A growing number of Muslim refugees in Europe are converting to Christianity, according to churches, which have conducted mass baptisms in some places.
Reliable data on conversions is not available but anecdotal evidence suggests a pattern of rising church attendance by Muslims who have fled conflict, repression and economic hardship in countries across the Middle East and central Asia.
Complex factors behind the trend include heartfelt faith in a new religion, gratitude to Christian groups offering support during perilous and frightening journeys, and an expectation that conversion may aid asylum applications.
At Trinity church in the Berlin suburb of Steglitz, the congregation has grown from 150 two years ago to almost 700, swollen by Muslim converts, according to Pastor Gottfried Martens. Earlier this year, churches in Berlin and Hamburg reportedly held mass conversions for asylum seekers at municipal swimming pools.

Taqqiya, is right. Sleeper cells being formed as they watch.
I would only trust an islamo that converted to agnostic, uses toilet paper, eats bacon, treats its partner well and condemns islam.
I would think that many Christian refugees just said they were Muslim. Otherwise, they would have been murdered on the boat ride over.
> I hope they are being converted to the one true religion that can save them.
Belief and religion are personal and there are no monolithic beliefs.
If someone was truly following the idiocy of islam, they would have to gain 50+ IQ points to escape it.
Maybe they just want to belong to a religion that won’t chop their heads off for any perceived infraction. If that’s the case, more power to them.
Any sane Christian would.
Uh huh, Guardian.
Perhaps they see the prosperity of Europe, and correctly attribute it to (vestigial) Christian values.
Not likely, but possible.
“......and an expectation that conversion may aid asylum applications......”
Answer in the article itself.
It is my belief that God is bringing muslims into America to be evangelized to, so that they will know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and go back to share the eternal gospel, in a very powerful way that we westerners cannot.
So did the Kings of Spain in 1500
How many? Is it worth it to bring in a million savages because a few become civilized?
The science is settled, eh?
One interesting story that has been making the rounds for a little more than a year now are reports of middle-eastern Muslims, including some ISIS fighters, dreaming or having visions of “The Man in White”. They all identify this figure as Jesus and have spontaneously converted after these dreams and visions. Numbers range form the dozens, through the tens of thousands. Google “jesus appearing to muslims in dreams” — it makes for some interesting reading.
Any Pastor or Priest worth his salt is going at least interview a candidate for baptism first. If he claims to be a Pastor or Priest, he should also have the gift of the Holy Spirit to discern whether or not the candidate is sincere.
Or screened out by BO's State Department.
umm... I think Jesus would answer yes. Of course he was a better man than you and I.
The conversion seems incomplete if you’re still worshipping in your hijab (see unlinkable first photo in article).
