So...

Does that mean that because I have submitted to God that I am a Muslim, even though I have studied Islam, the Koran, and Islam´s history, lived in the Middle East and the subContinent and have lived around and know many, many Muslims (some good ones, though they don´t actually practice Islam), yet I despise and hate Islam with a passion for almost everything it stands for, and I know it to be the cult of a egomaniacal warlord with a penchant for many women and young girls, who had extreme hatred in his heart toward people simply for their refusal to accept him, and that Islam is a false religion and Mohammed is the anti-Christ MY God has warned us about...yet you say I am a Muslim because I "submit" to God? (I rather be dead than be a Muslim...honestly.)
