When did you accept Al-Islam & why?
Here's my deal:
I was raised by the Nation of Islam ( my mother couln't keep us all in one place), but born Catholic. I was drawn to Islam, but couldn't get ready for N.O.I.'s racial stance.
Upon coming home, I started back to Church , became an altar boy, and was SERIOUSLY considering a life as a Fransiscan Monk!
Then, I began going to a protestant church, where I began to see the hypocrisy Jesus (S.A.W.) talking about: the "floor show", 15 churches on the same block, all chasin' the same nickel from the same poor folk who couldn't even afford to give it in the 1st place, the preacher who's "gettin paid" offa Jesus, the molestations, the jelousy and greed, not to mention the hierachy (I've got more than you, so I sit up front).
Yet & still I eventually became an evangelist, but when I began to bring in the bums & ho's, The church put an abrupt stop to that.
In 1990, my mom took sick with lymphoma, so I looked for herbs for her at a shop. I ran into a Muslim who was more than helpful. He accepted a ride from me with his kid in tow. I asked him was he concerned in that he didm't know me, and he told me "Ma' sha'allah" (Allah has deemed it so...).
I remembered the comfort of praying directly to God without man's interference. It was so peaceful.
1 month before my mom died, I made my declaration. No one from any of the churches she attended gave any support, except one of the Senior female members who"saw" to my father while my mom was sick. (She's now his wife. How Christian...)
When you go to Friday prayer, you truly understand that Allah(S.W.T. ) is no respector of person. You will see a homeles person next to a banker. A plumber next to a doctor. But when the call to prayer is heard, ALL bow down equally before Allah.
That is why I changed my religion...

nice speech, and welcome 2 Islam. and yeah, the NOI is a little off compared to true Islam. Elijah Muhammad changed some of the stuff, like when he said he wuz a prophet. Muhammad is the last prophet of Islam. and wut u said is right. I hope it'll work out 4 u. I wuz born Muslim, and I still am 2day. I've read most of the quran (translations and Arabic) and everything fits in and makes sense. I'm never gonna change my religion.
I'm not a terrorist, but customs thinks I am cuz my 1st, middle, and last names are all 'on the list' I went 2 the airport a couple of years ago with my parents and bros, and we all got about 5 random searches. Now when we go 2 Florida, we drive cuz it's faster.

Wow, life has been very difficult for you, my friend. I'm so pleased that these awful experiences did not put you off your search. You persisted and found what is fulfilling for you. If you live by the Five Pillars and resist the fundamentalists, you should be very happy. True Islam teaches the brotherhood of man. You will have many friends.

Islamic terrorism is inspired by Islamic teachings. We can never get rid of Islamic terrorism unless we defeat the ideology behind it and that is Islam itself. Islam induces hate backed by lies. Muhammad was a terrorist by his own admission. All Muslims, to the extent that they follow him, are terrorists. Those Muslims who are not terrorists are ignorant of Islam and are not good Muslims. Fortunately they are the majority. We need to rescue them. If you are a good human being, you are not a Muslim. Read this site and if you can't prove me wrong, which you certainly can't, leave this deceitful cult of hate and terror and join mankind. Don't be part of the Umma. Umma is fascism. It is divisive. It induces the hatred of others. Be part of humanity instead. Your ignorance is not an excuse. Pull your head out of the sand and face the truth, like we did.

I'm sorry - but I do not understand. Because of some moral issues in PEOPLE (individuals) who "claim" Christianity you assumed the religion is false? The Roman Catholic Church is false by the way and is only Christian in name ONLY not in truth.
Let me get this straight - you left the true religion because the failure of others? And that made you unable to live a moral life because of them? So you changed your religion, turned away from Jesus (having turned away from the plow) to follow a false prophet? This made your life moral?
Because of Hypocrites you turned away. Hypocrites exist in every religion, some more than others. The Apostle Paul warned that this was on the rise - so in effect you turned from Jesus because of others who failed to meet your expectations.
As far as Muslims go - YES! THERE ARE GOOD MUSLIMS! And as you already know - THERE ARE GOOD SECULAR PEOPLE WHO PUT "SOME" CHRISTIANS TO SHAME!
Being good does not cut it. I warn you now before it is too late, the Antichrist rises from Islam. Just as Jesus the True Anointed One came from the seed of Isaac, so the Antichrist will come through the seed of Ishmael in a satanic lying wonder, mimicking Christ in some respects.
THE PROPHET DANIEL was shown by the Angel Gabriel an Abominable Temple that would sit on a wing of Solomon's Temple - and from that abomination comes "One who causes desolations" (the Antichrist). DANIEL 9:27 (and Jesus warned as well - so it was not Antiochus Epiphanes who fulfilled that prophesy.., because that happened before Christ. Read Mark 13:14-30
LOOK! What temple do you see sitting on a wing of the Temple Mount? Look! Upon this pinnacle comes one who causes Desolations and you MUST come out of this - and ignore the Hypocrites who do not follow Jesus but their own lusts and desires of the flesh.
You must decide NOW - Worship God in spirit and in Truth THROUGH JESUS (Jesus is not God his own father by the way, but IS the Son of God) or worship a false diety that only promises fulfillment of the desires of the flesh (sex with virgins).
The that denies the Son, denies the Father. Islam is antichrist and THE Antichrist comes from her.
As Jesus said, He that puts his hand to the plow and turns back, is not fit for the Kingdom of God. This is a message for YOU and is not one of Hate but CONCERN!
If Christian brothers do not walk the walk they need Patterns of Christ Jesus life just as the Apostle Paul! WHAT IF PAUL because of all the hypocracy he saw told Jesus to take a hike, and follow some Pagan religion? He did not! He stayed the course even though others even let him down and left him in the field when things got rough.
Once the Antichrist comes in the guise of the Muslim's Mahdi and you embrace this man - you have embraced the Son of Satan. This lying evil son of perdition will be coming VERY SOON and will decieve many WITH the help of the Roman Catholic Pope.
You have been warned - I love you and Jesus loves you but right now, you are on very thin ice with God.

Wear hijab. Hijab is an obligation upon all Muslim women when they get their first period. Don't be afraid of wearing hijab in front of your family. I'm also a revert and I had to hide my religion from my mother and step father. Even now my parents, my family, still doesn't approve of my husband (he's Saudi) or my religion. They want me to leave Islam and get a divorce.
