If I Want To Convert To Islam?
vanity | 7/3/2008 | A Navy Vet

Posted on 07/04/2008 2:28:41 AM PDT by A Navy Vet

I have a legitimate question to my American Muslim brothers:

As an agnostic, how would I be able to convert to Islam? What is the procedure??

Do I have to renounce my childhood Christian background? What Islamic rites must I recognize? What ceremonial process need I go through to give my soul to Allah and his Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon Him)?

As I read the Koran and the Hadiths, I am starting to get a better picture of Mohammed's (Peace be upon him) message.

I am now desirious of leaning more, but don't know where to start.

After reading much on the Internet, including ancient scribes in the Koran, I am learning that Islam just may be the avenue to peace on Earth and eternal life.

I am seriously fed up with the direction our country is heading.

I NEED and WANT to believe that there is a higher power that will bring my human brothers together and fight for a rightous moral concept that only Allah can provide.

Seriously, help me to understand. I am at a lost and looking towards Islam to provide the moral answers I need in my life. Christianity and Judaism and agnosticism have not provide the answers.

I live in Orange County, CA. Can you guide me to a local Mosque so I can hear and experience the wonderful teachings of Mohammed (Peace be upon him)? Too much rum has made me lost and I want something more. My wife is willing, also.

Evidently the first step in moving over to the dark side is.... Learning to use a phone book.

Are you prepared to shave your body hair from knees to navel, front and back? Will your wife be willing to assist with this? If not, this load of manure masquerading as a religion may not be for you.

This is only ONE of the many details personal behavior that Allah demands.

“... give my soul to Allah and his Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon Him)?”

Islam is strictly monotheistic, so you don’t give your soul to Mohammed (Pig Dung Be Upon him), just Allah (AKA Satan.)

While this may be a path to eternal life, I doubt you’ll enjoy the eternity; Too hot.

Good luck with your decision.

Barack Obama and the Muslim call to prayer

On this day in 2007, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.” In an interview with The New York Times, Senator Obama recited, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent,” the opening lines of this prayer:

“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... “

... If your serious then do us all a favor and just kill yourself.

that's what I was thinking, but then he wouldn't qualify for the seventytwo raisins...

Scholars Scrutinize the Koran's Origin A Promise of Moist Virgins or Dried Fruit?.LINK.

...parts of Islam's holy book are derived from pre-existing Christian Aramaic texts that were misinterpreted by later Islamic scholars who prepared the editions of the Koran commonly read today.

So, for example, the virgins who are supposedly awaiting good Islamic martyrs as their reward in paradise are in reality "white raisins" of crystal clarity rather than fair maidens...

Islam . . . .

Eze 7:11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.

I completely agree with that point — Muhammed as the prophet is written about in Revelations

“I am at a lost” “You sure are FRiend.”

And he’s desirious, too.

“As an agnostic, how would I be able to convert to Islam? What is the procedure?? “

Most thinking organisms would have to start with a lobotomy.

He needs help in fighting his mental illness. He won’t find it where he’s looking. What he will find there is hatred, violence and anger in an ideology whose avowed purpose is to convert the world to its hatred, violence and anger.
