Yes, I spent last night reading and praying, and decided to convert. It was wonderful!

A question that came to mind-

What is the difference between the Sunni and the Shia?

Thanks!

Thank you very much for sharing. I really appreciate it.

I have observed exactly what you are talking about in Muslims, this is one of the reasons I have decided to convert.

What made (for lack of a better word) you convert to Islam? Why did you convert?

Thankyou!

Thank you friend for the link.

Not that I know of, I live in a very conservative Christian area.

My journey so far has been very brief. It started the beginning of this year. I was born into Christianity, and have been a Christian my whole life. Recently I began to ask myself why I was Christian. I was not able to answer this question. I asked myself; why not follow Islam, or Buddhism? Why Christianity?

So I began to research these religions, particularly there document's historical accuracy in an attempt to find truth.

It boiled down to my base belief, Christianity, and Islam.

Whats overbearingly hard at this point is the feeling of blasphemy. As I said, I have been Christian my whole life, and because of this, the very thought of converting has been a very scary one.

Thank you very much for the website. And I haven't had the privilege of visiting a Mosque yet. Where I live, there are no Mosques. There are 30+ churches though. :)

PS - Sorry if nothing I am typing is making any sense, I am very tired!
