landielong asked: Salaams, Peter! Your NY Times article was beautiful, Mash'Allah. I'm a recent Muslim convert (about 2 months strong) living in a predominantly white/christian suburb north of SF. Being able to read and follow others has helped me immensely. I feel like I have a virtual community who supports me when I feel most alone. So thank you for sharing your story and shedding your light!

My main problem (other than the complete lack of a support system in my small town) is that I am not exactly your average Muslim convert, and i don't mean that racially. I suppose one could describe me in more of the gothic persuasion when it comes to dress and music....

3ayoosh asked: Salam, thanks for posting up all the videos. Mashallah! It is very helpful. I always look forward to your new videos. Actually I have a question for you.

So I downloaded the Quran apps for him on his iPad...
