Is everybody converting to Islam these days? Maybe they were frightened by that Adam Gadahn tape from Al Qaida and thought by converting (reverting as some call it) they would be spared the wrath of Al Qaida's imminent attacks on the US.

As for me, I would be willing to convert if a gun were held to my head like the situation of the FOX news reporters.

What does the tape from Gadahn mean? Does anyone realize that Muslims are supposed to "dawa" "invite others to Islam" before jihad?

According to al-Mawardi an 11th Century Shafi'i jurist:

The mushrikun [infidels] of Dar al-Harb (the arena of battle) are of two types: First, those whom the call of Islam has reached, but they have refused it and have taken up arms.… Second, those whom the invitation to Islam has not reached, although such persons are few nowadays since Allah has made manifest the call of his Messenger…it is forbidden to…begin an attack before explaining the invitation to Islam to them, informing them of the miracles of the Prophet and making plain the proofs so as to encourage acceptance on their part; if they still refuse to accept after this, war is waged against them and they are treated as those whom the call has reached…

In the Hidayah, vol. II. p. 140 (Hanafi school):
It is not lawful to make war upon any people who have never before been called to the faith, without previously requiring them to embrace it, because the Prophet so instructed his commanders, directing them to call the infidels to the faith, and also because the people will hence perceive that they are attacked for the sake of religion, and not for the sake of taking their property, or making slaves of their children, and on this consideration it is possible that they may be induced to agree to the call, in order to save themselves from the troubles of war… If the infidels, upon receiving the call, neither consent to it nor agree to pay capitation tax, it is then incumbent on the Muslims to call upon God for assistance, and to make war upon them, because God is the assistant of those who serve Him, and the destroyer of His enemies, the infidels, and it is necessary to implore His aid upon every occasion; the Prophet, moreover, commands us so to do."

Islam is insidious, it encroaches on a culture slowly and deliberately. You may be interested to read a document which discusses the degrees of Islam in great detail (50+ pages) -- "From dawa to jihad - the various threats from radical Islam to the democratic legal order":

Hahahaha you must be feeling insecure my friend, nobody is converting because of its beliefs, i know one person who converted simply so he could marry the girl he loved.

Just because your religion is inflexible to force Islam on the marriage of muslims to non-muslims doesnt make it true. Infact i would say it looks extremely weak.

Because they are all dirty, spit on the floor, suicide bombing tramps that need to be put down, That scottish girl that went to Pakistan...good riddance....the less muslims in this country the better. And just before you start berating me, would you sit next to a young asian guy with a backpack and a big coat on, on a train, I dont think so. Or if you would, would you put your baby next to him? Didnt think so.

Because it's the Religion of peace "Islam" originated from "salam" which means Peace. Muslim terrorists are ignorants who don't know the true meaning of Islam. It brings you closer to God
