I'm ashamed to be middle eastern?

[Cowardscrossplanet]

I hate being a bisexual middle eastern pagan woman who used to be muslim. It's a curse. I hate that the middle east has islamist (terrorist) groups like isis, the muslim brotherhood, hamas, hezbollah, the taliban, etc. My parents are strict and controlling even though I'm 20. I wish I were a secular westerner. The middle east treats lgbtq people and women like shit. The middle east has the highest rape statistics and guys in this region have double standards. Also "honor" killings are common. I can't even enjoy my culture

Your culture has good women tho, western women behave and act shameful nowadays, I have more respect for middle eastern women than the ones in my own country, at least the crap in your country isn't embarrassing, you can be LGBTQ in your country privately and mind your own business which is totally fine, here people feel the need to make announcements, people get parades and even a whole month because they take dick up the ass or cause they want to cut off their dicks while the veterans that have disabilities or metal health issues, lose their limbs or even their life for fighting for the country only get a day, that shit is embarrassing.

All you said here is true, but you already left islam, what more can you do?
