Cara anak muda Amerika menyebarkan Islam...

Franklin baru bersyahadat sebulan yang lalu.
Dia sekarang aktif mengikuti kajian Islam pada The Islamic Forum for new / non Muslims yang saya asuh di Islamic Cultural Center New York. Subhanallah, pekan pertama dia menjadi Muslim, pemuda hispanic (keturunan Amerika Selatan) ini sudah membawa 2 orang temannya ikut bersyahadat. Satu orang gadis hispanic, satu orang lagi pemuda Yahudi.


Dalam hati saya bertanya-tanya, apa saja yang dia bicarakan kepada teman-temannya itu, sampai mereka tertarik ikut bersyahadat. Pertanyaan saya itu kemudian terjawab. Beberapa hari lalu, saya dikiriminya transkrip percakapan internet(chatting) nya dengan seorang pemuda lain di New York upstate. Dilakukan jam 1 dini hari! Kegigihannya dalam meyakinkan orang, bahwa Islam itu cool (keren) bikin saya tersipu-sipu. Gayanya funky khas anak muda. Berikut ini terjemahan percakapan mereka. FishermenComics adalah Franklin, sedangkan SHOCKWAVE886 adalah kenalan barunya. Ada bagian-bagian yang saya hapus (*********** ) karena alasan kebaikan.

FishermenComics [1:12 AM]: Hei, apakabar Teman
SHOCKWAVE886 [1:12 AM]: siapa ini?
FishermenComics [1:12 AM]: Saya, Franklin Taveras yang Agung
SHOCKWAVE886 [1:12 AM]: siapa?
FishermenComics [1:12 AM]: kita belum pernah kenalan
FishermenComics [1:13 AM]: kamu tinggal di New York ‘kan?
FishermenComics [1:14 AM]: kamu percaya Tuhan?
SHOCKWAVE886 [1:15 AM]: yeah saya percaya
FishermenComics [1:15 AM]: keren

Hi Guys, are you an English teacher? You can try playing these activities in your classroom. I always use them in my class, too. Enjoy teaching.. 1. Hang Man Everybody loves to play games in class. Many of us will remember times during school when the teacher would play a games on the board in order to keep the class interested. It seemed a lot more fun than doing normal work, and with  adults  this is no different.  Hangman  involves the students having to guess a particular word. You think of a word, and draw a line of blank boxes on the board which indicate how many letters the word has. Students then ask for clues to the word, and then add letters. For every letter they get wrong, a body part is drawn. Once the picture is complete, the man is “ hanged ” so to speak and they lose. If they win, however, the entire word will be spelled out on the board. Undoubtedly this is a great way of practicing English and getting the class involved. 2....
