Antara hobby aku,
adalah mengumpul quotes tentang islam,
especially from the non-believers.
it can be very interesting knowing how non-muslims actually percieved Islam as a religion. Aku akui, hanya segelintir non-muslims yang boleh bagi a good review on Islam, the way they see it.
so everytime aku terjumpa quote yang aku suka, i tend to collect it.
dibawah ini adalah sebahagian dari favorite aku. enjoy!
