Anybody who has been reading my writing for any length of time will understand that as much as I dislike Islam, that dislike does not extend to individual Muslims. On the contrary I believe that there are a lot of decent individuals who are trapped within Islam. They are trapped by their families, by their community and by fear. Sometimes and for some Muslims, this fear may be merely that of stepping away from the familiar and the familial, but for others the fear is more serious. Some Muslims fear for their lives should they leave or question Islam and coercion in Islam is not an uncommon thing.

Because I can tell the difference between Muslims and Islam I tend to take the view that decent Muslim individuals are decent not because of Islam and its precepts, but in spite of them. Knowing what I know about how Islam works and thinks is also why I believe that ex Muslims should be given the support they deserve and need. This is because they are not just walking away from a religion as would be the case of someone walking away from Christianity or Judaism or some other path, but walking away in the shadow of often great danger from their community and from an ideology that is a spiritual and metaphorical prison.

I was alerted by a reader to the existence of this particular ex Muslim called Sadia and in turn I wanted to alert my readers to her as well. Not all of her YouTube posts are in English but some are. The video below in particular is one that I’d like to draw people’s attention to. It was published in January 2020 and concerns the Government’s refusal to release to the public the report into the massive problem that Britain suffers from when it comes to Islamic Rape Gangs.

Sadia’s video on this subject makes for very interesting listening to. She highlights the sort of racism and Islamic supremacism that exists in British Muslim Pakistani communities, especially those communities that are more isolated from the wider society. She draws a contrast between families in the majority population who would mostly not tolerate outright racism at the family dinner table and Muslim Pakistani families where racism against the ‘kufar’ is just normal.

Like it or not, there is a religious and cultural aspect to the Islamic Rape Gang phenomenon and we should be grateful that there are those out there like Sadia who are willing to talk about this issue.
