From what I understand of Judaism, they are no more interested in marketing their religion than Hinduism which is kind of ironic considering the typical anti-Semitic literature/rants. I fully agree that Islam is very focused on conversion, nay possibly obsessed. This necessarily begs the question of why? Islam as it is currently interpreted and practised requires a steady infusion of 'new blood' if it is to perpetuate itself. This is a result of social and cultural practises which mean that if Islam does not have a steady source of new converts it will wither and die as a faith system. I rely on the demographics, muslims openly proclaim how numerous they are, I don't disagree with their figures even when they are exaggerated because the truly Muslim and even the very few Islamic countries in the world seem to share a number of common and from my perspective undesirable traits. Namely, poor education, poor public health care, low life expectancy, government corruption and lack of a civil society. In western/westernised countries the greatest success rates for conversion to Islam occur in High Security Prisons amongst the inmates, as much as I would like to comment on this further I shall refain. To me it is perfectly natural that Islam must actively evangelise and successfully convert non-muslims by whatever means necessary or perish. As Hindus and Jews see no need to do so these faiths are most alien to the Muslim mind set and are thus accorded a disproportionate degree of Islamic hostility.

I agree with you completely green dragon, the only people who convert to islam are the lowest members of societies...basically all the lowlifes and village idiots convert to islam.

Just reach Sant Lakhbir Singh of village Bakapur who became a devout Sikh after leaving Islam! Sant Lakhbir Singh (1860-1935) a convert to Sikhism was born Karim Baksh to Muslim parents, Natthua and Basri, at Bakapur, a sma11 village about 3 km from Phillaur, in the Punjab, which became the site of a big Sikh convention at the advent of the twentieth century. Karim Bakhsh had a religious bent of mind from the very beginning. This disturbed his family, who, to detract him from his lonely ways, married him to a girl, named Jlndo, when he was barely twelve. At the age of 15, Karim Bakhsh's quest for spiritual company took him to a Sikh saint, Bhai lkahla Singh of Banga, in Jalandhar district. He spent two years at his feet. After Bhai Kahla Singh's death, Karim Baksh Sought solace in the service of his disciple, Bhai illa Singh of Thakurval, in Hoshiarpur district. For twelve years he presentcd himsclf once every week in the holy saligat at Thakurval, about 30 km away from his village.

renegade u waited and analysed this long to give such a funny answer..lol ever heard of sharuk Khan, Salman Khan,........ there are so many of them they dominate the Indian film Industry. come on just don't give such absurd answers, let finish this off ok ISLAM is a good religion so is HINDUISIM I like ISLAM & HINUISIM, so why do we want fight like idiots and become a toast to the westerners?

To tell you the truth-none of you Pakistanis have the faintest clue either abt Islam or the Koran! I am sick and tired of reading these stories abt people killing in the name of the prophet even in your holy month. The Koran needs to be revamped totally or discarded!its too much of a threat to the free world!

You all must pardon my crass ignorance, but I was not aware that such a thing even existed. Conversion to Islam is a process that culminates solemnly with the convert saying the Shahadah, becoming a Christian involves Baptism, Communion, and the abjuration of any previous faith, and you'd better be female if you're long-winded and patient enough to want to become Jewish, because otherwise it'd hurt in addition to driving you bonkers! I've seen people adopting Hindu rituals, ideas and dietary restriction, but none of them ever mentioned any sort of conversion process or being certified as a full card-bearing Hindu by a Brahmin or any other sort of religious authority. Most Jews, like most Westerners, usually chose the less complex and somewhat less demanding Buddhism as their way to apostasy (shame on them!), but I've heard of quite a few instances of people joining an ashram and then staying on for the whole thing, without ever undergoing anything even remotely reminiscent of a conversion ceremony. I think it is a given that many Hindus have converted to Islam in the last few decades in order to escape their lower-caste condition, but isn't it true that even more have joined the actively-proselytizing Catholic Church, especially in South India? When I was growing up in W. Europe, there was a convent across the street where I lived, and there were plenty of tiny brown, underfed-looking very young nun novices from Kerala looking out of place among the large burly fair-skinned teutonic natives. I also remember an authoritative, leading and high-ranking orthodox rabbi introducing us kids to the powerful attraction of the inclusiveness and of the inherent tolerance of the Hindu philosophy, by showing us Hebrew rabbinical-esoteric texts from the 17th or 18th century's India, where we could detect the strong Hindu odor of the reincarnation theory. Judaism per se focusses on earthly life and does not have much of a central afterlife mythology, so adapting the Indian thing to the Jewish taste went nowhere near heresy but this still exemplifies the power of Hinduism as the most ancient , most comprehensive and most complex of all extant religions.

idiot we already gave one or should I say many but ur dumb head thought for sometime and said he changed so that he could shine in BOLLYWOOD. so then what is religionof Shah rukh, AMIR Khan, SALMAN KHAN, Saif ALI KAHN...? but, why didn't this question arise in ur dumb head?....lol and I am still waiting for a nuteral source that says India Lost the Kargil war and lost 1000 men too.....LOL... ur are really any bad escape artist.
