I keep hoping

Dear Maria,

I'm going to take a chance and say you are a very good person. I mention chance because I only have to go by what you wrote. I have saddened by the fact your faith in Islam is strong, no offense intented.

I 'm not sure if you converted to Islam or if you have been a muslim all your life, whatever the case I can tell you are a good person. I have no animosity toward muslims. One of my good friends is a muslim. I have nothing against mid-eastern folks, my girl friend is a Moroccan Christian. I have to say Moroccan women are among the prettiest in the world.

One thing I have learned Maria, is that people don't really convert people but the Holy Spirit does. I hope one day the Lord Jesus will touch your heart. I sincerely hope so, because a woman like you should be following a person like Muhammad who believed women are inferior to men. He took women as slaves, all these things disqualified him as prophet of God. Maria I hope you will look deep into his character and life and see if your belief remains the same.
