İ conguratulate you for your decision.But dont say when you are old you will accept İslam.Can you be sure to live that long?Suppose you know how long you will live you must try to convert İslam one hour ago.Why will you lose
your years?Why dont you be Muslim in age of mother Marry?Are you afraid to cover your head?Dont forget that mother Marry was covered at all.She was so clean
and so honour so she had right to be mother of prophet
Jesus.

In Islam there is a saying that you can sink below the level of Satan or rise above the level of an angel. It is this opportunity that makes me yearn to do good deeds; not just on a "religious" level but in a humanitarian sense. Allah (God) gives us a brain so we can make good decisions. I'll just shut up now and let Islam speak for itself :)
"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood....O People, no prophet or messenger will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I am leaving you with the Book of Allah (the Qurân) and my Sunnah (the life style and the behavioral mode of the Prophet), if you follow them you will never go astray." (Prophet's Last Sermon)
Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Quran S. 2:62)
Islam doesn't have a huge impact on my daily life. I try to be a good person, do good deeds, I don't drik alcohol/eat pork and I dress/act modestly. I still do things that everyone else does. I enjoy nature and pondering the meaning of life. I love the poetry of Rumi and Rabia al Adawiyya. Perhaps you'd like it too? Anyway, I really think that if you are ready you should convert now. You shouldn't let obstacles prevent you from practicing your faith.
"The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, became a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong"
Good luck, God bless, and I'll pray for you.
P.s. Sorry this was sooo long, I hope you liked it :)

Welcome to Islam!
May Allah help you and guide you!
To become a Muslim you must accept with the heart and declare with the tongue the Shahaadah : There is no God, but Allah and Muhammad (mercy and peace of Allah be upon him) is Allah's Prophet and Messenger.
You need to take a complete bath to purify yourself.
Remember that Allah understands ALL languages - so you can pray to him in whatever language you speak. You can learn the Qu'raan and how to pray, etc slowly over time.
If you are sincere, please do not let anyone talk you out of it!
Also, please be careful which websites you log onto for info as some websites are designed to mislead and misinform.
If you convert to Islam and thereafter refuse to carry out any aspect or rule of conduct, then you will be sinful and answerable for your misdeed. Allah is Most Merciful, however, and He can forgive any sin except disbelief.
I suggest that if you want to accept Islam, you should - and Insha-Allah, Allah will guide you to proper conduct. Please don't wait until you are older to accept Islam. What if you die before you declare the Shahaadah? Please convert to Islam as soon as you can.
May Allah envelope you in His light!

The holy book of the Muslim faith is the Qur’ān. I would advise that you begin by reading it to understand the religion. Here are some facts about Muslim marrige that may interest you.
While the Qur’ān permits polygamy, many Muslims have only one wife. Because of the numerous widows that were left after costly battles, the Qur’ān made room for polygamy: “And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess.” (Surah 4:3)
A biography of Muhammad by Ibn-Hishām mentions that Muhammad married a wealthy widow, Khadījah, 15 years his senior. After her death he married many women. When he died he left nine widows.
Another form of marriage in Islām is called mut‛ah. It is defined as “a special contract concluded between a man and a woman through offer and acceptance of marriage for a limited period and with a specified dowry like the contract for permanent marriage.” (Islamuna, by Muṣṭafā al-Rāfi‛ī) The Sunnīs call it a marriage for pleasure, and the Shī‛ah, a marriage to be terminated in a specific period.

Well if you were forced to convert it would be hard, but if you learned the religion from Muslim scholars it would be better. you can find female Muslim scholars who are very passionate about the religion and won't shunned anyone away if they have questions about. For some who converted to Islam, they said that it gave them answers they seek, peace of mind they wanted and that calm feeling that they want before. if you really learn about it, Islam is not about killing people, suicide bombers, degrading women or any other stereotypes that ignorant people say. but don't worry, after you learn about it in a proper channel you can decide if its right for you. Its is easy to convert to a Muslim after you know all the information about it.

well you have to say shahaddah. You can say it by yourself or if you would like to be registered as a muslim with the islamic community you can go to a mosque and have the imam lead you. That helps if you want to move to a muslim country and marry a muslim person.
As far as leaving the faith... it is difficult because of shariah law but it is a matter of interpretations. Certain Islamic countries are more moderate to liberal in their interpretation for example Indonesia. Countries like Iran have a more hardline approach to it and might just take Shariah law seriously. Here in America the muslims are very liberal in their interpretation and just want equality.
You'll find that most muslims in places like Indonesia dont really like the ME muslims. Its not personal they just dont like the hardline interpretation.
For example nowhere in the Quran does it say thata woman has to cover her entire body. like the women that wear all black. again thats just interpretation

First thing you should do is find out how women are treated by Muslim men. Then tell me you want to be a Muslim..... Big mistake!

Don't believe everything you see and hear in the media, they all lie about great Islam. Do it, my sister, and you will find that Islam realy preserve ALL your rights.
Logically, there is no equality between a man and a woman, because they are physically inequal. But there is justice between them, there is duties and right for both. Read and read, and dont listen to peaple who don't believe in god (Allah).
"Allah yobarek feeki"
