I have been a convert sense 1991 March. I have been a widower for 12 years. I have two very grown cbildren. I am easy going, not argumative type of man. I am retired US Army of 25 years. I am in law enforcement of 8 years. I now leave in Hawaii. I am of mix race, that is, part Hawaii-Japanese of my mother's side, and of Scottish/Norse of my father side of the family. I had converted to Islam in 1991. However, I must truly confess that I have not been enriching my conversion to Islam for 18 years. I had keep the matter to myself...why, not sure at the time. Now I want to believe in an Almighty God, whom created us with his endearing love for his creation. I do not believe that Islam is being taught and practice has it was originally and very much abuse by those whom seek hate and revenge. I am student of history, and I see Islam being use to turn the West to hate Islam, therefore, giving there ideology credence. I see that among Christian who misuse the teaching to benefit to justify their form of madness. I want to practice Islam as it should be, humbleness, humility and tolerance to all of god's children; regardless of faith. We all have to answer to one Almighty God, Praise Allah who is just and forgiving to those that truly seek him. I want a woman who takes pride in herself; that is, in mind and in appearance. I am desiring a Islamic marriage, life, and raise our children in accordance to Allah. However, in a moderate beliefs. I am still an American.
