For muslim converts, why did you convert to Islam?

Answer 1

I was forced to convert to islam.

I was trained about sex at a very young age by muslim men showing me their private parts as and when they could. I am a woman.

I was then abducted and belted if I did not follow islam.

I was sent to work so that the family could be taken care of

I was made to produce more kids, (I adore my kids. This statement has nothing to do with them but with the force used in islam) when there were enough mouths to feed already in the family.

I was tortured and raped.

After I have left islam and this torture, I am still being harrassed and abused in daily life.

I was told I will be stalked by a muslim. This is illegal.

I am back to my original religion now but the actions of muslims in the world haunts me every single day.

The one who converted me to islam was called MOHAMMAD.

Even now, I see it in daily life. Muslims offer all kinds of bribes to non muslims to get into their life and their world and then methods will be used to convert them to islam.

One question that always arises in my mind.

If muslims have rights, dont we, non muslims have any rights whatsoever?

Why does islam torture us? Why do you force us and expect us to take you into our lives? Dont we have the right to live our religion and with dignity?

Why are you always forcing us in one way or another?

Do muslims think they have intelligence or not? It cant be both.

Either you are intelligent or you are not. And if you think you are, then you are insulting my intelligence. If you are not, then how come you have such powers over other intelligent beings?
Is it oil money?

Answer 2

I like to believe 'crazy s' story but its seems to me more like a misadventure on her part and I felt regret for that.

That individual maybe a born Muslim but his behavior is evil.
Islam has nothing to do with this guy.It just not fair to label the whole Muslim as such.

Islam just lost one convert because of this guy.But there are a lot more Muslim converts elsewhere in the world because of the good examples shown by the Muslims majority and the ideal of Islam.

Answer 3

I converted because of my enlightenment to the faith. I was gravely misinformed before about the Islamic faith and once I went to the mosque, started reading the qoran, and following in faith, I realized how wrong I was to have not investigated before I made an opinion of the religion.

Answer 4

Well, for me, I would have to say I was blessed in the way I came across Islam.
My story starts at the end of my senior year of high school. I had started working at a pizza joint owned by Arab Muslims (THE best pizza in town, by the way), however at first I wasn't really all that interested. You know, senior year, graduation, prom, senioritis, graduation parties, prom parties, senioritis parties, lol. Religion was the last thing on my mind.
So graduation came and went, the excitement died down, and the curiosity started settling in. One day I had heard the shyest of the guys listening to a Cat Stevens song, which was amusing to me. He asked if I liked Cat, I told him kinda but he's out of my era. He then told me about Cat's conversion to Islam, the first bit of information that was offered to me without asking, lol (they never came to you with information, they waited until you asked). That's when my questions came, to which they kindly answered. They suggested reading materials and web sites where I could sit down and learn outside of the hectic environment of a pizza place on friday nights, lol. It still took me a while to come to my decision because it wasn't something I just wanted to jump into. I wanted to take some time and serious thought before I made my move. Though with the more that I learned, the more I knew that I would one day make Shahadah.
After about a year and a half of studying, I had met a co-worker's wife who helped me get a better understanding of a woman's role in Islam. She finally invited me to the mosque for Friday prayer. I was so nervous, I don't know why, lol! I asked her if I could borrow a scarf and donned my own sweater and skirt (which I had sewn up the side slit). When I walked in it was absolutely beautiful. I'm not talking about the mosque, I'm talking about the women! There were children and young girls, teens, pregnant women and those with babies, and elderly women who looked well into their 80's, Indians, Pakistanis (which I couldn't tell apart at that time), Arabs, Africans, Asians, and American upon American. We sat listening to the speech given by the imam, which I believe was about accountability and the Day of Judgement. The call to prayer was then made. I stood to the side because I didn't want to interfere, plus I hadn't learned how. So I watched all of these people, the old ladies who suddenly gained the energy and flexibility lacking when I first saw them, the excited young girls who often giggled at their BFFE standing next to them, the Africans and the Arabs and the Asians and the Americans and everyone mingled in creating a rainbow of colors and cultures, all bowing down in unison to the will of God. That night I had decided it was time to act on the passion I had been harboring for a while, I decided it was time to take Shahadah.
I had reflected and realized that Islam embodied everything humane and rational and moral that I believed in. It made total sense to me and I felt that if I don't make Shahadah I would be denying my soul what it yearned. I told my dear friend and she directed me on the pronunciation and I gave my testimony before God. Afterwards I felt alive, I felt my soul was satisfied after a long hunger, I felt my fears and doubts about life vanish, replaced with a comfort only God can provide. I was liberated. And above all, I felt blessed that God gave me the guidance to come to this decision.
