Although people raised in Islam are taught to follow it without question, Islamic historian Muhammad Ibn Al-Rawandis conclusion is that it simply isnt possible for an intelligent, educated Westerner to convert to such a religion without committing mental suicide.
Christ said, "By their fruit you will know them." He was expecting His followers to practice Godliness (God-likeness/Christ-likeness) as a means of drawing others to the Father. There is nothing in Islam's current practice (or its practitioners) that would so draw a person. This being the case, the Islamist brandishes the sword and sighs, "Oh, well..."
"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - John 14:27
