Hey. Seriously. I like you. In a non creepy way. You're a smart girl. But you are young as well. So stop it with the BS Rashna. You are seriously giving brownie points to Christianity? You're serious? Have you even checked the history? Have you been around fundamentalist Christians?
All religions suck balls.
Some just suck a smaller set of balls.
Religions are sectarian by nature. The enlightenment makes Christianity submit and go wailing back into its corner of shame. That's why its so docile. Look at ex-Christians on youtube and read Christian comments. Not so docile are they? Its the purpose of missionary to invite people kindly into their fold.

I know Christianity's sordid history, the thing is people do not live in history, they live in the present. At present, for whatever reason, Christianity
is docile. Today, it does have elements in its culture which make it preferable to Islam.It isn't perfect,still has many faults but it
is preferable.
In case of Britain, you only have to compare the Christians Catholics & Anglicans to the Muslims.
All I said was that, many British Muslim women would feel immensely attracted to this religion as its currently practiced. It would seem to them to be offering everything their faith doesn't-freedom, opportunities & gender equality.
People don't always take an elaborate history lesson pre converting, or even read about how the religion is practiced currently, its often an emotional decision.
Thus, a Christian British woman meets a rich, handsome Saudi Sheikh, & reverts, forget history, she might not even be concerned about present laws in her husband's country. Likewise, many people alienated from their societies with pent up rage become Muslims in jail, when they make good Muslim buddies.
Similarly, the good qualities which Christianity displays in the present age & the cultures which follow Christianity presently, namely the West, might make many Western Muslim women consider the faith.
However, the freedom which a British Anglican woman had to marry a Muslim & convert to Islam is far greater than the freedom a Muslimah has to quit her birth religion , which explains much, if not all, of the discrepancy in numbers.
