Is Islam Is Wrong, Why Do So Many People Convert To It?

Question

So many people convert to Islam each year, but no Muslim has ever converted to any other religion. Doesnt that prove the correctness of the religion? Islam is the most peaceful religion, all terrorists use religion as an excuse.

Answer 1

Islam would never be wrong sis

Answer 2

You say that "no Muslim has ever converted to any other religion" but i know of some who have. You do not hear of them as much as you hear of other people converting to Islam because it is often very difficult for people to leave Islam even if they do not believe in it any more.

In many Islamic countries there are Sharia laws against "apostasy" which mean that a Muslim who converts to another religion can be punished as a criminal, sometimes with the death penalty. Even when such laws have not been passed, Muslims who convert face being rejected by their family and friends, and are discriminated against in other ways.

If Islam is so good and so correct, why do they need laws and punishments to stop people from leaving that religion? Surely if something is good and true, that should be enough of a motive for those who sincerely want to follow that religion.

I am not anti-Muslim, but i disagree with the approach of forcing a religon on people who do not want it. Islam is not the only religion to have done that, some Christians also did it, and may yet do it again. All that shows that they have the wrong idea about God. God wants followers, but he wants people who follow him because they want to, not because they are forced to. That is why Adam and Hawa had the choice to eat from that tree in paradise. They made the wrong choice, but they had the coice and it was given to them by God. God values freedom of choice.

What about those millions of moderate Muslims who are reconsidering their faith after Sep 11 perpetrated by some devout and true Muslims? Many moderate Muslim-origin Americans even feel tremendously ashamed and embarrassed to identify themselves as Muslims.
Many Muslims do convert to Christianity. However, Muslim’s conversion to Christianity never get to the news media for fear of being apostate and killed by the “merciful” Islamists. People convert to a religion for various reasons, such as, economic supports, for mental spiritual satisfaction, and even for marital purposes.
Who counts those Muslims, who either convert themselves to Christianity or just give up their faith in Islam silently? Does the number really matters? Christianity has over 2 billions followers, almost double the number of Islam. Does it make Christianity a better religion,or any other religions? And what do you think is there still something left to be proud about Islam? Don't delude yourself by thinking that Islam is the greatest religion of Peace.

The talk of power, with the younger people the thought of being in control, to fight and kill attracts all sorts, and of course it's in the news a lot, it offers false promises, in has no more prove that most other religions, and some of is run by mad men, you are wrong in saying it is the most peaceful religion by a long way, but the Christian and the roman Catholic have been bad over the years, but at this time i would say Muslim are the worst, not all because some of my closest friends are Muslim, and they are often ashamed of their fellow Muslims for what they do.

Answer 5

First off if Scientology is such a screwed up cult why do so many people convert to IT? Because it preys on humans psychological weakness.

And many religions have and continue to claim that they are the fastest growing religion, even if it where true it doesn't prove truth it only prove that X amount of people believe. You want people to accept your form of God simply by telling the, "Look how many others have accepted". It is shameful to try to peer pressure people to your way of thinking. LOOK everyone else is doing it, that is why you should too, not because you studied and learned about it just because the whole crowd did it too.

People already know that terrorist are the most devout of the Muslims so don't try to sell us on the idea that they are twisting the verses.

Every other Muslim is twisting logic and the verses to keep their humanity.

Muslims kill other Muslims with the excuse that they are not Muslim enough. They come to America and can easily pretend to be peaceful Muslims then bam bunch of dead Americans.

Stop doing PR for Islam on yahoo. Even the illegal immigrants had enough intelligence and balls to go form a rally big enough that the Media had to report on it!!! HINT HINT HINT

Answer 6

I don't think it proves correctness but the brainwashing influence it has...and no I don't mean that in an insulting way because I believe Catholicism to be the same...it does not leave the mind open to question things. If someone converts to Islam they will probably have come from a non religious upbringing and they will have spent years searching for God, asking questions and lucky for them Islam has the answers they wanted to hear...Terrorism is not based on religion but hatred and fear and a bit of schizophrenia. Happy New Year to you and all

Answer 7

I know of at least two Muslims who converted to Christianity. I am no authority on this field but I would say that if I know two, there must be a few others. Satan has a lot of influence in this world. Take a look around at all of the atheists and other non-Christians running around here that think they "have religion". GOD will judge. Have a great day.

Answer 8

People join a religion because they agree with what that religion preaches. However, like with people in every religion, some don't always stick to what that religion preaches themselves.

Terrorists who use their religion as a reason to do certain things need to realise that their religion hasn't been attacked. It's individual people who happen to be of that religion.

Answer 9

Considering I am a muslim, there is a prayer to be said that once you convert you don't change to any other religion.Some people do convert out of the religion but rarely.Radical muslims(terrorists) believe its ok to kill any non-muslims so every can be muslims which is totally wrong.Regular muslims are taught to respect everyone's religions and beliefs.

Answer 10

um how do you know no muslim has ever converted out of the religion? are you just proving to us that islam is such a limiting religion that there is no possibility of someone converting out of it

and numbers don't prove anything, stop advertising your religion

Answer 11

Time proves all things. The conversion of a majority of Germans to the facism of Nazi Germany did not and does not validate its means methods or doctrine, for just one example. It was an anomaly of time which time itself corrected. For the winds of consensus have never been indicators of the direction of truth but rather the shipwrecked beaches of tyranny, anarchy , and the chaos of mobacracy with its inherent violence and judgement.
