“I had no Idea how bad Islam was until I dated a Muslim…”

1606

I receive a lot of mail. The most heartbreaking letters, of course, are from Muslims in Muslim countries who have left Islam or question Islam, and their intellectual freedom is met with violence from family members and friends. They write to cry for help. I get a few of those emails a week, and I help each one to the best I can. Notice how they aren’t writing CAIR for help.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Ali Sina for helping me handle the most difficult and gruesome of those letters. In a number of instances, Ali has gotten a number of  these victims who have written to me out of their countries and to safe harbor.

This email is of a different nature. The journey of this young woman, whose name I have changed  for obvious reasons, is all too common, but little told. It is difficult to break free from the institutionalized thinking, reinforced in every corner of the our culture, concerning Islam. Those who challenge the propagandist narrative are smeared and libeled. Few take the risk.

I salute this “escapee.” Her note to me is a declaration of freedom and an invitation to others to question their premise and not be afraid to think.

Hello Pamela Geller,

I recently came across your website thanks to Ali Sina who has mentioned you a couple of times on his blog. My story is on his blog under “I was in a relationship with a Muslim”. I have been watching a lot of your interviews and your debates with Muslims and I have learned so much from you and Ali Sina. When I hear you speak about the dangers of Islam, I sometimes fear for your life because I know how aggressive Muslims can be. I dated one for 3 years. I have learned a lot more about Islam by watching your videos and reading Ali Sina’s blog(within 2 months) than my 3 years relationship with my ex Muslim boyfriend. I was taught never to judge others’ religion and culture. I took Cultural Anthropology, World Religion, Philosophy, Social Environment classes and I have the Quran at home. In school, professors makes Islam and all other religions seem very peaceful and I guess it has a lot to do with freedom of religion and ethics. During those 3 years I use to believe that Islam was indeed peaceful, my Ex convinced me that it was very peaceful… but I never believed it was perfect. No religion is perfect in my mind.
I am a Psychology major, while taking psychology courses I realized that Islam created people who are ignorant, dependent and selfish. I started to slowly realize that I was dating a massive manipulator. His logic made no sense to me. I couldn’t question Muhammad or Allah, and when I did, he would go ballistic.
At times he was very sweet and kind but I felt like Islam limited his mind. He was afraid to make his own choices. Everything was a sin. I use to believe women who covered themselves were very committed and loving to their religion and happy. Many of the things you have said really has helped me move on. You have convinced me to the point in which I truly believe Islam IS a cult. I use to be naive and defend Islam because of all the “Stereotype”.
I was a willing victim to my ex boyfriend and to Islam. I was willing to move with him to Saudi Arabia, Thanks god I didn’t. The amount of prejudice and racism in that culture is incredible. I know for a fact that my ex hates Jews with passion and had no idea what the holocaust was. Even after showing him pictures of dead Jews and dead children during the holocaust, he would twist the topic and talk about the Palestinians who were suffering due to the Jews.
Islam brainwashes people. Everything in Islam goes against Psychology. It is highly impossible to have a stable mindset while raised in that culture. You don’t have a voice in that culture and religion. It took me a long time to start healing because I had a very strong love for my ex, even now after a year, I sometimes cry at night.
I see you as a mother and a hero. Your bravery is astonishing because I know you must get millions of death threats and criticism. I honestly don’t know how you handle it but it takes a strong person to do what you do.
Hearing you speak and fight against Islam is very important, not only for me, but to the world. I had no Idea how bad Islam was until I dated a Muslim man. My ex had some good qualities and it made me damn sad that he had such strong hold on Islam. I hate Islam because there are potential good people in Islam but the more they are controlled by their faith, the more inhuman they become. It is an honor to write to such a strong woman such as yourself. I wish I could help fight against Islam. The stories I hear from Muslim women breaks my heart and it angers me that it is the norm in the middle east. I wish I would live long enough to see the day Islam is banned from the globe. It might be wishful thinking but Islam is too dangerous. These stories I have read and watched on you tube about women being murdered due to Islam makes me appreciate my life even more. I was stupidly willing to give up my freedom to move to Saudi Arabia. So many women over there would wish to take my place, I took my freedom for granted.
God Bless you  🙂
XXXXXXXXX

I was a widow in my 30s and had a muslim man who wanted to date me. We met by chance when he worked on a job where I was at. He was personable, very attractive and…dangerous. I could see it in his eyes, the same look as special forces friends I had known in the past. Of course he talked in the workplace about his family and all the wonderful things of his culture…he was very intelligent but not well educated. I was about to date him (after Ramadan) when my friend from Morrocco said, “NEVER trust a Muslim man, he will completely rule you.” I heeded her advice and never did go out with him. This was before 9-11. After 9-11 I wondered about one of the reasons we never did go out…he and his “roommates” were always busy on the weekends “looking for restaurant locations” because they wanted to open one. Later, I wondered exactly what they were scouting and believe it was NOT restaurants. My family laughs at me when I relate this, but my instincts tell me he was or is a potential danger. Fortunately, he never contacted me again.

Muslims don’t date, they are not allowed to according to Islam. In other words whomever you ‘dated’ was not following Islam in the first place, they were just titled ‘muslim,’ through hereditary means. It’s everyone’s choice whether they want to leave a religion or not. But it’s their loss if they leave the right one.

Muslims should have good relations with all people, males as well as females, at school, at work, in you neighborhood etc. You should be kind and courteous to everyone. However, it is not allowed in Islam to take a non-mahram person or persons of the opposite gender as a very close friend. Such friendship often leads to haram. In the Qur’an, Allah mentioned that good men and women are those who marry, do not have fornicating relationships and do not have “paramours” or Akhdan see An-Nisaa’: 25, Al-Ma’idah: 5).One more thing a Muslim who kills innocent civilians cannot be addressed as a Muslim and would never be accepted in Islam

Absolutely amazing….still cant see why you hate islam when the real problem lies between you and your ex. perhaps you should seek help from a shrink rather than confuse the issue of Religion with personal emotion…..its like me saying that all Christians who are protestant are bad people because they follow a man who had his wifes’ killed and created his own religion so he can marry to fulfil his own fantasies lust. But in reality we know that’s not true.

Muslims must memorise, not ask questions. must listen and believe whatever they are told, not to think outside that. they are trapped. be sorry for them. If they were allowed a choice they would find their way to God through the love of Jesus Christ. Be much happier doing it and the world would be a lot safer. Hell would be less full of those who shouldn’t be there.

Muslims pretend inside out. There is nothing in muslims that is not inundated with pretext, deception, false, etc. If a muslim tells one anything true, it is because an enough lie will follow that enslave the listener. I have lived with muslims for more than 40 years, and have drank more than enough of their hypocrisies that I will never want anymore of it. If religion is by force and islam is the only one left, I will prefer to die to imagining myself facing Mecca (otherwise Allah’s face cease to exist and Mohammed collapsed in hottest anger, then their followers even bomb or kill themselves in their hottest zeal to kill the infidel, for not facing Mecca), forgetting to know and accept that all Meccan worshipers are slaves to Mecca and all that is there? Just imagine the number of intellectuals in our highest and best institutions who are stooges of Mecca in the name of religion. Then think about the fear that Mecca has infiltrated the world with, that the non-muslims are almost voiceless, as if islam will not hack them down when they choose indifference! Thanks for the few that have refused to keep silence.

I was married to a muslim, I now suffer from PTSD and I seemed to be stuck in the chock of this evilness that I witnessed. The mail above says the truth: “Islam brainwashes people. Everything in Islam goes against Psychology. It is highly impossible to have a stable mindset while raised in that culture. You don’t have a voice in that culture and religion.” My ex suffers severely from several personality disorders because he was so messed up as a child. I weep for that fact though I fear the grown up version deeply.

I wont take extreme stand however, with my experience i can say majority of Muslims do not apply basic logic while defending Islam. I attribute their attitude to the basic education which Islam offers them and that is no question..just this book is right!!! I feel Islam needs to go under a big religious overhaul otherwise hatred towards this religion will keep on increasing….

Islam is a good religion. Not all Muslim are terrorists. Muslim is a religion of peace. People in the Muslim community don’t consider terrorists as Muslims but demons who are crazy. When is the Quran it says we will punish those who don’t believe. We means God or Allah. And believe doesn’t mean Islam just some of the principles like don’t kill and steal but ever then it God sees love in your soul he will forgive you. ISIS is a joke. They say they love God but they kill his children.

All fanatic Islamists should be confined to their region only and not allowed to move anywhere in the world. World should unite to deny them VISA. Develop alternatives of petrol and diesel

So all non muslims around the world can live in peace and harmony these people bring bad name to all other emigrants who work their Ass off pay their taxes and obey the rules of the country who chose to move and live happily with their customs and the people of the country these muslim fanatics oppose everything

All of the Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are inherent oppressors of free thought and, consequently, they inhibit human advancement in all regards. For example: there is no freedom for a person to develop their own individual ideas, especially secular ones, when they are compelled (by threat of death, eternal suffering, etc.) to abide by a prescribed set of beliefs from books that are 1000+ years old. New ideas are the cornerstone of human advancement, naturally. So when people are restricted by religion or otherwise from forming new ideas, the progression of the human race slows down.

WHAT SETS ISLAM APART IS the tendency in the “modern” Islamic world to enforce the aforementioned inherent restriction of “secular” ideas much more than it’s Christian and Jewish counterparts. In most of the christian diaspora I can share the ideas within this post without repercussion. If I said these exact same words in much of the middle east, I would likely face execution as a blasphemer.

I don’t claim to be an expert on Islam, but I am inclined to believe that the reason Islam is so restricting is because of aspects in the Muslim holy texts that do some or all of the following in a particularly extreme manner: create a culture of intolerance, provide harsh punishment for dissent, restrict education (WHO is taught and WHAT is taught), etc.

Many streotype about Islam just from seeing few of Muslims, not from what really Islam is. About 1,6 billion people of moslem and the most growing religion. It won’t happen if Islam concept of God and humanisms are not true. Islam is the last religion from God after Jew n Christian. If there is any newest technology come from a manufacture which one will be the best. Learn first by yourself, not let others drive your opinion. One web worth to try: edialoque.org

Hats off to you Pam. You are indeed brave. Islam is indeed big big threat and inhuman.Only respite with muslims is the ones who either are nt serious about Islam or are moderates,How can one even imagine allowing to rape[and keep sex slaves] slaves and say Islam forbids fornication.Hate all religions.Imagine to raid and subjugate all countries and ‘force’ your religion-illogical beliefs ,rape,loot bounty and say Allah is great. And by the way where is God among all these things, God consciousness start when you rise even above routine[it means just and honest] life.Here you are living demons, where is your God?

Islam is an evil religion, there is no peace we can expect from this world until islam exists in the world . we should eradicate this religion from this world is the only solution to save this earth. People who is an ardent follower of islam, are involving in too much of terrorism activities in the name of islam religion (Both male and female), and doing more harmful activities and exploding more bomb blast around the globe, the reason is , they are getting too much of closer to islam religion and talking such stupid things about their religion principle to other country and people , so the progress will not take place while they are keep on talking about stupid islam religion.

This is simply appalling! Who do you think you are (the writer and all those Islamophobes who are commenting) to judge a religion, such as Islam, based on what you’ve heard and some, I repeat SOME, stories. How would you feel if someone just started bad-mouthing about your religion!? If you honestly believe that a religion should be “outlawed” or that it is “dangerous”, then I am sorry that you have been denied the privilege of a proper education. In every religion, there are extremists and there are those who simply just go under that religion’s name, unaware of what it is really about. Then there are the good followers of that religion. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU SHOULD BASE YOUR JUDGEMENTS ON! And to be completely honest with you, why should anyone judge another religion? What good do you get out of it? You people should really get out of your comfort zones, and start understanding that not everything that opposes your own beliefs or opinions is “dangerous”. While reading the comments here, I read some that stated some VERY false claims about Islam, and those who claim that they “read” the Quran, how did you that may I ask? It’s in Arabic, and most of you here are Americans who probably don’t speak that language. Even if you could speak Arabic, its level of language is way too hard for a regular speaker to understand. This then leads to mistranslations and misunderstandings, usually caused by those who are narrow-minded and believe that anything that they do not agree with is wrong! Moreover, one must keep in mind that these so-called “letters” that are sent could simply be made-up. This seems like the perfect opportunity for an Islamophobe to try and show this beautiful religion in a bad lighting. I think you all need to understand what true faith is really about. It is clear that most people here think of religion as just a title they go by, rather than something they really believe in. GO EDUCATE YOURSELVES PLEASE! Before simply judging a religion, you should properly read about it. For example, my friend’s dad, who is a Christian, has read the Quran. And FYI, to those Christians who commented that Islam didn’t make sense and was not peaceful, you should keep in mind that a lot of your religion’s followers are constantly converting to Islam. Also, the other day, two of my friends, who are Christian, had different views on who Jesus was and who God was! So is your religion really perfect? Does the fact that you are not sure about the basis of your faith, give me the right to start insulting your religion and giving it labels? One last piece of advice: you should start interacting with real Muslims if you want to judge the religion. “About 6 in 10 Americans say they don’t know a Muslim person, according to two decades of surveys that the Bridge Initiative reviewed.”

Many people are ignorant and view Islam as evil, especially now, because of how Islam is portrayed in the media. People thinking that all Muslims are terrorists and extremists and all is wrong. Extremism is what makes Islam look bad. Islam isn’t a bad religion any more than Christianity, Judaism or any other religion is bad. There are good people in all religions, and a small minority of bad too. Too many people view everything to do with Islam as evil. Read on from step one to improve your understanding and stopping viewing Islam as evil.

ISLAM is worst religion . The only reason for its spread , it allows domestication of females as pet animals and the males can treat them as sex objects and divorce them as and when required sighting the quran and shariyat. Bloody Hypocrites. They have become real menace . instead of solving their internal problems they propagate their filthy religion to the rest of the world. which sucks.I want to ask Muslims one simple question “What is the purpose of creation of Universe”. Is it sex, Eating meat, Jihad,female suppression, making the lives of other religions on this earth a living Hell. Then they will cry “we are treated differently” . you will not mingle and leave in peace with others . they want their book (written by some fool) treated as GOD and want everyone to treat you as per that .. yyyy???Jews are best ever in modern time because they are pragmatic and they know how to beat ur arse. you filthy goons. world has terrorism because of you. There is no clan which has spread terrorism. you are the one.Most of the people give preference to their work bt these ass holes will walkout sighting their religious practices yyyy . others don’t have religion. they also have a path which leads to GOd. and if your ALLAH is such a powerful tell him to create a different earth and keep you there. why has he left you on this earth to spread out the filth.

RELIGION is not the problem CULTURE IS

Do not define Islam by Cultural conditioning

I’m not going to say any specific country’s and excuse me if I offend the Middle East but a middle eastern Christian is just as likely to beat a woman as a Muslim. It is not religion but I understand media brainwashes you to believe this.

My dad is catholic and used to hit my mum and his dad did the same

And I have had 2 Muslim boyfriends that would never touch me, in fact they are 10x more gentle than Australian boyfriends I have had.

This post really upsets me because Islam is continuously persecuted when we need to look at what the problem with violence is within culture

Having read this article, i must admit that whilst I was slightly hurt (as I am a young Muslim), I realised that some of these statements are true … to an extent. However, let me make some things clear;

– All Muslims should known that they are always performing da’wah (the act of inviting someone to Islam) because of the actions they do and the words they say. These can affect the reputation of Islam at any time, so Muslims are encouraged to keep this in mind at all times. Therefore, in answer to some previous statements in this discussion, terrorists are bad Muslims, no matter how many people they kill in the name of Allah (swt), as that is the opposite of peace, which Islam tries to preach.

– One of the main points in your article is how badly women are treated in the middle east. However, this is plainly wrong in the ways of Islamic teachings, and some people fail to realise that women have equal STATUS as men, but different JOBS and different RIGHTS. This is because Allah (swt) created men and women for different purposes. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) showed how important this teaching was in his last sermon, when he said:

“All mankind is descended from Adam and Eve, an Arab is not better than a non-Arab and a non-Arab is not better than an Arab; a white person is not better than a black person, nor is a black person better than a white person except by piety and good actions. Learn that every Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim and that Muslims form one brotherhood.”

– If a Muslim is not willing to answer a non-Muslim when he/she (the Muslim) is questioned about Islam, there could be two reasons:
He/She does not know the answer, and so doesn’t want to guess in case it is wrong.
He/She is convinced that to question Islam is a great sin
If the Muslim does not know the answer, he/she should be free in expressing so, but also the Muslim should definitely not be aggressive towards the questioner in any way. Every Muslim should make it their duty to research Islam s much as possible, and so it was wrong of your boyfriend to react so violently.

– One last thing, for all you non-Muslims questioning Islam, please don’t go searching the internet for answers. There are some dodgy people out there who will not be able to answer your answer truthfully or inexperienced Muslims. Please, ask an Imam in real life, study the lives of great Muslims of the past (i.e Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) or more recently, Malcolm X). Unfortunately, ever since the 9/11 attacks, the world hasn’t seen many more great Muslims, although they are there, just being kept quiet by the constant attacks on Islam by the media and the world in general. Though remember, throughout this, Islam is still the fastest growing religion in the world, and eve though 62% of Americans don’t know a Muslim personally, those that do generally do have a positive outlook on Islam.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills a mu‘aahid (a non-Muslim living under Muslim rule) will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, although its fragrance may be detected from a distance of forty years.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2995

All prophets and religions came with peace there is nothing wrong with islam if muslims were actually applying islam principles they would’nt have been like that the thing is some muslims nowadays stick to cultures and traditions not islam basically islam means peace islam is against terrorism god commands us in quraan to have mercy and treat all people kindly islam honors and respects women
“A funeral procession passed in front of the Prophet and he stood up. When he was told that it was the coffin of a jew, he said, “Is it not a living being (soul)?” 
How can such religion support terrorism!!

I do agree that islam is a dangerous lunatic death cult, but this woman did not give any specifics about her boyfriend’s actions other than him not knowing or caring about the holocaust, and showing her the cruelty and inhumanity that present day Israeli zionists inflict on Palestinian people. For this she accuses him of hating jews.
The fact is that Zionism and radical Islam are allies, (Saudi Arabia is a puppet of Israel). Many jews have realized just how dangerous the zionist movement is, and have tried to distance themselves from this cult The deobandi and wahabbi muslims do the dirty work of the radical israeli zionists by wiping out all right thinking people who might be able to create and lead strong independent arab countries, which would be a threat to Israel’s hegemony.
Islam by itself is just a bunch of really stupid and bad ideas, but when an already ignorant people are used to serve the geopolitical goals of a powerful global cabal,
you then have a situation where the continued existence of western civilization itself is being threatened. The muslims are mere tools. The ones who are actually using them are hiding in the shadows.

Everyone has the right to choose their religion and to question about it .. I agree that muslims are a bit aggressive when it comes to islam but not all of them.. Not all of Muslims like your ex i think violence depends on the person not the religion. It really makes me sad when i read all these insult about islam and the way you’re thinking ?. Not all Muslim women are like those who sends messages crying. I’m a Muslim and i live in the Middle East I’m not wearing hijab and my family is totally ok with that. I have Christian friends and they don’t criticize islam they are totally fine with muslims cuz they live in the Middle East they see and talk to Muslims everyday they don’t just listen to people in Media and internet and start judging like you do and that incident with your ex is just cuz he’s a total psycho and a racist ?please don’t make this incident distort all Muslims and islam there are good Muslim men who can explain islam without aggression so please stop treating muslims like wild animals and please stop insulting islam this way we are not serial killers or something we eat drink sleep just like normal human beings ? i never doubted that islam is unfair to me as a Muslim woman I’ll always be a Muslim not cuz i have to but cuz i want to cuz I really really love islam

Maybe judging an entire religeon because of certain people isn’t such a good idea,I am a muslim myself and I am not forced into doing anything nor do I feel oppressed as a muslim teenager.If we were to start judging the entire christian religeon due to certain groups of people believe me there would be lots to say….

I understand D. You are likely a rational thinking young person with your head in the modern age. All religions have their extremists. All religions deserve scrutiny. What is alarming are the results of opinion polls throughout the muslim world concerning their attitudes toward, terrorism, al-Qaada, Osama bin Laden, the 9/11 attacks, violence in defense of Islam, Sharia law, honor killings, and matters concerning assimilation in Western society. There are many polls with similar results to be found online. Here is a link to some of them: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/opinion-polls.htm

These polls suggest there is much more than a tiny minority of muslims who at least sympathize with terrorism and barbaric beliefs like death for apostasy, sharia law, honor killings, lack of women’s rights, etc. This is extreme, dangerous and cause for great concern. “Death to anyone who leaves Christianity” is not likely something we are going to hear. Islam clearly has a problem living in the modern age. Muslims, Christians, atheists and all thinking people should be aware of and concerned with this.

All religions are babblings of a species in their infancy. At this moment in history, Islam is the biggest threat to the survival of the species. We must evolve beyond religion or face dire consequences.

i left islam few years back. i was in saudi arabia and in mosque i was taught that only allah is almighty and there is no god except allah. other religions are not perfect only islam is. i never beloved these rubbish things and changed religion with family. if you talk muslims about if there is one god allah and he only created humans then why he created kafirs. they began to shout and threat not to question again. this is kind of jokery.i am not fool so i changed. there is no relation between islam and peace. islam produced uncivilizations.

i’m muslem and the terrorists kill me too. the usa and English and israel build the terrorists. maybe you ask why? because they want to reach every thing that we have. in year 1917 until 19 the England kill 9 million Iranians people this is holocaust. you see Muslim!!!! and my question what kind of Muslim??? yes is too easy that sit on your chair and say i receive email oh man i know every thing. no this not true way.
in islam women can give money for milking themselves children of your husband.
do you think hijab is bad? answer: women are greater than you think about her body.
if you want true islam don’t look at arabestan soodi

Islam is a religion that pleases the flesh such as having four wives, treat women like they are half human. 72 virgins in heaven?? I’m pretty sure after death you will be separated from your body and won’t have the body parts or desire to have sex since its only function is to reproduce. Which makes me wonder do female suicide bombers get 72 virgins? If islam’s god is so great why does he ask his followers to kill for him? What other religion on the planet requires its followers to kill, steal and destroy others who don’t believe as they do?

Be mindful..Islam doesn’t allow dating as it often leads to single women raising their own children, STDs, or a horrible state of being after it’s over. We remain chaste until marriage..a Muslim that is “dating” you is already a disobedient one and probably won’t know how to defend Islam if they represent it falsely.

I’ve never liked Islam . But I try to respect it as much as I could. I also tried my best to respect and try to understand Muslims when the only Muslim I ever really got along with came into my life. She is a good friend of mine and our mindsets are similar. She was born and raised in America. She is from Pakastan and was born into Islam. She’s very sensitive when it comes to her religion because she’s been critisized so much for her religion, especially after 9/11. She’s defensive over Islam and I just want her to see the truth.

Great. Please introduce her to the Lord Jesus Christ. I promise her life will never be the same.

Jesus is the way, the Truth and the life, and no one comes to the father except through him.

If you want her to see truth, give her a Bible and allow her to know Jesus Christ.

Praying for her and you.

I need to move to a different galaxy… one in which religion does not exist. Am I the only one being tormented by all this back and forth about who is right and wrong. We need to all strive to live in harmony based on our natural human instincts of kindness, respect, and love. Obviously, it is wrong and inhumane to murder… to enslave innocent people… to create mass genocides and a toxic environment that causes millions of humans to be displaced from their homes… it’s time to set the religious books down and reflect on the problems being caused because of religion. Look in your own heart to see what is going on in this world… and critically analyze the situation…. and see with your own eyes that all the hatred, crime, murdering, rape… needs to stop and you need to stop protecting or defend those actions of others simply because they have the same religion as you. ughghghghghghghugh ugh!
