe 10-11 years old. He isn't comfortable about giving them a choice to be Muslim or not. He wants to raise them Muslim. There's also the issue of, what if our kids told our families 'mum isn't Muslim'. So I'd be asking my kids to keep a secret? I don't know, the unknown the future is scary for me and for him. We're abit lost. I see myself as somewhat a strict mum, no dating until you're older, no drinking/partying til you're older. Focus on your education and hobbies and friends, so even without religion, it's some what similar on how we'd want to raise them. I don't know, now I feel like I've forgotten all the scenarios that may come up about having children together and the only thing that we seem to be fixated on is whether they'll be going to mosque or not. We can sit and talk about rules all I day, but I guess, the bigger questions is how he'd react to them choosing not to be Muslim, and how I'd react to them choosing to be Muslim. I think it makes us both feel insecure because you inevitably want your kids to think how you think, which isn't always the way it turns out (I'm a prime example). Has anyone had to deal with this? Very practicing muslim partner with an agnostic combo? How are you dealing with it? We love each other a lot, our relationship is good, we're best friends. It just shit to throw this away on something like this. Any advice would be great.

I just got yelled at for listening to g-idle's song 'Mono'. There's a lyric that says "whether straight or gay" (the song is basically jst saying it doesn't matter ur sexuality, gender, where you are from or anything, you are still worthy of love)

I love g-idle and this song jst gives me sm confort. I got caught listening to it and lectured on how it's haram blah blah blah.

I'm a closeted bi so that pissed me off so bad. one of the things on my bucket list is to attend a pride festival once im out of here ✌

(go support g-idle, they're songs r so inclusive, welcoming and positive!)

As I said ... In the article it says there are a number of people facing the same thing there.

Everywhere the Sharia law is present, people are getting killed for "blasphemy" (not just that but also more crimes defined by Sharia laws)

Yes this happened a lot since this virus "islam" attacked humanity but this is more prevalent, or maybe talked about more now more than before. Either way, wtf.

On that note, f-ck your mimo and your allah. I hope good people that believe in this fucktard just wake the hell up.

Also if there is someone that can confirm that, tell us if there are any updates...

I hate greeting people like relatives, seniors, teachers, and everyone with salam!

I HATE wearing burqa and hijab! I hate how burqa and hijab make women look demure and submissive! 🤬🤬

I want to wear button-down shirts and pants and try so many different outfits but I can't!

I hate the fact that I have to LARP as a muslim and say arabic greetings, du'as, and InshaAllah, MashaAllah, Alhamdulillah occasionally to appear as a practicing muslim! 😡

Cause we all know how dangerous openly renouncing Islam in muslim countries can be!

I left Islam not because I completely reject the possibility of God, but because I started questioning whether religion itself is something humans created to explain the universe and cope with the things they don't understand.

I read the entire Quran in translation and found several verses that seemed inconsistent with modern scientific knowledge, including descriptions of embryological development, human reproduction, the Sun setting in a muddy spring, and mountains preventing the Earth from shaking.Listen Those are few thing in the quran there are lot more than those and if you are open minded gp search and find it yourself.i hadnt provided the verses as ypu could simply go to google search for the verses you will find multiple than do your research yourself.

What bothered me most was that whenever I questioned these verses, the explanations often changed, with new interpretations being offered to make them fit what we already know from science. If the Quran is truly the word of an all-knowing God, why isn't its meaning clearer in the first place?

I also don't think that a few verses that seem to match scientific discoveries prove divine authorship. Even Einstein made predictions about things that scientists understood better later, but that doesn't make his words the word of God. My point is that we should judge the Quran by the same standards we use to judge everything else, rather than treating its successes as miracles and explaining away its problems.

I believe it's possible that some higher intelligence created the universe, but I don't necessarily believe in a God who watches every action we take, answers prayers, or decides who goes to heaven or hell.

I simply haven't found convincing evidence that Islam is the truth, and I'd rather admit what I don't know than believe something just because I was taught to believe it.

I miss my dad.
My dad used to be such an amazing person. He was hardworking, nonviolent, well-integrated, and genuinely a good family man. He took care of himself, helped around the house, and focused on providing for his family. He always made sure he looked presentable and seemed like someone who had his life together. He was the kind of dad I could actually look up to.
Then, one day, I came back from a school trip and noticed he had grown a full beard. This was strange because he had always been strictly clean-shaven. At first, I brushed it off as him simply changing his style. I had no idea how much things were about to change.
It started with him suddenly demanding that my sister wear a hijab. Obviously, she refused, and she still doesn’t wear one. But things only got worse from there.
He became increasingly aggressive and violent, to the point where he almost got sued. He lost his job. He stopped helping around the house because apparently, everything is now “a woman’s job,” despite the fact that he’s home 24/7 doing nothing but blasting the Quran. He sends money to other Muslims because “that’s what Muslims do,” yet throws a tantrum when he has to buy his own daughter a winter jacket. He tries to force me to pray and participate in Ramadan, even though I don’t want to.
It’s like I’m watching a completely different person occupy the place of the father I grew up with.
What hurts the most is that I remember who he used to be. I remember having a dad who was responsible, caring, hardworking, and actually present for his family. Now it feels like his priorities have completely changed, and his family comes second to whatever religious expectations he’s decided to devote himself to.
I hate that something I see as a religion has seemingly taken so much of the person he used to be away from him. I hate feeling embarrassed and ashamed to be around my own father. And I hate that I can’t just have the dad I used to have back.
I know some people here have experienced much worse than I have, and part of me feels guilty even complaining because things could be so much worse. But that doesn’t change how much this hurts.
I miss my dad, and the worst part is that he’s still here. I can see him every day, but I feel like I’m grieving someone who hasn’t actually died.
I don’t know if anyone else has experienced something similar, watching a parent change so drastically after becoming more religious, but I just needed to get this off my chest.
