Dear Ali Sina, 

It gave me great pleasure to read your site. I come from Iran just like you. My family immigrated to the USA not long before the revolution. I was a little boy then and I did not realize that my parents saved my life when they left Iran . I was extremely angry and cried day and night. I made a vow I would come back to Iran and would be a faithful Muslim. 

I do not remember when I forgot about my vow but it did happen very soon. My parents tried to cherish some harmless Islamic traditions like abstaining from eating pork but the baleful influence of the West seized us and shortly thereafter we became true Americans. 

I see from your testimony that your decision to leave Islam was a considered one. Unlike you we did absolutely nothing to leave Islam. One day we simply woke up to the fact that we had dropped all the Islamic traditions. I have to confess that it was absolutely natural for us to leave Islam. On the contrary, it was unnatural to abide by the laws of Islam. 

Having read your site I learnt many interesting facts about Mohammed, his teachings and the history of Islam. I had no idea about the true face of Islam and now I would like to express my gratitude for your work. 

I would like to participate on the discussion forum site but unfortunately I do not have enough time. However I believe it is my responsibility to expose Islam whenever I can. I sent your letter to mankind to my friends and asked them to do the same. It is not much but it is better than nothing. 

It is not the only thing I did to help Muslims abandon Islam. I do not know if you consider the following deed of mine as an anti-Islamic one but I think it is my share in performing our ex-Muslims’ mission. I am a happily married man and after five years of marriage I am still madly in love with my wife. We both have busy careers but alas! we are childless. My wife is barren as the doctor said after examining my wife. We were disappointed but decided that it was a good chance for us to adopt children and help them in this world. We adopted two 12-year-old Muslim girls. They are sisters and lived in the USA for their whole lives. However their parents died in an accident (and some relatives abandoned girls). Poor girls were sent the adoption center. We had to go through thick and thin to adopt them but finally we are together. We have to change their minds and make them understand that females are not inferior to males. They do not discuss their past with us and we can only guess but certainly their parents were true Muslims! Girls have no self-respect and self-esteem; they believe in all the rubbish from the Quran. They are changing fast but the trauma of being Muslim women even for twelve years will be with them forever. Having adopted our dear daughters.
