Yes as one person who converted said Christianity cannot answer all these questions.. And Islam did
His words were....
I know what some of the 'born again's are saying as they read this: "The message of salvation of Jesus Christ!" - "He died for your sins!" - "He paid the price of redemption." - "He is the Risen Son of God!" - "Jesus is LORD!"
Right. - I got that.
I preached that message myself and thought I understood it as well as anyone else did. The problem is that one time I heard another preacher say: "Don't leave your brain in the parking lot with your car."
Then it hit me to start thinking about the very serious problems and real facts about my religion. Then came:
THE QUESTIONS NOBODY WANTS TO ANSWER -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What about the Bible? Who actually wrote it?
What was the original language of the Bible? (Hebrew? Aramaic? Koine Greek?)
NOTE: - The Bible was never in English during the time of any prophet (not even Muhammad) - because English did not exist until after 1066 AD!
Does the Bible exist in the original form anywhere on earth? (No)
Why does the Catholic Bible has seven (7) more books than the Protestant Bible?
Why do these two Bibles have different versions of the same books?
Why are there so many mistakes and errors are from the very first verse right up to the very last verse?
Why do 'Born Again Christians' teach concepts that are not from the Bible?
There is no word "Trinity" in the Bible in any version of any language
The oldest forms of Christianity do not support the 'born again' beliefs
Jesus of the English Bible complains about the 'crucifixion'
("Eli! Eli! Lama sabachthani? - My God! My God! Why have You forsaken me?") [Mk 15:34]
How can Jesus be the "Only Begotten Son" of John 3:16? When in Psalms 2:7 David is God's "Begotten Son?"
Would a 'Just' God, a 'Fair' God, a 'Loving' God -- punish Jesus for the sins of the people that he called to follow him?
What happens to people who died before Jesus came?
What happens to those who never hear this message?
What about innocent children who die although their parents are not Christian?
Didn't God create Adam from dirt? -- So, why does he need Mary to make Jesus?
And what about God?
How can God create Himself?
How can God be a man?
How can a man be a God?
How can God have a son?
The Bible says "Seth (is) the son of Adam" and that"Adam is the son of God." [Lk 3:36]
Can't God just forgive us and not have to kill Jesus?
And what about Jesus?
Jesus did not even carry the cross -- Simon Cyre'ne, a passerby did! [Mk 15:21]
Jesus of the Bible was NOT on the cross for longer than six (6) hours -- NOT three days -- (from the 3rd to the 9th hour) [Mk 15:25 & 15:33]
Jesus of the Bible did not spend three days and nights in the tomb -- Friday night - until Sunday before dawn -- is not 3 days and nights!
Jesus DID NOT claim to be God - or even equal to God!
So he asked God to guide him and he was guided to Islam. All the of his questions were answered.

I dont know why the reason u ask these question, is it to make Christians feel bad about it or u just another person trying 2 provoke things. Well whatever it is, the Christian r open 2 those kind of thing, u know? If u wanna convert, then do. If u loose ur faith, then do so.
But u also hav 2 know something, I know in some places, if u convert from Islam 2 Christian, then u will definitely punish 4 it. Funny right? Our teaching of religion is 2 forgive. So why didnt u tell me, why in some country they hav punishment to convert from Islam 2 Christian, while if it is happen the other way around.. the rest of the Christian will pray 4 the person instead.
And also another thing, I infact know people who convert from Islam 2 Christian (a lot of them infact). Some of them were actually used 2 teach Islam (sort of like Priest and Preacher).
And again, they do it secretly... Why? bcause the same reason which I told u b4.
So now, what it is exactly the reason why u asked these question? Cause if u lie, somebody up there will know it. ;-)
Peace.

Are you asking why someone becomes an Islamic priest, or are you asking why a priest from another religion would turn to Islam? The question is unclear.
Also, having a little trouble understanding why you felt the need to type Islam in uppercase.

I suppose this is the answer:
http://www.islamtomorrow.com/yusuf/priests_n_preachers.htm
Priests and preachers who enter Islam have been BORN AGAIN. Yes, anyone from any religion can be born again. I'm a born again Baha'i. These men of the cloth have seen God in Islam, and their eyes have become open, and they have become closer to God than they ever were. Congratulations to them, I'm very happy for them.

After a while, one superstition starts to look very much like another.

because they have been deceived, and probably think Islam is a good thing.
Boy, did they buy a line!
