Why are So Many Westerners Converting to Islam? [Islam is Easier than Christianity]
CBN ^ | 2015 | Staff

Posted on 05/16/2016 3:49:24 PM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

It is a fact that Islam is growing rapidly in the West. In the U.S. alone the number of Muslims has risen dramatically, from about 10,000 in 1900 to 3 million or more in 1991 (some authorities say 4.5 million). Most of this growth is due to recent immigration and the high birth rate of Muslims (5 children per family on average), rather than to conversion. Still, the number of those who convert to Islam is significant. In the U.S., the majority are African-American (a third of all Muslims according to most authorities), but there have also been significant numbers of Anglos to convert as well, many of them well-educated.

[...]

[...]

...when asked why African-Americans are turning to Islam. I have heard the same things from African-Americans in Philadelphia more than once. First on his list is racism in the church. "The discrimination that we feel makes Islam attractive to us because it's a way of rejecting the culture that will not have us. In sociological terms I think that one of the reasons that many African-Americans go to Islam as opposed to Christianity--and many of us have been raised Christian--is that the people doing these things to us are also Christian." How often does one not hear it said, "America is no more segregated than at eleven o'clock on Sunday mornings." The second reason he gives is, I believe, also important in the conversion of Anglo-Americans. "Another factor--and this is part of what attracted me to Islam--is direction and discipline." Our society is disintegrating for lack of discipline, especially in the city. Through its disciplined life-style, to many people Islam seems to hold out the promise of helping them get their lives back in order again...

It’s really very simple. You can cater to some of your most vile and base urges and be a devout Muslim just so long as you follow the guidelines. Murder, rape, assault and many other crimes are fine so long as your victims are infidels. Infidel women? So much the better. I have no doubt that aspects of gang psychology are also at work.

proper family formation is next to impossible with LOOSE MEN, improperly raised to not respect themselves and women.

can’t just look at one side of the problem.

There is absolutely no real reason why a man cannot remain a virgin until marriage, other than he thinks little of himself and women.

There is an answer to this mess, and it is real ‘repentance’: Teshuvah. Not a two minute prayer, but a life-long journey of Torah study and obedience. For Torah is Life, the ‘Yoke of Heaven’ which constrains us to do good and eschew evil. By it a nation is exalted, and by it kingdoms are brought to ruin. Torah undergirds all cosmic laws, physics and quantum mechanics, and it’s authority is supreme throughout the universe. When the blended Christian movement wandered away from its root, it left with a partial, limited inheritance. The spectacular Western Culture it produced has come and gone. Christianity has failed to bring the Redemption of History. Why? The Nazarene said that his movement would destroy the very gates of Hell. What went wrong? See Yeshayahu (Isiaih) 8:20 - “To the Law and the Testamony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”

They convert in prison because Islam allows them to justify their crimes because many crimes like rape and murder are fully justified in Islam.

Statistics don't bear this out. A Christian blogger by pseudonym of Dalrock pulled together family stability by sexually partners and a the number of sexual patters a women has is 4 times more likely to derail a marriage than men's sexual count. A women who has 2 sexual partners(including her husband) is 50% more likely to end in divorce. A similar rate among men requires 4 partners to achieve parity.

Which is why all historical cultures are obsessed by female purity and barley mention men screwing around unless they're sleeping with other men's wives and daughters. It's just not nearly as important vigin brides.

Islam is the only major religion that hasn’t capitulated to a feminist agenda.

I think it’s a matter of orthodoxy vs. orthopraxy. Christianity is hard because there aren’t a lot of rules to follow. Does that make sense?

If people want to convert to Judaism, that’s OK with me! But Christianity worked miracles for blacks when they were in slavery and when they came out. Some of our greatest songs are Negro Spirituals - so very moving. The beautiful words and music of a footsore race. How could they forget that for islam?

It is because people want to be hypnotized and Islam is the perfect vehicle. No need to think. No need to care. Just keep your prayer rug handy and point it in the right direction numerous times during the day.

Adolph Hitler was a supporter and admirer of Islam. He praised its teaching that warriors who died in battle were rewarded with virgins after death. He despised Christianity as weak, with its doctrines of love and mercy. Islam and cruelty go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Ferguson, Missouri type Blacks are naturals for Islam conversion.

Abusing women and racist hate attacks against non-Blacks, when blessed by a “religion” don’t irk what little remains of their consciences.

ie. non-Muslim Black: treat women bad and others worse...bad behavior per Christianity.

Muslim Black: treat women even worse and others even worse....good behavior per Islam.

So, natural appeal to many Blacks....especially the 90% who vote skin color and free sh*t, instead of what would make this a better Country.

Most of this growth is due to recent immigration and the high birth rate of Muslims (5 children per family on average), rather than to conversion.

250,000 Muslim imports per year will do that. Our gov't is as dedicated to jihad as the jihadis are.

If I convert to Islam, then all Christian women are “lawful prey” to satisfy my sexual lusts, might be a reason.

It’s also a good way to get some real protection against the gayfia if they’re really coming after you. Sooner or later people will go with the group that keeps them safe; for some that means giving in and for some that means going to a religion that is more than willing to make such perverts go away permanently on short notice.

I like a lot of the reasons already cited but another one is - it’s trendy.

Because they are angry people who hate most of the people around them and Islam gives them a justification for that.
