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.

I don’t doubt that she heard that frequently, and probably still does. Sometimes grownups says that to unteachable children, rather than waste time on them that could be invested in other kids.
Dear Doofus,
May your beatings be merciful and full of joy.
“Feminist”? Is that how you spell “Fekking Idiot” in arabic?
Subtitle: I was nutso, and I finally went completely insane.
A character trait ready-made for islam.
Taquia-alert!
The propaganda is thick enough to fashion a mud hut or three. The burkas are sure working well as reality-blockers.
The delusion is complete with this dimwit.
I'm thinking she's more of a Hate-Whitey, Nation of islam type.
If she really wanted to find out there is virtually a bottomless pit of information available free of charge. Of course you do have to know how to read and write.
“Islam taught that men and women were equal in the eyes of God. Islam made the woman’s consent to marriage mandatory and gave women the opportunity to inherit, own property, run businesses and participate in government.”
Where in the Muslim world today are any of the above practiced without controversy, pushback from men or the religious authorities (including “honor” killings), and practiced in the same way these things are practiced in Western democracies?
Remember the two Bosnian/Austrian broads, pregnant (in admittedly, the most romantic way short of Romeo & Juliet) are begging their parents to take them home?! As Stanley Kowalski says: HA! HA!
Suck it up, ladies.
Tolerance -- Convert, Pay Up or Die
Justice & Honor -- Female Honor Killings are all the rave.
Patience -- islam will rule the world one day
Modesty & Balance -- Become invisible in public, no males friends
Hey Theresa!
Your religion is fake! Muhammad (pork be upon him) did not exist!

You’re a self-loathing idiot and you’ve found the perfect home.
Interesting, when you go to Google News, and type in (exact phrase):
“Converted to Islam” - you get 10,600 results ...and if you add: -Corbin to the search (to remove links to this story) then you still get 10,400, so almost all the news links are about other conversions.
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&newwindow=1&biw=1600&bih=770&tbm=nws&q=%22converted+to+islam%22&oq=%22converted+to+islam%22&gs_l=serp.3...12633.17918.0.18141.21.20.1.0.0.0.150.2229.0j18.18.0....0...1c.1.56.serp..16.5.663.1PGwP3n_nYk
But when you type in:
“Converted to Christianity”, you get 225 results
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&newwindow=1&biw=1600&bih=770&tbm=nws&q=%22converted+to+christianity%22&oq=%22converted+to+christianity%22&gs_l=serp.3...58054.61934.0.62464.19.17.1.0.0.4.220.1933.0j12j2.14.0....0...1c.1.56.serp..18.1.181.CE2X-FdbO6c
So I guess it’s not news when someone converts to the religion that the media loathe.
They are not converts, they are from Bosnia originally.
“I used to be a human, then my brain was eaten by zombies.”
It also seems odd that this would even be a story, as she doesn’t appear to be anyone famous. So why is the spiritual floundering and oat-sowing of a random young lady even news?
But on another topic (similar to my last post on this thread), if you do a Google Video search (exact quote) for:
“Celebrities who converted to Islam” you get 6,250 results.
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&newwindow=1&biw=1600&bih=734&tbm=vid&q=%22celebrities+who+converted+to+islam%22&oq=%22celebrities+who+converted+to+Islam%22&gs_l=serp.3...1858.4827.0.5108.2.2.0.0.0.0.102.204.0j2.2.0....0...1c.1.56.serp..2.0.0.eqIWMvn0Tg8
But if you do a search for:
“Celebrities who converted to Christianity” - you get O results.

Not surprising!
“Mea culpa” is Latin, not Roman Catholic.
I think someone from FR should read all the replies and then re-write her column....LOL!!!
She’s brain dead...
Picky, picky. I was using it as a literary device.
