Dear friend, first of all I would like to congratulate you for your wise and courageous decision to embrace Islam, God has chosen you among millions and million of astray people because God chooses those who deserve His love and guidance. I want to draw your attention that an eternal conflict will continue to exist between the patriots of Devil & the lovers of God. Those who tried to defame Islam and deface its beautiful picture to confuse you are the ones meant by God in the following verse:
"The unbelievers spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the path of Allah, and so will they continue to spend; But in the end they will have (only) regrets and sighs; At length they will be overcome: and the unbelievers will be gathered together to hell".
Don't listen to them, their similitude is like a drowning man who tries to pull as much people as he can with him, they are doing the Job of the Devil who vowed to betray all sons of Adam when he was cursed and thrown out of heaven:
"It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels bow down to Adam, and they bowed down; not so Iblis (Satan); He refused to be of those who bow down ((Allah)) said: "What prevented thee from bowing down when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay."
((Allah)) said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)"
He said: "Give me respite till the day they are raised up."
((Allah)) said: "Be thou among those who have respite."
He said: "Because thou hast thrown me out of the way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on thy straight way:
"Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from their right and their left: Nor wilt thou find, in most of them, gratitude (for thy mercie)."
((Allah)) said: "Get out from this, disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee, Hell will I fill with you all."
Finally, I advise you to visit the nearest mosque at your neighborhood and you will find your brothers Moslems very helpful and they will guide you how to become Moslem and if you need any kind of assistance please contact me at my email, just add yahoo.com to my nickname, I will pray for you.
Thanks for all brother Moslems who answered the question.
