As a new Muslim there's lots i still have to read, lots i still enjoy reading and my search for knowledge always pulls me to read articles from Muslims, Non Muslims, Christians athiests. The physical feeling of warmth i felt, i know cannot be from anything else but god. However i'm reading this faithfreedom.org with an open fresh mind of a new Muslim, and there's much here that disturbs. The strongest pull for me toward Islam was the science, and although this website hasn't shattered this for me 100%, it has opened up further avenues of research for me to disprove what is written. Claiming Aristotle knew of some of the science before it was presented to god, Childbirth etc. There's also a heap of verses that are apparently taken from the Quran that seem so blatant they must be untrue, i won't mention them here because i don't wish to offend. Please understand i am a brand new Muslim and i'm facisnated by everything i read, however i would really appreciate some of you could help me out with pieces i've read like this...
"I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-Fire were women....[because] they are ungrateful to their husbands and they are deficient in intelligence. " (The Prophet Muhammad) Sahih Bukhari V 2, B 24, N 541
and some of the other writings here...

May i also add, so far no one has been able to explain our coming to be, our existance, and no one has been able to prove evoloution at this website. And this could be seen to me as another one of the many tests that i must face as a new Muslim, powerful non belivers, as well as a sudden PC virus, losing my password to this forum, having problems with my girlfriend over this and a strong feeling of loneliness outside of this forum. Also it's a sign of the strength of character and beleif at this forum that such website links like these haven't been erased.
I couldn't have asked for a more warm welcome when i came here lost and alone. And i hope you'll all extend that warmth by helping me understand what i'm reading at this website. Either PM me or post here if you have the time. Your brother in Islam Anyabwile
