*woot!*
First post, lol!

My name is Melissa Weiland. I am from Park Ridge.

I enjoy playing the devil's advocate.

Because I undertook a long and arduous journey to find my own spiritual path, I hold a lot of knowlege about a number of different belief systems. Please do not assume that just because I say something that it is what I believe.

Let the games begin!

I'm Avram. I live in Teaneck, NJ. I was raised in a traditional observant Jewish home and have gone to religious Jewish schools my entire life. I like classic rock music, some reggae, and am open to pretty much anything. I'm interested in learning more about Islam and bridging distances between our religions through knowledge, understanding, and awareness of each other.

Asalamuelaykum, I am one of the loudest if not the loudest person in class. My name is Nabiha. I moved out to NJ a little over a year ago. I grew up in IL pretty much my whole life. Just to give you guys a heads up... I am terrable speller (just to let you guys know... I just asked my fellow student how to spell "terrable". So If I misspelled that word, it's not me.. it was the student). My mayjor is Broadcasting. I don't know what else to type. So if you guys have any questions you would like to ask me... ask away.

By the way... If you guys would like to learn more about Islam, Every sundays at 7PM some of the Muslim Youth gets together and talk about Islam. This invatation is open to everyone. =)
