Islam was already the fastest growing religion before Oct 7, and in the past year and a half the number of people converting to Islam has increased at an even higher percentage. Myself, I was Muslim before but became much closer to my faith since the genocide. For Palestinians in Gaza, their faith is just about all they have left and it keeps them going. They inspire me, as does Yemen.

Dear Narjis. It is so sad that we have to see the slaughter of Palestinians before we understand.

I will never adopt any Religion only because I have lived in this world where Buddhists become evil with power. I look at India today and I weep.

I have great respect for some parts of Islam.

I am not in the least surprised by your statement here.

We in the West have no principles/morality we just bomb people in the name of Empire.

Hi Narjis

Flint and its surrounding suburbs has a considerable Muslim population, and the Muslim African-American population is growing as well.

Most of our areas Muslims are highly educated: many doctors and other professional.
