Maybe because of these scientific miracles Islam becomes the fastest-growing religion in America and in the world? Although religion is no longer dominates everyday life in Western society.

A NATION CHALLENGED: AMERICAN MUSLIMS; Islam Attracts Converts By the Thousand, Drawn Before and After Attacks

From what I've heard from different friends of mine who have converted to Islam, there are a few main reasons for most conversions.

1. Islam is a religious lifestyle, not just a quick Sunday morning church visit and a label. Although some Christians do pray before each meal and spend much time with their Bible, etc.many don't in the USA. Islam is something that can't be shunted into a few spare hours. You pray five times a day. Your dress code is affected; even your food choices are explained in the Qur'an. Many converts like it because they feel actively involved and as if they are truly religious.

2. For women, it is a big and welcome change from the "in your face" sexuality of western culture. Women are not required by the Qur'an to veil. They are required to dress modestly and it is *recommended* that they cover their hair. However, most do veil and some go farther with niquab (the face screen) or other traditional clothes. Women dressed like this consider themselves marked as religious women, not easy dates. They don't get hit on. No one gawks at their bodies. They are clearly off limits sexually and many that I personally know say it is liberating not to have to conform to western standards of sexy dress, makeup and spending so much time and money on appearance. You buy a five-dollar hijab, put your hair in a ponytail and cover, wear long skirt and a tunic shirt -you're set.

3. Islam is also growing because many people are not satisfied with Christianity. They feel it is too liberal, too fluid and changes for the culture. Islam on the other hand is more rigid and does not as a whole allow much for modern changes and the whims of society. Many like it because they feel other religions have loose standards.

That's what I got from the new Muslimah's group at Yahoo, Islamway women's board and a few other friends of mine. Stats taken by many college groups say that women convert 4 times more often then men.

I know this is going to sound totally chauvinistic, sexist etc etc

But I bet its the ugly fat ones who convert because with islam they can make a virtue of hiding their weight and hairy top lips.

Much like the way you never see a good looking female goth,(don't mean the skater/hippy chicks but real goths). I think they make themselves as ugly as possible with the makeup and dress and piercings so that they can convince themselves, I'm ugly cause I choose to be, rather than because I just am.

I am a bad bad person....I know!! :D

Watches bad rep points mount up!! :D

To the original poster. You might find this useful:

snorlax

well im female and i don't mind being "hit on",its called freedom and it allows me and every other girl the freedom of choosing our own partner, how do you know what you like if youvn't sampled a few of the goods?!

also whats so wrong with the female body that it has to be covered up and not the male body? whats wrong with western liberalization? it least it gives us the choice to make our own paths in life and we don't have to just do what everyone else is doing.

choosing a religion/path in life is a personal thing that know one should force on anyone else. do you not aggree?

i also don't think statistics or other comments aren't likely to win ppl over. if ppl want to convert you are more likely to put ppl off .

youv certainely put me becoming a muslim, i don't know about anyone else here

You're not religious, yet you come on here preaching about how great Islam is? Hmm...

And by the way, a lot of muslim women don't have a choice in covering up their bodies. They do it for fear of being beaten by their husbands. (i'm sure this doesn't apply to everyone but you hear some horror stories).

I'm not a bit bigoted, but will you go away with your crap about women covering up because they want to be liberated from the western way of dressing. I don't call them all having to wear the same clothes and cover their faces all the time as liberated.

Go preach somewhere else

Word up, homie!


And I don't know about you, salem14, but I don't like the thought of having to shave my pubes every day.

(Yes. This is true. Muslims must shave off their pubic hair.)
