There were other factors, of course; for example, I had taken a college course called "Islamic Civilization" 15 years prior that gave me a good introduction to Islam and various aspects of various Muslim cultures and Islamic history. But in '95 or so, I had started reading the Qur'an more seriously than I had in the past, and I began an on-again, off-again study of Islam that lasted some four years. I had a fair number of doubts, but the continuing study of the Qur'an answered my questions over time and I even had a "Muhammad Asad-moment," when someone wrote on an Internet forum that I sounded like a Muslim, even though I wasn't at the time. <BR/><BR/>By June 2000, I realized that it was time for me to say my shahadah publicly. (By this time I had so many books about Islam at home, I thought that if I died and people came to my apartment that they would think I was a Muslim; I figured I might as well make it the truth. ;) ) And that's what I did. This is my eighth Ramadan as a Muslim.JDsghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735390644321868222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691535.post-82366378582971279192007-10-04T03:30:00.000+08:002007-10-04T03:30:00.000+08:00What's your own story, Sir?
