Just to clarify.

To my annonymous commenter, no, I am not Salafi. I don't think I said I was, I did not mean to imply that I was. And if I ever did say I was a Salafi, it was by accident and I should go back and rewrite what I wrote so as to prevent any further confusion. Sorry if I did, I did not mean to give that impression. I do admire them somewhat, but I doubt I would ever be able to make such a commitment.

About "making mistakes", that is kind of my reason for writing this stuff. I always hear reverted Muslims talking about how "perfect" and peaceful their lives became once they became Muslim. Alhumdulillah, I do love Islam, and I am happy to be Muslim and I do believe it has made a big empact on my life, but things have not always been great and wonderful and easy. I think as lot of new Muslims hear older Muslims saying all that wonderful stuff and then get discouraged and think they must be doing something wrong because life didn't just open up for them and make everything easy. At least, that is how I used to feel. I might have accepted what I believe to be the true religion, but I still have problems to deal with. I still have to vent sometimes.

Anyway, blah blah blah
