I have only just saw this video.
I am a born Muslim and is from Singapore but living in London now. In Singapore we have a convert association called Darul Arqam.
http://www.darul-arqam.org.sg/
There they will deal with all conversion and the support needed by the new converts. There are classes, gatherings, Jamaat prayers, Eid celebrations and just a place to go to if you need any help or advice. All converts are registered so that they will be able to be contacted for any new classes or activity that are being organised.
Non converts are also welcome to the classes and gatherings, hence the converts are able to ‘make friends’ with the wider Muslim communities and not just the newly converts.
Maybe thats what is needed in both America and Europe.

Asalaamu alaikum brother. Islam is not jus a religion its a way of life.subhanAllAH. There is suposed to be no rasiscm anywhere in this world no matter what religion you are or where you are from 1st an for most we all have 1 Creator an HE is AllAH.. An the Prophet Mohamad (SAW) is His messenger. No matter wat religion you follow if you believe in 1 God 1 message then we on the right track. Islam being a way of life is wat every man an woman , sons an daughters of Nabi Aadam (AS),should follow. Nabi Mohammed (SAW) was not jus a Prophet 4 muslims He was a Prophet (SAW) for all mankind subhanAllAH. Follow the teachingz of Nabi Esa (AS) / Jesus an Nabi Mohammed (SAW) an you won’t go wrong.. InshaAllAH. May AllAH (SWT) have mercy on us all..

As a white convert I find it totally laughable that race would even be a factor in this fitnah of these so called jamaats not assisting the needy muslims. You see, I converted to Islam almost 6 years ago in prison and I have found nothing but suspicion and down right evil at play in these Masajid here in America. I married another convert and adopted her daughter. I have had beardless “brothers” and “sisters” who sat across from me and doubted my Islam and implied in a not so subtle way that I was a con man when I have tried to access the Zakaat thatis supposed to be for the needy close to home. Meanwhile I have seen people send vast sums overseas or worse bring in poor Muslims from any number of Islamic countries and they work in a store for a few months and they are set up with a store and a home by the Mosque. You know what kind of offer I get? They want me to somehow find an apartment and get the utilities cut on for $500. This is in major cities. Also these boards that run the communities have no problem telling you they need 3 or 4 days to make a decision and ask you to come back over and over while they go home to their big houses in their expensive import cars full well knowing a family has nowhere to go for the night. What kind of game is being played with this religion I hold so close to my heart? So here I am again at another Ramadaan and I am sharing a run down 1 br trailer with my wife, child, crippled father, and the water here isn’t safe to drink. All I can say is that how can these arabs, and the pakastanis that are too far gone in Hanafi or the Highway mentality ever expecting to build bridges with America ever going to achieve this if they push away those that are sincerely trying to follow the message of Allah SWT, and His messenger SAW? I have come to the conclusion that if you’re not here for the purpose of Dawah then you must be here only to do bad. I sure have seen a lot of bad from selling garbage cars to selling Haraam in stores. Seriously, if you sell beer, spice, counterfeit clothing, bongs, run medicaid scams, that makes you more of a mob than a Jamaat. Go away.

salaam, I wont say much because Mariam n Dj have said enough, sort of…..

I just want to quote a saying of Rasoolullah, sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam:

“no arab is beta than a non-arab except in ‘taqwaa (piety/fear of Allah)'”

This single Hadeeth has absolutely prohibited any form of racism, whatsoever.

Finally, you can never learn the truth about Islam by judging it as par conducts of the Muslims nowadays. Study the lives of the Holy Prophet, his blessed guided companions, and those earlier generations after them. Their conducts and legacies will suffice to enlighten you that Islam is the chosen way of life to worship Allah, subhaanah, wa ta’aalaa.

was-salaam.

Just get tired of the CONSTANT focus on it, and jokes about it, by American converts. Over a billion people on the earth are Muslim, and most do not care if you are some white guy or black guy from the US. You are BROTHERS.

Assalamu alaikum w r w b!

Nabi Muhammad (SAW) is a perfect person.

I’m a born Muslim & i’m grateful to Allah everyday for that. Just to let you know that from my observations, brother & sister converts are generally ‘better’ Muslims because they adhere strongly to the requirements of Islam, as His hidayah is a strong guiding force.
Born Muslims, unfortunately, take things for granted.
Allah tests each of us differently & He shall not burden us more than we can bear. You are all in my prayers.
Wallahu alam.
