I am sorry if you are constantly being nagged at how "wrong" you prayed and you must learn how to pray fast.
I am sorry if people tell you that if you don't pray five times a day, then you're not a good Muslim.
I am sorry if people tell you, guys, that you must grow a beard asap.

I am sorry if people often forget that the prophet's (pbuh) closes friends were converts themselves.
I am sorry for people's stupidity, ignorance and arrogance.
