I'm always open with a listening ear and I must admit I have alot to learn yet and experience.

I listen, because I'm not convinced I'm right. I'm convinced that if I'm right, I can prove it. I'm open-minded about the followers of religions. I try to dispell misconceptions about them, but their religions I can't say for certain...For the most part, I have no anger. It's an emotion I only use when in desperate situations. For the times of status quo, I just keep my cool. Nothing get's to me really. But yes, if I had any hatred, I'd want to dispell it.

Honestly I think it's great that your doing this about the Islam and other religions. But I think these people have already made up their minds... If half of them even have any... anywho... Ya I think you just have to keep working at it even if they aren't willing to hear then it's not your problem and they'll be judged for it just like you'll be judged on how hard you try so keep up the good work!!

I was going to post the same question because the people who are anti-islam never change their minds. but some do...i have had emails from christians saying that i have changed their minds. a lot of people really dont know anything about islam and when they are told, they change their minds. some however dont. one told me it didnt matter what i said because she didn't believe me. so.....i guess it depends. people who hate islam will probably not care whatever you say.
religioustolerance.com-- its a site that is unbiased toward anyone religion. female circumcision is not part of islam, it only occurs in certain countries! part of culture, not religion!!! most people who do it are not even muslims (addressed to greybamby)

What do you mean, that you want to convert people to Islam? And listen to what, alot of quotations you don't even understand yourself, and you carefully pick to serve your personal purposes?
I will never find it acceptable that women can be stoned to death when their husbands have had enough of them, that women have their privates cut off with broken glass and sewn back together (infibulation, around 9.000.000 women are victims of it in Africa alone), and that men will force them to wear a sheet all over them and then go around drooling over any other woman dressed in normal clothing.
Islam is a religion based on woman abuse and I will never find that right. Why woudl I, I'm a woman!!
But I don't hate anyone, if anything I'm aware that Islam hates women and I'm not crazy enough to get near it.

I'm anti-fundamentalist. Show me a person of true faith that follows a religion but does not insist it to be the only right way and I will respect it. Even fundies of my own faith grate my nerves. My faith will not change simply because another asks it of me. No other needs to follow my faith because it won't work for many. If more people could understand this life would be much nicer.

Well I'm not but one of my really good friends Dad is in the army. he raised her to in a way "hate" these people. She used to think they'd all be better off dead nuke them all" However after hearing other peoples points and putting herself in others shoes she was able to come around. She still is in someways anti but has made a great deal of progress and more is only to be made.
so keep trying

I did change my mind I had no hatred until they started bombing schools and killing my people. Then coming here living off the state and preaching in the streets how it our fault and that we should be bombed and murdered.
I will stop hating them when they get the hell out of my country and go back to blowing each other up.

I think everyone is searching for truth and hearing things from other people allows us to analyze their concepts and approaches against our own and this is good and has value
