thanks for the question, i would advise that if you could email islamic question to askislam@aol.com ( responses will take 1-2 weeks) as you will get answers with refrences that you can check up your self and will get replied by someone that has more understanding abt islam. As many ppl here don't know what there talking as its mixed with truth and false. \nIf you would like more info abt islam just for information purposes (dnt worry not telling you to convert here) i think these three websites are preety good\n\nhttp://www.islamchannel.tv\nhttp://www.islamalways.com ( this one shows preety good media clips)\nhttp://www.watchislam.com \n\nI hope i have helped to answer your question.

yeah u sure can....actually anyone of any faith can convert to islam anytime anywhere...\nwell to be a muslim u shld give the shahada. \n\nThe shahadah (Arabic: شهادة‎ translit: Shahādah) is the Islamic creed, is the declaration of belief in the unity of God (Allah in Arabic) and in Muhammad as his prophet. Recitation of the shahadah is considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam by Sunni Muslims. By sincerely stating the shahadah aloud, one is considered to have officially declared oneself a convert to Islam.\n\nRomanization: \n ash hudo alā ilāhā illā-llāhu;wa ash hudu muhammadu rasūlu-llāhi \nEnglish translations: \nThere is no god but Allah (alternatively "God"); Muhammad is the Prophet (alternatively "Messenger") of Allah. \n\nHonest recitation of the shahādah once, in Arabic, in front of two Muslim witnesses, is all that is required for a person to become a Muslim according to most traditional schools.

You're preaching to the chorus my man.  If you want the west to accept Islam then you have to convince the dangerous radicals that Islam is a religion of peace.  Don't tell us, tell them.  The only thing we care about is not being blown up.

If you are a christian, then I would say that that is not good.  You need to be in some serious prayer, b4 you cross the line.  Islam does not believe in the divinity of Jesus and it clearly states in the bible that the only way to the Father is through the Son.

Among the above three beliefs, Only Islam is logic. No matter whatever standard you choose, Islam will qualify and pass every test.\n\nAlthough every Faith tells you about good things But Islam not only tells you to do good things but shows you how to achieve it practically. Islam is a practical Faith and especially suited for Human Being... If you still doubt, give it a try...

I'm sorry, but I do not agree and have what I spiritually need in my Bible. If Christianity is not for you, what makes you think that Islam is for me?

Hi,\nI'm glad to get the opportunity to help you understand this situation.\n\nWhat happened to you is indeed very strange, from the books offered, the itch, the sore and the whole rest ot it.\n\nThe question here is: What does that person has to do with Islam? what does his reaction has to do too? As well as his behaviour to you and the kids? \n\nI studied Islam as a subject and can tell you that you have been very unfortunate to fall on a person that showed you a wrong image of a great religion.\n\nYour case is just one that could also happen to a muslim while visiting a christian family, isn't it?\n\nIslam is nothing of what you saw and heard!\n\nIt's very unfortunate when a person without or with only a little Islamic academic background try to call people to conversion...\n\nWould you care to read the following:\n\nFr. Theodore Pulcini, a priest of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, is Assistant Professor of Religion at Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA 17013. His articles have appeared in Diakonia, The Journal of Ecumenical Studies, Church Divinity, Commonweal, and St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly. His essay is reprinted from New Theology Review. \n\n\nMuslims now constitute a significant minority in Western countries, most notably France, Britain, Germany, Canada, and the United States. Consequently, those in the West engaged in theological discourse and pastoral work can no longer consign Islam to the outer limits of their universe of religious concerns. Islam is no longer just "over there," an exotic feature of distant cultures; it is a well-established component of our own religious landscape and deserves attention from all who work to further the Reign of God in our culture. \nHaving taught courses in Islamic civilization as part of the religious studies curriculum at both secular and church-related institutions, I can give ample testimony to the antagonistic images of Islam obtaining in, and actively perpetuated by, many Western circles. In some cases, it is alarmism that fuels the antagonism ("Muslims are taking over the world!"); in others, the indignation of post-modern Westerners who resent the very existence of a powerful religious tradition which seems to foster "unenlightened" values ("Islam is intolerant, it oppresses women, etc."). It is a situation fraught with the real possibility of bigotry and violence.\n\nAs "people of religion," we can be particularly effective in shaping religious sentiment toward Muslims in our society. We can either stoke the fires of antagonism, feeding into the dominant societal trend of "demonizing" Islam and Muslims; or we can fight those fires, challenging people to come to a well-informed, balanced appreciation of this "other" in our midst. Most of us, I assume, would affirm the desirability of the latter option. I would like to offer a few suggestions as to how that option might be realized.\n\nFirst, expose the caricatures -- both our own and those of others. Such caricatures are usually based on the assumption that Islam is monolithic and that Muslim communities are homogeneous. Both assumptions are false. Just as there are many "Christianities," there are many "Islams" and most have very little to do with "Islamism," that militant, extremist fringe of Islam which, despite its claim to "traditionalism," actually violates such perennial Islamic values as tolerance, forbearance, hospitality, and broad-mindedness. A number of excellent resources can help you in this process -- see the attached reading list. All the recommended authors are Christians who have done much to dispel the rampant misinformation concerning Islam.\n\nSecond, reflect on what underlies our tendency to caricature Islam. Many in the Christian world have thrown themselves headlong into the process of challenging the traditional shape of our society an

You've got the right idea. Bring them to Islam, show them Mohammed's (pboh) teachings! Circumcize them! Show them how to prey... \n\nOops, pray.
