WHY MANY BRITONS CONVERTING TO ISLAM
BY NUR MALIKHAH,S.Pd,M.Hum
Generally speaking, being a Muslim in non-muslim countries (i.e. European countries) is sometimes hard. Many aspects make Muslims get difficulties to have their lives, like the way they do the five times prayer, how to get halal food, how to dress-up, how to socialize with community, and so on. One real example is the situation in France where the government has set to forbid women to wear burqa in France. Women wearing headscarf will be harassed and get unusual treatment by others. The other thing is that it is also hard to get halal food when Muslims live among non-muslims as most food contains alcohol, pork, or even any meat which is not slaughtered without mentioning the name of Allah. European people tend to have their common socialization in bar, pub with only alcoholic drinks served, and Muslims will not be able to mingle with them in the same manner with them even they do not drink anything.
