For I know there are many westerner muslims here, I would like to know how Ramadan looks like in your countries, do you have districts where you may feel some of a special atmosphere realted to Ramadan ? Do you have lanterns there (fanous Ramadan)

or have you ever seen Muslim people taking care of hanging it on their doors or buying it for their kids ?

We have huge meals in the 3 different Mosques here.

Community centers and Jewish Centers also hold a huge bash celebrating the Eid. Basically its a inter-faith celebration so gentiles and Jews alike can show their support for Muslims in the Community.

Then companies big corporate companies also put up Eid el-Fitr banners, put links and special web banners up on their intranets, also send special congrats to their Muslim employees as a show of support.

Along with what the politicans do, open house nights right after the Eid at the city halls to welcome Muslims of the community to open up to and become more active in their communities.

We have 80,000 or more Muslims out of a metropolitan area of 3.5 million. Its a must!

What I would like to see is Islam bring in new converts for the right reasons, not out of hate for Jews and America.

I want quality not quantity.

So much of recent reverts carry on the same trend of white colonialism and evangelism of Christainity.

Taking up a new faith shouldn't be like voting, a choice between two bad options.

I have thought about it a great deal and I am still studying the matter.

But if I was to convert now my husband would really take advantage of it and expect submission in ways that is not cool or Islamic.

My husband is heavy blooded.

I'll wait until the time is right.
