If Such A Young Nation

My Brother Thinks It Is Very, Very Bad That I Left Islam. My Half-sister Wants To Convert Me Back; I Want To Convert Her To Western Values. My Mum Is Terrified That When I Die, And We All Go To God, I Will Be Burned.

People Ask Me If I Have Some Kind Of Death Wish, To Keep Saying The Things I Do. The Answer Is No: I Would Like To Keep Living. However, Some Things Must Be Said, And There Are Times When Silence Becomes An Accomplice To Injustice.

I Do Not Believe In God, Angels And The Hereafter.

Muslim Leaders Should Ask Themselves What Exactly Their Relationship Is To A Political Movement That Encourages Young Men To Kill And Maim On Religious Grounds.

The West Is Duly Terrified. But It Should Not Be Surprised.
