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.

Nothing here to show/prove she has read/studied the Koran.
Let the wench go over to the ME and be a wife to one of her “good muslim” men. She’ll change her tune real quick.
I’ve said this before on other posts, demonic spirits are territorial and extremely difficult to uproot once they become established,
America was attacked on 9/11 and soon after the people elected a sympathetic sunni worshiper of that same demonic beast and began to openly embrace and seek out additional knowledge of it, allowing it greater influence here, this is how malevolent evil spirits work behind the scenes, principalities and powers, this is how they increase their authority over entire peoples and nations, its counter-intuitive to how we would suppose it to be,
God told Joshua to destroy certain cities/villages after he came into the land to claim ownership, today those same locations where he did not complete Gods directive still cause Israel trouble and strife, Gaza and the Golan Heights,
And U.S. prisons becoming Islam battleground-(% of Muslims in US prisons higher than general population)
Research shows,
According to research carried out by the respected Pakistani-born American Muslim Dr. Ilyas Ba-Yunus (1932 - 2007), 75% of New Muslim Converts in the US leave Islam within a few years. Listen to the clip detailing this research (listen on Youtube)
World Muslim population doubling, report projects By Richard Allen Greene, CNN
Twenty years ago, the world had about 1.1 billion Muslims. Twenty years from now, it will have about twice as many - and they'll represent more than a quarter of all people on earth, according to a new study released Thursday.
That's a rise from less than 20 percent in 1990.
Pakistan will overtake Indonesia as home of the largest number of Muslims, as its population pushes over 256 million, the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life projects.
The number of Muslims in the United States will more than double, to 6.2 million, it anticipates.
Afghanistan's population will nearly double, to about 50.5 million, making it home to the ninth largest Muslim population in the world.
Israel will become nearly a quarter Muslim. The Palestinian territories have one of the highest growth rates in the world.
Fractious Nigeria, where Christian-Muslim violence has left thousands dead in the past decade, will become a Muslim-majority country by 2030, the Pew Forum projects.
And two western European countries - France and Belgium - will become more than 10 percent Muslim. Sweden will hover just below that level, at 9.9 percent.
Iran, on the other hand, will see very slow growth. Iranian women have among the fewest children of anyone in the Muslim world. They use birth control at exactly the same rate as American women, 73 percent.
Conversion will play relatively little part in the increase, the report anticipates. It says little data is available on conversion, but what little there is suggests Islam loses as many adherents via conversion as it gains.
Pakistan's rapid growth - adding an estimated 70 million people in 20 years - could create "a potentially lethal cocktail," said Ghaffar Hussain of the Quilliam Foundation, which calls itself and anti-extremism think tank and does work in Pakistan.
"Pakistan is an unstable country, there are literally hundreds of jihadist groups," he said.
Despite the rapid growth of Islam, Christianity seems set to remain the biggest religion in the world for the next 20 years. There are currently more than 2 billion Christians - 30 to 35 percent of the global population - making it very unlikely that there will be fewer than 2.2 billion Christians in 2030. - http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/27/world-muslim-population-doubling-report-projects/?hpt=C1&date=2011-04-16
Still rebelling against mommy and daddy..
Excellent data. Thanks for all the work.
Though she’s obviously not very bright, I suspect her biggest obstacle is that she really doesn’t want to know. She’s content with her ignorane and stupidity. Proud of it even.
Boy, she’s taking her rape fantasy pretty far.
Converted 2 mos after 9/11...right. No marred thought process here.
B-I-N-G-O
I believe I PM’d you all the article about marriage rates plummeting; this is also addressed.
Strip away the Judeo-Christian fundamentals and that vacuum is filled by the death cult. Pretty simple to figure out - basic physics at work.
Congrats Western Civilization - you’ve committed suicide.
Islam feeds off institutionalized or compromised faith and or the lack of a transcendent coherent morality and structure, both of which the West examples. Glorying in “Christian freedom” to be like the world in liberal attitudes, from revealing clothing to worldly music to amusement-park attractions, only fosters a superficial spirituality and provides ammunition for cults and Islam to justify themselves by.
The devil knows the Bible and uses God’s principles in building his tower of Babel.
Then you didn’t use quotes for an exact phrase search. Searches without quotes have little relevance. For example, if you search for ... I hate Obama ... without quotes, then you will get results from pages where someone wrote “I love Obama and I hate Bush” because all of the search terms are still present, just not in the order that you entered them.
They’re from Austria, they were raised Catholic!!!
The traditional two op-sex parent families here are the immigrants from India, China, Korea.
The American women, blacks, Hispanics even whites seem to be gravitating to the single mom parent model family, or not having kids at all, the last especially in the case of whites.
What a stupid woman. I have no pity for her at all.
No arguments from me. You see where the twin towers fell they have approved and built a satanic building called a muslin mosque.
Really?
Where is the near universal condemnation of the radical brand of Islam from the ROP majority of Islam?
The sound you hear, if any, is akin to crickets.
” The American women, blacks, Hispanics even whites seem to be gravitating to the single mom parent model family, or not having kids at all, the last especially in the case of whites. “
Sounds like suicide to me.
Those get-ups the females wear... forget the male gaze, they are assuming a non-existent attractiveness for themselves anyway. More likely the trash bag sack serves to block out truth and knowledge... an excuse to be dumb, ignorant, and fully dependent on "men". That's the true essence of the left's feminism (a complete lie, IOW).
After all, if the lefty feminists in the West were truly independent and free spirits, why do they make endless demands for the government sugar daddy to give them stuff? "NAGs" is right!
