LATINOS CONVERT TO ISLAM AT LOS ANGELES MOSQUE

LOS ANGELES, California, USA. Miguel Angel is nervous pacing the room...these are his last moments as a Catholic. He has chosen to convert to Islam. After having prayed alongside the other faithfuls who have gathered at Omar Mosque, Miguel Angel makes his formal declaration of faith, his Shahada...in Arabic, in English and in Spanish under the guidance of his girlfriend, also a convert. For Miguel this is about rediscovering the roots of Spanish culture under the Moors.

@zinakan: actually what's "emberassing" is the fact that you couldn't spell "embarrassing" properly... But judging by your ignorant comment, I'm not surprised.

I congratulate him for renouncing idolatry (catholicism) and embracing the religion of the one God of creation

Research a study done by non-muslims comparing what book is more violent, I will surprise you by saying that they found that the BIBLE is the violent one. We as Muslims believe in the origional Gospel, and not writings by pauls and his turning religion of Jesus (pbuh) into religion about Jesus. I don't need not man savior. God is my savior, inshAllah.

@just1inchrist Before you continue lying, where does in Quran it says conquest by sword is a "good thing", where does it says forced conversion is a "good thing? In fact Quran says 'there is no compulsion in religion." But haters like you with short memory prefer not to know that. Carry on with your ignorance, we'll see where you end up.

@KavkazMuslimUSA Thats very convenient for you to say , while you are right that so called Christians conquered , were they sticking to the true teachings of the bible i think not.That was at a time where conquest was happening everywhere in the world However the Qu'ran teaches conquest as a good thing and even today muslim forced conversion, discrimination and slavery happens throughout the world, even in todays society. May you receive Jesus the true Lord and saviour only through him -peace.

@just1inchrist there is no comparison to how Christians conquered Latin America. How much blood they spilled with the hope to convert and make locals pay to the King in Europe. Out of all people on Earth, Christians should be quiet regarding conquering others. Latin/North americas, Africa, Middle East, Asia (China, India) were conquered by Christians to spread religion and influence. Easily forgotten history, how convenient.

@KavkazMuslimUSA You study the history that the Moors were of Arab and Berber decent. The muslims tried to conquer Spain man and not peacefully either.

@just1inchrist

Study history. There are plenty of Moors who were Muslims in Spain who migrated to latin american countries from persecution of Muslims in Spain by "peaceful" Catholics.

[just1inchrist]

Latinos are not Arabs there is no link . These people are confused , they have been brainwashed from the truth.
