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.

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?
In a recent article Andrew Walden offers some amazing statistics: “In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Every day, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Every year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity.” These are some remarkable figures indeed.
As already mentioned, the rise in numbers in Islam is mainly due to demographics, not conversions. “This is more than the normal flow between two large religious communities. Islam can point to little in the way of recent conversions. Its claim to be the world’s fastest-growing religion stems mostly from the high birth rate in Islamic countries, whose infant mortality rates have been cut by the introduction of Western medicine. Christian growth is based on adult conversion. As leading Christian evangelist Wolfgang Simpson writes, ‘More Muslims have come to Christ in the last two decades than in all of history’.”

Originally posted by Trev33Its a tiny tiny number. I am willing to bet that the stats for Christians changing denomination or people claiming to have converted to Christianity is far higher.
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.
Originally posted by twhiteheadI know that there has been a huge surge in Buddhism in Australia in the lat 15 or so years.

It wouldn't surprise me if you found at least 5000 people claiming to have converted to Buddhism, or Hinduism or even Wiccan.
Someone else pointed out that the stats are for women only and therefore it is likely that many of them converted in order to marry a Muslim man.

Originally posted by Trev33So it is the reputation Islam has regarding women that concerns you? Why are you not equally concerned about the number of women becoming Christian or Jewish considering those religions also have lots of bigoted members (and teachings)?
The question should be, why did 5000 WOMAN convert from whatever religion or lack of religion to Islam last year? A religion that has a horrible reputation towards woman.

Originally posted by FMFI would if i had any Muslim female friends... and i've never come across a non-Muslim woman thinking of converting. Any Muslim woman that i have spoken to where born into Islam and either gave very flaky answers to certain question or just didn't answer.

Are you ignorant?
Originally posted by sumydidThe message in the bible is not wrong, christianity is wrong. Jesus did not call his deciples christians of any denomination, did he?

Sorry, but, it goes a little deeper than just throwing a claim out there that Christians have brutalized so many people on the battlefield.
