hello all

MrShine · **hello all -** 02-18-2007

Hello, my name is Nick, I am 21, and am currently in college in Wisconsin. I enjoy life, and have a lot of things going for me. One thing that I am confused about however is my religion. I was raised christian, but have been falling away from it in the past few years. I joined a christian forum to see if I could find a way to "connect" again, but that hasn't been working too well.

One thing that I did notice from the forums is how negativly Islam is viewed by many, and that really struck a chord with me. I do not think that Islam is any more violent or radical than other major religions out there, but some of those on this board seem to think differently.

I'll be honest: At this point in time I am not looking to convert to any religion, Islam included. I am mostly interested in hearing more about what you guys have to say about the religion of Islam, instead of getting a less-informed source talking about it.

Thank you, good to be here!
