This week on “Louder With Crowder” we were gifted with a chilling interview, in which a woman shares her journey as she leaves Islam. We were joined by “Q”. An anonymous woman who is currently in the process of converting from Islam to Christianity, and is actively trying to separate from her Muslim husband. She has been forced into semi-hiding, and to protect her and her children we have done our best to keep her anonymous. She spoke from personal experience, but made some shocking claims regarding Islam, Islamic marriage, common occurrence in abuse of women and terrorism. Some of them sounded unbelievable… so we did our research. Turns out her claims are well verified and all within the realm of not only possibility, but likelihood. Watch the video, and check out the sources below.

HEAR THE FULL SHOW BELOW:
Steven, I had a roommate (American girl) back in the 1990’s who had lived with a Muslim guy in the 1980’s in Massachusetts. She told me stories of how he swept her off her feet and treated her like a princess. Then after they moved in together he became extremely abusive and controlling. Hardly letting her have friends outside the Muslim community there. She never converted, but he still controlled who she could be friends with and didn’t want her to spend time with her own family. She new other American women in the same boat. I remember her telling me that her boyfriend Nadir wanted to take her to Saudi Arabia, but that one of the other American women converts went with her husband for a ‘vacation’ to Saudi Arabia and never returned. My friend was afraid to go. She was afraid of Nadir. She ran away from home one day while he was at work and moved to CA, The story of Q rings very true to me because it sounds a lot like my friend’s experience way back THEN! I am not in touch with her anymore, but am still friend with her ex-husband (American guy). ~Rachel
Mr. Crowder. Like a number of strains of Christianity and a few other religions, people are lured by a potential spouse to convert, in order to marry the bait-spouse.
Several years ago I had a friend who accepted a date from a muslim man. I warned her to be very careful because at the time, there were a lot of stories of women who married muslim men, traveled back to the husband’s homeland and suddenly the woman’s passport was confiscated and her husband became abusive. She went on the date and afterward told me how incredibly nice he was, how he treated her like a princess (just like the interview). Well not long after that she broke it off with him. He stalked her for a week, showing up to her apartment and waiting in the parking lot to see where and when she left, and he didn’t try to hide. He faded away after that, thank God, but I’ve never forgotten it and it is chilling to hear of so many similar stories.
