I lived as a non muslim in a predominantly muslim country. As I can explain to everyone. the religion islam is very violent and scary for me. Every day, I am scared of everything unless I convert to muslim. but I Will not do it just because of fear. For muslims people around the world ,I want you all to answer me. Why did you do thiis to us . After all we are humans being like you?
As a women why a non muslim deserved to be raped?
If you said that is not islam so what is islam. To me that is Islam I Live with all my life. Nothing good about the teaching. JIhad has killed so many people in my family . What else do you want from us.. I am dying for reasons?
If this is not evil religion tell me then what is evil for you ?
I am so desperate already... I love everyone , every religion but the one that uses violence and brutality to achieve what they want. How come everyone that is very muslim always act very violent to us???WHY
