Assalamu alaykum

My name is Dawud, Alhamdulillah I am a revert to Islam. I am a native from England and my grandparents faught world war 2 so it was 100% my choice to come to Islam. I am 22 year old journalist. I have been reading your comments and really find your views as bizzarre. You think Islam is trying to take over the world. You say that we have purposefully cause bangladeshi's to live in poverty so that they woudl come to the west to seek refuge. Have you ever considered that its the capitalist system that causes them to leave their countries due to poverty. The west has very few resources and yet look how rich the western world is. This is because the west are the true imperialists and always have been.

You are the people who have truely been brainwashed, just listen to what you are all saying. Someone even said "lets take a look at lessons from spain" and what he means is lets used forced conversions, torture and mass killing to purge Islam from the world (which is what happened in Spain). Well you can all think as you like, I am getting married Inshallah and plan to have many children and am working the dawah to bring people to Islam and ocntributing everything to my beautiful religion and I really ocudln't care a less what you think but dont talk about freedoms and then talk about banning Islam, you are either faschist or you believe in freedoms, otherwise your just a hypocrite.
