For Farrah

Farrah, the writing is on the wall. This man has another woman in the wings. The last thing you want to do is to convert. You think he is difficult now? Convert and you will see far more difficulties than you ever thought possible. The next time he mentions converting to Islam, tell him that you have decided to read the Qur'an before making any decisions. I'm sure he hasn't read it and like most Muslims he only knows what he learned in Madrassas and/or what the Imams (who are mostly illiterate) have said in the Mosque.

Sister, remember that when a man has not achieved anything in his life, he needs something to control and guess what? Controlling a woman will make him feel powerful.

Take care of yourself.
