Ok, so everyone knows that Islam is a global religion. And Islam exists in many differet parts and countries of the world.. So, especially since we are in Ramadan, i wanted to get to know my muslim brothers and sister better.
Some questions for all of you:
-- Where are you and your family from (country)?
-- Are you a convert?
-- What is your race / ethnicity?
-- Anything else you want to share with your Muslim Brothers or sisters....?
ABOUT ME :
1) I am from the US, but my family is originally from India
2) No, i am not a convert?
3) Indian -- but it doesn't have to be that way. You don't have to be Caucasian or African American to live in the US..
4) uhh.... I <3 Islam =]
All answers will be appreciated & star if you want... =]

1) I was born and raised here in the USA
2) I was born Muslim, so no, I'm not a convert
3) Turkish--that would technically be Asian but most Turks look white or European, and most also follow European-like lifestyles. Because I am white no one can tell I am Muslim unless I told them or made it obvious...
4) I am a twin..I will be turning 16 in October...there are hardly any Muslims in my school and many people are ignorant about Islam and have the totally wrong idea of it--I guess the bias media has really gotten to them. The town of the school I go to is a very "white" town. I always fast and am fasting now..
Also, according to Action's Fury definition, I experience Cyber Jihad every day by answering questions on say Yahoo! Answers and clear up misconceptions people have about Islam. I am only 16 going on 16 but I have a lot of knowledge packed in my head and I totally understand that the media has been undermining Islam especially since 9/11, spreading false messages and claiming the wrong people to be proper representatives of Islam--it really isn't fair, and Zionists own the media. Israel and Palestine are in constant war--why would a Zionist media which dictates what everyone watches in the west and beyond, which includes North America, tell the real truth about Islam? It only reports bad things and such and lies about the religion and even the people, and exaggerates so much. I make such points while answering ignorant questions but I elaborate much more on these issues. You have probably read something from me :)
Nice to meet you, sis!
By the way, I saw your "ad" on the other question :) That's what brought me here ;)

1. US but my family is from Pakistan.
2. No.
3. South Asian.
4. We seriously need to focus on getting ourselves more educated and stop focusing only on going to the madrassa. This is true especially in 3rd world Muslim countries.
