There was a program here in the UK not long ago that showed many Americans (white Americans), especially in Texas (how ironic given it George Bush's state) converting to Islam. The number was substantial. Following 9/11, the number of converts actually increased. The case about black Americans converting is well known but, I must say, the fact that white Americans were converting took me by surprise.
Yes 10 Americans might convert, at the same time 20 middle easterners leave islam, but you cant hear about it cause they are scared to tell people.
And I saw a program, on channel 92, about how education actually makes you dumber. Just claiming that you saw a program, and citing that the conversion rate was "substantial" doesn't mean it's true. As I have pointed out in several other threads, data gathered is not always accurate. Show us a link or video
The very reason they had the program was because the number was substantial. I don't recall the exact date the program was on, but I am sure some other UK Dp'er might be able to confirm this.
I found this on Channel 4's web site: http://www.channel4.com/culture/microsites/C/can_you_believe_it/debates/texas1.html Their country gets attacked they convert, maybe these are just scared people?
I would love to see it, I am just stating simply posting a thread about a program you may or may not have seen, and then not giving a link to allow us to review the contents of this program isn't all that intriguing. Or maybe they are just impressionable. The world is full of impressionable people looking to jump on with the next religious fad. If that's what the program was about... it's one of the worst bits of factual information I have ever heard. I would bet, that it's simply some sensational exaggeration created by the channel to drive ratings. Afterall, isn't that what television is about? I live in Texas, I know a handful of Muslims... I have not meet a convert. If it where so substantial and people where flocking to Islam, don't you think I would have heard about it?
The number is not substantial. We have a population of 300 million, and even a few hundred thousand converting would be less than 1% of the population.
Yes, that might have been the program. I don't know whether it was on the same program or not, but there were also many Hispanics converting to Islam. I think Hispanics are normally quite strict Christians, aren't they?
For most or 99.99% who convert its business, revange, frustration, ignorance. Nothing lost with these losers. Big parts in our societies play a role by displaying to much ignorance toward the islamic threats. We need to educate and forward the facts with a wider media coverage of islamic issues and its contradiction to our constitutions. Wonder when they will line up at the shore.
Well , they sooner or latter find about the Islam and gonna convert. Thats a good thing. welcome to our new brothers.
This is true. Islam is spreading rapidly in our prison systems. Islam seems to be the religion most preferred by those who are unwilling to take responsibility for their actions. Now the inmates can say "The Jewish Illuminati robbed that liquor store!" That's got to frustrate the hell out of efforts to reform criminals.
Yes, usually of Catholic faith I also known many Hispanics, and do not know any converts I think it's a lot of nonsensical televised dribble.
Interesting, a post made upon heresay with no evidence. Let's introduce some sources to the thread and see what they have to say: http://americanthinker.com/comments.php?comments_id=5044 http://muslim-quotes.netfirms.com/islamgrows.html http://www.faithfreedom.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=30 http://answering-islam.org/Testimonies/ http://www.secularislam.org/testimonies/testimonies.htm http://members.lycos.nl/whatsthisthen/muslimsleavingislam.html People are leaving islam in droves. 16,000 convert to Christianity per day.
