ust opinions and things I've observed, as well as a minor rant. You may correct me if I'm wrong1- Is Islam really the fastest growing religion in the U.K or in the world?
That's actually not really that much once you think about it. Also Islam blatantly denies those who leave. I'm confident there are apostates of Islam still living as though they were Muslim (like some members of this forum). The numbers are twisted due to the strong bias and strict Islamic laws that prevent someone as so much as questioning Islam. I myself thought Islam was pretty cool with the whole modesty thing as girl. But instead of talking to an imam or other Muslims I tried reading the Qu'ran myself FIRST. It was so mind-numbing and so much bullshit I couldn't imagine that Islam was placed on the same level as Christianity and Judaism. Although I can see why someone can be easily lured by the whole community friendliness and sugar-coated interpretations.
Islam seems really enticing at first but there are a number of stories of converts who leave usually within 5 years. Muslims like to play up their juicy sweet fantasies of white converts while ignoring the youths who are wisening up and leaving Islam to contribute to the sciences and the rest of the developing world.
Also what exactly is a definition of a 'Muslim' there are so many Muslims who don't even follow all the laws, even read the Qur'an in its entirety? Just like the hypocrites of every other religion they only cry God what shit happens and then sin when no one is looking.
So to sum up my answer. I think it's a load of bullshit because there is no number on those who actual leave to balance out that argument. Islam is a fad because its in the news all the time and people are curious to its exotic culture. After a few years its going to die out like a bad fashion statement or a drug that should be illegal. Hey let's be Muslim cause everyone else is doing it.
2- what are the religions that people convert from?
This is what I've heard but don't my word for it.
Christians seem attracted to Islam because they see it as more consistent with its laws. Where Christianity has split into so many different sects with so many different interpretations and lazy religious followers.
Women- Seem to think its a good idea for the whole modesty thing, forgetting that modesty in Islam is equivalent to "Silence woman! Stay in that kitchen and make babies" shrug*
Usually for love or marriage. Many of these converts don't just stroll on in alone. They are more than likely have some Muslim interest they wish to please. -_-; As in in Islam you can't really get married to someone who does embrace the faith. This usually ends pretty badly in most cases.
Everyone else was probably athetist or agnostic looking for some meaning to life and Islam has a concrete idea of what you should do, how you should live your life and strong unchanging claims made in the Qu'ran. On top of that you can't deny that their is a strong sense of community.
3 - Are there any Atheists or Agnostics who converted to Islam?
Like I mentions. People going down bad paths in their life looking for meaning. it happens, once we start having doubts or realizing our death is imminent and we want answers now.
4- we always hear about people who convert to Islam, but rarely hear of who left Islam after they converted to, are there any Statistics about the percentage of Muslims who leave Islam after conversion?
I doubt there will ever be a concrete statistic as leaving Islam is still a very controversy thing and many apostates have and still pay for that with their life. Even in the most moderate of communities it seems as though, the thought of being disowned or shunned by one's own family is equally terrifying. And once a Muslim even so much as thinks as leaving Islam, there is a squad of Imams, scholars etc are on standby to do whatever it takes to feed them more bullshit *cough* I mean answer their questions.
MOST IMPORTANTLY.
Islam likes throwing out these huge numbers to mislead people without backing it up by comparing it with other faiths or people who leave. Then again because these religious idiots have no real concept of how science works, they would never give us some real evidence to back up their claim. (Simple things we usual learn in grade school for how to do accurate unbiased research. You need to get info from all angles)
I'd like to see if anyone knows some info, some statistics of religions of the world in terms of converts or leaving.
P.S I base my opinions by researching both pro-Islamic sites and other websites. if you sompare the two, Islam's claim doesn't seem to hold much water.
