That's kind of frightening, I am from his state of Texas. He does not speak for us all, I can guarantee you he doesn't speak for me.

Salaam, no in no way did you offend me, it's actually REALLY difficult to offend me. I tend to have a dry sense of humour that can come off wrong, if I upset you, you have my most heart felt apology.

Thank you, I didn't see any other posts about this. And that's why you're a mod and I'm not :)

I corrected someone about Islam I was talking with a friend and the topic of religion came up; she just wondered out loud why our belief is called "muhammadism" I politely pointed out it wasn't. That was an incorrect term that was used. We do not worship Muhammad, (SWT), we worship only...

This boy last year fed a live rabbit to an alligator at a zoo, he was charged with animal cruelity. And his latest foray into the legal system was yanking off a woman's Hijab in Wales. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/6970761.stm I'm not sure if he needs someone to reach out to him or...

No silly a good lunch and a decent cup of coffee that's not from starbucks :SMILY346:

Salaam to all. Thanks for the words of encouragement. It helped A LOT to know I'm not the only one that kind of feels like an island in the middle of the ocean. I do come here for encouragement. I didn't know that Michigan had such a huge populous of Muslim there. Hmm it's worth a...

Hello everyone. I am still here, still working though the world of what it means to be Muslim. I live in central Texas, not exactly a huge population of Muslims. Does anyone else feel kind of separated from our brother and sisters? Thanks so much in advance. Please excuse the double post...

I watched it. I am no scholar, but I do think it's an important work, I do give them credit that they never showed the likeness of the Prophet Muhammad, (Peace be upon him).

Hello everyone, If anyone is around and would like to talk about anything and everything I'm finding my self on my day off with all of my chores for the day done. my aol IM is Your brother in Islam Matthew

I DID IT!!!!! Good Morning my brothers and sister in Islam :) Friday Morning I made Shahadah in my room. I love this feeling of peace that I'm enjoying. Monday I'm going to try to head to the local masajid. Thank you all for your help and encouragement. I know this is just the 1st step...

Blueglazer, Thank you for those links, they didn't dissuade me, in fact they just confirmed everything I've already believed. I admit I had some trepidation before I clicked on those, but when I did I, Allāhu Akbar, I felt my heart leap with confirmation. I'm going to take some time to...

Thanks I'm just wishing I could begin now and have someone here to share it with me, well waiting is :) Thank you so much my future brothers and sister Salaam, Matthew

I have realized it's time. I need to make Shahadah, I only wish the Masjid was open right now. I won't have any time tomorrow or Allah SWT, give me strength, Friday. So tomorrow I'm going to call the Masjid tomorrow and see if I can speak to someone in Monday. Wish me luck Salaam, Matthew

Now that one has me worried more than anything, I am worried if I spend too much time thinking about this, the time Allah, SWT has given me will be over. Thanks for that thought. I'm still young enough I don't think about not waking up in the morning.

So I've been reading the Quran, and really spending a lot of time thinking about this major event in my life. A few times I've had the shahadah in front of me to recite it, but can't yet. Even if I knew nothing else about Islam, I agree with everything in the shahadah, I am just not feeling...

Salam all my brothers and sisters. Thanks so much to all the wonderful information you've given me. I'm wondering how in the work-a-day world that I live in, I don't have time for a decent lunch at work much less being able to pray 3 times a day at work, and I believe that I wouldn't be...

Thanks that was something I was kind of wondering about, I have a lot of pride in my name, being selected to carry the name of a man of that time. Thanks for the warm welcome, I feel very safe in this forum and able to ask really tough questions. Salam, Matthew

Thank you I normally am very good about using search functions, I should have realized that I would have been the 1st to get some ink done and then think about the broader repercussions Salam, Matthew

I have not converted to Islam, (yet but I feel it's a matter of time). I have 2 tattoo's nothing bad, but I do understand that they are haram. Would it be a greater mutilation of the flesh to have them removed? Thoughts? Salam, Matthew
