You couldn't be further from the truth

Wow... I don't think I've ever been offended so much after reading such a small paragraph.

"Muslim men will put their friends over you ,they will not care about saftisfying you sexually ,emotionally. They are only concerned about money."

First of all, that can be said about A LOT of people. You are making a very general statement about Muslims because of a bad apple. Don't get me wrong. It sounds like you've been through a lot and I am sorry for your troubles, but you will find good and bad individuals in every group of people. You cannot generalize the way you did because you happened to meet the wrong person. Islam does not encourage ANY of the characteristics you mentioned.

Everything else you said - and please don't think I'm personally attacking you - is just ignorant. Anyone who has studied the religion of Islam (and I don't mean the people who follow it... because not everyone chooses to follow their religion correctly... in fact very few do. I mean study the religion it self) and you will know that this religion is based on peace, mercy, and forgiveness.

Not everyone is perfect, and we ask God to shower us with his blessings and mercy and forgive us for our sins.
