Ohhh I was wondering why I kept seeing dancing parrots in posts.
I don't know why either of you are apologising, I'm trying not to swear or use london lingo in my posts lol.
South- Thank you it feels good to know there are people out there in the same position as me tbh. I've heard that too but I feel like a complete and utter pr*ck when I lie tbh. Is that what you're doing? Not telling your parents?
Suki- I feel childish saying this but I don't understand why we can't have both. I have in passing talked about others who have left Islam, they didn't reply there was just a minute of silence, don't think they would take it very well. You're really brave!!! I'm too much of a coward to rock the boat.
Quod Sum Eris- I'm from England, so I probably won't be stoned to death. I feel sorry for those going through this in muslim countries.
i live in Indonesia and things went easy. so it shouldn't be a big problem for you since you live in UK, but its also depend on your family's stage of faith. some has a strong one some dont, like my parents, they "believe" in Islam because they was born and brought up to be a Muslim.
my mother decide to learn sufism which is a good branch within islam, while my dad decide to not give a f*ck about religion at all which is nice. i went to islamic school for my whole life and luckily my friends are cool with it, even the radical one. maybe because im not an aggressive agnostic atheist who mock all beliefs despite the positive impact of the belief to its believers.
