Salaam. Yeah I just decided to accept Islam after looking at a few other religions, Islam was straight forward and simple.
Christianity: didn't make any sense the bible tells you to be like Jesus, and according to the NT/OT Jesus was a god - how the hell is a Human supposed to be like a god? just doesn't make any sense. And Ahmad Deedat has me convinced, Jesus existed and he was not crucified. And 99% of Christianity is the work of Paul.
Judaism: It just put me off, when I saw all the dissin' I mean the Virgin Mary was labeled a -----. I really don't even see the point why Christians get along better with the Jews then then Muslims, when the Jews diss Jesus and his mother - while the Qu'ran holds them in high esteem.
Hinduism: Hindu gods raping their own daughters - not my kind of reading, incorporation of the racist caste system, cannibalism and mass wife burning.
Buddhism: no god = no nothing, so its illogical to follow Buddhism.
Sikhism: There is evidence to suggest that Guru Nanak, was most likely a Muslim then a Hindu or a Sikh, he prayed with Muslims, he ate with Muslims, his best friend was a Muslim, he went to mecca near the Kabbah, and we all know non-Muslims are not allowed near the Kahhbah. Conclusion he was a Muslim not a Sikh, all Sikhs should convert to Islam and me Muslims. I mean Sikhism says all paths lead to one destination so it doesn't really matter what religion you follow according to Sikhism. If I was a Sikh I would convert to Islam.

Although in Islam I don't get this Sunni and Shia deal? Anyway I want to learn more about Shiasam if anyone has good links and info then pass then on to me.

Mashallah brother I am very happy to hear that you have chosen Islam. Barakallah feek.
Remember that all sins committed before you converted are now erased and you can basically start from the beginning. Make the best of the time you have.
whoaaa!! Glad you made the first step alhamdulilah, and remember when you walk towards Allah s.w.a, he will come running to you insha Allah! Keep your intentions pure and your actions insha Allah!
“Whoever puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is Allah for him.”
Thanks to everyone. Its funny about 2 weeks ago I didn't even think a god existed. But the truth is I never actually wanted to believe because I didn't want to be held responsible for my actions. But its all good though I suppose.
Someone only gave me one link on Shias - lol come on guys!
Ah ha, sorry am not reading that link. I have heard this forum is majority Sunni so the information will be biased, I would prefer to read from natural sources of direct Shia sources. I don't mean to offend any Sunnis by suggesting Sunnis are lairs what I mean is shias will be better equipped to explain to me about shiasam then a Sunni.
You may not be getting much links because sectarian issues are actually not allowed to be discussed here. A shia site would be: [sectarian link removed]
but i wont discuss it
There are plenty of Sunni sites. A good one would be www.islam-online.com. You can also get a lot of information on this forum.
Peace.

Welcome to the light of Islam, the guidance of Allah; the Lord of all that which exists and which will ever exist. Firstly you can refer to my website (esiraat), which has basic information on Islam. As I'm not Sunni or Shia; I try not to be biased on either side (I'm just Muslim, the path of Allah and His prophet is sufficient). For any questions, please feel free to e-mail me on: [email protected], alternatively you can send me a PM or Post in a thread. Insha-Allah; you'll find the answers to your questions.
The Angel Gabriel asked: “Muhammed tell me about Islam”
[B]The Prophet (PUH) answered: Islam is - “To bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (SWT) and that the Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (and that he was sent by Allah to teach us His religion)”
[/B]
Now you are a Muslim by Choice and not by Chance
