First, I am not an expert on Christianity at all. I still have my Disciple’s Study Bible (NIV) and it gives a lot of explanation (interpretation) to the verses. I think you are taking just 1 line and not paying much attention to what is surrounding it. I hope this helps. This is what...

I am very interested in this as well. The only 2 places I have seen them for sale are: The Canadian Muslim - She has them listed but they have been out of stock since I've been looking for them. http://www.thecanadianmuslim.ca/catalog/item/6596205/6622175.htm Heather's Hijabs - I've...

I seem to have difficulty forgiving. My mom had told me many times that I need to improve my forgiveness skills. I just can't seem to do it I think. Seriously. I can't seem to just let it go. I mean, I think it's gone and it does not matter anymore - life is happy. But the next time I...

Well, he says he was tortured. Do I believe him? Or do I think he is trying to save face? Just because he said it does not make it true. You probably think he is a hero --- i think he is trash. He was given trust and special privileges just to be in this same room with these world...

One of the sisters (the one everyone looks up to at the masjid) talked to me when I was so worried about Ramadhan (my first) and she said something similar, but it was just opposite I think. She said if I break my fast early (this was a big stress I had) that I should still do my prayers...

I SO do not understand how this can be a big deal at all. This is one of the things that I just do not understand about Islaml. I converted to Islam less than a year ago, but a big obstacle I find is the intolerance of the muslims I meet. I talk to some of my muslim friends and they tell...

I think you have to have acceptance for others...even if they do not believe like you. I undestand it is an islamic country, but not everyone is islamic. Just because they eat pork has nothing to do with you -- no need to worry about it. I think just let Allah handle it. :)

I would strongly caution you to be very careful of tryiing to do this alone. I tried and was SO VERY CONFUSED (and still am) about so much of the conflicting information I found online. Some of the people really sound like they know what they're talking about too.... Just be careful. Check...

I think it is a matter of trust. People of the west (me included) are not used to seeing someone walking down the street and not be able to 'see' them. It's somewhat alarming. Especially in such an age where at least I personally find it difficult to trust people. The world is full of...

How do you choose which sources to believe? From what I've seen, if it is anti-west, it is good. Right? I'm sure the West is not as good as what I grew up thinking, but I find it very hard to believe the west is bad like this. And honestly, just because a person is a muslim does not...

Maybe you should change their mind. I hope we can convince the world Islam is not bad. But so much of what they see of muslims is bad. You can blame the media, but they report what they see. It's up to us to prove them wrong.

But it was his wife. She deserved more respect than a text. I can understand that life is very different there...I can understand it must be very hard. And I can understand fighting and dying for what you believe in. But a text?!?!?! Seriously. a text.

:) you've said nothing offensive at all. If we go around trying to make everyone be nice, it will never work. (And I'm talking about the cartoons here.) I'm only 22 and one of the things I have learned in life is that people suck (not all of course, but most). You cannot stop this. You...

didn't mean to exasperate you. This is the type of thing i find so disturbing about Islam. Not only that it happens, but that it's so accepted. Seems that every time I turn around, I find something outlandish and i feel almost repsonsible because i have become a muslim. I feel like now, every...

I don't see how anyone can defend him. It looks like he cared so little for her that he could not even be bothered with doing the right thing...he just sent a text. :(

Though I am glad to see it's boycotting rather than burning buildings down or something violent, i dont see why punush danish companies and government for something newpapers did. Dairy and candy companies had nothing to do with it. And how could the government stop it? Honestly, i think too...

Sorry for any confusion -- your responses about the closet made me giggle. It's not just about a hijab..... Being in the closet is just like hiding, that's all. And I know this needs changed. The more I learn about Islam, the more I know someone will definitely find out. And that's where...

:hijabi:Thank you all very much for your suggestions. I appreciate them.

Hi everyone. I'm a new-ish muslim (I did my shahada about 6 months ago) and I have pretty much kept it secret from most people. I have a fear that if everyone finds out I converted, it would cause problems. I do have a few friends that know, but my family, my work, the people in my...
