do you think those priests & educated people are stupid for converting to islam ?

Intelligent people convert to and from Islam and to and from just about every other religion as well.  Intelligence about science does not necessarily mean that one will be intelligent in religious matters, or have accurate textual interpretation skills, or a critical eye for religious history.\n\nOne's innermost desires have more to do with why they choose a particular religion.  To one who WANTS Religion A to be true, his mind will find a way to satisfy him that it IS true.  The evidence, however pathetic, will look legitimate to him.\n\nI'm sorry, but that is really the way it is.  I've experienced this myself.  It is hard to be unbiased.

This is yet another stupid action by someone in the public eye that throws Islam into ridicule. Fanatics of this standard are the worst enemies that the Muslim faith can have.

There are people who convert from Islam to Christanity and other religions. They also have to GO INTO HIDING as they WILL BE KILLED FOR IT. Do you read the international news? A man within like the last year was PUT ON TRIAL FOR CONVERTING FROM ISLAM TO CHRISTANITY. Sick isn't it? That is what those people believe though. If the World hadn't stepped in the man would have been KILLED for it. To that one who said it is the best religion I feel bad for you, but I suggest you keep believing that, or at least make sure people THINK you believe that. At least Christians don't tell you to KILL the converts. The worst they did was that some branches would refuse to recognize you in their Church basically. I don't know of Jews teaching to KILL converts either. Sorry don't know the views of most religions so maybe, just maybe, Islam isn't the only one that says kill Converts but the fact is that in 2006 they are still putting people on trial for converting.

Ignorance breeds fear. They fear what they don't understand. It's easier to try to "convert" the enemy, than it is to try to understand him. For that, would require an open mind which in & of itself is yet another thing they fear because they don't understand. The Church has no business in our bedrooms. Yet one more idea that they don't get! Blessed Be...no matter the path you choose. Be true to yourself.

Nope the stupid ones are the ones that blindly follow religion without questioning it.

I would say hardcore Islamists are pretty smart. If you look at the world, whereever religion has lost its shine or deep faith, you would find the society educated and developed. To majority of the believers in deveoped society, deep faith occurs only at the time when they undergo severe stress/problems when they find no one having time to help/console/understand them. God is the only recourse and the one that does not complain of your sad face and sunken heart. The logic is if the society is developed the religious leaders lose their charm and means to make money! To keep the charm and the comforts, you need to block something - and what better than education and development? It would keep people awed at you and your preachings. Smart or not?

They have been brained washed from birth just like people from many other religions.  I think it takes a certian amount of IQ to step back and see these things for what they really are.  They are a growing number of people however that can keep there faith but at the same time remain open minded about other posssibilities.  OH yea the bible quoteing thing ......... thats really annoying

I know what you are talking about.  Some people seem to be parrotting something that they are taught by some misguided preacher.  I'm a Catholic and I look at some of the ignorant questions and answers so-called Christians are posing regarding Muslims and their faith, and I wonder if they were paying attention in history class.  They get an "F" as far as I am concerned.  This is the result, the EXACT result of "the blind leading the blind".  It's rather sad, really.  What can one do before such awe-inspiring ignorance?  They are PURPOSELY blind.

It is hypocritical i agree. it is condemnable to give capital punishment for conversion and i support their stand who were keeping tab on a 16 year old case of conversion. but I doubt if that man would have been in jail for conversion to any non christian relegion would it have attracted so much concern? \n\nmost of the organization in Afganistam  are looking out for their interests. the type of humanists you are looking for are not many and those who claim to be one do not go at such places where monetary benfits are absent and risk to their life is many fold.

I can state the facts that:\n\nI have seen the practice of killing the converts done in\nmy country.\n(to the very least, usually they were shunned by the society as the outcast)\n \nBut, whether it is truly an islamic thing to do or not, i don't really know.\n\nAnd Nikki, i think you need to get out of your room and open your eyes to the world, dear.\nThere are many that converts from Islam to other religions and happy with it as much as those from other religions that converts to Islam.\n\nNot acknowledging it is just trying to escape from the reality.

No, those are fanatics of christianity.  Christianity is supposed to teach tolerance and acceptance.  A true christian is not supposed to such a thing.  Those people are also close minded morons.  Ignoring them is the best way to handle them.

Yeah, kinda silly isn't it? You can tell this religion was founded by a very evil man, can't you? \n\nI'm with you all the way...

No I think you have that backwards, Muslims are the most narrow minded religious fanatics on the face of the earth. After all what was the religion of the morons that brought you 9/11 and idiots taking to the streets rejoicing about it. I feel if they submitted themselves to Jesus things would be a lot better for them and everybody else on this planet.
