Well smile sweetly and change the subject..

People can be so busy-body!  Honestly some of these things are labels.. it is what your beliefs in your heart and mind. No one else can say what you are or are not.

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. Rumi

 Thank you. You are exactly correct. I knew that when they said that to me,that they were doing their best to try to insult me. To try to put me on the defensive. Instead of trying to satisfy them,I,in the end,did what you said I should do.(The exchange happened in a letter,so I thankfully had time to either respond,or to ignore and move onto another subject.) Thank you sister.

Assalamu'Alaikum Dear Sisters &Sister mona45,

I wanted to respond to the comment that was made to you about not being strong in the christian faith before you converted.....

I've been a muslimah for 18 almost 19 years and I've heard my share of less than friendly comments as well and this is exactly what I say maybe it'll work for you just remember to use a soft, calm, sweet tone when you say it and smile and be genuine and you'll leave the person baffeled beyond belief it really works here goes:

"Alhamdulillah, how wise you are to know that Allah makes us all muslims in our mothers womb and it is our parents that pick and choose our faith for whatever intentions and upbringing they've had....I'm so happy you understand that...Mash'Allah...peace and blessings to you and Alhamdulillah, that Allah opened my heart and guided me back to the one true belief in "One God"....(recite shahada)...May you be as blessed as I have.......Thank You for sharing your opinions with me today...(smile)

and walk away with their jaws dropped....knowing that you've given your dawah for today......

MasSalaama

Salaam Mona

If some jacko whacko said that to me I'd say something along the lines of " Thank God, there is no real Christanity."

Salaam
