Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,

 One day, I read my CAIR email and I clicked on a link to a news story.  I really wanted to make a comment so I wrote one.  It ended up being a forum on a news station's website in Oklahoma.  They have affiliates around the United States and the people who post there are from all over.  I have continued to post on this forum because there is only one Muslim there who doesn't post very often.  I have been posting nice things about Islam and trying to negate the bad images of Muslims.  Many people have written me to tell me that they really enjoy reading about Islam.  Some people, of course, post inflammatory articles about Muslims and some have directly insulted or attacked me recently.  I was going to ask if some of you would visit this forum also.  Another Muslims input would be very nice.  I would like to see many more Muslims on this forum.  Tell them about upcoming open houses of your masjids, post articles, or anything.  I hope to see some of you there and here.  I know I haven't posted in a while.  The website to the Oklahoma one is www.ktul.com then look on the left for KTUL forums, click on that, and then click on top 50 active discussions.

Assalamu alaikum :-) :-* :-)

Sister I went through your posts and replys and Alhumdulilah you portray Islam very correctly. Your character is something I hope to see in more Muslims in discussion forums. When somebody insults you, you ignore the insult and answer back with facts. you dont let your emotions get in the way of posting.    If somebody bashes Islam you dont insult them back but you just give them facts so maybe insh'Allah they will not  be put off and actually think of what your saying (even the ignorant/insulting people) and who knows maybe inshAllah will one day become Muslim! Allah (swt) knows best. I hope whoever decides to go participate in the forum will go with the same attitude as this sister who has put a very good name on Islam.  Remember before you go though, if you cant take insults on yourself or even on Islam then dont go, because there will be alot of that. Also Alhumdulilah there are very friendly people their who I have seen defending you and have noticed and remarked on your calm and sweet attitude.

Jazak Allahu Kayron

your sister

Jazak Allah Khair, sister, for your kind words.  :-* I was going to emphasize to anyone to definitely keep your cool if you go to the forums.  Some of them would like nothing better than to see a Muslim get angry and lose their temper.  

"Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for your Lord knows best who have strayed from His Path and who receive guidance. (16:125)

"And dispute you not with the People of the Book except with means better(than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury):  But say: 'We believe in the Revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; our God and your God is One; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam). (29:46)
