Dear Ayesha,

Thank you for submitting your story. I will think about every word you chose to express your point. I have never intended to change religious belief of anybody until now, except saying what I think. I have many atheist friend not ex-Muslim. That's why I am curious about your feelings.

You wrote that
"since I am well educated (I have a master'd degree) and a decent IQ. "

I will try to be objective as much as I can. I have a PhD on science but not on theology, Some people may not have a degree but they can have emotional Intelligence, which is very essential for social life. Anyway, this is something else.

Do you mind answering one more question? You mentioned "history of India" Are you from that section of Asia? British Empire left Asia with a painful India-Pakistan border conflict. Those people seems that they don't know how to get along with each other. I asked this because many Hindus were complaining about Muslims aggression or crimes on this website. We didn't see any comments against those allegation from Muslims living either in India or Pakistan on this website. My opinion is that If someone is criminal person no need to label him/her with any religion. if we generalize crimes for some groups or sections of society how can multicultural countries survive? Europe experiences this by having EU, Asia should take a lesson from EU countries having different history, not different religion yet.

I will write you more soon. Let me read your comments in detail.
