I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section.
I thought I just quickly introduce myself. Even though I joined a while ago....
I am a young Muslim lady who has come here, not only to share Islam with others, but to also get an appreciation for other beliefs and views. Today, I find that many misconceptions of Islam exist, and I am here to clear up any confusion and answer any questions. I know many have a negative image of Islam, due to many things...Muslims misrepresenting Islam...Media....
At the end of the day, my goal isn't to convert anyone. We are all here with our different views & opinions, and in the end, we all ought to give and deserve respect.
So feel free to ask me anything and I will do the same for you all
Look forward to seeing you all around here

Re: An Introduction....
Post #2I for one am very happy to have you here. In general, the Muslims that have come here are the ones that are into trying to convert, and are cut of the same cloth as the more fundamentalist Christians. They were ones that unfortunately reinforced the negative stereotype of Islam by much of the west.Ms_Maryam wrote:I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section.

“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

Welcome. 
You did post in the correct place.
It is unfortunate that many of the Muslims who have passed through here have only reinforced many the stereotypes of Islam (other than the terrorist one).

Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
