As Salam Alykom brother Mutawakkil
So u r a revert Mash a Allah. Welcome home brother
And by the way u don't have to be ashamed of anything. I live in Egypt a Muslim country with a Muslim majority and a Christian minority. I work near the US embassy. Since the war of Iraq, they mobilized security forces and blocked streets, I am not allowed to go through the street to access my work, I have to show my ID, they search my purse. This is Egyptian gov. I really don't like to talk like this. But Mutawakkil, we totally know the difference between people and gov. When I visit the US or work with Americans I just follow the Quran and sunnah in regard to dealing with non Muslims. We must observe these rules very closely, understand their feelings and threats of being different from us. Again, we never judge people by their government action. Didn't see the demostrations during the war?
Again it is nice to have u with us Mutawakkil
May Allah keep us and u fixed on the correct path ameen
