this word "revert"should be banned inschallah
It is not very wise( no matter what excuse you may find)even if unwillingly or out of"necessity "to use terms that divide Muslims using again and again and again another sort of criteria to stand out and be different in a world where publicity attracts and labels are so easy to attribute....as if there wasn`t enough Muslims doing that,"am shii,am sufi am,oh no am a moderate!!am hanbali,hanafi, salafi,wahabi,shaffi oh no am a non practising "Muslim"!!oh am a revert!or a play station muslim nigerian,hindou,...etc!!and how far are we willing to go to sacrifice that god given singularity of each individual!please stop blaming every single Muslim that doesn`t belong to your nation for what may have happened to you ,quite that,please for your own good as you may be unjust towards yourself!men and women are cheap everywhere in a broader sense ready to sell their souls to anything the price doesn`t matter,unless they are Muslims!it is in the eyes of Allah swt that we have bound ourselves to look for honor ,reward,and evaluation!
Is it not enough that Allah swt has told us that the best thing we could say is that we are Muslims?

Assalam,Well first of all am sure the brother did not mean that,am afraid you are being a little to defensive by putting words in his mouth...and second am really having a hard time to understand this revert thing, what is this we reverts ,we born you white man we red man thing please no! sometimes it seems as if we were in some western movie or something!,this use of demarcation has become a sickness in our ummah!:astag:When I was single, 4 yrs ago, I would never ever concidered marrying a man without permanent papers in my country. I was a single mother with two children, and I had no interest in being used for a visa. Why? Because how can I trust a man I meet online? Maybe he would not be good for my children? Maybe he would treat them bad, or something. I had no guarantee for that.
Even a man living here, but illegal or without permanent papers, it could be bad, for my kids, and me. What IF he leave me when the three years are done?
And why is marriage a dream in your country, but easy outside? Because we reverts unfortunately sell ourselves too cheap. Mahr of 1 dollar? Is that right?

ps.I believe the word"reverts"should be banned from this site however it is merely a suggestion!we could use terms like found Islam or or accepted islam,or submitted to allah swt ...that way people won`t find a way of calling themselves otherwise behind the shield of the English or any other language. i found This to be a beautiful thread please brothers and sisters check it:"and the desert Arabs say "we believe"say(oh Muhammad!)faith has not yet entered you hearts until you say we have submitted our will to Allah ...(holy Quran 49:14)
