Only if they want to... don't force them. Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. The Qur'an says: There is no compulsion in religion.
Congratulations in your conversion... may Allah bless you.

let me tell u one thing very clearly sister -- if u are converting now for the sake of ur husband then better dont convert. sor Allah says that no one should convert for another man/woman. only if they have learnt what Islam and Allah is all about, and if they accept it whole-heartedly. so please if u are planning to convert, then do it for no man but only for God.
second -- ur children have their freewill. they dont have to convert until they wish and cherish to. so there should be no compulsion for them to be converted either for u or for ur husband. if they like Islam after getting to know it, then if they whole -heartedy accept to join Islam they can do it for Allah.
Al-Baqara | 286 verses | The Cow سورة البقرة
Sura #2 | Madina
256 There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
may Allah forgive me if i am wrong. may the peace and blessings of Allah be with us and may He guide us on the right path. may He shower His mercy on us and protect us all from the Hellfire.

I have certainly not met a male convert. I have heard of them, but in no way noticeable one. The reason appears to be marriage. BTW: women can most effective sleep with their husband. It is a universal factor. The big majority of marriages are like this. I, myself subscribe to that, one hundred%.

How can you say that you are a Christian. You are not a Christian! You are not a believer. You do not believe that Christ is the Messiah, or that He died on a cross or that He was resurrected on the third day and ascended into Heaven. Don't call yourself a Christian. Go ahead and be a Muslim, but you're not converting from anything. Do you have any daughters? How does your first husband feel? I hope He objects!

I have under no circumstances met a male convert. I have heard of them, however under no circumstances visible one. The intent appears to be marriage. BTW: ladies can handiest sleep with their husband. This is a common factor. The sizeable majority of marriages are like this. I, myself join that, one hundred%.

Not trying to be mean but it should be your children's choice, not your choice for them. Also, I hope your not converting just because you're married to a Muslim which is for the wrong reason...............I hope it's because you truley believe in the Islamic worship.
Good Luck

After you convert, see what Islam is all about, if you think its the right path to God, then talk to them about it and leave it to them to decide.

Well if you really want to become a Muslim then go for it...it is your life and your choice (technically)...
In that line then do not force your kids to become Muslim. Let them figure out the path that is destined for them...whatever it may be.

no they do not. islam is one of those cool religions that doesnt look down on people who arent muslim. unless they are extremists. which actually a large percent of the muslim population is not. if your children dont want to convert, they dont have to. just tell them to keep an open mind.
and whoever said they will become terroists is a moron

I dont think they should unless they want to. You arent supposed to force one type of religion on anyone. If they are old enough to make the decision themselves then they should. If they arent old enough then wait till they can make the decision for themselves. However i think it is important that they should respect your decision and your beliefs no matter what they choose.
