I have long been fascinated by Islam and even wrote a paper in its defense back in 2005 for my English 102 class. I am in a stalled state of writing a fictional book that deals with Islam and a new faith dealing with branching off from Islam (somewhat like the Bahai or the Druze). I know there is a great deal of evil in the world promulgated by extremist Muslims, but there are so many good people that it saddens me to have such an ugly voice of the minority representing the faith so much in the media. Oh, I also had a Pakistani friend in an anatomy and physiology class. He was a good guy and we often would discuss how amazing it was that the human body functioned as it did. We both could not help but ascribe it to the creation of an inspired Creator!

I don’t really have a question at this point. I am just very appreciative of a thread like this. I guess the name is probably representative of one of the very few trends I managed to start here. I am sure I will pop in and ask questions. Thanks for being willing to share your faith so openly.
