I feel so badly whenever I hear that reverts feel lonely and unwelcomed, wallahi If a revert came forward to me and asked if they could stay with me I would welcome them with open arms. I feel that I have been deprived of good Muslim friends, because who you surround yourself with shapes who you are. Sometimes I see other Muslims on the bus, and if they look like they're new to Islaam or they're just a Muslim, I say 'Salaama Alaykum' and I try and make small talk.

Woodrow, I disagree with your sentiments on reverts being cold and uncaring. I find that, on average reverts tend to be nicer than born-Muslims that I know. Whenever I give my salaams to someone I assume is a revert, I'm not scared of them being judgmental towards me. As opposed to how I feel whenever I'm around my own.

If anyone ever feels lonely, I'm here for them. Once you get a load of me, you'll probably beg for me to stop talking I have noticed though, that it's harder for sisters to approach other sisters because we have this sort of 'cult mentality' and it's scary trying to making small talk when you feel like people are talking down on you. I notice it so much in the sister's side, and I try and engage in conversation with every sister that I see.
