I'm not sure whether this belongs in the family issues or not, but I'll start with posting it here.
I'm a minor that's part of a Christian family in a Christian town, and the nearest mosque is an hour away in the big city. The closest Shia mosque is two hours away. My mom has been wondering why I'm learning about Islam, and I just say that I'm learning, because I am, but she keeps asking if I'm going to convert. I avoid answering, but I know in my heart that I want to, need to let the world know that I worship Allah, the one and only. But I'm not one to argue with my mom, and she tells me how Islam is a male dominated religion. I know that it's not, but how do I explain that? I'm not good at defending my side of the argument, but if I'm to maintain my family's trust, I must have a good defense of this religion that's based in facts, not just my or another's opinion. Thank you for your support throughout the couple of days I've been here.
