My hope is that every Muslim who follows your blog not only reads this article, but also passes it on. inshAllah it can teach people to be more considerate and compassionate towards new Muslims, being new to a religion leaves us (in general terms) more vunerable and in some cases easier to manipulate. I know about WHY ISLAM and a few years ago ordered pamphlets from them, it's a great organization, would be nice if it were here in Canada too (hint hint :) )<BR/>thanks so much for posting these topics!!strugglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658002404657358989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921857966435446722.post-52027754237093242532009-02-25T20:53:00.000-06:002009-02-25T20:53:00.000-06:00Masha'Allah Sis, good post! I remember when I firs...Masha'Allah Sis, good post!<BR/> <BR/>I remember when I first converted and worked up enough courage to go to classes at the masjid--they were supposed to be classes only for convert women, but there was sister there (a born muslim) who attended our class. She would interject comments about proper hijab and how haraam certain things were...but her clothes were totally see-through (like you knew what style and colour bra she was wearing) and her dupatta/hijab kept falling down every three seconds. I remember thinking, "What a hypocrite!" <BR/><BR/>So to add to your excellent post--Muslims don't act like hypocrites when teaching new muslims.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550683582619788665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921857966435446722.post-24133085644824630542009-02-25T20:44:00.000-06:002009-02-25T20:44:00.000-06:00Can I make a tiny suggestion.

Maybe adding a space between paragraphs would help me not lose my spot so often. Totally worth it though, and I think it's easier to read on your actual page, I read it on google reader so it was quite wide and the paragraphs were hard to find.Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769515811889621243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921857966435446722.post-37969920513446966602009-02-25T20:42:00.000-06:002009-02-25T20:42:00.000-06:00Great post!

With time (I've been learning about Islam for a while), my stand developped and things changed. It did take time and I think anyone who embraces a faith goes though that too. So you're totally right.<BR/><BR/>About name change, I would hate for someone to come up to me with that! It is such a small issue, if it can even be considered an issue!Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769515811889621243noreply@blogger.com
