In Islam, one who is educated in his/her religion and impalements it, is the one that is less likely to leave the religion.
These Muslims could very easily take the food and drink they are offered and toss the Bibles in the street. Christians aren't giving them a convert-or-die/pay jizya option. No one is forcing them. All the flowery arguments in the world won't convince a young Muslim man to go against his father and leave the religion of his birth.
Did I, anywhere in my posts, claim that Christians are forcing these people to convert?
My point was that a combination of ignorance/poverty are the reason why Muslim, in poverty stricken nations leave Islam. Not because Christianity is the light. If this was the case, you would be getting the same results in western nations.
Maybe this Jesus guy is saying some good stuff. MAYBE he offers hope to those who had no hope at all in Islam. As long as you have faith and live that faith day to day, heaven is attainable.
Maybe, Maybe…. :roll:
No small comfort in a religion where even its near-perfect prophet was worried about being cast into hell. If anything, that should be alarm bell #1 that Muhammad felt deep down like he was doing a lot of evil things.
For a former Muslim, you sure do not know much on Islam.
Peace and Blessings be to the Believers
