Hi everyone!

I'm a pagan from the heart of Dorset. I would love to know more about Muslims as individuals.

I am a pat of a Pagan forum site. There is one chap there who, at every opportunity expresses Islam-phobia bordering on Racism! I'm FED UP with it. By all accounts he has never known a Muslim well (living in the middle of nowhere in Dorset). I find myself defending the right to practice a religion I don't even follow, all the time.

Witches were persecuted in this country for many years and freedom of religion has made me able to practice freely, so I defend everyone else’s right to do the same. He is more the "chuck 'em out the country" type!

He says I know nothing of Islam (despite my other half following a Universal Sufi path for some years, I know its not quite the same but has some rout in Islam I think(?)), and he recently suggested that If I found out more about Islam and Islamic people I would realise what a bunch of hate filled folk you all are(!) So I am here to prove him wrong.

I realise many of you wont agree with my religion, but I hope some of you will agree that just because my religion is not what you believe I cannot be forced into believing otherwise.

Blessings to you all:smile:
 
Hey wykewitch. :)


I'm sure you'll have a beneficial and enjoyable stay here, and yes you have a freedom of choice in religion since Allaah/God Almighty says in His final revelation:

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. [Qur'an 2: 256]​



Thankyou for defending the muslims on that forum which you mentioned, :) And i hope we are able to defend you also on this forum if you get any personal attacks etc.


To get a basic intro on what Islaam truelly is, i invite you to check this site:

http://www.beconvinced.com/en/main.php


I'd also like to mention that Islaam isn't a racist religion, infact 1/5th of the world is Muslim and the numbers are growing still today!


The Messenger of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for a fair-skinned person over a person with dark skin, nor for a dark-skinned person over a person with fair skin. Whoever is more pious and God-fearing is more deserving of honour.' (Musnad Ahmad)



If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! :)



Peace.

Welcome, wykewitch

If you want to find out about Islam, this is the place to be! :)
In the Comparative Religions section you will come across other faiths too - but enter at your own peril ... it does get heated at times.

Once upon a time I considered myself a pagan too. But then my path took me a different route ...

Peace and blessings
