Yeah, sisters in general is a toss up-do not know who 2 trust and men are big kids for the most part....
As you know already - we were created to Worship Allah alone....Everything else will be up and down.... Our religion is perfect but humanity is screwed-up.....
Never try to change what has been given to us by Allah and his Profits.... If you feel that Islam is wrong then try to study other Beliefs and this should increase your Iman (faith) .... I come from a christian background and I am glad that this is out of my heart and mind... It only takes me a short visit to my family to see how blind they are from the truth....
After about 7 years of being Muslim my Faith has gotten weak and I started doing sins.... but I never stop believing and hoping that Allah would forgive me......
I am sure that you will have some good experiences in the States and also look at teaching Arabic as a part time job. Ladies there travel all around the world to study Arabic so I am sure you will have many tudents....
Take care and tell me what you think

Nice letter of support. Too bad she doesn't like her family. That's sad. I don't see why religion should have anything to do with that though. It looks like it's even the cause, like it "opened her eyes" and now she sees them differently. Just sad.
He didn't say he stopped loving his family.
He was referring to the fact that Islam for him was the truth and he wished his family realized it. It's like when you see/think someone you care for being wrong about something and unable to see what you know to be the right thing to do. You feel sorry for them because you love them. No?
Yes I see your point. Yet, I could never feel close to someone like that though. I'm just too allergic to the concept of thinking someone is "wrong" for not adhering to the same religion as someone, or someone thinking they "know the truth" and everyone disagreeing is "wrong". This is the main obstacle between them and open minded people. It prevents all sorts of relationships. I feel sorry for him feeling sorry for his own family, and not being able to embrace diversity.

I understand where you're coming form. But at the same time I know how he feels and why.
He thinks he knows the truth just like a Christian, a Jew, a Buddhist, or an atheist thinks they know the truth.
It's the same as most other beliefs in life. And because he has his own proof that Islam is the truth he would love to see his family taste the sweetness of what he has experienced.
It is that simple and has nothing to do with being right and everyone else being wrong. It has nothing to do with feeling above others because a truely good perosn never feels so.
I understand. Thanks for sharing this message, because it's interesting. But did you choose to share it because it's interesting or because you think the same way?
I don't follow any religion, yet I feel happy, not sad, for those who find happiness in any of them, just like I felt happy, when I was into religion, that some people found happiness in their life without religion. To each their own balance. The important thing is to live a good life and be good to others. Not judgemental or patronizing.
I see that a lot of religious people tend to become judgemental of others though, instead of minding their own religion.
They think others are "blind to the truth", because they themselves "know the truth".
Humanity is not more screwed-up than the religions it creates. No religion is perfect, and everybody can see their inconsistencies, inside and out. Many non-religious humans are not "screwed up", and many religious ones are. Actually anyone who think "only they see the truth" and judge others (especially their own family) without questioning themselves, have got to be a little bit screwed up...
I decided to share it because I found it interesting. I don't hundred per cent agree with him, although having been a Muslim all my life, I understand where he's coming from. He just cares for his family (you might not agree with the way he expressed this)
I stopped judging people long time ago.
I have to agree with you that most religious people tend to judge those of their own religion, let alone of other religions.
I also understand your point about religions not being a guarantee against people becoming messed up. But this has nothing to do with religions being perfect or not. A Muslim believes his religion is perfect so does a Christian or a Jew, for instance. It's not for me to say if any of the three religions have inconsistencies. That would require me to study all three religions almost thoroughly.
What I think?
Well, I don't still know what I think.
I've decided to admit that the search is not going to be easy and that some people spend all their lives looking for the thing that makes them happy.
I've also decided to take it easy on myself and appreciate the fact that I've decided to question and not take my religion for granted.
