Extended Family

by shahid on February 28, 2005

My extended family in Pakistan - uncles, aunts, cousins etc. have found out that I left the sect called Ahmadiyya and reverted to mainstream Islam. I doubt they’re very happy about it. I didn’t consult them. Apparently, they’ve found my blog Cough Remedy that I’ve used to document my concerns and feelings about what I thought was a cult. It will mean nothing to those who aren’t aware of the Indian subconteintal esoterica at the fringes of Islam.

I’m not a raving fundamentalist loon. I’m not seeking to justify my behaviour to any human either. Beyond being subject to the rule of law, which I strive to follow, my religion and belief is between me and my Maker. If you have an issue with the way I run my life, you have my email address. I will probably tell you to fuck off though.

I’ve not talked about why I left Ahmadiyya on this blog. I will at some point. It’s not important right now.

I’m leaving my current flat imminently, so don’t expect me to be too active for a while. Write to me if you ‘re still interested!
