Testimony
I have decided to change from
'jihad to hate' to 'jihad to love' as my New
Year Resolution (thanks to your eye-opening
letter you wrote me earlier). The followings
are 10 reasons why I want to give up my faith:
10) Throw down the hijab......as if the only
thing that stands out between men and women
is SEX as hijab I wear, as I am told, is to
prevent men from being excited. Isn't the most
powerful sex organ between the ears instead
of between the legs?
9) Give up my five times a day prayer.......
For what? Why would the Almighty Allah be so
unsecured that He wants me to turn toward him
like Marlin Brando was in the movie 'Apocalypse
Now' as he was worshipped by his hundreds of
savages? I believe it's far greater to help
with my hands of those in need than to pray
with my lips.
8) Give up fasting during the Ramadan........
why go hungry from sun rise to sun down? Hungry?
who I am kidding!! In fact, I tend to eat more
during that month as my weight scale speaks
the truth. In reality, hunger is 'euphemism'
used by moslems for 'pain & suffering'
as they claim to feel for other poor (moslem)
souls. For a change, I plan to donate food
to an orphanage run by the Buddhist temple
in my town during the month of Ramadan.
7) Spend the money I have saved for 'Hajj'
.......... just imagine how pathetic we look
circling around that black rock kissing a meteorite
infected with millions of germs from diabetics
to aids patients(besides it reminds me of the
toward-the-end scene from 'Midnight Express'
in which a dozen of lunatics in prison moving
around a tall rocky structure), and to top
it all, we enrich hatemongering Saudis with
billions of dollars gained from the World's
largest tourism, Hajj and Umrah every year
and yet we are treated like a secondclass citizen
by self-proclaimed custodians of the Holy Land.
6) Abandon the ritual sacrifice of cattle/sheeps.........
why continue this barbaric act of gluttony
during which time we slaughter millions of
those helpless animals more for vanity and
ego than out of necessity.
5) Stop being submissive to men around me........
I shall begin talking to men by looking directly
into their eyes and demand to be treated like
an equal. I am tired of taking the back seat
'cos. I refuse to believe that men are superior
to me. I look around in my community and see
not one single woman I can be proud of. In
my opinion, we have been kept unproductive
in society for too long while men control our
lives under the pretext of dignity & honor.
They can take that 'dignity' and shove it because
dignity goes out the window when you have nothing
to feed our hungry child and consequently hunger
turns you into selling your body like many
women are seen prostituting on Tehran street
today.
4) I shall get me a dog today...........
while the World adores this creature as a most
loyal pet, the moslems shun, as instructed
by the Prophet Mohamed, away from it citing
that they are less sanitary. Hello!! my best
kafir friend has one and she is 10 times healthier
and smells better than all of my cousins and
relatives. Besides dogs are the only animals
known to protect their masters with their lives.
3) Starting today, I shall take full control
of my own life including finding a suitable
mate. How ludicrous it is to let others arrange
my future with a male whom they have never
spend a night or live with. I look around me
and see many of my female cousins were shoved
into marriages at young age with no choice
and they all look like they are just 'existing'
rather than 'living', except my cousin, Sophia,
who married her college sweetheart.
2) I shall stop donating money to the mosque
which is run by an Imam whose one-dimensional-seventh-century-minded
teachings have influenced my brothers and uncles
to be hateful and divisive toward anyone who
doesn't worship the same God. He even preaches
that a good woman is one who obeys her husband.
What a male chauvinistic pig! Besides, who
gives them (Imams) the direct phone line to
Allah as they meddle in our lives from bedroom
to bathroom to our kitchen.
1) and finally I decided to love all humankind
and to do it effectively I know I have to abandon
my faith............
Best regards,
Aisha S.
