She must be a democrat....
I am very sorry that your parents did not fill your heart with the love and joy of Jesus Christ. Please remember, that no matter what, he stills loves you and accepts you and just asks for your heart to be open for Him.
You have entered a faith that I hope you study in depth and in detail. The Quran teaches that only Islam is the true religion, and unbelievers have three options: 1) convert to Islam; 2) remain an infidel, and submit to humiliating subordinate status under Islamic (Sharia) law, including paying a hefty poll tax; or 3) wage war with, or be killed by, Muslims.
Keep in mind that in Islam it is “good works” (good vs. bad deeds on the scale of life) that you DO that may get you into heaven. Somehow you must win Allah’s favor. If you fall just .0001% short on the scale, you will be cast down into Hell.
But the problem is you never know when you have done enough. It is like being a salesperson who must meet a quota but never being told what that quota is. You can never be sure you have actually done enough (except dying in Jihad fighting infidels – but I don’t know if that is for you though).
Worse yet, the Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that we can never do enough. We will always fall short of God’s holy and perfect standard.
But be thankful – for there is hope. Jesus has DONE something for us that we could have never done for ourselves. Christ lived the perfect life that we could never live and He willingly died on the Cross to pay the penalty we owed for the wrongs we have done.
To become a Christian (a follower of Christ) means to humbly receive God’s gift of forgiveness and commit to His following and His leadership. When we do that, He adopts us into his family and begins to change us from the inside out.
Also consider - If you ever want to leave Islam, it will be considered an act of apostasy, which carries the death sentence in much of the Islamic world.

PS – I spent a year in Afghanistan; living, eating, sleeping, talking, praying, fighting and dying with Muslims.
A true classic. She converted not to the real Islam, but to a phantom Islam that exists only in her mind.
To be fair, some Sufi groups are similar to the Islam she describes. But most Muslims, and all the extremists, consider these Sufis to be apostates, and therefore to be killed in preference to even unbelievers.
She must be a democrat....
All her studies...sheesh. Useless lefty professors and confused didactics. Didn't she know that she wasn't supposed to take all that nonsense too seriously?
The idiocy of human beings never ceases to amaze me. What did she think was going to happen. . .that she was going to become a Muslim and set all those burka- wearing women free?
There's something wrong with her studies, then. Islam is antithetical to Western Civilisation. "The West" is derived from Judaic and Christian faith, and Graeco-Roman government and social organization.
Islam is a radical rejection of them.
Four years ago, while studying French, Italian and women’s studies as an undergraduate at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville,
That right there is as far into The Madness as the rational part of my brain is willing to let me go.
Great response.
HAHAHA. Jokes on you lady. Also it’s a one way street. The penalty for apostasy is death. Have a nice day.
“I was thrilled to discover a belief system that was not at odds with scientific knowledge.”
Which its adherents have to steal from other cultures, since the religion is detrimental to any novel or scientific ideas about the world.
If that's what she got out of her studies then she needs to demand a refund.
That was beautiful.
Thank you, and the Lord bless you.
This is your Islam right here.

Derisively,
ishabibble
p.s. You are an idiot.
How can this possibly be a surprise to the feminist? A couple things that I admire about Islam are their family orientation, and their roles for men and women. While they take it to an unacceptable extreme, they have clear mutually supportive roles for the genders, much like we once had forty years ago, when most mothers were stay at home moms. How has our culture improved since feminists took over?
I am far from an expert in Islam, but the things I mentioned are common knowledge, especially the supportive role of women.
The sooner people wake up to the ralization that “islam” is a wacko death cult the better.
It has gone on too long unchecked and we are paying from it.
Thanks again for your heroic service and your posts on this forum.
You remind me that not all is lost. That there is still hope.
Thank you
Ms Robinson:
Sorry to hear that you are becoming disenchanted by your religious choice, but I have a few observations.
First, you may want to request a refund of your tuition money. Obviously, the university failed to properly train your critical thinking skills. In the course of your search for religious salvation, did you not see anything of concern to you in the manner in which Islam relegates women to second class status? The false prophet, himself, related that women were mentally deficient, and were not to be educated or allowed to participate in acts of governance.
Second, you note that Islam provides a tolerance for scientific thought. You apparently think that is not available in contemporary Christian beliefs. God granted man freewill, and with it the power of critical thinking, which is the wellspring of scientific thought. Despite the current ongoing argument between evoluion and intelligent design theories, what scientific issues are precluded by Christianity?
Third, you note that music is haram in the view of Islam. Again, that is not a new and revolutionary concept. It’s been elemental to Islam for hundreds of years. So, might we assume you didn’t do your homework before making the leap back to the seventh century?
Islam is not a religion. Islam is political and cultural system of thought and deed, much like a cult. It is ruled by blind theocrats who profess the perfection of their prophet and their playbook, the quran, despite the historical record of corruption, barbarism, murder and mayhem.
Islam continues to profess a seventh century mindset, which has gone on for over 1400 years.
It’s truly sad that anyone of reasonable intelligence, especially with a feminist perspective, could accept this cult as the way and the truth.
Good luck, and may God bless you and keep you.
Also, she reminds me of the guy who went to a great deal of trouble to find a good Kosher deli and then complained because there was no pork on the menu.
Women's Studies? That's her problem right there!
Upon reading more...
Seems like she converted to islam without knowing anything about it. Also I’m curious about her husband... might his name be Mo? Or Ali?
Stupid, stupid woman!
She converted to islam for the poetry and “pluralism?”
Pluralism as in polygamy?
Pluralism as in freedom of worship?
Pluralism as in freedom to question and to doubt?
