Hi there

For so long I havent read such a good comment like yours.
I dont study about religion esp Islam. I am atheist, 30+ and have a small daughter.
I was in a relationship with an Egyptian master student for 2 years. And yes I did not have any knowledge about Islam. I love him and tried to do anything for whom I love. We aren't taught to be a liar and to use other.
Yeah, I saw also naked pictures from his fiancee in his phone before their wedding party. She s still in Egpyt
When she knew me and I knew the truth that they were married(in paper in religion) he abandoned me, left me and my daughter high and dry. Leaving that girl(who is 10 years old younger than me) insulting me and my daughter badly.
He took the reasons of religion that I can never understand him and that he wanted his children to grow up in islam way!
Then he left her continuously sending bad words to me, left 2 women fighting
And ending with saying that I tried to break in their marriage and that I had mental problems.
Maybe that girl didn't even dare to give any mistakes to him, BUT me and my small daughter.
And all his Muslim friends pretended that they didn't know me... and that I should calm down and start a new life (!)

Does Islam teach them and allow them to hurt other people to protect themselves?
