I think the conversion to Christianity is an easy decision to make. Christianity doesn't require extremism as a form of devotion, it doesn't require hatred, and it doesn't require murder and suicide.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
Ah, but you're forgetting that conversion from Islam to any other faith puts one under sentence of death.
Unless you are a Muslim (it becomes a death sentence), or an Orthodox Jew (you are considered as dead and your family disowns you), or Hindu (you are outcast), etc... There are even some "Christian" denominations and sects that ostracize their estranged members when they change their affiliations. Granted becoming a Christian is an easy "decision" to make, but to truly live the life of a Christian is often the hardest thing to do.
TRUE.
At some point, it does require that we give up our all to gain Christ's all, however. Great trade!
As Jim Elliott said:
HE IS NO FOOL WHO GIVES UP WHAT HE CANNOT KEEP TO GAIN WHAT HE CANNOT LOSE.
And, many Moslem and other Believers may well become martyrs in the months and years ahead. But an entirely different sort than the Jihadi's.

I was glad to see you used the term require in your post. Being that in reality, historically MANY Christians have used extremism as a form of devotion, have had hatred and murdered by the masses
Historically Christians have tried, tortured, hung and burned alive vast numbers of people because they were suspected of heresy, Judaism, Witchcraft…; slashed off people’s heads on public streets for not confessing that Jesus Christ was God; and condemned the works of some of histories greatest scientists, theologians, philosophers and artists.
I started going back to church six years ago because I thought one religion was basically as good another but I had been raised Christian, and I thought it was the best way to live.
I'm still in the church because Jesus has given me a chance to go to Heaven and I want to go. Jesus is my Personal Lord and Savior, and there is no other. It does not surprise me that the muzzies turn to Him. There is no way to get to heaven with Mohummed (pigbuh), except to blow yourself up, I suppose.
I expect we will see much more of this as we free more Muzzle lands. I suspect as much as 85-90% of mohammedans may be hostages to one degree or another.
For a muslim? Not hardly. Losing your family for sure, maybe your life, is easy?
Right you are.
A religion, such as islam, that requires coercion to control its members, is a religion of the devil.
Well, it DOES ask us to 'die to self.' Does that count (smile)?
