Muslimah
I find the fanatics in my own faith. I am an American convert but am still me. I still have some new age attitudes. Many American converts are not so mellow. I would often rather be around a "born Muslim" than many of these Westerners who converted. A lot of them traded fundamentalist Christianity, such as Pentecostalism, for Islam. Any woman who does not cover completely is sinful and they are so for Shari'a Law which I am not!
The joke is how most of these American women only converted when they married their 'green card' husband. Usually it is very young women in their 20's and did this to possibly shock their families or divorcees who married a man their age in their early 40's but they married much younger men only to go on and have a baby with them. It did not matter if their kids from their American exes were grown.
One got on me for not being married to a Muslim man. She shut up and then went on to cry for weeks when I pointed out Younness was about 15+ years younger than her and how I, at least, have a husband who is a peer rather than a young boy toy. Was it cruel to say that? Yes. It did shut her up. She, like many religious fanatics, need to get their own 'houses' in order before looking at me. At least, my husband works and pays for his things rather than like Younness at Target where he is supported by his wife, who has money from her ex-husband.
By the way, I am very pro-choice. Many American converts to Islam are as bad as what you are dealing with. I find many Middle Eastern women calmer and more pro-choice.

You've been a "Muslimah" for what, 3 or 4 months now? Before that it was the Hare Krishnas. Some "convert", changing religions more often than you change your underwear. :crz

Wow, that was rude and uncalled for. I don't think Muslimah's alleged changing of religions is really anyone's business.

This is why I don't like religion. I hate when people attack others for their beliefs. I personally believe that anyone can be whatever they want so long as they're not hurting anyone else. I also highly recommend the movie Religulous (starring Bill Maher). It was hilarious.

Religulous is a hilarious, profound and disturbing look at religion.
Religion, I just don't get it. I find no comfort in myths and no reason to live my life by fictional books. I find conversion attempts to be highly disrespectful. And I see no reason why the 16% of the population that does not believe in a god, has less say in how the world treats them than the 1.3% who make up the NRA, or 3% who identify as gay....or any other minority that falls well below the numbers of the godless.

I can see a storm coming...
No storms. I do not have time for bull$#it. If the person has issue with me, there is the PM feature. I will not fight it out here. I posted my one post to that person and that is it. I have a life of my own than to fight with someone online.

Everyone here knows I'm a Christian. Whatever you choose to believe or not believe in is your own business. However, I do find it ironic that (since most here are not Christians), you purposefully leave out the letter 'o' in God (Muslamah), or how you [also] disrespect Christian beliefs by typing the word God backwards or calling it a 'myth'. That is the same disrespect you're referring to regarding the disrespect of the belief, or non-belief, of your choice. It's not a one-way street. I've never read here where someone wrote: "Pa-an", or "Ju-ism" or "Mu-lim". You act as though if you type the whole word out, or properly, you're somehow going to wake up the next day and be a Christian!
I just want to point out one thing: *I* have never EVER disrespected ANY belief or non-belief of ANYONE here, calling them stupid or dumb, and I don't intend to start. Yet I have to constantly hear most on this forum incessantly bashing and degrading a religion I believe in. But I don't complain about it because my beliefs are solid and unequivocal. I guess that's why it doesn't bother me.
