Hello!

Islam has been the fastest growing religion in the world for some time now with predictions showing it becoming the world’s largest religion within the next 25 years. As a western Muslim convert, I’m naturally excited about its projected growth, but I’m also somewhat worried that Islam’s expansion in the west could increasingly lead to conflicts between non-Muslims and Muslims. Since I have important connections to both groups I feel a duty to do what I can to try to minimize possible clashes and help encourage peace and harmony if I'm able.

I believe that much of the potential for conflict stems from fear and prejudice based on incorrect impressions of Islam as a religion of violence and hate, and a lack of awareness of the peace and love that is actually at its heart.
