I can’t imagine anyone who is not totally brainwashed or stupid converting to islam. It’s not a religion but a system of laws designed to control slaves.
Liam Neeson says that the lure for him to convert to islam was listening every day to the calls to prayer on his last film location. He said at first, it drove him crazy, but as he heard it over and over, he now thinks, as obama once commented, that it is the most beautiful sound on earth.
Whenever I hear that sound, it sends cold chills down my spine. It sounds evil and demonic to me. But does it have a certain pitch and tone that somehow affects the brain if you are immersed in it for a period of time?
I know I’m responding to an old post of yours, but there is one more possibility here - in re: to being brainwashed or stupid to convert to Islam. Much like the gang members in Chicago learned in the 70s (see; El Rukns), the easiest way to get the cops and FBI off your back is declare your meeting place a religious site, and your organization (gang) is really a “congregation” of religious followers. No risk of wiretaps if you’re a “church”. I believe that is why Islam has had so many converts from prison - it’s not the religion it’s the *benefits*, and from there it’s probably a matter of time because most of the men in prison and gangs have never had any kind of real boundaries before, and Islam gives that to them (apparently) - plus it works well with their previous beliefs in most cases (Black Liberation Theology).
