many Americans converting to Islam despite growing islamaphobia

Despite a growing culture of Islamophobia in the United States, around 20,000 Americans convert to Islam every year. Many converts face discrimination in their everyday lives, but say they don't regret their decision. In the nine years since 9/11, these converts have seen bans on Muslim religious clothing and racial profiling against Muslims at airports. They say the mainstream media doesn't help portray a good image of converts and only reports on the small number of extremist radicals.

"Is one who is obedient to Allah, prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord (like one who disbelieves)? Say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not?" It is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allah's Signs and Verses)." [Quran 39:9]

Q. Do muslims believe in Jesus Christ ? A. Believing in Jesus and all other prophets of God is a fundamental part of muslim faith. Muslims believe that Jesus is the son of Virgin Mary, and he had no father. God created Jesus and he is a prophet IE saying he is god. Or the son of god is a major sin in Islam

For those people who think Jihad means holy war: Nope Wrong!! Jihad means struggle

The greatest Jihad is the struggle within.

When it comes to war, It means to fight those who fight against you!!

So Struggle, SELF DEFENSE that's all it mean, WE DON'T KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE

Peace

@NWONoWorldOrderNWO W'ahumid'Allah! Always a pleasure to hear the good news spreading. Your words contain truth, but it's a bit rough around the edges. Allah swt though is the one who saves your soul, and the glory belongs to Allah swt (not Bush, the U.S., or CNN). No matter if you believe the official conspiracy on the topic of 9/11 or not, the ignorance of the matter has brought a wave of enlightenment (Subhan'Allah!), and may the innocent find peace. Insh'Allah

- Peace
