Muslim/Islam

It was my choice to study this, an elective 2-year course. It's a great loss that it was not taught more.

When I was growing up, there wasn't this rabid Islamophobia being preached now. A number of Islamic charities operated in my state, but their focus was not the religion, but what they wanted to do for others freely. That's what all religions should do, stick to the goal, not labels.

And my family, as I explained in another thread on Baptists, saw no difference in the various religions and belief systems. For us, following the Golden Rule was all that mattered.

Thanks for the thread.
