Im replying to the second "convert" story. I see people miss-reading the Qu'ran a lot. Like Osama, he miss=read it, thinking he had to use violence to spread Islam. And a lot of these uneducated people tend to interpret the Qu'ran wrong, the men who beat their wives and oppress them do too. She was probably from a family of these people, other wise she would not have converted.
Just thought I'd add that. And I see the hidden truth behind your posting.
