Safia said that in 1997, nearly destitute, she approached a synagogue in North Tampa for help. Officials at the shul wanted to know if she was a member. She was not. They asked her if she was really Jewish. She became disillusioned and for eight years she did not participate in organised religion.
what a shame. Islam never turns ANYONE away. Islam is for everyone, not a certain blood lineage. Even if you have not been practicing the religion.. the door is always open.
