Well, frankly, I don't think that defending Islam is a waste of my time.
Aside from that, there are other reasons why I come to this forum, which are mainly to expand my knowledge, discuss with people, make some jokes, get new ideas, and learn about other religions as well. These are things that I find to be the most valuable in my life. So, that's why I am here.

You're welcome. I'm glad that you liked it. Hopefully, now you have a slightly better understanding of me.

Yes, I'm permitted to decline their choice for me because Muslim parents are not allowed to choose someone for their children against their own will.

And I certainly feel that my time here is worth it.

Now I'm 25.
And my level of maturity, humor, and acceptance is probably just a matter of ... a matter of mind over age?
But thanks for the compliment.

No problem at all, pad. Things like that happen.
I already had my age written on my profile, though. I suppose you didn't know that before. But that's okay.
