So there was a time, so there was a place. Now I think people are judging me for something. So there was a conversation, then there was confrontation. Yes, I am trying to become a Muslim, I'm surrendering myself to Islam. I am doing this because it feels right for me. I don't want people to dislike me for that.

Of course someone will always be persecuted for something. But this was the first time I ever felt (actually) attacked. If only understanding was taught to people instead of hatred. I have come to the conclusion that Jesus (peace be upon him) won't be as pronounced in my new religion. I've come to a new idea in my spiritual journey.

Maybe I'll revere all the prophets equally. No favorites, no least favorite. All served a purpose and they are equal, but the one who reigns over all is Allah (God). Muhammad (peace be upon him) is another prophet that will be included and he shall be equal to the others, no more, no less. Fairness and equality make peace (so I believe).

I understand Jesus (pbuh), and I believe God worked through him to help others. I believe Muhammad (pbuh) was revealed the Qur'an by the Angel Gabriel so that he could guide the people back to the LORD. I believe many things and my view is still very liberal and "radical". I'll try to adhere to tradition. I teach myself too many things.

From: The Gospel according to Saint Matthew,

"[5:8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. [9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. [10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."
