That hit close to home. I bounced back to Islam in the end, but before I went "soul searchin" I didn't even understand my own religion. For me it was an important time for me since, it made me grasp my own religion. Reading the Torah and the Bible as a muslim ain't even that bad. Eventhough we do believe the Torah and the Bible that bits a pieces of those books got changed it's interesting to see the similarities. Budism was the most interesting religion next to Islam for me, but I can't let go of Allah(swt). Why? Dunno just something I feel. O_o;;;
