A call to everyone here, pls help - Muslimah - 09-04-2003 As Salam Alykom I received this email, the idea is great, try to help: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asalaam Alaikum All .... I have been involved in many theological debates/discussions with various clergy members and ordinary people these past few months which has alerted me to the perception that the world in general has of Islam: a) It is a religion of the people "over there" That any converts have either come (in times past) by the sword / Or (in modern times) due to marrying a Muslim and then converting for the sake of marriage I have a sincere interest in "awakening" the general west insha allah, to understand that Islam is a universal religion that is least of all confined to the Middle East. It is my intention to provide demographics about Islamic communities and the general facts about Islam and then segue into stories of converts and the motivation behind their conversion. I believe that there is a general lack of knowledge about Muslims and more importantly there are no familiar faces associated to what Islam is. Most people incorrectly assume that Islam has spread due to force and coercion. Most people are unware that Islam is the fastest growing religion and the reasons behind this phenomenon. I am requesting that any and all who would like to participate in this effort to please correspond with me at my email address: mzouiten@aol.com. Please know that as you are doing so that you are performing a great service in the name of Islam and I ask that Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) reward your deeds and intentions. Allah Jzak Khairun .. Malak
