Losing My Jihadism – washingtonpost.com

I felt as though I was hearing this verse for the first time. God is light, it says, the universe is illuminated by His light. I felt the verse was speaking directly to me, sending me a message. This God of light, I thought, how could He be against any human? The God of light would not be happy to see people suffer, even if they had sinned and made mistakes along the way.

I had found my Islam. And I believe that others can find it, too.

Beautiful article. I was having a conversation last night with some friends about religion and God and people. We all came to same conclusion regardless of our differences (Catholic, Shia and Sunni) – God is beauty, God is Peace, and yes Martijn, God is Light.
We have sat many nights discussing God and religion and our differences have never separated us so much that we cannot continue to love Him.
