I just finished reading "In My Father's Country: An Afghan Woman Defies Her Fate" by Saima Wahab. It's a wonderful book, though it seems that she's always been a fairly non-religious person, it was still interesting how she went back from Portland, OR to Afghanistan to be a civilian translator for the US Military, speaking Pashtun and being very familiar with tribal customs of the Pashtun people.
I wonder if you have had a chance to read this book, as it is very enlightening of the culture in many Muslim countries, besides just the Pashtun's of Afghanistan.

In the same type of book, I'm currently reading Infidel which is a very interesting real story of a country Muslim girl from Somalia who became a member of parliament in Holland and currently lives in the Washington DC area with a bodyguard. She is, of course, an atheist now, but she was an extremely devout Muslim when she was young.

Amal, I think you are amazing.
I can not begin to imagine being a female Muslim and living with the oppression you must face every day. Talk about courage!
You are truly one of the privileged few in your situation who has strived to know the truth and succeeded.
Congratulations, and a heartfelt welcome to atheism and to this forum.
