Converting from any religion to another is not the simple, but the hardest decision ever made by anyone. Especially when you are a woman, and have to make a decision whether to embrace Islam or not in circumstances where the world is blaming Islam for mistreats with women.

In a society like America, where is Islam is most under attack religion, and where women are not force to wear or wear not, have or have not, where the society giving women complete freedom to do whatsoever, at that place, women are converting to Islam in thousands on yearly basis, and willingly changing their nude dresses to purified veils and Hijabs.

No one forcing them to embrace Islam and wear the veil and take Hijab. So then why women are willingly imposing strict Islamic teaching upon themselves? Let’s read the interview one of the example of white women who converted to Islam in her own words.

“My conversion was a long process. I left Christianity while in junior high school. I was raised Methodist. My father had been a minister one time and was rather strict when I was a child. My parents left the church mother went the American Indian Lakota way and father just left. I looked into a number of faiths but nothing attracted me. I was raised to look at other cultures from a point of understanding to try to step out of my own culture to view others.

The Iranian revolution sparked many questions for me. I decided to learn more about the people and culture and began reading the history of Iran which led to history of Islam an area not even touched in school. This led to reading Quran. I hit an emotional crisis when a relationship (with an Arab) fell apart, and I found myself turning to the Quran. I realized a need to rely on something other than people. My mother was dead, my family far away. I didn't know who I could turn to or trust. The Quran touched a chord. I got in touch with a Muslim women's study group and they were very supportive and informative. I especially liked Islam's base of logic. It took me a year to finally take shahada.

That was a story of a white woman from America who converted to Islam on intellectual basis and accepted Islam on its logical depth and understanding of reasoning. Did it inspire you also? If your answer is in affirmative, please also give us a reason.
