Christmas, Hannukkah and Eid-ul-Adha all miraculously falling in the same week, only a day or two ...
Article of Apostasy: The Saint?s conversion
2007-12-17 12:20:00 Hi. This is the Saint, and I?ll be telling my story of apostasy. My current state of calm seems strange when I think about the past, because my adolescent years were spent in a lot of mental turmoil, pondering over Islam?s inconsistency with human rights and modernism, and trying to come up with a workable ...
Rebellion in Islam: the fight against doctrine
2007-12-11 17:21:00 Another apostate of Islam, sherryx writes about the historic forces that led to the rise of Sufism. It’s an enlightening article that highlights the mystical and libertarian force within Islam, suprisingly in the language of Marxists! I recommend everyone read this, especially the unfriendly critics of Islam. I am He whom I love, and He whom ...
Another apostate joins Towelianism!
2007-12-05 19:29:00 Say hello to The Saint! He’s yet another Pakistani apostate of Islam and will be blogging for us regularly. (He already has been, actually!) It seems these days you find a Muslim turning apostate every corner! I meet one every week or so, it seems! Post 9/11 Islam was in the spotlight; even though terrorism brought ...
Islamists make Islamic Teddy Bears!
2007-12-04 08:33:00 The reasoning of the Islamist’s outrage over naming a teddy bear “Muhammad” has been revealed: there is nothing inherently wrong in teddy bears themselves, it’s just disrespectful to name a Western looking teddy bear Muhammad. Therefore Islamists have made their own versions of teddy bears, which can now be named any Muslim name! The Arab Muslim ...
Arguing against Theists; an effort in?
2007-12-04 07:02:00 This picture hilariously demonstrates the problem with arguing against theists about the existence of god:
A few words to mark the occasion?..
2007-12-02 10:34:00 On reaching a 100,000 hits we sent our imp T.aulia around to record the reaction of Towelians. Here is what he got-: A 100,000 hits? Of what? Blog? Whats that? Some kinda new really trippy drug or somethin? - Lord Towelie Towelianism has grown from a satirical practical joke to an elite ...
British Muslims? attitudes
2007-11-30 00:00:00 A fellow Towelian writes: So there I am messing around with a couple of young Muslims heads. Just for kicks, with a few friends of mine… I didn’t say anything blasphemous, but outrageous like “Alcohol is allowed in Islam”. It’s not but I thought I’d ruffle a few feathers with that one. Obviously I get ...
Russell and Hell
2007-11-28 12:57:00 Nothing would be more apt for my first post than the remembrance of a small, yet very significant moment of early adolescence: The discovery that Bertrand Russell was an atheist by coming across a quote of him. I can clearly recall my reaction to it at that time. I was horrified, and i felt a knot in my stomach and ...
T. Aulia?s apostasy from Islam
2007-11-27 18:18:00 Hi. My name is T. Aulia and as you may all know, I am an imp… the mascot of Towelianism! And this is my story of apostasy from Islam. (The picture above is just one of the many shapes I can take. Ain’t I beeyoootiful?) I left God with a word; “bye”. But he said, “Wait! Why ...
Has slavery truly been abolished?
2007-11-26 18:35:00 Like many atheists, I tend to like Richard Dawkins. He’s reasonable, down-to-Earth and passionate about right-headedness. He’s moral, or, at least, makes an effort to be. And, like all people who pursue causes, he prioritizes one cause over others (which is in fact how it ought to be, to concentrate resources better) but does not ...
Liberalism, Islam style!
2007-11-24 18:09:00 h/t LOLJesus.com Aw man, this sort of stuff should appear on our blog first!
Fundamentalist Christian preaching
2007-11-23 21:05:00 So there I was thinking I had written enough criticism of Christianity and Christians for the time being, trying to shift my focus back to Islam and Muslims, but alas… I ran in to a super Christian blog that just compelled me to write! Many apologies to my Christian readers, but I feel I ...
How religious people are stupid
2007-11-22 18:37:00 So there I was walking down my university campus… when I ran in to some Christian nuts. The guy below happily posed for a picture. If by “sin” they mean “immoral” behavior, then clearly I know better than them. Hey, I don’t believe in Jesus but it’s not like I’m going around committing immoral acts etc. ...
Islamophobia & other hate crimes statistics in the US
2007-11-20 19:22:00 Although I came across the following from a right-wing neo-con-ish, zionist-looking blog which I am thoroughly turned off by, the post itself has merit. Namely because the source of the following statistics are reliable. They’re from our very own FBI! The following tables list hate crimes in 2006: Bias motivation Incidents Offenses Victims1 Religion: 1,462 1,597 1,750 Anti-Islamic 156 191 208 Anti-Jewish 967 1,027 1,144 Anti-Atheism/Agnosticism/etc. 7 8 8 191 anti-Islamic incidents, 1,027 anti-Jewish incidents! These statistics ...
Christians are genocidal maniacs!?
2007-11-18 18:00:00 No you don’t have to go all the way back to the Spanish Inquisition to find violence by Christians, acting as a “Christian Force” - a group identity based on religious lines, attacking another religious group. Most people don’t hear about this because they are inundated by right wing anti-Islamic blogs or are just too busy ...
Quran vs Old Testament
2007-11-17 04:38:00 Which one’s more violent? The Old Testament easily. Because when the Quran calls for killing people, in all but one verse it makes killing an act of self defense. Whereas the Torah has beautiful gems like: I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that ...
How Muslims become Islamists
2007-11-12 00:31:00 Natural Geographic’s September issue carried this front cover (click the image below to download the article in discussion): Like every Natural Geographic production, this one was well informed, expansive and authoritative.

The Problem with Muslims
2007-10-30 23:50:00 (Please take the article below to be in a mock angry tone, like Jack Black! It’s not real anger… ) Problems with the rational Muslim: There are a lot of problems with Muslims. The first thing is obviously that from the three Abrahamic adherents, they’re the most irrational. And yes that’s a general statement and ...
Dialog between an imp & ?The Last Believer?
2007-10-22 02:41:00 Some words from our great imp, T. Aulia, in a conversation with the only Towelian who (until recently) believed there was a god: The Last Believer says: I don’t want to sound selfish, but in reality, you have to be selfish and keep yourself happy and healthy in order to give of ...
A child questions god!
2007-10-18 05:28:00 Now don’t answer for god you guys… let him speak up for himself for a change. I’ll count till ten…
T. Aulia goes to an Eid party
2007-10-15 01:38:00 Our legendary mascot, the imp T. Aulia recently went to a private Eid party he was invited to. The following account by T. Aulia elaborates an experience both Diet Muslims and anti-Islam critics can learn from. The Diet Muslims can benefit from a few theological lessons in this article and the anti-Islam critics can experience the ...

Ramazan: The dreaded month for closet apostates!
2007-09-21 22:00:00 Ramazan is the holy month of Islam during which Muslims keep fasts. This is supplemented by an increase in other religious activity such as regular prayer and recitation of the Koran. For closet apostates this is quite problematic. In order to keep their apostasy a secret and deflect awkward questions they have to pretend to do the same. As one Towelian Haris relates-: I ...
Article of Apostasy(Part 1): The Conversation
2007-09-12 19:33:00 It wasn?t easy for me to finally sit down to write this article and reflect upon who I used to be. Who-I-used-to-be is not something I am particularly proud of. I do find it surprising, now that I reflect upon it, how far I have managed come since then, especially considering that it started only ...
Is Islamophobia declining?
2007-09-07 17:33:00 I see a new trend arising on the blogosphere. The heyday of Islamophobic attempts at discrediting Islam and causing enimity, hatred and even violence against Muslims/Islam is slowing down. The liberal Atheist, Frederick Voorhees wrote articles about how Americans have “gone too far” in their War Of Terror. Even a conservative Christian is out there trying ...
Abraham, prophet of schitzophrenia
2007-09-04 22:37:00 God asked a father to slit the throat of his own son. Never mind that he stopped them, the fact that he asked such a horrible thing to begin with is effing disturbing. What kind of a god demands fealty/loyalty like that? A very petty one. It’s like you asked your special someone to slit ...
The OC Apostate has disappeared
2007-09-04 21:36:00 She was in touch with us until recently. Her blog’s gone and her email as well. She probably deleted it herself, which saddens us. If you’re out there and reading this, please get in touch with us again to let us know you’re alright.
The Islamophobic perspective of ?ex-Muslims?
2007-09-04 18:27:00 This post was a long time coming. In our experience of dealing with all kinds of people with all kinds of views online, this particular experience stands out the most: A Towelian meets an Islamophobe, criticizes his/her politics or dissents with their point of view about Islam. Usually these Islamophobes are “never-been-muslims”-; and “never-had-muslim-friends-”, yet consider themselves ...
A brief history of religion
2007-08-28 07:06:00 So how about we take a break from all that bullshit and try to believe in something different: LMAO!!!!
Does the West REALLY stand for tolerance?
2007-08-15 19:27:00 So everyone’s blaming Islam and Muslims for being intolerant to other faiths etc. They claim (truthfully) that Islamic countries institutionally oppress their religious minorities. As if to imply that the Western civilization (or should I say “Christian Civilization”) is somehow actually tolerant! From De-Conversion.com: “Norway is a constitutional monarchy without separation of Church and State. The constitution declares ...
Women?s rights in Islamic Pakistan - Documentary
2007-08-05 10:56:00 A documentary is being made in Pakistan and Canada right now, dealing with women’s rights in Islamic Pakistan. Here is the synopsis: Dishonour Defied In June 2002, 30-year-old Mukhtar Mai, a woman from a small and impoverished village in Pakistan?s Punjab province, was gang raped by four men from the rival Mastoi clan. The rape was an ...
The Adam and Eve story
2007-08-05 03:44:00 The Quran’s Adam & Eve story as we all know was shameless plagiarized from the Bible, which in turn was plagiarized from the Torah! What does this prove? Jews are the most innovative creative fiction writers and the rest are imitators! lol. Anyhow, here’s the Adam & Eve story in cartoon format: First there was ...

The Last Straw

XI Part 4: In Delirium What follows is an edited version of Part 3.] I was having breakfast ...
How a devout Muslim left Islam
2007-07-18 12:00:00 I was born to a Muslim Indian family settled in America and thrust into Islam from an early age. I finished reading the Quran (in classical Arabic, in other words I had no idea what the words on the page meant, I had learned to emit sounds based on what Arabic letter I saw) by ...
Towelian definitions
2007-07-13 23:57:00 What with all the controversy surrounding basic terms related to Islam, we thought it would be a good idea to formally put our definitions forward. The following explain terms the way we use them on this blog. They are not meant to be arguments or to be imposed on anyone. Everyone can define the ...
Caunte?s apostasy from Islam
2007-07-09 20:23:00 The following is a small essay by another Towelian who is not on our blog. He emailed me this article, to put up on the blog: A good swimmer is comfortable in the water; he sometimes goes deep into it to explore it awhile, but he keeps coming back to the surface because he knows if ...

About us Towelians
2007-06-30 19:32:00 Here’s a little something about us: This may be obvious to our regular readers, but for the new ones: we are apostates of Islam. In other words, we used to be Muslim for most of our lives but due to a ridiculously large number of varying reasons, we stopped identifying ourselves with “Islam”. The one thing that ...
Rushdie?s Knighthood causes Titles Race!
2007-06-22 04:56:00 In a stunning display of emotional maturity, a group of Pakistani Islamic scholars retaliated against Salman Rushdie’s knighthood by awarding Osama Bin Laden the mass murderer the greatest Islamic title they could think of: “Saifullah” which means the “Sword of Allah”. source:BBC This angered the right wing neo-cons who immediately raised the bar ...
Ex-Muslims multiplying! Mash-al-Towelie!
2007-06-22 03:11:00 There has been a lot of introspection amongst Muslims after 9/11. They started exploring their religion with trepidation and hope. The result was a polarization of Muslim society towards extremes. It has become increasingly difficult to remain a “diet” (moderate) Muslim today. My personal experience in my everyday life confirms this theory: I see more women ...
Articles of Apostacy - Part 3: Exploring Muslim minds
2007-06-10 02:37:00 My name is Salahudin and this is the story of my experience with Islam: from being a born Muslim to an agnostic atheist.This article is a continuation from part 2.

2007-06-08 19:43:00 The following is an interview with an anonymous Imaam who is runs a public 1-1877 number for Islam.

My experience with Islam - Part 2: Disagreeing with Theology
2007-06-08 03:38:00 This article is a continuation from part 1. As I stated before, post-9/11 was a time for deep introspection of my beliefs for me. As I started exploring different sects within Islam a feeling of frustration developed within me, mainly because no sect was able to give me what I was looking for: a religious acceptance ...

2007-06-06 09:38:00 My name is Salahudin and this is the story of my experience with Islam; from childhood as a born Muslim to an adult as an agnostic atheist. I was born in 1986 in Lahore, Pakistan.
