Jazaakallah Khair for your comment. I was waiting for someone to point that out. the main stress of the sentence is on the second part: "... but if it's right we shouldn't go halfway." If we TRULY and wholeheartedly believe, then no matter what escape routes come our way, we will still CHOOSE to follow the Path of Islam, rather than being pushed down it.
As born Muslim, I always felt that I was being pushed onto the Path of Islam. I know that many other born Muslims go through a similar ordeal. It is a natural human instinct not to want something that is being force fed to you, even if it is something really sweet. I guess I am trying to say that we have a choice, and insha'Allah if there is even a single ray of belief somewhere deep in our hearts, then insha'Allah Allah will ALWAYS guide us to choose to follow His Path, and more importantly, to stick to it and to be proud of Islam, and insha'Allah to be happy with our choice.
I hope I am making sense. May Allah forgive me if I have said anything wrong. I do not mean to offend anyone.
