West is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography.

West is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is the opposite of east and is perpendicular to north and south.

By convention, the left side of a map is west.

To go west using a compass for navigation, set a bearing or azimuth of 270°.

West is the direction opposite that of the Earth's rotation on its axis, and is therefore the general direction towards which the Sun sets.

During the Cold War "the West" was often used to refer to the NATO camp as opposed to the Warsaw Pact and non-aligned nations. The expression survives, with an increasingly ambiguous meaning.

Moving continuously west is following a circle of latitude, which, except in the case of the equator, is not a great circle.

What is a reason for anyone in the West to convert to Islam?
Q. In the west we like little things in life, like music, pork, hanging pictures on our walls, freedom to be in public wearing tee shirts and shorts, not worrying about if our pants go below our ankles, etc. But in Islam, all of that is forbidden! Not to mention they kill people who are gay or convert away from Islam. So why would anyone in the West who enjoys freedom convert to what looks like a highly repressive belief?

A. When you see even priests converting to Islam, and Islam growing as fastest religion of US, it just shows that people have been discovering the truth, and instead of face of Islam painted by media and terrorists, they have begun to understand the real spirit and message of Islam. Jesus , Moses, Mohammad (peace be upon them), they all worshiped the same God, the God of Ibrahim (pbuh). All prophets taught "surrendering one's will to God" that is the meaning of word "Islam". JAMES 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Muslims love Jesus (pbuh), they believe in his miraculous birth with the will of God without a father or sexual act (the way Adam was born without a mother and father), , they… [cont.]

A. The important thing with really valuable items is to place them somewhere where their true value is appreciated. This is not often the case online. You would do much better in obtaining good value by contacting a reputable auction house that can appraise your items realistically and put them up for auction where people interested in your items are certain to be present.
