Assalamu alaikum

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in the Unied states as a muslim girl. But I love meeting other muslim people who are from different countries other than America, and the Islamic countries. So are there any other muslims on this site that are from different countries? If so, I would love to know where you are from, and what the muslim population in that country is.

Assalam Alaikum Zehaya
 
Welcome here. I am from India and a new Muslima. I am married to an Indian Muslim guy. I guess population of Muslims in India is about 150 million - growing by the day with more conversion, wedlock and child birth

I an Africian American and I don't know much about Muslims except what I hear and see on tv. I know those things are not true. I know a bout the Nation of Islam but I don't like them because they teach rasism. I want to lean about real Muslims.

Do you mean Brunei?
 
Yes Brunei is a small muslim country. The full name is Brunei Darussalam. It's located in the top of Borneo island, it has borders with Indonesia and Malaysia.

Hello Want-to-know,

What would you like to know about Muslims?

Well for one thing, Muslims are one of the most diverse communities in the world. We are spread all over the world, in Asia, Middle-East, Africa, Americas, Europe etc. There are Muslims of every single imaginable color, race and ethnicity.

American Muslims for example represent 68 different countries ! as well as the indigenous people (many of them being African Americans). In America, Muslims are the 2nd most educated community after Jews, and 49% of Muslims have at least a college degree compared to only 29% of overall Americans.

This is an interesting article that fights common myths against American Muslims:

http://www.loonwatch.com/?s=muslims+educated+america&x=0&y=0&=Go - http://www.loonwatch.com/?s=muslims+educated+america&x=0&y=0&=Go



Oh, as for Nation of Islam, while they did help African Americans get a voice in America - they have practices which are un-Islamic and not very ethical. Islam forbids racism, no matter which race it is against. So Nation of Islam is not a good representation of Islam, since many of its fundamental beliefs go against the Islamic faith. Many NOI members convert to orthodox Islam later in life. Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali for example, are examples of famous NOI members who later converted to "Islam".
 
What else would you like to know? Smile
