First contact with Islam was in Birmingham Islamic Society. it's not Russia. It's USA. We were greet...ed so warmly with warm smiles, explained the rules and regulations, and everyone were smiled openly.

First encounter, first impression is still as important. The first feeling still as it is important! See more

I grew up in Birmingham an attended Masjidul Quran. I'm now an Atheist and have my disagreements wit...h Islam like I do with most religions. However, while growing up poor and black, almost every interaction I had with a member of the Islamic Community was positive. I learned a lot, noone asked anything unreasonable of me. So there's no need for negative comments. If you are so concerned with what the Muslims are preaching go to Friday prayers and find out. Call them on the telephone and invite them to lunch. They are just people. See more
