Bismillah,
Ronniv, I am sorry you feel like that. I have truly taken time to try to answer your questions. I have not just rushed through them, I have given my answers some thought before writing, so I feel a bit wrongly 'accused' here. I don't think I have given you that many links, but I must say if you want a broader perspective, these link are great. Yes it takes time to go through them, but it also depends on how serious you are. If you just want to scratch the surface, it may be to 'deep' with the links, but on the other hand - what will you truly learn if you only scratch?
<i>''My REAL questions continue to be ignored while minute topics deter the entire conversation.''</i>
This is like a slap in the face, since I have put effort into my answers, I always try to do that. Answering and questioning is very serious to me, I know I have Someone that is watching what I do. This is not 'gameboy' or 'playstation' for me, this is a religious responsibility. Then one do not play or ignore, as you wrote. It is impossible.
Ronniv, you come with statements that I cannot understand. I don't feel that you are a child, you have told us you are a married woman, and then you have learnt from life much already. There is not such thing as 'looking down' or looking at non-Muslims as knowing less. But I could say that you are ignorant of some of Islam and Islam's teachings, but so am I. I am also learning. None of us has said we know everything, since that would be like arrogance, and that is not withing the Muslims sphere. But if there is a willingness to overcome this ignorance, then it is on a learning basis.
Only you can take the steps from here, like we all have to do. You have to decide what direction your future lies in. And take it from there. And if you are serious in knowing more about Islam, we are here to help you to the best of our ability. You know where to find us. Remember after hard times, there will always come a relief and we have learnt something from what we have went through, inshaAllah.
Regards
