I read two books by an athiest somalian author who was muslim until her early twenties. She explained what she and thousands of other women/girls like her went through in somalia, kenya, ethiopia, new holland etc as she grew up. She suffered abuse (physical, mental, verbal) torture, genital mutilation, no food, no shelter, loss of family, disease etc etc...now her and her family like thousands of other muslims suffer like this everyday so I want to know for these people who are putting all their faith in god. Why do they suffer like this? Some people bring bad fortune on to themselves but others are good people, wouldn't they be saved here and now rather than suffering on earth for their whole lives only to go to heaven which only possibly may or may not exist??
I am muslim and believe in god also but dont understand and wish someone could explain it to me. These series of books are true stories from the authors own eyes she is now working for a humanitarian cause to help these ppl!
