All this despite 9/11 or because of it, as many searched for the truth, after the media/govt. blacked out many of the ‘why’s’ from the discussion.

It would be interesting to see the stats for the UK again in a few months fowllowing the aftermath of the current media witch hunt and one sided commentary.

Hardly a mention of the 1000’s of hate crimes commited against Muslims, instead the focus is on demonising them all and making them accomplacies.

This will only further increase peoples thirst for the knowledge of Islam.

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

On a recent trip to the states, I noticed that a lot of Hispanics, as well as blacks were embracing Islam, more since after 9/11 in fact.

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

Hmm! Where? Inner sanctum of some Mullah’s hojra?

The days of attracting blacks to Islam are numbered thanks to the daily pictures of Somalis, Eritrean etc. flashing on TV.

Hispanics have very strong Catholic faith in general. You can’t convert them to Baptists ministry, let alone another religion that is totally alien to them.

You may have heard about US prisons and inmates converting to Islam. I hope your recent trip was not through some prison.

Muslims make effort to welcome Hispanic `reverts’
DALLAS - (KRT) - The Espinoza family was eagerly
awaiting its first observance of Ramadan, the
month-long Muslim period of fasting that began Sunday.

El Puente: Islam Catching On Among Latinos

Hundreds of north Texas Latinos are also serious, and they’re finding a common ground with other South Americans, Spaniards and Mexicans who have found their place at the Islamic Association of North Texas in Richardson.

In fact, according to the association, there are currently about 200 Latinos practicing Islam in north Texas.

And Muslims at the center say the Latino-Islam connection is not that far-fetched.

When she wore it, though, nice things would happen, like when police would open the door for her, which she liked. Once she embraced Islam, something like 10 of her relatives did as well Ð including her father, who used to drink with the village priests in Bolivia, and so didn’t take religion seriously. Her sister becoming Muslim was a strange and wonderful story in itself.

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

There is no date on the Islam-un-aware post and it has copyright mark of 2003. Hello! We are now in August of 2005. Ramzan is not here yet.

nbc5i is also from November 2003.

These posts are just cheap tricks of proselytization. Baba! wake up and smell the coffee.

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

some more and say mashallah this time, unless of course you hate the idea of Islam spreading far and wide?

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

The last link is from a week ago

Islam is one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States and Latinos represent one of the fastest-growing minorities. Increasingly, the two trends are meeting in the form of Hispanic converts to Islam.

:)

now say mashallah :)

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

It's true there's lots of Black and Latino people converting to Islam, some brothers I know from the Mosque go to different parts of the world to preach and even they told me lots of Hispanic people are converting to Islam, pretty cool it increases my chances of finding a nice Latina Muslimah wifey as a third or fourth.

Even some of my acquaintances seem to be showing an interest in Islam, just today this guy was asking me all about how to convert and whether or not he'd have to have the snip if he converts.

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

mashallah^

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

are you going to come back to religion of your forefathers? :slight_smile:

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

Gupta Ji, Whatever I know about my forefathers, they were saints who taught to respect other religions and stay away from Arrabob fanaticism.

How about your forefathers? I am sure they must have taught you to abhor Gujarat burning, Ayodia destruction, and Kashmir Killing. Right? You seem to be from nice family. I am sure you got the good teaching too.

Re: Reverts to Islam the growing tide

You mean Adam and Eve? They were both Muslim.

If you mean some of his ancestors who were possibly Hindu for a few generations then that doesn’t sound like a good idea if they were anything less than a Brahmin or Ksatirya. Seen as most Pakistanis are Punjabi and most Punjabis are Jatts (including the ones who pretend to be descended from Arab and Persian saints), and Jatts were only considered Vaisyas in Hinduism, being only a level above Sudras it doesn’t sound too tempting, even to me who has royal warrior Kshatirya women and priestess Brahmin women amongst his ancestors I don’t find Hinduism right appealing, Islam till I die!!!
