Ex-Muslim: “This ideology is the enemy of human progress, and if we do not fight back it will transform societies into something between Saudi Arabia and Iran”
Recently an ex-Muslim who is still living in Lebanon wrote me about why he left Islam. I have withheld his name for obvious reasons.

I guess it was a bit natural for me given that my father lived more than 20 years in Germany where he got his Phd, my mother has always been very liberal and anti-extermism, I went to an international school and American University, and I read a lot.

1982 I saw the difference between western armies and our local muslim militias. Then the parents of two of my school buddies died in the marines barracks explosion. Muslims heralded it a victory. One friend works for US embassy now.

I despised the cultural norm that it is a “good” thing to go live on welfare in a western state. They even validate theft, and they actually consider stealing from a Jew, for example, or any enemy as a good thing. They really twist the common ethical values that are innate to humans.

I hate the ideology that is full of constraints. I hate how they consider dogs as “dirty” creatures.

I saw the rise of political Islam in my country and how it attracted the worst kind of violent lazy, unethical sort. They have nothing to offer except hate.
