I'm an American born revert to Islam as of 4 and 1/2 years ago.  Alhamdulillah(all praise be to Allah) that He has guided me to his true religion.  I never knew the true meaning of life until I came to Islam and now I know that Allah(swt) created man for one purpose only, to worship him and him alone without any partners. 

I was born in a Protestant Christian family and went to church pretty regular when I was young.   Later in life I became a born-again Christian.  I never questioned my faith, just thought the religion I was born into had to be the truth.  Then 9-11 happened and I wanted to know about Islam and what Muslims believed.  But I never went into researching it with the idea that it could be true or ever thinking I would become Muslim.  But after a little researching into the beliefs I found myself wanting to learn more.  After two years of studying Islam I couldn't deny the truth, so I became Muslim.  Islam is such a beautiful religion and way of life.  I couldn't even think of not being Muslim, it's in my heart and soul.   Islam is nothing like what the media portrays it to be.   It's respectful of all God's creation, even animals.   Just because some Muslims don't follow Islam correctly shouldn't be a reflection on Islam.  No religion has perfect followers and should never judged by the actions of a few bad apples.  Man has hated each other and killed one another since the beginning of man. Some people choose to forget history though and only see what they want to see.  I'd also like to say that you can't take one verse from the Qur'an and understand the meaning.  Some haters try to justify their agenda by doing just this and they know exactly what their doing.  This is really sad that they have to resort to such nonsense. 

I want to say that Osama Bin Laden is not the spokesperson for ISLAM!   Islam doesn't justify the killing of innocent people.  IN THE QURAN it says, "If one person is killed unjustly it is like all mankind has been killed."   And it is a fact that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Why? Because it is the True path to Allah(God).  Many former Christians(me being one), Jews, Atheists, Scientist, Doctors, Military Veterans(me too), etc. are coming to the religion of the one true God that has been worshipped since the beginning of mankind.  ***And even though this is my belief now, I do respect other faiths. 

Below is a video to understand the truth of Islam.
