@ Smashed Pumpkin. Write a story that brings good things to the world. If you write about these things, which Islam's opinion you know or can find in the Quran, then you are spreading these thoughts. You should consider yourself a candle as a Muslim. Someone that can guide others and further spread good things. Your character is in despair the story is about a taboo topic in most of the world, even here. What if this encourages sadness? Whoever loses from this will be your loss eternally. And whatever good you spread will be constantly increasing your reward with no decrease to the person who benefiteds rewards. And if they spread good thoughts and actions on you continue to benefit.
There's enough darkness in the world. Be the light. The good. Not the satanic and dirty.
Consider what affects you are leaving. If you are a powerful writer your thoughts will remain with your readers. And you have to consider what you want to be remembered for. What will you be rewarded for?

Take care. I pray that we are both guided to the straight path and we can meet in jannatal firdous.
Maybe not bashing, but you are really twisting it. This idea s making me really sad, and if you did some research that doesn't mean you can do this. If a muslim wrote a twisted story about any other religion they would be criticized to no end. I just want to tell you that this isn't right and you shouldn't mix things like this just to make a "sexy" story. If you can't stop, then change it.
Things I liked: Everything, although that sounds completely cheesy. I love the fact that Frank is Muslim and so is his family, that was actually the main reason I read this story. I also love Frank's personality. He seems very down to earth and appreciative, his character is very easy to relate to.
I have nothing I didn't like. It was only the first chapter and there wasn't anything I'd change about it.
i'm actually muslim. my parents are muslims but they're not against music like you mentioned in your story. we, muslims, in fact, are pretty open-minded. i'm glad you brought up islamophobia because i'm confuse with islamophobes. why are they scared of us? we, muslims, love peace. we always come in peace. and they always symbolize islam with terrorism. they're just misunderstanding. it's true that muslims aren't allowed to be gay because our god created every creatures in this world in pairs. and men are paired with women not with another men. so are women. i'm wondering, why were you interested in writing story about frank being muslim? it's a fantastic story. probably the most intriguing fan-fiction i've ever read.
Sorry it took me a while to check this story out, but ... I am 100% in love with this story. ♥ (You can't escape my size 300 text. :tehe:) I know you've only written one chapter, but seriously; it's AMAZING! It's so unique ... and you're such a good writer. I know I've said it before, on your other stories, but I speak the truth. I'm addicted to YOUR stories. I've NEVER read a muslim-based Frerard before, and this interests me extremely, especially since I'm living in a muslim country at the moment, and therefore have a few arabic and muslim friends. I can't wait for another chapter .. seriously .. update when you can. :hug: :arms:
omg this is amazing, i'm actually a muslim, i like both men & women, i own a dog, i speak mainly english (& some french & german) well i'm no longer follow the religion as much because i didn't really like the aspects of the religion & the way terroism has portrayed it, but i believe in equality & that allah, god, dieu & whatever you call god are all one & i prefer not to be defined by a religion & plus i don't like the sexist & homophobic aspects of it & the way people use religion in wars, racism & hate and also the people in at mosque treat me like shit & i wasn't happy, i really hated it & i had to move to 5 mosques within 7 years, so i left after i was 15 & then i started to listen to MCR & rock music that saved me from the dark lonely part of life
I really like it. I really liked the religious belief you gave Frank, for I have never seen it in any other story, so it makes me even more eager to read because of its originallity, and I think it very admirable that you did research for this story instead of just winging it. I can't wait for another update =]
It may sound a bit biased... but I can't find anything wrong with this chapter. Personally, I just love it, even though there's only one chapter. Amazing in it's own right.
“Don’t… call upon Jesus now” Frank groans half in pleasure half in guilt. His religious roots have left him with respect for his prophets. Unlike Gerard he never uses Jesus or God in vain; they are supposed to be worshipped not cursed.
I loved that. I don’t know why, but I did. It just shows how much Frank cares about his religion, even standing up for it while they’re...yeah.
I can’t really think of anything I absolutely did not like. I’m just a bit confused that the description says he meets a beautiful stranger, and...he’s already met Gerard. Obviously. I expected Frank to be Muslim, refuse that he likes boys, meets Gerard, he changes that. So that confused me a bit, but I’m sure it was intentional. And I can’t wait for more. Great job.
