Regarding standard of education, how much you wanna bet that although you say you are not from America, you live there?
As for Islam, you may not agree with their religion, but who says that this is enslavement? Last time I looked, people still had choices.
You're just a crusty, old, disease invested, discriminatory individual looking for attention! But hey, that is what freedom of speech (and freedom of religion) is all about! So power to you bro, but don't be asking for any grain of respect from me!

Some Americans? You mean millions. Is the standard of education where you are from very low then, you cannot follow the religion you wish to. I feel really sorry for you. Perhaps you should come to American, the land of the free and not remain a slave where you are

You have a very low opinion of Americans and the Islam and thus I must assume you are the one with no education.
America is the home of the brave and the free, this includes religion. Unlike your arrogant statement implies, not all people that convert to the Islam are extremists.

Americans have been slaves since roughly the last half ot the 19th Century, even more so since the Federal Reserve Act, income tax and Social Security. That some people might convert to Islam for delusional reasons is no surprise, though modern Christianity is equally delusional (but less violent).

Of course there are some people converting to Islam. It's nothing to do with being a slave, it's just people changing their mind. It's no different than some people becoming Christian, Bhuddist, atheist, Jewish, Scientologist, Wiccan or whatever else. This happens independently of education level.
This is what it means to be free. You can believe what you want with no pressure from the government and no matter whether I agree with you or not.

Americans have been converting to Islam for decades. I'm not a follower of Islam, but I have done my research and it isn't that much more restrictive that any of the other Judeo-Christian religions. How about you do a little research before you ask another question.

It's a big country with a lot of viewpoints and a lot of religions.
And, according to the Constitution, all those religions and viewpoints are just fine.
Every day, Christians convert to Islam, Muslims convert to Christianity, Jews convert to Hinduism, Catolics convert to Scientology, people who used to be religious become atheists, and atheists get religion. I wouldn't be surprised to hear about Jews converting to Islam and Muslims converting to Judiasm.
That's better than having the government tell us that we have to go to a church, mosque or synagogue, that we have to pray -- and to a particular god.
That's freedom.

America is a country of free choice, and freedom of religion. We have people on a daily basis converting to all sorts of religions. For instance, they are now opening a new religious facility for the Wicca religion in my own town. It's not a matter of becoming slaves, it's a matter of allowing people whatever choice they desire most.

Freedom implies the right of individuals to practice religions of their choice .By your implication,Islam means enslavement of Muslims. NO don't let us descend into the pit of ignorance. Your choice of religion is determined by your birth into a particular family with a particular religion and changes from personal convictions; more than the standard of education of the country.I wish to know your country , type of religion practiced there and the standard of education in your country breeding religious bigots.

Yes it is true. One of my coworkers converted. America does not love to be free. I know, I live here. They love to be dictated by religion. Just look at our currency. Drive in any town and count the Churches. Walk in any street of NY and listen to the people preaching.
Freedom from religion is a joke.. It is not happening.
