I think the first two people who answered your question and mamar give you the reasons people convert to Islam.  They hate the God of Christianity, they are ignorant of the history of Muhammed, and they find ways to convince themselves that being a murderer and pedophile was actually morally OK.

It is not the act of converting or following a religion that is the problem.  You assume that following Christianity, or any religion, somehow makes a person a better human being.  There is plenty of evidence to the contrary.  Those who behave in the manner you described are hypocrites, which is a sin in most religions.  Just because a person calls himself a good Christian, Jew, Muslim, etc. doesn't make it so.\n\nThose that truly follow the fundamentals of their faith should understand their obligation to strive to be the best person they can be... to have concern for the welfare of others and not just themselves... to be thankful for what we have... and to actually behave like human beings, rather than animals.\n\nDo we wish for a return to the laws of the jungle, or will we actually use the brains were endowed with?  Tolerance and respect for each other would go a long way toward making the world a better place.

HELL NO! That's a very broad generalization. How do you know it was a muslim? Maybe he was just making fun. Don't jump the gun because of it. I probably would have said the same thing, or something similar. Does that make me a cruel muslim?\n\nThe person's name was "homer simpson"....there's no way to tell if he was muslm by that.

One must remember, that in Islam, unless you are a true believer, you are not consider worthily of any truth.  Therefore you may be lied to, killed and held to a different set of laws.  The freedom of speech that seems to be going around about Islam is only that in which the Mullahs allow you to speak.  There is none to speak of and there is only death to those that commit any type of unkind talk about Mohammad.

Do you mean Michael Jackson?  He moved to Bahrain and supposedly has converted to Islam.  His brother Jermaine had converted to Islam already years before.

According to What I know of Islam It is to cut temptations of the flesh, but yet they also look down on wemon, Doesn't make much sense to me either. \n  On the man made If you can find the real facts about its founder it is amazing what Mohaumd (I don't know the right spelling of his name) did, and I mean wrongfully in his life.

somebody had to tell the truth. Pope said it.\nyes, truth hurts. especially if you are a muslim.\nbecause in deeds all muslims do is the most dirtiest of all.\n\nfools venture to (go) where angels fear to tread. i want to change that to:\nmuslims venture to (go) where even satans fear to tread.\n\nthey have put satan to shame in killing, violence and mayhem though out the world. what surprises me more is that they kill their own fellow men in the name of thier own god and book. this is unheard of anywhere in civilized societies.

Yes he was a great man, he could commit so much evil things and yet he is revered till this very day!He is an inspiration to all pedos, killers,sex maniacs, terrorists and perverts because Mohammed was a pedophile, he killed his enemies, he had harems of many innocent women, he murdered then raped and plundered.\nToo bad he didn't have bombs to strap on himself.

i didn't learn about islam on yahoo. i learned about islam from the actions of the followers of islam.. from the state of the countries that are majority muslim. I would rather die than convert to islam or live under backwards islamic laws. \nIslam MUST reform.\none can cleary see that most majority muslim countries are uneducated, poor, have a high percentage of illiteracy, are lacking basic freedoms of religion, press, voting, are dictatorships.

YOu have to look at what Islam teaches you.\nFor jut a moment, disregard what others tell you about the violence people are accusing islam of.\n\nIslam teaches to respect life. IT is forbidden to harm anything, human, plant, insect, animals for no reason\n\nIT is forbidden to lie, backbite.\nIts a duty of every muslim, to help the needy, the poor, orphans, visit the sick.\n-Be good to ones neighbour.\n-Vist others and have food with them, regardless of faith.\n-Respect others faith, muslim or not.\n-Have patience, and enjoin the good, forbid the evil\n-Believe in one and only one God.\n-It is forbidden to commit any sort of crime, robbery.\n-Do not hurt another person, physically or emotionally.\n-Respect ones parents to the utmost- do not talk back to them, do not talk loud infront of them, walk behind them as a sign of respect.\n-Acquire knowlege, \n-Use this life in the most beneficial way possible.\n-Society and house manners should be maintained.\n-Be humble and have humility, do not be arrogant.\n\nSo you see, Islam is a beutiful religion, and it teaches one to be good and humble.\n\nAs for the violence, its a shame that some muslims do not understand the rules of Islam and tend to interprete it themselves the wrong way.\nYou cannot really blame the religion for how its followers are not following it correctly.

read the truth and do the research. Islam is not now and never was a peaceful religion. it was founded by a liar and thief who used made up visions to promote his own agenda. The man was a pedophile and rapist. For your own sake, read your own texts, These official works include: the Sira, Ta'rikh, Hadith, and Qur'an. Ishaq's Sira, or biography, called Sirat Rasul Allah, provides the lone account of Muhammad's life and the formation of Islam written within 200 years of the prophet's death.\n\nThere were no miracles to prove Muhammad's claim of being a godly conduit. There were no healings, walking on water, parting seas, raising folks from the dead, or feeding multitudes. And there are no fulfilled prophecies, like the exacting and detailed predictions that Biblical prophets routinely made to demonstrate their divine authority. But the most troubling part about our absolute reliance on Muhammad's testimony that he and his Qur'an were divinely inspired is that the prophet's character was as deficient, and his life was as despicable, as anyone who has ever lived.\n\nFollowing his first Qur'anic revelation, Muhammad claimed to have been demon possessed. By his own admission, he tried to commit suicide. Those who knew him best, his family and neighbors, said that he had gone mad. “He is a demon-possessed sorcerer fabricating scripture,” they said, accusing him of plagiarism and of having purely selfish motives. They mocked his prophetic claims, ridiculed his Qur'an, and said that his preposterous notion of turning many pagan idols into the one God was insane. As a result of this verbal abuse, all chronicled in the Qur'an, Muhammad pledged to slaughter his kin.\n\nHaving destroyed the “religion” of Islam in Mecca, Muhammad created the political doctrine of “submission” in Medina. He became a pirate, dictator, and terrorist leader. He used Qur'anic scripture to justify some of the most horrific behavior imaginable: pedophilia, incest, rape, torture, assassinations, thievery, mass murder, and terror—all in an unbridled orgy of sex, power, and money. Again, this summation simply reflects the portrayal documented in the Islamic Sunnah and confirmed in the Qur'an.\n\nWhen he was fifty, Muhammad married a six-year-old child. Then he stole his son's wife. After forcing young girls to watch his men execute their fathers, Muhammad raped them. He tortured his victims to make sure no booty escaped his grasp. He committed mass murder, slaughtering Jews in genocidal rage. In ten years, he ordered a score of assassinations and conducted seventy-five terrorist raids. He used the sword to force Arabs into submission and used the slave trade to finance Islam. He was more interested in collecting girls and taxes than anything else. He ruled through fear. And his god condoned it all.\n\nAlas, Islam was not all murder, plunder, and lust. There was war. Tabari VII:105 “In this year there was the expedition of the Messenger to Uhud. In year three of the Islamic Era (March, 625) the Quraysh were provoked against the Messenger because he had killed their nobles and chiefs at Badr.”\n\nThe Meccans had witnessed the prophet's demented behavior at the pit. “Muhammad has bereaved us and killed our best men. So help us defend ourselves against him and perhaps we will obtain vengeance for those he has slain.” They wanted to prevent the onslaught from continuing. Yet today, Muslims raise shrill voices protesting that Uhud was proof that the Meccans were the aggressors and that Muhammad was forced into defending his flock. But their own scriptures say otherwise, putting Islam in a difficult position. If these Hadiths are accurate, their prophet was a warmongering terrorist and a ruthless pirate. But if these Traditions are not true, they have no prophet and thus no religion—for nothing else is known about him or of Islam's beginnings.\n\nIslam is a caustic blend of regurgi

If muslims, had adopted the manners and attitude prophet Mohammed passed on to the worlds, shame would over-whelm those who mock him. It is really hard for a good person not to love Mohammed, if they knew what he really wanted for mankind. Its a good reminder for Muslims and non-Muslims alike, that its time to do as prophet Mohammed would have done. Seek peace, understanding, harmony and merciful manners between humans, with one God for all.\n\n"By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been stern and ill-tempered, they would have dispersed from round about you" (translation of Qur'an 3:159) \nAbout himself the prophet (pbuh) said \n"Allah has sent me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of character, refinement of manners and loftiness of deportment." (Malik, Mawatta; Ahmed, Musnad; Mishkat)

Apparently the reformed muslims have rewritten the queeran to be more user friendly.  Muslims still have the problem with the association with the false prophet mohammed.  He was a self admitted child molester and 'married' a 6 year old girl to have sex with her.  He would be arrested in any western culture for doing that.  In muslim cultures, little girls are fair game as long as they have had their first periods.

Christians by and large do not punish people for converting to another religion; they just become disheartened and realize that the person probably wasn't really a born-again Christian. In Muslim societies however, people are brutally punished and sometimes even murdered from converting to Christianity. One of the greatest sins in Islam is denouncing Allah and changing their religion.\n\n Islam is a religion of wickedness.
