I have grown up in western culture and as i grew up watching what little family values and self respect western society has for itself destroying itself sexual through sexual acts that breed aids to other countrys as well and broken family units that destroy the futures of children, without being taught what is and what is wrong .Western society now feeds on the addiction of people (which is abuse)through gambling ,drugs ,government drugs ,advertisers and pornography as i can think of more as well.The west now values the dollar over a healthy society and in the 1950's society valued the family and good work ethic overall .Changing religion is a lifestyle change.What do you think, it is a good idea or not?.A clean home is healthy home,A clean country is a healthy country .

I invite you to read Briggett Gabriel's book "Because They Hate".
See what it's like to become a Muslim and live in a Muslim country like Lebanon.
When you're finished reading, you'll kneel to the ground and kiss whatever nasty mess wasn't swept up last and thank God you were born here.
(The book is her life history as a Lebanese. Just go to the bookstore and read the introduction, or thumb to any chapter at random and read 5 pages. You'll get the picture.)

Why assume that western Cultutre is Christian? Or that Western culture is based on Christian values. Religion is a lifestyle. Christain and Muslism both make mistakes. People are not perfect regardless of religion. Become the person who has the values that you want to see in society. Look at the claims of each religion and judge for yoursleves. If you are wrong there are serious consequences

Very interesting... but I don't think that converting to another religion will help. Perhaps altering your views within your own might be better. If you sincerely want self enlightenment or actual self mastery I would seek a further East religion perhaps a varient of Hindu would be good.

It is unlikely that you are telling the truth about your faith. Moslems are trained to lie, including impersonation of a Christian, if they think that it will advance their cause. The values of western society do not correspond with Christian values. Your best option is to practise Christianity rather than to practise a false religion.
You say that Western society is destroying itself through sexual acts. The Catholic Church teaches that God forbids sex outside of matrimony and allows marriage between one woman and one man for life. As you noted, many stray from the true practise and that is a mortal sin without repentance and the saving grace of Jesus. Islam allows up to four wives, one or more of which can be 'temporary wives' for a day (prostitutes), rape of children, servants, war captives and non-moslems. Christians recognize and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus did not rape, steal, or make war. Mohamed raped, plundered, and waged wars of conquest. Moslems acknowledge Jesus but reject His teachings in favour of those of Mohamed. Most moslems don't know any better. God is forgiving. You know better. Choose your values carefully and God will judge accordingly.
