Well....I did make a few posts today so I guess I was mistaken to say I would mainly lurk.
Very interesting reading thus far. Some posts certainly explain some common misperceptions. I think this site will be educational and I hope my responses will be helpful as well.
I was raised to be Christian, but I reverted to Islam 11 years ago. Ten years ago I married my husband.
Salam Alakum Welcome!!!
I think that you will really enjoy the site.

:rose:This beauty that I have is just a simple part of me.This body that I have, no stranger has a right to see.These long clothes and this shawl I wear, ensure my modesty.Faith is far less fickle than fashion. Wouldn’t you agree?
It's good to see your seeking knowlage.......Do the US educate their military about Islam before they go into Islamic countrys?
Yes, some basic training is provided. We do not understand the details of Islam. We do, however, are told of basic things to ensure we do not offend those of other nationalities, religions, etc. This goes for all countries/religions, not just those of Islamic countries. In Islamic countries, we are not allowed to openly display symbols of christianity, eat or bring pork products in the country, or magazines that show women that are exposing parts of their body.
welcome, welcome to LI, US military eh? this should be fun....
wa alkyum aslaam
I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that. My husband used to ride one and it was my favorite. I, too, used to have one, a Kawasaki Ninja 600 cc. Both of us have given up our bike riding days since the children came along though.
Yes, I have been in the U.S. military for over 11 years. I came here to learn more about muslims and Islam. And, if in turn (for those interested), I can help correct misperceptions about westerners/Americans/the U.S. military/Christianity, then it would be equally helpful, right?
some pretty powerful bikes going around, well im not old enough to get a 600cc, but i am going to to my CBT (in britain that is the compulsory test) and i will inshallah get a TZR50, not that powerful compared to your 600cc monster.
and misconceptions about westerns/USA and christianity would be helpful.

It's interesting that you have served for the U.S. military, and quite a while too! Hope we'll all benefit each other!
So............Ermm...........
Personal questions coming up: please feel free to ignore....somtimes i'm too curious. What do your kids think about you serving in the military? OH! How old are they? What are they ? <-- LoL, that makes it sound like i'm talking about aliens, but i meant, are they girls? boys?
Also, you said you gave up biking since your kids came along, right? So i was wondering did you give it up because you have no more time, or cause you felt it was dangerous? *disclaimer: i know nothing about bikes, so i wouldn't know if its dangerous or not*. But wait, you said you and your husband gave it up....Hmm....<-- I feel like i'm beginning to sound like a lawyer. Where were you on the night that you gave up biking? JK!
And that's it...although, i still feel that i had another question in mind but drats..can't remember it :confused:
*Hope you don't mind, but i just have to welcome brother Youssuf in!*
