5000 woman from the UK converted to Islam last year

Many converting from Christianity.

When asked why she converted from Christianity to Islam one woman said 'to seek the truth'.

When she realizes Islam is also full of hogwash where will she turn next?

It's only the beginning.

Droves will leave once the stuff hits the fan. When it becomes easier to convert to Islam or some other religion than to remain a Christian, the "plastic Christians" robbie talks about will fall away like leaves in autumn. The persecution of Christians is coming, mark my words. A new holocaust of epic proportions.

Not that i'm an expect or even have a clue but i doubt it's hard to convert from Christianity, especially in 'the west' where people aren't relying on the church for basic necessitates.

I'll leave the over the top holocaust comment alone.

Probably some other false religion, like Hinduism before she realizes that
true Christianity is different from the cult forms. Hopefully, she will awake
soon enough to the truth.

I would imagine this factoid is the result of non-Muslim women converting in order to marry Muslim British men. I don't really see why they would "go to a islamic [land]", as you put it, if they are British.

Hinduism is better than Christianity IMO... there has been no brutal wars in the name of hinduism... there have been in the name of christianity.

Maybe not but Christianity promotes equality where as hinduism has generation after generation of certian families living as servants to the other families- that's horrible.

5000 people in a population of 62 million is 0.008% of the population.
And while I am concerned at the number and type of theists in this country,
5000 people is such a tiny drop in the ocean that its hardly worth noticing.

The figures below are not accurate, but do show what a piddlingly small minority
the Muslim religion is in this country.

Incidentally the 'no religion' portion is actually larger as it has been shown that many
people answer the question on the census with 'Christian' for cultural reasons rather
than their actually being a believer.

I have to disagree with the idea that Christianity promotes equality.
You don't even have to go through history to see inequality in Christianity,
simply looking at it as practised today you find inequalities abounding.

Think treatment of, women, homosexuals, atheists, and other religions.
To name but a few.

However if you do look at history, you might be amazed at the number of people
living as servants of other's, all of whom would profess to be Christian.

You keep beating the same old drum about Christianity and the wars and the people who were killed over it.

You should realize that all the people involved in war crimes and murderous acts while claiming the cloak of Christianity were evil people. They can say they're Christians all they want. Doesn't make it so.

In ...[text shortened]... being a believer.

I said 5000 women, not people.

And you can't include children in your stats, they're hardly going to change religions.
There's 51m people in the UK aged 15+ /2 = around 25m woman. I couldn't find stats for 18+ population but 15+ will do.

0.2% of the female population 15 years old or above. Hardly a small number if the trend continues, is 50,000 or 2% of total population worth noticing?

Considering theres estimated to be only 1.6m Muslims in the UK (2009) and the Islamic repressive reputation towards woman, 5,000 is a staggeringly high number of woman from the UK choosing to freely convert.

Is that pounds or kilos?

They may have to if they want to see their children.
