jaz,
think of ISLAM as the 'taste' of honey. i can write a million words on what it tastes like but if you dont EXPERIENCE it for yourself, you will NEVER REALLY know what it is like. but the first step to tasting honey is to know that honey is good for you and MANY people like its taste.

i can write about Islam in hundreds of different languages , what is important is that you UNDERSTAND the meaning of what i am writing.

my point is, it DOSENT MATTER which words you use to explain or call Islam or Allah, as long as the MEANING is conveyed correctly.

jaz i have a very simple question for you which requires just a yes or no answer-
Do YOU submit completelly to the will of God?
