For the record: I am married, but not to some girl I met over the internet. When I was living in South Lake Tahoe, CA, there was no mosque in the city, I would have to drive almost two hours to be a part of the community. I wanted to marry a Muslim woman. So to find a Muslim woman I had no choice but through long distance (internet). I traveled to Oman (Gulf of Arabia) to meet a girl I had been talking to over the internet. We got engaged, but ultimately it would take years for me to save up enough money to show her parents I could take care of her (the Omani dollar is 3 times stronger than our dollar). So we never got married.

I mean, I knew people that were Muslims and would drink, smoke weed, pornicated and sin like crazy, but they still didn't eat pork. I would be like, you can eat pussy being Muslim but can't eat pork. exactly.btw, didn't Muhammad & Jesus both sip on wine??infinite, I suggest U shut up, ure a square, not a muslim, Ure trying way too hard, if U were a muslim, you'd tell em NOT to exceed in these activities, I dunno why U even named wine, my mom is a nurse and says a glass of wine a night is great for you. She encourages everybody to do it, it gives the cells up there a work out. But ofcourse, too much isn't a good thing, getting shit faced is not a positive thing to do, everyone knows that. Alot of us here are grown ass muthafucaz mane, we kno, WE KNOW !!! but some people, including myself, choose not to care, so what if I get shit faced for my homegurl's birthday party or something? that's living life, next year we'll have all these memories to share with each other, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Ure just a square that tries way too hard to fit in somewhere, not a muslim. Dats been your life story, fitting in. DO YOU.

But who are you to tell people how to live there lives.That is your arrogance and pride talking. The Qu'ran states that there should be a people who enjoin the right and forbid what is wrong. Alcohol and porn are wrong, and I will continue to speak out against these devices of the Shatan. I won't force you to become Muslim. But the prophet said that the Muslim should be like the one who sells perfume, you may not buy any perfume from him, but you will absorb some of the scent when you are around him.As I said above, it is natural for people to see others shortcomings and not see their own. At my job, the day shift blames everything on the night shift, the evening shift blames everything on the day shift, and the night shift blames everything on the evening shift. But the companions of the Prophet Muhammad had righteous character, and they were always thankful when others pointed out their shortcomings. As I said above, if the cloth resisted the needle, no sewing would get done.
And Rod, I suggest you read the Qu'ran to find out the true definition of a Muslim. Why don't you study the way of life of the Prophet Muhammad, (saws) and his companions (sahaba) and find out what real Muslims act like. Those Persian's and Arab's you hang out with on the street who want nothing more than to be able to pick up on white women and "fit in" with American culture, do not represent Islam as defined by the Qu'ran, and the life of the Prophet and his companions.

All the righteous companions of the Prophet Muhammad (saws) who made Islam the preferred religion of 1/5's of the Earth's people, they were all "converts" to Islam. Many of them were "idol worshippers" until Muhammad began revealing to them the truth from Allah and brought them back to their true nature (Islam, submission to the will of the Creator). These were all "converts" that established Islam in Arabia.As for Rod... you go on talking about your "americanized" version of whatever you imagined Islam to be, and I'll continue striving to practice it in the way it has been described in the Noble Qu'ran and in the authentic hadith of the Prophet and his companions.
