The reality is this. You left Islam, and that is your choice, may Allah guide you. But when you begin speaking about Islam publicly, especially with criticism or bitterness, that is no longer a private choice. You’ve made it a public da’wah, a call to falsehood, and that requires a public refutation.
Your stories, no matter who they are for, do not exist in a vacuum. They influence people. And when you choose to talk about Islam in a way that misrepresents it, mocks it, or spreads doubt, whether directly or subtly—you’re not just "sharing your experience." You're planting seeds of confusion, and we are commanded by Allah to protect the religion and clarify the truth:
“And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies the truth when it has come to him?” (Qur’an 6:93)
You said, “We don’t share it for you,” but you shared it publicly. The internet isn’t a diary. It’s a platform. When you label your content “ex-Muslim” but use it to attack Islam, you’ve made a choice to be heard and that means you will be answered.
And as for safe spaces: we don't accept the idea that truth has to be silenced so someone can feel safe in their falsehood. Islam is not an opinion; it's haqq. It is not just “a religion we left,” it is the Deen of Allah, and we don’t watch it be insulted and stay silent, even if every kafir on the earth tells us to.
"You are the best nation produced for mankind: you enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong..." (Qur’an 3:110)
Finally, if my words feel like they “don’t belong” in the ex-Muslim tag, ask yourself: Why does kufr deserve a safe space but the truth of Islam does not? You left Islam. We didn’t. And we will never stop speaking on behalf of it.
If you leave Islam as a religion, Leave it as a topic. I do not care for your apostasy story and neither does any other muslim.
