That's how I became Muslim, and one of
the things that I've come to recognize for
most people, if not, I would almost say
all people who've ever converted to Islam, it
starts with the interaction with another Muslim.
I think one of the things that makes
Islam both like a great opportunity, but also
a burden on Muslims, is that Islam is
a faith that's judged by how Muslims behave.
More so than really any other faith, and
whether you're living it in a way that's
attractive or a way that's negative, then colors
people's opinions about what Islam really is, and
so I think we're all accountable for that.
