revert blues I too found it a lonely experiance in Islam. My impression was that I was not trusted, maybe they thought I was some kind of informer for the cops. It was frustrating only understanding english and walking into a place where most of what I heard was arabic. With the exception...

Dear Martin, Here are my thoughts. I am a new Muslim, but I have been following Middle eastern politics in the news since I was 15 ( now 30 ). What is your religion? Islam, moderate sunni Where do you live? Melbourne, Australia My society is becoming more equal / less equal...

Beautiful words, thank you. Your unworthy Bro - Salman

This isn't far away ! If America does have the balls to send forces into Saudi Arabia, then I bet the first thing they do is .... I can't even type it because the thought is so dreadful. But think of the statue of Saddam & Abu Ghraib - America is very much in tune with what will humiliate...

Asalamu alaykum Brothers & Sisters, I am thinking of burying a time capsule full of Islamic Books for a future generation, perhaps some pious people in the future will find it. I am pessimistic of the immediate future, it seems to me we will very shortly experiance worldwide persecution on...

Thanks for the clarification ! The pro-zionist videos appear to be saying that Hitler & the Mufti were best friends ( it is part of a pro-zionist movie coming out soon I believe ). At the moment I am feeling a lot of anxiety & depression regarding the world situation and I know that I should...

My view on Israel Asalamu alaykum Brothers & Sisters, I've got an unusual story to tell and I hope the moderators will forgive me for being slightly off topic. I've commented before, but I can't believe that there are some Muslims who actually support 'Israel' - unbelievable !!! I was...

There are two ideas which come to mind ... which I am roughly quoting from brothers I've heard in Australia ( it is a huge hot potatoe here right now, due to the media character assasination of our mufti ). (1) In Islam, women are instructed to cover up in some way. It is freedom of choice...

Asalam Alaykum, Dear Brothers & Sisters - It has only been a short period of time since I reverted and I am still in the process of trying to follow what Muhammad(sa alahi wa salam) said. I have heard a lecture ... and I don't want to quote this person, but I get the impression that he...

who cares, no one is listening ... help us Allah !!! :angryred: The sad thing is ... Those of us who believe that 9/11 was a hoax, a set-up - in order to give the americans an excuse to invade and grab the oil ... ... we are a very small minority and the media ignores us. Many issues...

Just saw her in melbourne Just seen her in Melbourne for 1st Australian Muslim conference yesterday. The media really bashed her as soon as she arrived ( Herald Sun - which is notorious for articles negative towards islam & pro-usa/zionist/catholic.) I was very impressed with her talk...

Better to concentrate on getting materially ready and becoming more & more strong as a muslim first. And lets be realistic - a muslim girl is looking for a sincere, strong muslim guy, but she also says :"show me the money !". You'd be a fool to think otherwise. And thats OK - because it is a...

Be nice, but very careful About friendship with hindus, my point of view as an ex-iskcon associate. ( Oh, may Allah forgive me !!!!! ) Make every attempt to show them kindness, generosity, politeness - show them that we mean them no harm & that we are good people. BUT - some of them...

My story I am a convert ( revert ) to Islam. My family told me I could fly up to spend time with them, but my older brother made it a condition I could not practice Islam - must keep it a secret - while I was there. I told him that this was pretty impossible, since we pray 5 times a day...

AAAHHHH !!!!! Muslims of the world, lets start our own businesses and make our own snack foods, cheese ect - so we won't have to worry about all this modern speculation in food production. At the restaurant where I work, we buy cheese from Israel ( yes, I know - I'd rather throw it back...

Welcome Brother, Allahu akbar !!! Tips ( or where I went wrong ). :salah: (1) Be strict in doing the 5 prayers & the other pillars This will be a great source of confidence. (2) Don't get overly absorbed in middle eastern politics, ect - But be deeply absorbed in inspiring islamic...

Don't worry. America will collapse one day, Israel will be alone & a sitting duck - And then it is pay back time ! I think the only jews who then should live in Palestine, are those who were against Zionism from the start. The rest of them - can be forcibly deported to elsewhere. My prayer...

I've had mixed feelings about this. 4 years ago I was a lemming and I believed everything the American President said. Gradually my eyes have opened to the truth. When Malcolm X preached so strongly against the white man - he wasn't kidding, he was really speaking the truth ( and I am...

No more Madonna Thank you all for your wonderful replies. This is a tough one for new western Muslims, but some sincerity is needed. Considering the awful suffering of people in Iraq & Palestine, this is just a tiny sacrifice to make. I think I personally put music in the same catergory...

Prasad Thanks for the new topic ! I've been involved with Vaisnava hindus for some time, and still work for them ( for now ! ). The prayers begin with glorification of the Guru ( who is thought to be on an equal level with 'Krishna' or 'Siva' ect' ) Then is is offered to 'Krishna' or...
