ask yourself : if Islam is that bad & degrades women , then why thousands western women
( before & even after 9/11 ) accepted Islam ? Why so many western women are rejecting the so-called freedom , becoming Muslims ? All are brainwashed ?

Daughters of Another Path: Experiences of American Women Choosing Islam
You ask why many women become Muslims. Well, again I can only speak of my own country and my own experiences.
In my country many secular women meet and marry a man who is from a Muslim back ground although he might not be very reflected in his faith. As a formality the women then becomes Muslim according to the rules and traditions (related to honour etc) of male-dominated Muslim culture.
I have only met one really reflected Muslim in my country who had left a non-believing background to become a Muslim. He now had adopted the totalitarian ideology and advocated stoning of adulterers and cutting of the hand of a thief etc.
When I met him first time and spoke to him at the mosque I saw a young man who had grown up in democracy and had adopted Islam… at that time I knew something was completely sick in Islam… just like it is not only idiots that became involved with the Nazi-party… so here too are also bright minds led astray by the devil. The devil is very cunning and highly intelligent… do not doubt that.
Since Islam has a rule about women becoming muslims in order to be accepted as the wife its very logical that these numbers of empty conversion appear in western countries.
I had a rather close friend who was a convert to Islam from atheism. His life had been full of promiscuity and immodesty and he was miserable. He fell for a muslim girl and therefore he became a Muslim. He was lost and this law religion gave some structure and a feeling of identity to him, yet when I really asked him about your prophet and the sharia it was evident that he was not convinced at all… he did not even believe in sharia, thought the hadith was unexcusable (unlike you at least he had the humane integrety to admit it) and he also drank alcohol etc.
Then I met a fallen away Muslim. Even though he was an apostate- when he fell in love with me - he asked me to become Muslim and marry him. I said I would never leave my Lord for a false religion. This person was one of the most ignorant men I have ever known. He did not know Jesus was a Jew, didn’t know that there were Jews in Israel 2000 years ago etc.etc. But at least he was honest… he told me he had become honest when he became a non-believer and now he hated religion(islam) because it was full of hypocrisy.
The statistics that you keep pointing to are then lacking for me. I know that in many countries millions of people become Christians every year, as they turn away from paganism and islam, even though they are often get persecuted or even killed for following Christ. This is the kind of conversion that is worth the mention.
I met a lady who had left Islam when she met the living Christ. And a former Muslim who is now a pastor and who is writing books and preaching especially to the immigrants here so that they may come to the light.
etc.etc. I am sure none of this interests you.
But the point is… that the numbers you refer to (just like when you say islam is the fastest growing religion today which we all know is your wishthinking only) are not evident to me, especially from the point of view where we speak of real reflected conversions of the heart.
As a last comment I want to make clear I am a big critiq of modern western secularism and the cultures of death, although I believe in the freedom rights of people both to choose this culture, its sins, their rights to write and speak freely, choose whatever religion they want and to follow their own conscience.
I believe in holy living, modesty that respects the woman’s and man’s dignity (which islamist clothes do not… on the contrary) prayer, almsgiving, pilgrimages, but more than practises I believe in LOVE and TRUTH who are two names for GOD.
I would at any time rather live as a free woman in Europe than in one of the Islamic states and you know why, deep down, I am sure.
I promote Christ as the only person who represents the dignity of the human person, man and woman, as created in the image of God, worthy of absolute respect, honesty and love, because He loved us first and únlike allah, God loved us while we were still sinners…
You have yet to critizise any of the attrocities that have been comitted by your fellow Muslims as I and others have repeatedly shown to you on this thread.
Excuse the length of this post, but unlike you I go deep into the topic and take your statements serious and I test your words.
