hi. first of all, congratulations to barack hussein obama. I am very excited for our new president. About me, I do not belong to any religion. My whole life, even as a child, I have always seeked for the truth. I have read the bible and have not found much. So, I am looking to my muslim brothers and sisters for advice. I am very sick of how muslims are treated in my country. As an american, I do apologize. We are not all the same here. I have never read the quran, but as a seeker of truth I have found a lot of faith just by talking with muslims. I don't want to hate on anyone, but I see it how I see it. I do firmly believe in reincarnation by the way. Anywayz, I hope that you will welcome me to your forum. peace to all
