I know it's a dangerous business, as even in Britain, so-called apostates, or even believers who marry the "wrong sort of Muslim" can have their throats cut on a crowded seaside promenade, or be chopped into pieces, stuffed in a suitcase and thrown in the canal. And where does Amil's commonsense viewpoint leave that socialist plonker who runs the "Islamophobia-watch.com" website? Is Amil an "anti-Muslim racist" as well - or is he just a rational human being?Diesel Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597502229258696956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9184499599312552350.post-74254278392008939642011-11-15T15:21:42.746+00:002011-11-15T15:21:42.746+00:00Andy,
You make some really great points, and I re...Andy,<br /><br />You make some really great points, and I really can identify with Amil. <br /><br />I too was brought up in a Christian home, and it was the "right" thing to do in going to church, to sing the songs, and to play the facade of religion. <br /><br />However, as I became an adult, I rejected my Christian upbringing, and I became someone who enjoyed a myriad of different experiences. But the story doesn't end there...<br /><br />After having filled 20 years of my life with money, various sexual actions, and alcohol, - didn't hit the drugs as I as scared of them - I was still empty. I was not satisfied. The more money I had...it wasn't enough. The more sex I had with various partners...it wasn't enough. The more I drank...it wasn't enough. <br /><br />Only after seeing the radical transformation in another life of someone who shared with similar hurts and problems did I realize that I could have peace and joy that surpasses all understanding. And I didn't have to go far. <br /><br />There was nothing wrong with the upbringing that I had. I simply did not want to surrender control of my life and my selfish desires to someone else. However, the moment that I did that, my life radically changed. It's not that I'm perfect now, but I'm getting better every day. <br /><br />I no longer find joy in the behaviors and the things that I used to indulge. I now find joy in someone who loves me like no one else could. <br /><br />Thanks again for your post! <br /> <br />KentexmanKentexmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12604770421918477184noreply@blogger.com
