Over 5,000 People Convert to Islam Through Mobile Hotline
IRAK.IN NEWS ^ | November 5, 2009 | DPA

Riyadh, Nov 5 (DPA) Around 5,480 people converted to Islam in Saudi Arabia through the ‘Bring me to Islam’ cell phone hotline service, media reports said Thursday.

The service, provided in 12 languages, was launched to raise awareness among foreign communities in the kingdom, the Saudi daily Okaz reported.

Any person can suggest names of non-Muslims he thinks might convert to Islam through text messages to the hotline, along with their phone numbers and the language they speak.

Later, preachers would call these non-Muslims and try to introduce them to Islam, without revealing the number of the person who suggested their names.

Preachers would call again if the person showed a desire to continue receiving these phone calls, Okaz said, adding that around 800,000 phone calls were made, costing 120,000 Saudi Riyals ($32,000).

During the month of Ramadan, the call volume to the 1877-WHY-ISLAM hotline in New York has increased by 500%.

Last year's Subway Project was a huge success which targeted subway cars in NYC. Some of the successes included:

10 times as many hits on the www.WhyIslam.org website
Generated 2x as many calls on the 877-Why-Islam hotline
More than 20 Info booths were executed in NYC, where around
2,000 FREE Quran's and Islamic literature were distributed.
Through mainstream media (CNN, Fox, Reuters, and many
more), our Ads were seen and heard of from people all
across the world.

To build on this momentum the ICNA-NY launched an informative Bus Ad Campaign this Ramadan 2009.

How sweet. Convert to peaceful Islam and you can behead innocent people...or fly planes into buildings killing innocent people...or run over your daughter for being "too Westernized"...or shoot your fellow soldiers on a shooting rampage...or throw acid in the face of young girls that have done the wrong thing like educating themselves...or blow yourself up in a crowded market...or plant bombs on mentally disabled individuals and blow them up...

What a peaceful religion!!!

Maybe we should all try to convert. Then we could get behind the fences of all the mosques and see what’s really going on in there. Shoot, maybe we could join Al Queda and get to meet Bin Laden. Then we could take him out with a suicide bomb. Now the quesion is: If a muslim takes out another muslim with a suicide bomb does one of them get the 70 virgins or do they each get 35 a piece?

In the 1970’s it was the fasting growing “religion” on earth. It’s fast becoming the largest.

That’s the whole, “more is better” school of religion. Islam is a false faith, it’s just a ridiculous falsehood that came from a demon-possessed pedophile’s mouth. You’ll know them by their fruits. Islam delivers death, destruction and misery to the world.
