Growing up I could not understand some things that I was being taught in Sunday school.
My Mother is a Christian and my Dad is an Atheist. My mother would just tell me the same thing that the Sunday school teacher was saying. My Dad would tell me that I needed to find my own answers and told my Mom that if she was not going to help me by giving me an answer that I could understand instead of telling me the same thing without her to questioning the answer then I was not to go back to Sunday school. He told me that I needed to do my own research and find the truth on my own. This was when I was 10.
At this time I would spend my summers with my grandparents. My Grand father was a Deacon and my Grand Mother was a Sunday school teacher. They would try to guide me but when I would question they too could not give me the answers.
Then when I was 16 I was in a world religion class in high school. There I began to learn about Islam and I could finally have my answers. I was so excited when I went home. But my mother was totally against it. And I was told that none of the garbage was to come into her home. At this time Dad was out of town and did not hear what she was telling me. So I would study in secret.
Less than a year after I graduated from high school I was told that I was to get married or get out of my parents home (by my Mother). I married and my husband was anti anything that was not Christian. So again I studied in secret.
After 5 years of an abusive relationship (with him cheating, hitting and being mentally abusive) I got out. I started college and began to openly study Islam. My Mother tried to set me down and tell me how wrong I am but my Dad has been there beside me still telling me that I needed to find my own way.
I reverted 2 years ago and have never been happier. I learn something new everyday. I am now married to a wonderful Muslim man that treats me with love and respect.

Yeah, I find it VERY inspiring too!!! Peace and blessings be upon all...
For those who falsely believe Islam is about killing, get your facts right. If you're gonna give verses from the Quran, be sure to know the contexts of the verses along with their neighboring verses! There are some uneducated Muslims who justify their killings in the name of Islam; don't be fooled by them.
Anyway... looking forward to the stories! ;)
