I had quite a lengthy reply but i fear i will only make things worse and if someone does not want to see the truth they simply just will not see it. I once loved what this country stood for until i found out something very different that has changed me forver. I won't bother to elaborate into this any further because i'll just make myself look worse in the eyes of people who do not know me or understand how i feel and what i know. The truth is a am a man who wants peace and i do ahve flaws just like you or any other and i won't pretend i don't. I'm still growing and learning as i go along through life. I wish nothing evil or corrupt exsisted in life and that i could have a happy life raising a family and being with my wife, family, and friends but most people in this world have and never will get that in this mortal life. I feel i have said enough on this forum because now sadly bushmaster and im sure others view me as a hot headed hypocritical person who has betrayed God and betrayed myself. I wish i could just let the words of peole fall off me when they lanmd but i do take the words of people very seriously. I am incabable of ignorning any mans voice when he wants to express something to me wether it be good or bad. So therefore i think it is time for me to focus on my own soul and pray for forgiveness if i have effected any of you unappropriately.
I came with the intention to help and bring understanding and im leaving with the feelings somewhat different yet hopeful i have changed some views about Islam and muslims and brought a greater degree of tolerance between our people. I will definetly leave this forum and my home when i go to Australia with many of the words you all have said, good and bad, and i do have a greater understanding of people and why some people have major disagreements with muslims and our religion.
Crystalpc is right, this is a christian forum and you all should just be left to your own to discuss without getting upset.
I hope the views i have brought can be seen as representing of the majority of the righteous muslims in this world , i can say this because the majority of muslims in this world have many of the same feelings i have expressed. I do geniunely care for christian people since my family and my wifes family are all christians of different denominations. I have made friendships with christians and muslims alike of all walks of life, from priests and devout christians to immigrant muslims from all over the world. I may be 19 years old but i have made close bonds with a variety of people that most americans or even arabs will never expirience in their lives.
When i leave im going to remeber all the great things about this country and that gives me hope things can change, when i start my education and graduate eventually i hope God gives me the honor of helping people of all faiths and unite humanity instead of destroying it. I apologize for any offence i have caused or God forbid if i have made anyones view of Islam worse than it already was. Blessings to you all, thank you for everything i have learned from everyone in this forum. Thank you especially Bushmaster for your words....
