The Quran, Chapter 49, Verse 13: "O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)."
Hi Greg,
Your a man with a very big heart to have taken time out and written this note for your fellow men and women of the Islamic faith.
There is no denying the hate the American government spews out regarding Muslims and predominantly Muslim Populated countries to further they empire building, resource grabbing & tyranny.
It's often easier to justify their evil actions by making the peaceful people look like the bad guys by sending out paid mercenaries dressed as Muslims to commit atrocities just so they can get popular support for their heinous actions.
And yes I have experienced so much discomfort at US airports for simply being a Muslim flying in to do talks etc but that was the extent of it... the airport. Outside those boundaries, the American's are nothing less than fun loving, hard working, everyday family people.
My longest standing team member of 18 years is an American and he's an awesome guy.
So though there was no need for it, I thank you on behalf of every minority of the world and pray that God Guides you to what is best for you in this world and in the hereafter. Ameen.
Peace :)
PS. Islam is the fastest growing religion in America. Most people converting are people who ponder and look into things as apposed to just hearsay or adhere to a sheep/group mentality. Here are some videos I found very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=americans+converting+to+islam
