Jazak Allah Khairan Sister.
It is hard to watch someone attack Islam in such a manner. I acted out of anger and not reason. This is something I must not do. Please feel free my Brothers and Sisters to tell me if I say or do the wrong things. I can handle the truth. We all must except this challenge to become better Muslims.
I feel for amai, I get the same kind of reaction from people on my choice to revert to Islam. Some of my co-workers do not even say hello to me anymore since I have told them I am a Muslim. I make sure I am very kind and respectful of them. Now these people I have been kind to realize I am still the same person, and now talk to me and even ask me questions. I was scared of people and not Allah, and this helped me to ask for time to offer salat at work. Alhumduliallah, I can pray at work and have much more peace inside my heart. They will even let me take my last break when I want to as Fajr becomes later in the morning.
May Allah guide us all to the straight path. Ameen.
