| Unemployed Teacher of Islam in Australia |
| 2005-02-28 |
| This is from the FFI series on Apostates from Islam ...I am from Egypt but now I am living in Australia... . I dedicated my whole life to advocating Islam and spreading a "new vision" for interpreting the Koran. As a girl I used to find it quite challenging to understand why I should inherit only a half of male's share and why I am considered to be less intelligent than my brother, who was a lazy fellow and didn't study at all.... A few months ago I found myself in a trap. Muslims hated me with all their hearts, calling me a heretic for trying to reinterpret the Koran and the western people thought I was oppressed... I am no longer a Muslim. The only downside is that I am jobless now. Teaching Islam was my occupation.... |
