“I’ve become a prisoner in my own body”: Message from an apostate from Islam living in Somalia

43

I received this extraordinary email from a courageous young woman who has left Islam but is trapped in Somalia. If she makes her thoughts known, she will be immediately killed. These are the shackles that Islam puts upon the free will and conscience of human beings. Read the message carefully. Note that it was her reading of the Quran and hadith that woke her up to the most misogynist, violent, antisemitic, hateful ideology on the face of the earth. So it wasn’t some “hijacked” Islam that put her off, it was the real thing. Leftist apologists for Islam in the U.S. will claim that she “misunderstood” the beautiful words of peace, but how long do they expect people to continue to swallow that nonsense? Every jihadi is devout. They invoke the Quran to justify their actions. The sooner the West wakes up to this, the fewer people will die.

Hi Pamela,

I’m not sure how to write this because if feels strange actually expressing how I feel about Islam but here goes. I’m writing this email all the way from Somalia. I come from a very devout Muslim family and I’ve been brought to Somalia recently (I grew up in the London) due to some family matter, but I’m starting to think otherwise. My mother has been acting irrational lately and has become overbearingly religious (I on the other hand, have never been religious that much). I’m not going to lie but I never truly understood what Islam was until I came to Somalia. The reason for that is simply because everyone here is fully brainwashed. My family tries their hardest to justify why women are inferior to men and how I’m supposed shut my mouth and not express my opinions. The second thing that I had to change was my clothing. I’m sure as everyone has heard, the terrorist group, Al-Shabab still carry out frequent attacks here and this has lead them to indoctrination people to adopt the Wahabi principle of Islam. Women have to wear a Jilbab (the long black dress) in 30 degree heat and the face veil. When I was living in the UK, not once did I cover up and now I have to carry this burden with me every time I step foot outside the door in fear that I will be label a whore and get shot. Not only have I become a prisoner in my country, I’ve become a prisoner in my own body ☹

Story continues below advertisement

About a month into our stay, I decided to read the Quran (in the English translation) and the hadith and I was beyond appalled and traumatized by the lack of morality and violence. How do idiot liberals defend Islam and call it a religion of peace when it seeks to destroy the very essence of harmony and peace? The more I read these books the more I became disillusioned by it all and it led me to not eat or speak to my family for a week and I got really sick. Truly, I was lost and hurt by how much I was led down a dark road.

Luckily, I went to my sister to talk about my lack of faith and she told me that she stopped praying a long time ago when she read the biography of Muhammad! The more I see how my family rationalise their poor actions (by using the actions of Mohamed as their justification) the more it terrifies me. I suspect that my uncle is a terrorist sympathiser because of his aggressive remarks towards me in regards to my criticism of Islam and the prophet! The penalty of becoming an apostate here is death so I can’t tell anyone about it. Not even my mother as she’s changed and become very religious. Most days I feel like she’s a clone and my real mother is trapped somewhere. Her mentality and attitude has changed so I can’t talk to her about this. I’m afraid that if I tell her about my view she may even kill me.

Anyway, I hope I didn’t bore you with this email and I do apologise if it is too long. I wanted to say that you are a beacon of truth and an inspiration to me. It’s been difficult for me not to express my views or even live a decent life anymore but I know that your work is helping others see the light and the truth about Islam and the destruction it wants to cause. People need to wake up and see how dangerous Islam is and i hope one day that this plague of a ‘religion’ will die out.

Brave girl. May she remain safe. There are many others who left Islam, secretly or otherwise, after reading the life of Mohammed for themselves. Access to the truth is so important.

My heart goes out to this young woman, and I hope she can find a way out of her truly awful situation. At the same time, I recognize a need for Islamic societies to have such people, in sufficient numbers, to effect change. I am mindful of those in the Christian world who were murdered as a consequence of their beliefs, or lack thereof.

The West, in part influenced by Christian values and the wider Judeo-Christian tradition. eventually abandoned the idea that murdering people for their beliefs was acceptable practice. Even with the good intentions of many Moslems, given the canon of Islam (the Koran and the hadiths) and the example set by its “Prophet”, the Islamic world will have a much more difficult time ridding itself of its practice of subjugating the kaffir and murdering those who disavow its tenants.

You have such an insipid but arrogant mind to think you have a clue what I care about. Often in error, but never in doubt could be your personal mantra.

That is because of the rigidity locked into the Koran and the hadith: a failsafe for the ?13th century to lock its slaves into the black hole that is islam. While this is so it can and will NEVER evolve into anything resembling a truly peaceful ideology masquerading as a religion..

Michelle, neither you, nor anyone else knows what the world of Islam will- or won’t- look like in another 100 years, and it is pure hubris for you to think that you do. As unlikely as an Islamic Reformation appears at this point, there are voices within Islam attempting to do that. Neither Islam nor any other human contrivance is immutable.

Islam has had its reformation and came up with Wahhabism.
There is no hope for what is a purely negative and (in practice) Evil doctrine.

Paul-

Overlooking “you need to get out more often”, I don’t take it as a personal affront. You almost seem to me to be in a minority on this board- someone who can disagree civilly. You don’t give sufficient information to allow me to understand Nonie Darwish’s position on the matter, and I question whether or not she would agree that “Islam must be utterly eradicated”.

I have read the Koran, thankyou. I also know something about how “religious” tracts can be made to read pretty much whatever people want them to. Jews no longer adhere to the admonitions of Leviticus- and haven’t for thousands of years. I think, given the right incentives, Moslems are capable of the same kind of transformation, or at least I won’t rule out that possibility.

I recall Reza Khalili, in his excellent memoir, A Time to Betray claimed that growing up in Iran under that shah, he interpreted the violent passages of the Koran in “a figurative manner”. I have no reason to doubt his integrity (even though some claim his entire book is a fraud).

Given the reality that the West simply has no stomach for mass slaughter- and that’s a good thing- I think the counter jihad movement is better off promoting policies that would cause Moslems to reconsider much of their historical tradition. For example, a thorough reconsideration of what constitutes the “reliable hadiths” could do wonders for a reinterpretation of the Koran (and yes, I know none of them are reliable) Moreover, I do not doubt the good intentions of Moslems who find value in their ancestral faith, but who do seek a reformation. I wish them well in what may appear to be a quixotic task.

Bwahahahahahaha, why don’t you try preaching your last two sentences to the families of those ten thousand dead Christians in Nigeria? Or how about to the millions of people being enslaved by f’ing muslums in Mauritania, the Sudan, Niger and the Islamic State? Your champagne morality is disgusting. You deserve the muslum boot heel on your neck.
Long live Burma.

It’s just another sneer word, incorrectly used, like ‘racist’, ‘xenophobe’ etc, used by people who have no actual argument and their fingers in their ears.

Thanks Pamela for sharing this. I had a student in New York City who was raised in a Muslim family (not Al-shabob) in West Africa. They were a muslim family of means and sent her to a Catholic boarding school in a neighboring country. While a student at the boarding school, through another student, she converted and became an evangelical Christian (not a Catholic). When she returned home, her parents were upset. Her father beat her. Her brother beat her (a few times). They told her that if she didn’t change back, they would kill her. She finally fled her family and home country, and went to France where she subsequently married and had a couple of kids. When I met her she was in her thirties and struggling to get through college. She had a couple of severe health problems, and a serious weight problem. But she was FREE!l
I have to thank God she made it out, and hope and pray that the young lady who contacted you will be able to escape.

You have to wonder why they sent their daughter to a Catholic school in the first place. Obviously they wanted her to get a good education, they just didn’t recognize that also meant learning to think for herself.

Happens in Australia too. Only too often the parents insist that the Christian school they have CHOSEN to send their Muslim daughter to permits or is forced to accommodate Muslim traditions such as Ramadan. And of course, in most cases the schools kowtow.

And thank you for sharing. I think few of us fully appreciate the personal price people frequently pay for leaving the chokehold of Islam. Just as one example- and there are many far worse, I understand that Nonie Darwish’s mother refuses to have anything to do with her.

Well your entire attitude hardly encourages people to leave what they have known their entire lives and may even have become accustomed to. Such people need to be encouraged to question authority, but not be personally attacked. A Moslem searching for an alternative to Islam would likely be greeted with “idiot”, “feces” and the like from people of your ilk.

Apostasy brings death in Islam. This is why Leftists envy Islam. For all their power, they can only destroy our lives, take our jobs and homes, humiliate us, insult us, and tell lies about us. They cannot kill us. (Baby murder excepted which requires some cooperation.)

Ultimately, death camps and labor camps are the Left’s wet dream.
