I am a Muslim, but I wasn't always. I converted to Islam in November 2001, two months after 9/11.
I was 21 and living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was a bad time to be a Muslim. But after four years of studying, poking and prodding at world religions and their adherents, I decided to take the plunge.
I am the product of a Creole Catholic and an Irish atheist. I grew up Catholic, then was agnostic, now I'm Muslim.
My journey to Islam began when I was about 15 years old in Mass and had questions about my faith. The answers from teachers and clergymen -- don't worry your pretty little head about it -- didn't satisfy me.
So I did what any red-blooded American would do: the opposite. I worried about it. For many years. I questioned the nature of religion, man and the universe.
After questioning everything I was taught to be true and digging through rhetoric, history and dogma, I found out about this strange thing called Islam. I learned that Islam is neither a culture nor a cult, nor could it be represented by one part of the world. I came to realize Islam is a world religion that teaches tolerance, justice and honor and promotes patience, modesty and balance.

Oy Vey! “Stupid is as stupid does”....she won’t live long once she is involved because they do not do well with feminist outspoken women.
She’s an O’Bola voter too.
She’s too cowardly to live where her fake religion comes from. Probably wouldn’t enjoy being stoned to death for looking at a man.
[ True, many “born-into” muslims wind up being “Cultural Muslims.” It’s the converts that are really scary. ]
In a LOT of Cases the “Moderate Muslims” that supposedly exist are actually “Cultural Muslims, that are comparable to any member of a religion that are technically “Lapsed” “.
They may go to the mosque now and then, but only for the big “holidays” and only because they fear reprisal from the religious police if they DON’T show up and make an appearence every now and then...
“Lapsed Muslims” ARE the so called “Moderate Muslims” that the west has been searching for so long, but most are no help because they live in perpetual fear of the Zealots that would inflict upon them punishment far worse that the “Spanish Inquisition” should their own Status of being Lapsed is discovered among their community...
And will be a dead attention groveler before it is over.
I was referring to her 'feminist' past.
“She’s only sympathetic towards Islam for the very same reason she was/is a “feminist” - rebellion to God’s Law.”
I think you hit the nail on the head.
Yup. She’s been deceived her whole life, and logic clearly has no part in her thinking........
I dont see how any “western” Christian could “question their religion”, and end up a Muslim... an Athiest, I can understand, but a Muslim? Makes me think there is something wrong with these people in the first place.
Sorry, misunderstood you. My fault. to use a Catholic phrase, “mea culpa”.

You fool!
Here's a couple of recent converts....they are pregnant and want to come home.....sadly it is being reported one of them is dead.....probably from to close a contact with the religion of peace!!!
Dang. That's some weapons-grade stupidity.
[ I came to realize Islam is a world religion that teaches tolerance, justice and honor and promotes patience, modesty and balance.
Glad she tossed that knee-slapper in there for comic relief....... ]
I would like to hear her explain just how Jizra Tax, Dhimitude, Sexual backwardness, Sharia Law, and Ashura are in way containing anything of the above described “traits” this Einstein has listed above...
It’s actually entirely consistent.
Feminism is a rebellion to the roles that God created in mankind, and an expression of the curse in Genesis (your desire will be for the man’s role).
Islam is a satanic religion that he set up in opposition to Christianity.
So, if your primary focus is an anti-Christian one,
then becoming a “feminist muslim” makes sense.
I’m curious where you got that statistic. Not at all surprised, but curious.
So much stupidity in such a tiny person.
“75% of the converts to Islam leave it after 2 yrs.”
Please, tell us more. `Fastest growing religion’, huh?
IMO, female converts to Islam are already certifiable.
Stunningly naive. Wonder if she is even aware of this: http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/4551.htm
