Watch out for the voices of apostates on Muslims for Jesus
2008-04-14 04:00:00 Muslim and Malay Brothers and Sisters especially those in PAS, please monitor this video channel known as ?Muslims For Jesus? on YouTube. Take note that the video channel mentioned earlier was set up on May 7th 2007 and its main purpose is none other than to spread Christianity to Muslims all over the world. Sure, we have lots of such sites in the online world but this particular video channel already has a few disturbing videos questioning our rights to protect our religion here in Malaysia.Please watch out for the above mentioned video channel from time to time. I have a feeling that it will have more disturbing videos challenging Islam and Muslims in Malaysia in the near future.The following Fatwa (No 85488) was issued by IslamWeb Dot Net on the subject of apostasy on the 27th of January 2003:Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Islam legislate capital punishment as a remed...

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 ...
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 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 ...

Polarization in the Islamic world
2007-08-01 02:30:00 I realized a long time ago that the Muslim world was undergoing severe polarization after 9/11. Contrary to what Islamophobes would have you believe, Muslims are very disturbed about terrorism committed in the name of their god and their prophet. Some of us Towelians are example of that; 9/11 triggered a severe introspection which got ...
The Last Straw
2007-07-19 06:31:00 [A fellow Towelian asked me to write about my story here.

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.

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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
My experience with Islam - Part 1: My Islamic background
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.

Introducing Anti-Islamic Bigotry aka Islamophobia
2007-06-03 02:51:00 I just read this here. Talk about Islamophobia! Some enlightened American blogger once said “We should be careful in laying allegations against Muslims and Islam, lest we become fascistic ourselves”. No one’s heading that advice I see. And just to be clear: “Gee. He was a muslim? I wouldn’t have guessed n a gazillion years.” is what this ...

Atheism - a unifying force!
2007-06-02 21:14:00 Agnostic Atheism is a blog of ex-Christians, pretty much like our own little blog here. You can even call their blog our “cousin site”. They have the same issues with Christianity as we have with Islam. Apart from the immense ideological similarities we share, we also have other interesting - tactical - similarities. For one thing their blog, ...

Islam, Muslims & the World - a brief, paradigmatic analysis
2007-05-29 19:38:00 This article discusses the paradigmatic relationship and interaction between Muslims, Islam and the “external” world. The analysis elaborates a social theory which explains the Muslim mindset, both political and religious (though the two may be blurred in many aspects of the Islamic life) and their current and potential relationship with the rest of the world. Specifically, ...

Penn and Teller: Bullshit! - Creationism
2007-05-21 17:52:00 Like the description says: “Penn and Teller expose the bullshit that is creationism.” I recommend that you click the video and watch it full screen. It’s about 26 minutes or so. It applies very VERY well to Muslims who make the EXACT same crap argument. If there’s any video that targets Christianity but applies to ...

Pakistan: Death For Apostates Of Islam Bill Up For Vote
2007-05-10 16:50:00 WASHINGTON -- A new apostasy draft bill has been sent before a standing committee in Pakistan's National Assembly. If passed, the Apostasy Act 2006, adopted in first reading by the parliament and tabled by the six-party Islamic alliance, the Muttahida Majlis-i- Amal or MMA, would sentence to death all Muslim men found guilty of leaving Islam. Muslim women would face life in prison for the same crime.The draft bill goes into great detail over qualifications for conviction of "offenders".Section 4 of the bill states that testimony by two adults accusing someone of leaving the Muslim faith, or a confession by the accused, is all that is needed for conviction. However, in some courts throughout Pakistan testimony by non-Muslims is prohibited.In Section 5 the apostate is granted 3 to 30 days to renounce his or her conversion and return to Islam. The section also stipulates that the initial rejection of Islam can still be punishable by up to two years incarceration, despite recantation. ...
Heaven is not my type of place!
2007-05-07 07:02:00 The Quran is essentially of Arabic taste! Of course there might have been “god’s wisdom” in revealing it that way, so that early followers of Islam might have good grasp over it, but people who have no Arabian affiliations or connections find it extremely absurd to relate to some of its cultural settings. The heaven as it ...
The power of religion in the US
2007-05-06 18:47:00 And that is why we believe in Lord Towelie. That is why we are Towelians! We believe marijuana will set us free. We submit to weed, not to Allah! Mary Jane is our salvation, not Holy Mary! Stoners are the chosen of God (Lord Towelie), not the children of Israel!
Hypocrisy of Muslims and Westerners
2007-05-04 19:25:00 Having lived in a western, allegedly secular country (USA) and in a self declared Islamic republic, I can unequivocally say that Western people (non-Muslims, Christians and even Atheists and Agnostics from the West) and Muslim people are hypocrites in one way or another; they just don’t support their own proclaimed ideals to the extent at which ...

2007-05-03 17:12:00 Excellent article explaining the ground realities of how religion (generally) is faring in the world today.

Never before has religion faced such enormous levels ...
Is a sense of humor allowed in Islam?
2007-05-02 00:38:00 Luckily for the forehead-slamming, pious-to-the-degree-of-being-co-nstipated-prudes, the answer is a resounding yes! This gem of a find gave us the answer. And as always with Islam, nothing is “allowed” without a bit but following it. For example, the above pdf document explains that you are allowed to, as a Muslim, have a sense of humor, BUT you ...
Richard Dawkins on CNN
2007-05-02 00:00:00 In The Name Of Towelie, Richard Dawkins is hereby declared a Saint!!!

George Carlin on religion
