Another point of view

Hi to everyone!

I've been lurking on this board for ages now and have been following the latest
situation regarding Brother Daud with some interest.  Sadness, too, if the
truth must be told, because this board has meant a lot to me over the last few
months.  Let me explain.

I am not Muslim but find Islam fascinating.   I've read TONS about it but never
knew about this board.   About a year ago, I met and fell in love with a Muslim
man.  Without going into the details, he not only broke my heart but ripped it
from my body and stomped up and down on it too. Needless to say I was
devastated, and angry, and couldn't even hear the word "Muslim" without my stomach
rolling.  Something I had enjoyed learning about destroyed in the midst of tacky
relationship drama!!  That was almost more depressing than the end of us. Anyway,
one day I was surfing and came across this board.  I've stayed ever since.  
Listening to (most!) of you guys chat and debate and laugh reminded me of what
attracted me to Islam in the fist place.  I've learned so much from hanging out
with you, however secretly!  No, I haven't always agreed with what was said, but
the discussion always gave me something to think about.  SO, that was just a
long way of letting you know that  while someone may have said something the
drove Daud away, other things are being said  bring people like me in.

I hope that provides a bit of comfort.  

Bye for now!

Hey sparrow,

It's kind of scary to know there are lurkers out there...but then again I guess we'll think of you guys as our guardian angels.. coming in to the rescue, saving the day and setting the record straight when most needed :)
