I think that's what I was pointing out. I should have probably put practicing muslim. It's hard to strike a balance for most people because of religious incompatibility. It simply doesn't work unless they ignore their religious values/customs and I don't think that's being authentic. But each to their own.
Any somali atheists here going for an inerracial marriage.

Then people turn around and ask why so many are angry? You'd be angry too if you were treated like shit just for stated what you believe. Many Muslim communities are totally blind to (or actively encourage) the mistreatment of (including forms of dehumanization 'you're not somali' etc) minority communities amongst them, it's shameful.

I don't how they manage to cut people out of their lives so easily. It makes you become disillusioned with human relationships. Is anything ever real if relationships and friendships you've garnered since you were a kid are suddenly non-existent due to your beliefs? I question everything and wonder at motives a lot more. As if I didn't have enough skeptic tendency in me to begin with. I can't imagine what it feels like to have one's own parents disown them.
I know, it's insane. I hope if I ever become a parent I won't f*ck up so spectacularly. Sometimes there are happy-ish endings though, after a few years the parents change their minds, lol. Not that the children of those parents are always happy to hear it though. It's sad man. I've seen it happen a few times.
Imo, this is modus operandi of Muslim parents of all backgrounds, regardless of when they came to the country, or indeed, even if they did. Generally speaking, leaving Islam = getting disowned from family, and ostracized by the community. Sometimes it doesn't happen that way, obviously, but from what I can see, that's generally the case. There's a lot of former muslims who don't come out publically because of it. A lot. I don't know why so many muslims see them as a threat. Islam has spread across the world and has a billion+ followers, a few religious dissenters isn't worth getting into a panic over. I can't help but think it comes down to some insecurity.

How many do you know? And that doesn't really mean much anyway. Lots of people have depression (that could be a direct result of the trauma of losing your faith), and absolutely everyone has 'personal issues'. Neither should count as a stigma against someone whether muslim or not.
This explains why I only seem to meet Somali atheists online and they are over-represented on tbis site in particular.
Btw we did a thread on whether Muslims on here would disown their offspring if they left the Deen and majority said they wouldn't.

They are overrepresented online because of the hostility they face in their communities, which unfortunately is a shameful indictment of many Muslim communities.
I hope one day we can be like European Christians and European Atheists, they live amongst each other openly & peacefully despite disagreement on religion.
Didnt you say you are married to Danish woman? And now this? You sound like a troll now.
lolwut? Ive been with women as a fling, both Danish and Somali. Sometimes on and off with the same woman.
This is a serious relationship courting.
I can't be bothered to dig up your posts. You posted specifically "you are married to a Danish/ leftist woman" but anyway carry on.
What Muslim woman would want to be with an atheist? Unless hes pretending to be Muslim. Not saying that you are but I imagine most would.
reer littlemermaid is just free like that, daisy
Are you one of them too?
