Keep in mind that when you leave Islam, you aren’t leaving a religion. You are leaving a culture and a family because it is viewed as a rejection of the group.

This can be said about any exclusive religious group that claims that their way is the ONLY way.

This can be said about any exclusive religious group that claims that their way is the ONLY way.

There IS a right Way, and has been ever since Creation the ONLY Way.:

John 14:5-6 (AV; bolding added for emphasis, definitions superscripted):

⁵Thomas saith unto him,

Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way^{(plain-literal)}?

  ⁶Jesus saith unto him,

I am the way^{(figurative-literal)}, the truth, and the life:
no man^{nobody, not even one} cometh unto the Father, but^except by^{by reason of} me.

But you already know all that, Els!
