I am borinqueña who grew up in Germany and became Muslima December 26th, 2001. Yes, exactly - at Christmas and after this tragedy that happened in NYC. I couldn't believe that this is Islam. I couldn't believe that people do that for God. So I began to look for Islam. I read a lot of stuff about Islam and found out that this what these people did had nothing to do with Islam. Everything what the TV and my family said were a bunch of lies. I have family in Brooklyn-NYC, San Juan-Puerto Rico, Cochabamba-Bolivia, Spain-Gibraltar and Germany and nobody of them could understand that I embraced Islam. My mum hates Islam and my dad loves me and to him is it okay that I made this decision. You know, after reading all this stuff about Islam, I began to love the Prophet Muhammad, and I began to think about God and this live and my heart changed and my lifestyle changed. When I was 9 years old I did la comunion and when I was 13 la confirmacion like most Catholic girls do and it was beautiful, but nothing of Christian religions gave me that what God has been giving me through Islam. This is about me, in case you wonder why I am a muslima borinqueña. :o) I read about a family from my origin that are living in nyc and embraced Islam like me. I wish I could meet this family one day. :o)
I hope you won't discriminate me because of my religion, like thousand of people discriminate unjustly Muslims in this world.
I hope we can communicate in peace. I speak Spanish, German and English. :o)
This is something about me.
Peace,
Raquel

"Mi pensamiento es, que los extradicionados, los discriminados llevan la pepita de la verdad dentro de si; y, que ellos son, los que definen la verdad sobre nosotros."
Lars Noren.

"Mein Gedanke ist, dass die Ausgelieferten, die Diskriminierten den Kern der Wahrheit in sich tragen und dass sie es sind die die Wahrheit über uns definieren."

May Allah guide him to the right path! Ameen!
