why is it so difficult for non muslims to accept the fact that many prominent people decide islam is the right choice for them as opposed to some form of christianity?is it because they are showing their grief over losing some flock?seriously now,why do people call former christians like cat stevens,yvonne ridley,yusef estes and many more,why do the christians call them stupid,backward,ignorant now but when they were christians they were the light of their society's.

Dude, Im not muslim and im not christian either but I have greater respect for your religion than I do christanity. Many Christains make a mockery of religion by their inbred way that they have been taught. I have met many muslims before, I have chatted to them about their religion and guess what, they dont try to convert me. Conversations that I have had from Christians though end very abruptly when either im told im going to hell or they try to convert.

I would not generalize that to all Christians - ignorance isn't race , gender, religious beliefs, or political affiliation specific either-
Ignorance is contagious and seems to be more and more rampant. It really is based on the individual though - the fact that they are such a conformist they will grab onto anything to feel like they mean something in this world or just for the sake of attention. I think people are just so damn worried about everybody else's beliefs and simply forgot the concept to live and let live. Really.

The stereotype made about the Muslims being backward, barbaric, and ignorant is wats portrayed by Hollywood movies to make muslims look bad and get a bad name.. but they are not like that at all.. the U.S. does the same thing to anyone who crosses its road, be it muslim, or japanese or russian or french... u get the point.

just take a look at the history, the righteous have always been less as compared to their opponents & dont forget it was the true belivers of Christ(a.s) that were called heretics. Islam is the completion of all religons, so don't bother with people who do not accept it. They are scared, of loosing their worldly power, thats it.

Christians would not grieve over some loss we feel, but we would grieve for that person having lost his eternal salvation, which can only come through faith in Jesus Christ (Y'shua hamashiach). Why is it so difficult for Muslims to realize that their religion of Islam was late in coming and is only a counterfeit of Judeo/Christian faith?
If you want the original, you have to go back to the beginning.

I'm not one of those christians. Some people just like to hate on others for no reason.

Good question! Yes, there's a lot of prejudice against ppl converting to islam. They shouldn't be mocked but respected if their choice was built on free will.

People are only comfortable with what they know. They think it's blasphemy when someone takes a step back and says "Now wait a minute, let me see everything first before I know what's true."

The same reason any group calls another group anything...
Ignorance and lack of contact with that group.
