    Obama: 'We tortured some folks'

    That movie about killing Bin Laden showed an Arab guy getting tortured until he gave good intelligence when in reality he only gave false intelligence. Unfortunetly a lot of ignorant Americans think it's OK to torture people unless it's them (white Americans).

    Thread for People Unsure if They Want to Revert

    It happened over a period of time. I read up on Islam for a while. I remember when I first read the Quran. By the time I finished Al-Bakarah(Surah 2) I knew in my heart I was a Muslim.

    Sorry, I don't think I fully understand what you're trying to say, but that's my fault. But if it's leading you in a positive direction that's great. I don't believe in coincidences. It's ALLAH's plan.
