I have great respect for reverts. Mainly because of their courage to acknowledge and accept the truth despite their circumstances. The kind of courage missing in the Muslim countries as has been correctly pointed out. When I look around I see the younger generation following the western culture such vehemence as was never thought possible. Being born Muslims somehow has taken away the quest for knowledge regarding religion rather than anything else.

If you were to study our culture closely, we tend more to follow what our elders have taught us rather than seeking knowledge with an open mind. This is not the way Muslims were supposed to be. They were supposed to be enlightened, tolerant, knowedgable, humble and most of all seekers of truth.

On top of everything else, we have a system of education where no analytical skills are developed in children. Personally, I believe, this is the best gift that we can give to our children; to be able to think, analyze, appraise, and follow what they then deem right (this does not concern only religion but all walks of life).

These are not the only kinds of problems we face.

I am glad to hear that you are now living a life that you always wanted to live. I hope your path becomes easier for you still.

Best regards
