Bismillah
As Salam alaikum
I must agree with Anybwile in that in many of the sites that are bashing jews or judaism are also bashing muslims too. It is sad to see so many of these sites but truth is easier to see when it is surrounded by falsehood. People's unease with Islam made me want to know what the true story really was. Going in, I had no intension of converting. Little more than a year before I read the qur'an, I worked out with a friend of mine just about every day. We became quite close. One day we were discussing religious and spiritual beliefs. I was talking about if I were going to choose a religion it would probably be bhudism. My friend cut me off and told me that I was going to be a muslim. I contradicted him but he affirmed his earlier statement. I started getting mad at him because I was like, "How can you tell me what I believe when I am TELLING you what I believe." I remember being so irritated at him for while. Once I started looking though, Islam just kept coming at me no matter where I looked. It always made sense and shown brighter than anything else. I guess I am saying that I can relate to what Anybwile said.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
