Yes I meet a lot of muslim converts and they really do believe Islam is the answer to feel like a real man. It has nothing to do with islamofascists. They live in America and don't see radical islam in action. Islam addresses their needs right where they are. These men are nice but to me they haven't thoroughly examined christianity. They're looking at people and bad examples.

Well enough stated. I can accept your response. I've seen plenty of bad examples myself. And you're also correct, the converts in the US have not seen the Middle Eastern version of Islam up close.

I have a number of friends who are ex-muslims, a number of them from the ME and fluent in Arabic. The English translation of the Quran is not a real effort to relate the exact meaning of the Quran one would find in Arabic according to these friends.

Whenever I talk to these men I usually forward them to groups like Promise Keepers, or another christian men's group. True adherence to christianity (as espoused by Christ Himself) would yield an abudance of fruit and true adherence to islam as practiced in the middle east, well we saw on 9-11 what that's all about.

My understanding is that there IS no definitive version of the queer-an like there is of the bible. No dead sea scrolls, no historical evidence. Hell, Moohumid (death be upon him) may not have existed at all.
