The letter is very vague what is she trying to say and what's the purpose?

Irene, what you have respected as a youngster was probably like all Non- Muslims, the elderly Muslim folk that lived next door - who would give you a taste of Asian food or would smile at you as you went into their garden etc etc. Let me tell you something of my childhood as a Muslim in this country - being hounded by skinheads and NF (National front) when in schools always be bullied by white teachers, on the streets having to put up with racist Police officers - and as I grew up the people were the same but their tactics changed - now what we got is instead of it happening on the streets I grew up as a child but in countries that I never heard of and people that I never knew existed. And you know the difference between me then and me now - its quite simple - I've moved forward - I'm not like that Muslim you used to respect - i'm the Muslim of the future - who stands up to the bullying and teaches my kids - how to stand up for their rights - and you know what to imagine is for someone who thinks up something from nothing - I on the other hand remembers the following quote ...
"I don't want to be a product of my environment - I want my environment to be a product of me" And that is what frightens you - but then you have grown up having experienced what I and others have faced - So please don't talk about respect - those who respect don't disrespect what they have initially respected - like me - I respect Jesus, Moses, David, and all the other Prophets - but I will not move into a world that doesn't recognise The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) as the Final Messenger - even if they believe in the One God.

thanks Irene,

we (Muslims) are the only ones who can change our situation and ensure that absurdity cannot be projected as Islam.

However as a human your support and objective is important.

I am a first time visitor to this site. I came to check it out following all the negative publicity for Islam recently.

I'm afraid comments like the one above from "Islamic Torch", prompt people to wonder what on earth he or she is doing living in this hell hole - would you not be happier living in a nice islamic state like Iran or Pakistan or even Sudan. Your obvious hatred of the kuffar would do them credit!

Just to put your mind at rest - I won't be leaving tis country - cos I was born here - read the entire commentary and then make your comments - oh for your information - when I draw my Pension I'll gladly spend it in Iran Pakistan or hey even Sudan -
