Women Converted to Islam

[abso]

A recent study put the number of Britons embracing Islam at 100,000 with two-thirds of them women. Sarah Joseph speaks to five converts about their journey to Islam.

Given the perception of Islam as a strange and foreign faith, I am intrigued by how many times converts tell me, “It was what I already believed in”, “It answered the questions that had always bothered me”, “It wasn’t anything new.” Whilst the change in faith may lead to some lifestyle shifts, the essence of the faith seems almost familiar.

Having made a conscious choice to be Muslim the new converts often struggle with those closest to them in order to articulate their decision. The constant questions of loved ones, who are often suffering their own sense of confusion and bereavement, can lead to conflict; but it can also facilitate an increased strength of conviction, and a deeper, more profound faith.

The convert sits between two worlds, both reconciled within their consciousness. They are thus able to act as a bridge if they can be true to the journey of where they have come from, and where they going.

Interesting, as Islam grows, so do terror attacks by cockroaches within Islam.

Sure, that's what I said, dumbass! But it still wouldn't surprise me that they were recruited in some way. Don't get testy just because your religion is responsible for a disgusting amount of terror attacks and deaths in just the last 10 years.

Got any figures for the rate of growth of atheism?

although in my personal opinion i don't consider denying the existence of GOD as a religion, but anyway i don't have any statistics about the growth of atheism, i tried to search for one, but there is too much conflicting data, some say its declining and some say its growing and doubling specially in US.

yeah, sure...

Myriam Francois Cerrah who is studying for Phd is recruiting her friends from university to join terrorist networks.

Denise Horsley, the dance teacher in elementary school is recruiting young girls to join terrorist networks.

Henrietta Szovati, the marriage counsellor is recruiting couples to join terrorist networks.

Nabila Fowles-Gutierrez, the musician is recruiting her fans to join terrorist networks.

you jim said before that you have good muslims friends, haven't they recruited you to their own terrorist network yet ?, please let me know when they do, i might think about joining it with you, or its easier if i join the terrorist network club at my college.

Apparently my text didnt get inserted into this post with the following pics. These are muslim women mutilated by muslim (religion of peace?) for offenses such as talking to a Christian boy, being seen in public without the face covering veil, etc. etc.
NONE of them did anything that would even remotely be considered a crime in America, like stealing, murder, assualt, or even something we frown on in America but isnt illegal, like adultry.

So, ABSO, got any response? You think it is good that a religion treat women like this?
