I was a Muslim. And like all things I do, I was a thorough one. I studied the Quran, the different hadiths, Bulugh al maram, riyadus Salihin...etc. There are basically three groupings in Islam, Sunni, Suffi, Shia.
I was born and raised as a Muslim. My father was the imam of our village mosque. I had no intention of leaving Islam if I believed it was the truth. However, I left it because it no longer made sense to me, and I could not reconcile its issues.
1. Problems with its founder, Muhammad
Muhammad’s actions and teachings raise significant concerns:
•He was a violent leader, involved in 27 wars and 56 raids, most of which he initiated rather than defended.
•He subjugated neighboring tribes, enslaved their men, women, and children, and engaged in sexual relations with one of the captives just days after killing her family, including her husband.
•He married his adopted son’s wife and wed a child, Aisha, when she was only 9 years old, while he was 53.
•He exhibited questionable behavior, like having sexual relations with all his 11 wives in one night without even washing in between, and sometimes forgetting next day whether he had done sex or not.
•He demanded 20% of war booty, suggesting a pursuit of power, wealth, and sexual gratification under the guise of prophethood.
•He was misogynistic, teaching that women:
•Have half the intelligence of men.
•Are the majority of Hell’s inhabitants.
•Appear in the image of Satan.
•Are inherently crooked due to being created from a crooked rib.
•Are cheaters and unfit to rule.
2. Issues with the Quran
The Quran contains teachings and errors that are deeply troubling:
•It promotes hatred towards non-Muslims through the concept of Al-Walaa wal-Baraa (loyalty to Muslims and disavowal of non-Muslims).
•It commands Muslims to wage war against non-believers until they submit to Islam, and imposes the Jizya tax on Christians and Jews who refuse to convert.
•It allows men to beat disobedient wives, and assigns women half the inheritance and testimony value of men.
•It is riddled with historical inaccuracies, such as:
•Confusing Mary, the mother of Jesus, with Miriam, the sister of Aaron.
•Referring to Samaria as existing during the time of Moses.
•Claiming that Haman was a minister of Pharaoh.
•Depicting Alexander the Great (Dhu al-Qarnayn) as a prophet sent by God and a virtuous man.
3. Islam’s incompatibility with modern laws
Islamic Hudud punishments are incompatible with human rights and modern legal systems. These include:
•Amputations for theft.
•Stoning and lashing for adultery.
•Crucifixion.
•Execution of apostates.
These are barbaric 7th-century laws that have no place in today’s world. For these reasons and more, I could no longer follow Islam.
Is it okay for a Christian to masturbate to relieve the pressure of avoiding fornication? Listen to this and share your thoughts.

When we talk about good governance, it’s not just online noise. It’s about real life consequences on human life.
