Product Description

Product Description

In Islam, apostasy is still viewed as an almost unthinkable act, and in orthodox circles it is considered a crime punishable by death. Renowned scholar of Islamic Studies Bernard Lewis described the seriousness of leaving the Islamic faith in the following dire terms: "Apostasy was a crime as well as a sin, and the apostate was damned both in this world and the next. His crime was treason - desertion and betrayal of the community to which he belonged, and to which he owed loyalty; his life and property were forfeit. He was a dead limb to be excised." Defying the death penalty applicable to all apostates in Islam, the ex-Muslims who are here represented feel it is their duty to speak up against their former faith, to tell the truth about the fastest growing religion in the world. These former Muslims, from all parts of the Islamic world, recount how they slowly came to realize that the religion into which they were born was not only a sham but also a dangerous cult.

5.0 out of 5 stars an insight into an alien world, 5 Jul 2005
By Mr. M. Murray "jyln115" (england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book astonishing. It is a fair and balnced collection of essays of people who have left islam for various reasons sometimes to be atheists or to follow another religion, and the enormous difficulties this caused. In the west we take it for granted we may have as much or as little of any religion we care for and mostly we try to respect peoples opinions on this, this book is an insight into an alien world where such freedom of conscience is mostly not tolerated at all. The stories can be very moving, poignant, sad, and sometimes full of hope. What comes through is the social cruelty of islam and how muslims are themselves victims of their religion, but once they realize and want to do something about it, that is when their problems really begins. It makes you glad you are not a muslim
