Princess, I take great offense to your very ignorant comment regarding reverts. Who says 'they all did a lot worse than this guy"? and who also said we were all once off the beaten track? We all arent Cat Stevens... drugs booze and partying till we found Allah. In fact, a majority came from good clean households and found Islam through the grace of Allah.

As for being forgiven and given a second chance, this is also rubbish. Is a born muslim not forgiven for his sins when he performs Hajj? Are sins not washed away in ordeals of pain. Would a muslim be forgiven for being a hypocrite? Not all things are forgiven....
