Converted Muslims embrace new faith, celebrate end of Ramadan
Miami Herald ^ | July 27, 2014 | Monica Disare

Keyla Calix, a 25-year-old Honduran living in downtown Miami, didn’t think her friend’s gift of a Quran would lead her to reject her Catholic upbringing.

But two years later, after a serious evaluation of Islam sparked by the holy book, she will head to a mosque Monday morning for Eid al-Fitr, a celebration that marks the end of Ramadan.

“My family thought that Islam was just for Arabs,” Calix said, “but Islam is for everyone, not just for Arabs or Pakistani.”

Miami’s Islamic community will celebrate the end of Islam’s holy month alongside a series of new beginnings, like Calix’s. She is part of a growing segment of Miami’s population converting to Islam, according to Miami’s Islamic leaders.

....”some group should make it their mission to deal with the problem”.....

Not going to happen....the public outcry by liberals would be deafening. It all starts in the home and our families are anything but stable today.

Further....Hispanics and other foreigners coming in do not have our history....so they are especially vulnerable to being misled by anything which “itches there ears”. They do not have discerning minds sufficient to tell the difference between falsehood and truth. Most are followers who come here...and or “activists” for their own agenda’s and causes.....there’s little middleground...if any.

[ Has she had her clitoris lopped-off as yet? ]

I had to wonder about that too, but then I wonder if the Taquiya in converting her is that it won't happen until after she reached the "inner circle" and by then she will be completely broken and buqua-ized...

She will probably have one of these in her future should she decide to take the Haj into Mecca-lecca-hi...

I recall seeing a photo of a broken bottle and a rock in the center of town used for the rite of doing away with the clitoris.

I’m surprised they haven’t found a way to use a biting animal like a badger on a rope to perform the so called “sacred cultural act of love” to paraphrase a liberal and Jeb Bush...

Since 9/11 only woke people up for a short while, before most of them went back to sleep, I wonder just for how long a mushroom cloud will wake them up? The gloves should have come off already, and essentially, they didn't.

While that may be true to a point, maybe one of the reasons, is because the right is busy working 16 hour shifts, to support those on the left, who don't work, because they are busy getting organized.

It’s not for everyone. It’s a stupid violent world-domination ideology cleverly disguised as a religion.

Sadly, this Honduran is not the first Catholic to embrace Satanic worship.

Sickening and repulsive scum propaganda. It is the new thing.

Just another reason to get these illegals the heck outta here.

Can’t wait for their article on the millions of people who rejected the evil of Islam for Christ. I won’t hold my breath...

Interesting religious approach by The Miami Herald on the illegal question. Wonder of this will be “carried” in the New York Times ? If it does that will be the next “sidebar” trend being issued by the pervert press.

I’m sure she’ll be heading to Iraq very soon to embrace that cherished Islamic ritual.

What a fool.

If our current Pres. is still in office he’ll put his gloves on and go golfing.
