Who wants to convert into Islam?
112169
Any person who declares their faith in Islam these days needs to know they won't be the most popular kid on the block. The tragedy of September 11th, is something that will never be forgotten and unfortuneately it's perpetrators were Arabs. No matter how vehemently any Muslim would seek to explain the differences between true Islam and Arab nationalism, it simply won't wash with your average American. It's all the same in just about everyone's eyes. So whomever is truly seeking to become a muslim nowadays better know, He or she is surely going to be tested for their faith.

This is Shariah law. If a Muslim converts to another religion, they are to be put to death.\n\nThis is where the whole "Islam is a religion of peace" argument gets blown to shreds. They many say the Quran says "Let there be no compulsion in religion", but in reality, Muslims believe in freedom of religion- as long as that religion is Islam.\n\nEDIT: A follow up to the message by Sista: This has everything to do with Islam. Funny you should mention the president of Egypt- the Copts are one of the most persecuted people in the Middle East. If an Egyptian convertsto Christianity, they suffer a similiar fate.

No, You shouldn't be a muslim unless you are totaly sure that this is what you really want, else you would be Monafek(pretender).\nIslam rules say that you must be convinced, mind and heart by your religion before following it, if you are not convinced, don`t follow it at all.\nAs for other religions being condemned to hell, this is not true. Islam says "there is no difference whatspever between one person and the other except how virtuious each one is" and it didn't necissate a religion, just virtue. Also islam say "Religion is how to deal not how to pray" which means that dealing with others nicly and in a just manner is the important thing . And about other religions it says"All prophets are brothers, and their light comes from the same source." it also says" We are all from adam, and adam is but a handfull of dust, only the good deeds remain"\n\nAbout christians it says"And no one will be closer and dearer to the muslims you than those who say'we are true christians' for amongst them there are priests and saints and people who dedicate their lives to Goodness" .\n\nAnd about talking to people about joining islam" Smile and talk to them with the manner they prefer best, and don't be rude or thick at heart else they yould never listen"\n\nAnd as for freedom of choosing one's religion"To each his faith, they have theirs and you have yours and only the mercifull God can judge amongst them"\n\nI hope I answered your question.

They aren't being insulted; you're just trying to attract people who have a persecution complex.  What do you want recruits for, to blow people up?  Too chicken-hearted to do it yourself?  Do you tell your new "converts" that they'll be sentenced to DEATH if they ever decide to leave Islam and choose a different religion?

You need proper guidance. And a better teacher to teach you islam and its background. I dont know why non-muslims always have wrong conceptions about islam.

It seems that conversion by the sword would be a issue here. I think that in Islam that conversion by the sword is part of their tenets. Correct me if I am wrong but I beleive it is part of the Koran. \n\nOften in the middle ages conversion by the sword was practiced by Christian military leaders, in invasions, but I it was never actually part of Christian teaching. \n\nAnybody can do crazy things appealing to their misunderstood belief or religion so that means the playing field in this respect is a level one. But looking at from the points of their beliefs and seeing that one incites violence more than another would give you some idea which is more dangerous.

Steps \nFirst of all rest assured that the path to Islam is very, very simple. \nUnderstand that in Islam one doesn't convert, one reverts. In Islam every child is born innocent and stays so until puberty, thus all children that die young are taken directly to heaven. So when one 'converts', so to speak, to Islam she/he is actually reverting to their original nature. \nUnderstand as well that in Islam no living being can dictate your salvation, it's a matter soley attributed to God. \nCarefully consider whether, in your heart, you are willing to commit yourself to this religion (Islam). \nNow comes the essential part of reversion. Say as best as you can "Ash-hadu ana la elaha illah-Allah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasul-Allah". The English translation bieng: "I bear witness that there is no deity (none truly to be worshipped) but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God". And you don't even need witnesses, God is you witness. \nImmediately upon becoming a muslim, you should take a bath or shower, to purify yourself. In Islam, hygiene is essential. \nYou should now offer your first prayer to God. If you're not sure how exactly the prayer goes just do your best, in Islam the road to heaven is paved with good intentions. \nNow you should study and act upon the five pillars of Islam: Testimony of Faith (mentioned in number 5), the five Prayers, Fasting (in the month of Ramadan), Charity, and Pilgrimage (once in your lifetime for those who have the means). \nYou should also study and believe in the Six Articles of Faith: Belief in God, his angels, his messengers (from Abraham to Mohammed), his revealed books, the hereafter, and fate. \nCongratulations! You made it! You have now become a Muslim. \n\n\n\nTips \nTry to associate only with a moderate knowlegeable Muslim in order to learn more about your newly acquired faith. \nListen to the Quran recitation in Arabic while reading the English translation. \nRead the book, The Forty Hadiths, to sample a few of the prophetic sayings. \nVisit the websites of reverts to Islam, Muslim singers, writers, etc... to get a feel of this huge community of 1.5 billion people.

You are talking about two different religions, Islam and Christianity ... I know it's confusing, would be so nice if everyone could just accept the other for who they are and live together huh?

I don't think it's a case of that many people converting to Islam.  It seems to me that Muslims have been here for ages and that world events of the last 10 years have thrust them into the spotlight.\n\nI don't think the US is becoming Islamic.  I also don't necessarily like to define our country by religion.  Yes, we were built on Christian values, but from the start we have embraced FREEDOM of religion.

Islam grows rapidly because people in Muslim nations are forced to convert or die.
