A Little Bit About Me
As-Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

Allah is number One in my life, always and forever because He is The Creator, The Originator of all entities, and to Him we shall all return. I was born and raised in America in a pious Lutheran household; converted to Islam in September 2004. Islam is the religion of pure monotheism, whose knowledgeable adherents cannot be stumped, whilst Christianity as I was raised to understand it, is the religion of a "Trinity" which cannot be logically explained even by the most devoted Christian Scholars. As the years have passed, I have come to know more and more about my new faith. I have traveled to Spain, France, Egypt, Singapore and Indonesia; and I hope to travel to many more countries. My visit to Egypt broke up my naive expectation of a Middle East where all men stop upon hearing the call to prayer and line up in the mosque for prayer. Maybe that's the way it is in Saudi Arabia, but I can't know since I haven't been there yet. In Indonesia I encountered a wide variety of Muslims of different levels of Taqwa. As in Egypt, some Indonesians claimed Islam but didn't exhibit any Islamic behavior traits, such as praying and avoiding alcohol. Indonesians in general are more devoted to following Islam in its purest form, more conscious of bida than Egyptians. Almost immediately upon returning from Indonesia I needed to find work and the only job I could find was The US Navy. The Navy has brought me economic stability but I have found that I have to sacrifice a lot. Since joining the Navy I have become 100% convinced that men must grow their beard, the genetic inability to do so notwithstanding. However, the Navy does not allow its members to grow beards. It's also been a challenge to get away from work for the two or three prayers during work hours. I have been in touch with Muslim men here in Norfolk, but I haven't been able to use my new contacts to get in touch with local Muslimahs. Lastly, I am currently enrolled in university, seeking a BA in Sociology. I have previously been an English teacher and I would love to return to the classroom either domestically or overseas.

What I Am Looking For
Please be a woman who does her best to understand the religion gifted to us by our Creator, The Most Exalted, The Most High. I would like to meet someone who is an active seeker of knowledge, and when new authentic knowledge is acquired, it is then implemented and demonstrated in daily life. I would like a woman who is interested in traveling outside the USA with me, especially to countries with a strong Muslim presence. I do not expect my wife to have a college education or contribute to the financial well-being of the family, but I would not stand in the way of her learning about anything and everything pure in this creation, especially in a university environment. I'd like a wife who is younger than me (born 1985-1995), without obvious physical or mental health problems. You should also be willing to put up with having a husband in the military until September 2014.
