well, people wanted to find of if Islam really taught such things as terrorism. They found out that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism and is in fact a very beautiful way of life. So they embraced it.

sadme,
I think that it is possible that Islam is lying about how many converts they are getting. Either way it wouldn't surprise me.
On one hand they could be getting converts as they say. In the USA many people have turned away from what used to be valued. Such as, instead of clean looking skin, they've gone to piercings and tatoos, wearing clothes that look old and even with holes in them, as brand new. They buy them that way. The art over a few decades now has totally gone grotesque. It's twisted, imperfect, gross. I link that to the state of what man does, his nature trends downward towards destruction.
Now before you accuse me of being a Puritan, I am only making observations. It has nothing to do with judging people, it has everything to do with observation.
So how do I link this to Islam? It's easy, in the US, it's anti establishment to be Islamic, Muslim, whatever. It's Anti Christ to be Muslim. And since the bent of many in our US cultures is to do opposite of what is considered good, they become Muslim. Islam is a trend. You might hope that they take it to heart, and they may act like it throughout the training and lessons. You see, those in the US are very trendy. They do things until it doesn't suit them, or until the next trend comes along.

The reason for the rapid spread of Islam was the attraction that the thinking people developed towards an ideal free from superstition upholding the worship of the ‘One and Only God’, the Creator and the pursuit of His messengers. It was only natural for those thinking people to be drawn to the practice of a faith that sought the path of ‘surrender to God’, at a time when their perceptions were fogged by false deities, and their agents who posed as priests. The ideal of ‘One God, one humanity’, simultaneously put forth by Islam, uproots the parochial beliefs put up in the name of ones birth. The access to the message of ‘one humanity’ experienced by those who were being oppressed in the name of religion and caste, further led to the propagation of Islam. The selfless and sincere lives led by Muslims who migrated different parts of the world for business purposes and the like, also drew the people of those countries to Islam.
To this day, Islam, which occupies the mind of man though manifold noble ways, continues to influence the thoughts and deeds of millions of peoples in all continents around the world, with its sterling ideals.

No. They have to infiltrate to destroy us. And they will. We are too busy being "politically correct." We can't profile them. That's "not right". And this is how they will destroy us. Our own stupidity. How sad.
