CHAPTER SEVEN

I AM AN EX-MUSLIM AND

PROUD OF IT!

"I remember being taught to hate (not directly so, of course) by instilling fear against "those evil Jews," and my teachers attempting to lure me into jihad by promising the seventy-two Huur Al-Ay (virgins in paradise). Of course, I was never drawn into that: I'm gay."

OR MANY FORMER MUSLIMS, the level of hate and rhetoric towards so-called "infidels" or kafirs is simply too great. Indeed, for many young Muslims who have been exposed to Western freedoms, such suppression becomes unbearable. Tragically, this sort of tyranny is no longer confined to Islamic lands, but can be found in major Western cities. Take, for example, the case of Nissar Hussein, a former Muslim in Bradford, England, who, according to the London Times, has been a victim of a three-year campaign of hate for leaving Islam. His family has been "jostled, abused, and attacked."1 The family has also been asked to move out of their neighborhood. All of this, not because of what Hussein believes, but because he no longer believes in Islam. It is sadly true that such stories are becoming more frequent throughout Britain and in other parts of the world.

In the testimony you will read here, another apostate tells of his disdain for his former culture and his desire to expose its dark side-but with a sense of fear of the consequences of doing so. Indeed, it is easy to understand where that fear comes from, and why. No one-even in the West-is safe from the violence of Islam.
