    I will spend as much time with them as the person desires.

    I also thank God that He has given me an opportunity to speak truth and glorify Jesus.

    I am Christian.

    I usually answer there questions as best I am able. If they have a lot of questions, more than I can answer, I will tell them so and answer what I can and point them where to find answers. If they ask ones that I don't know the answer... I tell them so, and if they really want to know, I'll usually send them to someone I think might know the answer.

    Sometimes questions are curiosity, sometimes they are an attempt to trip you up, sometimes they are just idle chatter, but no matter what if you answer honestly and openly, you're doing yourself and them the best you can.

    Salaam (Peace).

    I am a Muslim woman... and I react "respectfully" whether their questions are sincere or not! My intention in all my posts is to offer information for ALL people... whether they're insulting my Faith or sincere. Even if only 1 person read one of my posts and learned something (cleared up a misconception)... then I was successful in my attempt. And I went about it in the most appropriate manner possible. WITH RESPECT (GOOD MANNERS).

    GOD bless.

    Salaam (Peace).

    Im muslim.. I like it when people ask "sincerely" about Islam..

    its nice to be able to discuss in a civilized manner what Islam is all about.. Especially people of the west, since although Islam isnt new to the west (there are and have been muslims in USA since the 1700's) but only in the past 10years have Islam come to the front media and people are interested.. But biased media like to publish incorrect information about Islam, so we muslims should welcome questions. It gives us the opportunity to exchange valuable and accurate information.. ^_^

    I don't have any problems in answering or pondering over the question.

    Sometimes the thing could be the first ever for me to think over !
