I hope things get improve soon. Some people respond better face-2-face as opposed to FB…calling, etc. Just get out there…try the masjid maybe…you might meet some people there…and learn about community events, etc.
As far as the Muslim converts being more welcoming…I wonder if it’s maybe because their conversion made it tougher to relate/connect with friends that are not Muslim…and they’re more welcoming of others…because they themselves really want to feel welcome/be a part of the Muslim community…where they could represent the minority.
