Assalamu'Alaykum Turning Muslim in Texas . People reverting to Islam in Texas.
The documentary explores the lives of several Texan families. Muslim and Non Muslim, and their views about Islam and life in the West.
George W Bush may be backed by Christian fundamentalists but in his home state of Texas, Islam is the latest big draw. The Bible belt is transferring its allegiance to the Quran because, for many erstwhile Christians, believe it or not, the church is too liberal.
Eric was a Baptist preacher before he became a Muslim 14 years ago. Now he prays five times a day and even in the middle of watching a football game. His wife, Karen, also a convert, is covered from head to toe in the traditional Muslim burka. Islam, says Eric, is everything I wanted Christianity to be. His mother has found it hard to come to terms with her sons conversion and believes he will return to the Christian faith: Then he will be a dynamic preacher. Eric says: "Maybe some day she will embrace Islam."
subhanallah! This documentary brought tears to my eyes...allah is soooooo merciful and kind to us by giving us the wealth of islam. But we don't realize how lucky we are and take it for granted. When you see reverts speaking, you begin to realize how illiterate we are and how we are lacking in practicing islam. I think we born muslims can LEARN from reverts. May allah give us all the ability to live our 24 hours lives according to ISLAM and not the kufaar way of life. May he allow us to follow each and every one of our beloved nabi's sunnats, and may he allow us to be kind hearted and welcoming towards reverts. aMEEN.
ive watched the second film and its good mashallah
The first one works fine for me the second one plays and then stop, even though it has buffered and there is a third one added. You should check the third one out 'Unreported killings in kashmir'.
