I appreciate the sincerity in your question. To become Muslim it is very easy; some people may already be Muslims (those who submit to God's will) and not even know it. You must say "There is no God but God" (and Muhamad is His prophet). The great thing about Islam is that it encompasses a large range of interpretation; some women wear veils, others don't. Not all men have beards etc. The main thing (and the best part of Islam) is our main text and Holy Book (the Koran). Unfortunately people have permeated hadiths (sayings of the prophet, some of which may be fabricated; as they were collected by humans) into our lives. I urge you to independently seek the truth and be the decider of what you hold to be true. I've met great Muslims, Christians and Jews. I pray the God leads you (and myself) to the right path. Amen and peace be on you

Yes, it is easy.
Christians and Muslims are already closer then any other religous people, as they both believe in Jesus. But the difference is; that Muslims believe that Jesus is a human being and one of the great prophets of God.
All one has to do is firmly believe in their heart and mind with their own free will without any compulsion from others; to bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah (the One true God, the Creator of everything that exists) and that Muhammad is His last and final Prophet and Messenger. That Jesus is a man and a Prophet. This is the fundamental.

YES..it is easy because they are heavenly messages which all are decendants from the Abrahamic faith...we have many common points;however, we do have some differences as well... to be a Muslim,u gotta be a tolerant peace-loving person who has mercy upon all living creatures,even plants and animals :)
you'll have to believe that there is no God but Allah(God) and that prophet Muhammad pbuh is his messinger and start practicing the Islamic pillars
You'll have to be in peace with urself even b4 others coz pureness of the heart is an important condition inorder to be tolerant and merciful with ppl ... find a good company which helps u to stay on the right path and encourage u to stay away from sins..and even if u did any sin,as long as there is still air in ur lungs then u can repent and God will forgive coz He is the most Merciful :)

You are welcome to muslim,there is some varbal and internal faith,varbaly you have to tell there is no God except Allha and prophet Mohammed {pbuh}is the messanger of Allha.And you have to belive strectly your life and death,your deeds,everything Allha is looking, you can,t do anything wrong, you have to follow Quran and hadis, you can,t make hurm for humanity,always you remember islam is a religion of peace and your every deeds Allha is looking.After death you have a judgement for your deeds which you did in your life time,for your good deeds Allha probide you heaven and bad deeds put you in hell fire.And there is some duties for muslim must do like 5 times prayer,one month fasting in a year, if you are wealthy perproms Haj once in a life time and giving Jakat {money} for the poor people.Islam is a true religion.You have to face so many difficulties now a days people don,t like anything true,you will suffer maney2 problems,before comming muslim think about it.Christian always blame to muslim.

first of all not all Muslims love to kill it's only a stereotype as for changing from Christianity to Islam it's easy the first thing you have to do is say the fallowing verse truly from your heart "there's no god but Allah and Mohamed peace be upon him is the messenger of Allah" and then after that you should look for a mosque it's like a church but in Islam and you should ask for the leader of that mosque called "imam" and tell about your story. he should be able to teach you what Islam is based on and how to practice it correctly. remember Islam is a peaceful religion.
if you don't have any Muslim mosques around your area you could e-mail me at bat1012@hotmail.com and i will try to answer your questions

In order to become a Muslim, all you must do is to "truthfully"
recite the words "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet." three times. Then just tell your friends & family and you are offically a Muslim.
However, after you become a Muslim, you must follow the 5 pillars of Islam, including making a Hajj/pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in your life.
However, I suggest you become a Deist. Deism; belief in God should be based upon science, reason, and logic. The Supreme Being has created the universe perfectly, thus the fundamental laws and nature of the universe remains constant and unmutable.

Yes , you only have to say There is no God ( Worthy worship ) expect Allah (The God ) and the Mohammad ( peace be upon him )is his slave and messenger . If you say it by heart not only by tongue then you became a Muslim and the God forgives all your sins. Islam is the same like Christianity the only different is that Muslims believe that Jesus ( peace be upon him ) was Just Allah slave and messenger.Islam mean Submit to God alone . Peace

U r just curious...
as am I....
but I have ur answer....
Yes! It is very easy to change from a Christian to MUSLIM...
If one wants to be a Muslim,
he will have to go to a mosque..
There he will have a small session of dos & donts of Islam...
Then U will have to take Ghusl(purifying bath)....
Then U will say the Kalmah Tayyab[Laa Ilaaha illallahu Muhammadur Rasoollallah]
meaning...
There is no god but Allah & Muhammad[pbuh] is HIS Holy Prophet.
Simple is that!

First let me correct your question. The right word here to use is " Muslim Reverts ". A Non-Muslim is reverted to Islam but not changed. According to Holy Q'uran, Every human being by birth is a Muslim. Muslim means, " One Who Submits His Will To Allah(SWT) ".
If that child is born to a Non-muslim then that child owns the religion of his father after certain age unfortunately.
Now the answer for your question. The only condition for a Non-muslim to revert to Islam is that, he has to say from his heart the Kalima " LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAAH MUHAMMADUR RASOOLULLAAH " . This means, " There is None Worthy Of Worship But ALLAH(SWT) & MUHAMMED (PBUH) is ALLAH (SWT) Messenger ".
If you say this then only u r reverted to Islam. Thats it.
