  • East Midlands Ex-Muslim Meet
     OP - September 17, 2013, 06:32 AM
    I'm organising the FIRST ex-muslim meet in Nottingham. This is long overdue and needs to happen. If you think you can make it for an evening out, get in touch! Afro

    Come on people! dance

     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

    For those who are interested the East Midlands ex-muslim group is happening. I met an ex-muslim lad on Saturday to discuss some things, which went very well. MrHappyMan has been a huge help, I can't underestimate this.

    Dennis Penaluna, President of the Nottingham Secular Society is aware that we're starting a local chapter. We've gotten a mention in the Nottingham Secular Society e-mail which I'll quote below.

    Quote
    An East of England group has started up offering help and support to ex-Muslims. If you want to make contact, please email the Nottingham Secular Society.

    nottinghamsecularsociety@yahoo.com


    Dennis has also said that he may be able to swing it so we get a mention on BBC Radio Nottingham.

    We'll be referred to as a generic "Midlands Ex-Muslim community" or "the Ex-Muslim community in Nottingham/the Midlands".

    MrHappyMan has been instrumental in his support and free with his advice on how to get this up and running, he really is due credit for this. Thank you mate.

    Oh and lastly, Dennis said that a local islamic group are asking for a debate about the wearing of the veil. If anyone is knowledge about this subject and would be interested in debating, contact the Nottingham Secular Society.

    Anyone who may wish to attend can PM me. I should say that for security there will be a vetting, which isn't a big deal. If you're in the area and can spare some time it's basically just an informal chat to make sure you're not one of the minority loonies who think they have a divine right to harasses ex-muslims.

    Hi there guys, I was the one who Quod referred to as meeting on the Saturday- was a very good meeting!

    I can attest to the genuineness and fruitfulness of these meet ups. I attended quite a few in Birmingham, which were really invaluable and great for meeting like minded people, and creating a support network. This has largely been due to the efforts of MrHappyMan, who has been instrumental in ensuring that things happen and everything runs smoothly.

    So please, come along and meet us, it's absolutely fundamental that we start up a group that can act as a support group- and in general an active community which spreads the cause of us apostates!  PM me or either Qoud Smiley

    Thought I'd better just pop my head above the parapet. I've been PM-ing Quod about meeting up so it would be cool to have a good number of people going to this.

    As for the publicity through the Secular Society and the BBC - good work!

    Looks like MrHappyMan is going to ex-muslim heaven for all the kudos he's getting. Masha-allah!  Wink
    Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

    Well it was going to be on the 28th but we're working out a different time at the moment.

    discuss date and time via private messages only.


    Quod Sum Eris. Remeber to not just let anyone who comments on an internet thread to come to the meeting.

    Carefully screen the person both online and in person before letting them attend.

    We already had a problem on this forum with a stalker trying to fake being an ex muslim and try to come to a meetup.

    Safety first!

    Don't worry rebel, Quod has been briefed on vetting already and I'm more than confident that he's capable of carrying out those duties to the best of his abilities Wink

    There is a test I have to tell if someone is ex muslim or not.


    It's called the Booze and pork test.

    Ask the person to explain why they left Islam over a lunch of pork and beer.

    Hey sorry I meant to get back to you on this, just realised it slipped my mind. At the moment we're just still trying to get a few more people interested and work out a date. It's going slower than what I'd hoped for.
