How An Ex-Muslim Did Ghar Wapasi | Islam Decoded by Saleem Wastik | Quran Decoded | Sanjay Dixit

A massive shift is underway in the Arab world, as large numbers of people are quietly leaving Islam. Even leaders like Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) are signaling unprecedented changes, raising questions about the future of Islam in the region. What is driving this silent exodus? Is the Islamic world on the brink of a transformation?

A massive shift is taking place across Iran, Persia, and India, as millions are leaving Islam and turning towards atheism or alternative belief systems. With growing disillusionment, repression, and access to new ideas, ex-Muslim voices are rising, challenging traditional narratives and reshaping religious demographics. Sanjay Dixit explores the reasons behind this exodus, the impact of religious skepticism, and the broader implications for Islamic societies.

Why would a Muslim leave her faith to become a Christian, even though it cost her everything, and she received threats from her family? Kenza Haddock had dreams about Jesus that shook up her Muslim beliefs and motivated her to follow Christ regardless of the cost. But there is much more to her story that she shares with Sean in this interesting and moving interview. Join us!

I was kind of in a Muslim bubble. So I just felt like God was just this God who wanted us to be and live a certain kind of way, an do good as much as we could and that's pretty much it. You can't help who you are and you do stuff, but you gotta pay for it. It's really about balancing your sin portfolio."Hear how the war caused him to move to the US and unknowingly enroll in a Christian college, and how his believing brother gave him a challenge: if you ask God, He will reveal Himself to you.Naeem started showing up at FCA meetings with his brother, but was mocking Christians.

Olin Giles interviews Thomas Samuel, a former, radical salafi Muslim who encountered Jesus. In his new autobiography, Thomas Samuel describes his gut-wrenching conversion experience from radical Salafi Islam to becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. From a young age, Thomas was a devout Muslim who memorized the entire Quran, led prayer in the mosque, and dreamed of jihad and martyrdom. However, his life was turned radically upside down when Jesus came to him in a series of dreams, setting in motion a chain of events that would ultimately cause him to rebel and leave Islam while searching for truth in various world religions, none of which brought peace to his tormented soul. Thomas offers a window deep into the daily life, faith, and worldview of the Salafi community. He also outlines the moral, historical, and philosophical problems he found in the Quran and the earliest biography of Muhammad. These inconsistencies caused him to leave Islam and run for his life to Jesus. Website: https://www.radicaltruth.net Donate: https://www.radicaltruth.net/donate

Kenza was born and raised in the Muslim family in Casablanca, Morrocco. Her fear of failing Allah began early. Then her family moved to the states when she was 12. That’s when her efforts to please God ramped up a hundred times! Islam required praying five time a day, she’d pray seven. Islam required a 30 day fast; she’d fast for 40. By the time she was 23, she gave up trying to be good enough. She knew she couldn’t. She was convinced God hated her. And that’s when she decided to end her life. Kenza Haddock is a licensed counselor, an author (her latest book is The Ex-Muslim’s Guide to Christianity) and she’s a follower of Jesus. Because Jesus found her the night she was going to end it all.Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Younes Sadaghiani or Younes Rocks on social Media, is an Iranian born British national who was raised Muslim and now sees Islam as the enemy of freedom of democracy. Although Younes has his criticisms of the Israeli government, he also firmly supports a Jewish state due to the understanding that constant persecution has brought the need for the Jews to have their own homeland. Younes has spoken out on his social media and has been a guest on some popular podcasts recently where he delved deeply into the possible threat of Sharia law in western countries and why there must be steps taken to ensure it doesn't happen. We discussed the current Israeli-Gaza war, the Palestinian national lie and what the 3 options are to have peace in both Israel and its neighbors.

I'm writing a series over on my patreon…on something thats pretty personal to me - the Ex-Mus to TradFash pipeline. It's a path I've seen too many go down and completely descend into blatant far right f*ckery. I've dedicated a fair bit of time this month to unpacking this phenomenon more broadly and to documenting the far right trajectory of one Ex-Muslim in particular, previously thought to be one of the better, more moderate ones by many who had followed the new atheist and Ex-Muslim scenes. If you are interested in learning more about this particular form of radicalization, do check out the series on my patreon. Parts 1 & 2 are up for all Patrons, Part 3 (the wildest ride of the series) coming soon. *** Find part 1 here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/106445369 Find Part 2 here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/106501752 Once you're a Patron you can also check out other Patreon Exclusive posts like “Black History Month with Sam Harris: https://www.patreon.com/posts/black-history-98603534?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Europe is being Islamized. So says ex-Muslim Younes Sadaghiani on today's #NCFWhittle in which he tells our Director Peter Whittle why he left Islam & details the horrors of the Iranian regime.

Ostracized. Alone. Disoriented. If you've left Islam to follow Jesus, that's often how you feel. You've left your family, community, and everything you've known behind. You may have found a loving church community, but no one really understands what it's been like. This week on The Land and the Book, we'll look at the Ex-Muslim's Guide to Christianity. Help for former Muslims who now follow Christ. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*Content Warning: Many mentions of physical abuse &  sexual abuse*  Tricked into moving to Iraq at age 14, Ellaf was separated from her mother and forced into a chiId marriage by her father who felt she was too much of a burden to raise. Ellaf's husband was even more controlling than her father and knew that he could get away with hurting her in many ways, because she was alone in an unfamiliar country and didn't know the culture or the language. Forbidden to use birth control, she had 3 chiIdren before she was 21 years old and after years of suffering, courageously stood up to both her husband and father and got away.

Ostracized. Alone. Disoriented. You’ve left your family, community, and everything you’ve known behind. You may have found a loving church community, but no one really understands what it’s been like.

In this episode, we examine a series of Sam's conversations centered around religion, atheism, and the power of belief.  First, we hear the stories of three guests who have fled their respective oppressive religious organizations. We begin with Sarah Haider, founder of the advocacy group Ex-Muslims of North America, who details how her encounters with militant atheists catalyzed her journey to secularism. Then our narrator, Megan Phelps-Roper, walks us through her story of abandoning the Westboro Baptist Church. Finally, Yasmine Mohammed presents her harrowing account of escaping fundamentalist Islamism and Sam's role in inspiring her public advocacy work. We then tackle the concept of belief more broadly, diving into Sam's understanding of atheism and what sets it apart from the views of other atheist thinkers like Matt Dillahunty and Richard Dawkins. We also revisit an infamous conversation between Sam and Jordan Peterson, wherein they attempt to come to some universal definition of the word “truth.” The episode concludes with two Q&A portions from life events in which Sam addresses some real concerns about purpose and meaning in the absence of religion.   About the Series Filmmaker Jay Shapiro has produced The Essential Sam Harris, a new series of audio documentaries exploring the major topics that Sam has focused on over the course of his career.
