Every Ex-Muslim’s story: My dad was Sheikh Al-Azhar, and my uncle fought in Badr. I left Islam because of my superior morality. I was persecuted but barely escaped. “Wow, that’s amazing, do you mind reciting Surah al-Fatiha for us?” Anyway, here’s my book, “Islam is Evil”

Striving to become rich is neither inherently good nor bad. The verdict is very much a function of your intentions. Why do you want to be rich? To do good? Good. To satisfy your arrogance? greed? addictions? Bad. Adjust your intentions or change your goal.
