Since you didn't give any details, I'm sure your question is a joke.
Unless you have good reasons to do so, converting from one religion to another is never a good idea. If you don't have a religion to strart with, that's not converting, that's picking a religion.

I would not convert to Islam but that is because I studied a lot about it.
According to Dr. Walid Phares, taqiyah (dissimulation) is done,
"to prevent the new converts from seeing the real face of Islam; at least until their faith or mental conditioning is strong enough to make them turn against their own country and people."
So, if you are considering conversion to Islam, perhaps you may want to study it thoroughly first.

not unless it is needed for marriage or to blend a family and you are already a believer. I am against religious "conversion" as a rule, I think we should acccept what we are and not try so hard to find a religion we feel is "better" than how we are raised, unless we are raised without a religion at all in which case it is okay to pick one, which is not the same as converting since you weren't anything to start with.

Only if you fully believe in it's beliefs and traditions. If you convert for other reasons, you are betraying yourself and Islam.

Yes, I hear they are giving away free fitness first backpacks and mobile phones. And they send you traing for weeks to learn lots of interesting stuff including how to fly a plane.
Havn't heard much after that, the rest must be top secret.

If you are a childish anti-semite, you're on the right track if you are considering Islam as your way of life.
It's in their little book, people, read it, it's aaaaall there.

Nope. I don't think it's a good idea to convert to any religion.

Could you be more specific? There are a huge number of sects.
If it's spiritual guidance you want, you might find what you're looking for from a number of religions.
