New user here!
Hello guys, I am a Muslim. I originally didn't practicse but after months of searching with an open mind, I was convinced. I have debated with Christians before in other forums but this is my first time being on a Atheist forum so I enjoy discussing my religion with you lot here Smile

I am 21 years old. I live in the UK. I think that's about it really.

I forgot to mention my real name is Musa not Zakir. I chose Zakir because of Zakir Naik.

Thank you Zakir from the UK.

Welcome to our little haven on the web. We have a number of Muslim members and you may find our search facility of benefit to gather your facts of what has been discussed and possible angles for a new discussion.

Enjoy your stay here.

Hi Musa, welcome along.

Personally I believe that most peoples religious views stem from their environment, upbringing and social conditioning and tend to have very little to do with a genuine and unbiased search for the truth. The fact that your name is Musa (Arabic: موسى‎; meaning Drawn out of water) makes it far more likely that you would become a muslim rather if your name had been Eamonn in which case I would have expected you to be a catholic or Rajah where I would have assumed hindu.

My point is that your faith is based upon external influences and not freethinking or rational argument.

That's my first impression anyway...

All I can say is that you have lower standards of evidence than me.

Welcome anyway Smile
