I started to tell people that I was currently doing the research to convert to Islam. My own mother told me that I shouldn't because America was based on Christian grounds and all other religions are worthless (that is the PG version). I simply told her that is why I am doing this.

I was surprised by the abrupt and strong oppossion that I faced even in my own home. Recently i took my brother to school (I was driving), and all of the people that were dropping there childern off too gave me horrible looks and suprised looks. This experience hasn't even begun and I already feel probably what most Islam people feel on a daily bases.

I thought that America was "The Land of The Free," "Religious Freedom" and all that, but I now believe that is not true. I am very disappionted in this great nation...
