First of all, once again, I repeat -- whether a person converts or not is not indicative of the truth or falsity of Islam. [/quote]
If that's so, why do Muslims make such a big deal of conversions? Why the title of this thread?  I think you will do well to remember your ruminations on conversion have already led you down the path of numerical embarrassment once, when you claimed 25,000 is higher than 100,000.[/quote]

First, because IT WAS ASKED. I know some people see Muslim women in their head covering and wonder, "Who the heck are those people?" Then when they hear of people converting to Islam, they assume the person must have been brainwashed. No. It is, in fact, an embracing, forgiving, religion that provides clear guidelines and rules about how best to live life and be closer to God. Many people feel a tremendous self of relief when they convert to Islam because it feels like they have come home. Islam is not the religion of any particular race or nationality. African Americans pray side by side happily with Bosnian muslims. Our belief system unifies us. I do not want the public to judge Islam by those animals that have hijacked my beloved faith and commit atrocities in its name. Those people, such as those that belong to ISIS, according to the Quran will burn in hell fire. Secondly, to show people like you especially 1) It IS a peaceful religion 2) It is JUST toward women (not to be confused with equality) 3) It demands that people treat our parents and the elderly well 4) Muslims do believe in the truth of the Quran (as proven through science) 5) It demands we treat prisoners of war, captives, slaves well (even though no one hears about owning slaves anymore!)…

I'm not embarrassed at all about the numbers I posted. I didn't address that because I was busy answering the other misleading information you and others were posting. Islam IS the fastest growing religion in the US and the conversion rate is rapid. I do believe the growth is mostly due to conversion, but I do not know if immigration has increased in the past few years. I tell you all this not to boast, but simply to let you know Muslims are here to stay. It makes no sense to carry so much hatred toward Muslims or Islam because one day you will not be able to avoid having to interact with Muslims. [/quote]
