There is NO comparison between birth control and converting to ISLAM! Of course there is - there is a practical comparison.
The practical effect of converting to Islam is to abandon your future to Islam.
The practical effect of having minimal or no children is to abandon your future to Islam.
The process is different, but the consequence a generation from now is the same.

No, you are wrong. What you're trying to do is to label everyone who doesn't have children as future ISLAM converts, and that is nuts. You obviously don't understand Americans who will NEVER accept ISLAM as their "religion." Period. Under any circumstances. We've got nukes. We've got guns. I've got a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and if you think for one moment that I would ever turn my back on Him to accept a cult of death, satanic religion, then you're nuts. I can assure you that there are millions of Americans who would agree with me too.

Another patently false and illogical statement. Not having children does not abandon ones future to any other ideology. Not supporting your culture or ideology fully does that. It has nothing to do with numbers. It could happen that in the future Islam falls on disfavor and Christianity becomes a more popular religious choice. I.E. Conversion can have just as dramatic effect on a culture or religion as birthrates can. 2000 years ago there were 100 or so Christians, today there are over two billion, or more. 1400 years ago there were only a handfull of Muslims, today there numbers count over a billion. It is the religion with the highest conversion rate on earth, and that's why their numbers are growing, more so than birthrates. If Christians would do what their bible tells them to, the religions would be uncontested. As it stands most Christians live very secular lives and hold morals and ehtics much more in line with Wetern European civilization than what is taught in the bible. Of course, the above statement is just as much opinion as your are. But there is just as much truth to it as well.
