My name's Megan, I'm a college student living in Tempe, Arizona in the US.
I was raised as a Christan, and I even tried Wicca for a while in high school. But I was always put off by the elitism in Christianity, and Wicca didn't suit me either because it lacked any type of formality and only left me searching for more.
Recently, I fell on hard times and two Muslim women who live in my apartment community (whom I had never met) offered to help me out. I spoke with them a little, and they completely changed my view on Islam. I was touched by the tolerance and equality of Islam, those two things are very important to me, and I've never found them to such a great extent in any other faith. So I began reading an english translation of the Quran online and watching a few videos. But I'd really like to have a few people to talk to if I have questions.
I am not currently a Muslim, but I have seriously considered converting/reverting to Islam. I feel like I should become more familiar with the faith though, and not just dive in head first. But maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, I joined here to hopefully meet some people who can share their wisdom and knowledge with me.
