I was posting on another muslim posting foum amd I posted on a topic about women who are being abused.
I was answered with someone telling me they didn't believe I was a mulim.
I thought to post my topic here and see what is the problem that someone thinks I am not a muslim???
am a newbie here. This being my first post. However, I am female and this topic touches my heart.
The following is the post:
I am going to share a thought with the ones that find it so difficult to believe the stories are not made up.
I hope that I do not break any posting rules. I do not wish to do that.
When I was first introduced to Islam and I met many muslims, my first thoughts of the people were how good they were. In my mind there was no better people in the world. And believe me many people from my christian family and friends tried their utmost to convince me otherwise.
I have been a muslim for 26 years now and I am just now realizing that their are some people in Islam who are not good. Though maybe they are fewer in number. Still they exist. However, I still feel pain to admit this. But, I finally have.
I am constantly ask by my christian family and friends to look at the people in christianity who may be good. That has been just as difficult on me. I know they exist because Quran has stated they do.
In my older age, and after being a muslim for so long I have concluded that if Muslims (though it is difficult) admit that people in Islam are sometimes not true muslims though they are raised muslims and if muslims would acknowledge that some people among the christians (though that be equally as difficult) are good people, the world could somehow find peace.
I do not know how this can be accomplished. But, I feel their is a need.
I am far from any large muslim communities. However, if their is anyway I can help any Muslim sister who is being abused by her husband please someone send me a private message and inshallah I will help.
