Assalamu'alaykum, Megan...

I am a moslem. Since the beginning I started using Internet, I joined several forums talking about Islam. Some of them I dig more carefully, but more often I only read or observe the situation around. I noticed that many of them – especially in our Indonesian language – are not built upon good conversations or well-respect to others. That is one reason I prefer to read and think about my religion by spending more time with books.

That similiar reason happens to blogs. To be careful, I choose having not yet written blog talking about Islam but simply told some of my experiences when practising it or argued some topics using Islam's viewpoints. Other side, I frequently do blogwalking started from tags like islam or moslem. I find interestingness reading entries having such tags because bloggers like to talk about something they did or they believe in practical sense. Sure, there also exists many ideological or political entries which also deal with Islam.

Vox's public tag islam guided me to entry about Islam and feminism. To my experience, feminism is one of topics I realize as sensitive not only between men and women, but also between our so-called modern viewpoint and many Islam classic references. More interesting that the author explained that she converted to Islam after several times learning several religions and beliefs, using feminism issue as one of foundation.

She is Megan, who expresses her thought that Islam is the most feminist religion. I kept her entry in Favorites box, she responded by commenting on my Flickr entry, and finally we set ourselves as neighboorhod. This eases me to track her next entries and I expect to be able to read her views about Islam more.

Trivia enough that one of early Movable Type bloggers I knew was Al Muhajabah who also wrote topics about Islam; and now Megan is second "new person" connects to me via Vox.
