Terrorist convert?
Date: 04 Jun 2008, 5:47 pm / Mood: blank
The other day I called my father which i Havent seen in over a year. He asked me how i was and stuff. i recently told my sister i hav converted ,she was cool about it and had told my father. After the phone call he call me up like 2 seconds after screaming why ave you turned converted to a muslim, have you become a terrorist. i had to put the phone down cos it mad me so angry and upset. it made me angry that an well educated man my own father could come out with such a silly thought that people only convert to Islam to become terrorists. Thats the sort of thinking that would come froma common loser with no understanding of anything. Now the next step is to tell my mum. she was born muslim but was raised as a christian when her muslim mother died. im to scared if she will take the news in the same way as my dad.

A terrorist eh...Im sorry to hear that brother. Just have patience, they dont understand yet...and you were once in their shoes( as a non muslim) so have compassion and just show them what islam is about through your actions

Just tell her and give her time to adjust. Parents can be surprising. I completely understand though, I grew up in a strict Cathoilc military family, and I converted after 9/11, so you can just imagine. Hang in there, time has a funny way of changing things.. As I told my mom, hey, Im not out there having sex for money, Im not doing drugs or drinking, I am highly educated, I have a great job etc., and, thanks to her, I also have a mind of my own, molded from her. I was like hey, you did a decent job; thanks!

i hope that shell be understandin inshaallah...just be strong
