Islam in America before Columbus http://www.themodernreligion.com/ht/before-columbus.html Christopher Columbus, the man who so-called discovered America, himself declared that his impression of the Carib people (i.e., Caribbean people) were "Mohemmedans." He knew of the Mandinka presence in the New World (Muslims) and that Muslims from the West coast of Africa had settled down in the Carribean, Central, South and North America. Columbus further admitted that on October 21st, 1492, as he was sailing past Gibara on the coast of Cuba, he saw a mosque, and remnants of other masjids have been found in Cuba, Mexico, Texas and Nevada.

Source:http://www.wamy.co.uk/bd_quran.htm One of the most remarkable things about the Qur'an is that it contains many verses which accurately describe natural phenomenon in various fields such as embryology, meteorology, astronomy, geology and oceanography. Scientists have found its descriptions to be inexplicably valid for a book dating from the 6th century; in fact, many of the processes and functions mentioned in the Qur'an have been discovered only recently. This fact alone has been the cause of a number of distinguished scientists embracing Islam. It also explains why the conflicts that emerged in Europe during the Middle Ages between faith and reason, religion and science, never arose in Islam. The Qur'an repeatedly encourages people to reflect and use their intelligence, and most Muslim scientists and inventors have also been pious believers. Ahead of Iraq Deployment, 37 Korean Troops convert to Islam. Source: http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200405/200405280041.html May.28,2004 "I became a Muslim because I felt Islam was more humanistic and peaceful than other religions.

Why European Women are Turning to Islam. Source:By Peter Ford Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor December 27, 2005. Ms. Mary Fallot is a recent convert to Islam. (Islam demands a closeness to God. Islam is simpler, more rigorous, and it's easier because it is explicit. I was looking for a framework, man needs rules and behavior to follow. Christianity did not give me the same reference points.(She adds,)Islam is a message of love, of tolerance and peace.) Those reasons reflect many female converts' thinking, say experts who have studied the phenomenon. (A lot of women are reacting to the moral uncertainties of Western society,) says Dr. Jawad. (They like the sense of belonging and caring and sharing that Islam offers.) Others are attracted by (a certain idea of womanhood and manhood that Islam offers,) suggests Karin van Nieuwkerk, who has studied Dutch women converts. (There is more space for family and motherhood in Islam, and women are not sex objects.) After making their decision, some converts take things slowly, adopting Muslim customs bit by bit: Fallot, for example, does not yet feel ready to wear a head scarf, though she is wearing longer and looser clothes than she used to. Why British Women are Turning to Islam. Source:The Times (London) - Tuesday, 9th November 1993 Unprecedented numbers of British people, nearly all of them women, are converting to Islam at a time of deep divisions within the Anglican and Catholic churches. The rate of conversions has prompted predictions that Islam will rapidly become an important religious force in UK. The surge in conversions to Islam has taken place despite the negative image of the faith in the Western press. Indeed, the pace of conversions has accelerated since publicity over the Salman Rushdie affair, the Gulf War and the plight of the Muslims in Bosnia. It is even more ironic that most British converts should be women, given the widespread view in the west that Islam treats women poorly. In the United States, women converts outnumber men by four to one, and in Britain make up the bulk of the estimated 10, 000 to 20, 000 converts, forming part of a Muslim community of 1 to 1.5 million. Islam Attracts Converts by the Thousands, Drawn Before and After September Attacks. By Jodi Wilgoren, The New York Times, October 22 2001 CE Experts say Islam is attractive because of its universal message — the faithful believe that everyone is born Muslim and thus call the transformation reversion, not conversion — and because its teachings incorporate other traditions, honoring Jesus Christ, the Jewish patriarch Abraham and other Biblical figures as prophets. Conversion to Islam is as simple as reciting one sentence — "I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger" — in front of witnesses, a ceremony known as Shahadah.
