#1 But Africans are converting to Christianity from Islam at a greater rate. Some 6 million per year.

#2 Of course, in Christianity we do not put a death sentence on you when you leave the faith. We also do not put you to death for preaching Islam.

#3 We also do not put you to death for preaching Islam.

Hmm, that idea has possibilities.

anti-Islamic hysteria has been sweeping through America

Really? I've noticed no such thing.

#5 Let me pull out the Rantburg translator for you.

If you refuse to submit to Islam, you are anti-Islamic. Therefore anti-Islam is sweeping America.

If that's the way they want it, so be it.

#6 20,000 a year? Wow. That's like half a full house for a night game at Fenway. Which goes to show that every population has a certain tiny percentage of mental defectives....

#7 20,000 per year sounds about the right number for prison conversions.

#8 "Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older about one in four adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year." -- National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

#9 Parbellum:
You obliviously don't have friends in the department of corrections. Criminals in the big house love Islam since it allows them to justify crimes against an infidel nation. Noxious combination: crime and religion.

#10 An interesting article on the subject here from Pajamas Media here, written a few years ago. The concern for Islam apparently ought to be the millions converting out, rather than the thousands converting in.

#11 TW,
Thanks for linking to that interesting article.

First some perspective: 20,000 converts in a 300 millon + population of the United States = .007%conversions per year. Even within the prison population we are probably talking 1% per year.

Some interesting parts of TW's article:
"In every hour, 667 Muslims [in Africa] convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Every year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity. These numbers are very large indeed."

"In Iran as many as 1 million people have surreptitiously converted to Evangelical Christianity in the last five years."

"In southern Russia the same pattern is emerging. [...] Repulsed by bloody terrorist attacks, those living in areas such as Beslan have converted to Christianity in the greatest numbers of all. As many as 100,000 have converted to Christianity"

#12 The population of America is increasing so saying more Americans are blah-blah is a pretty safe bet for any given blah-blah. Now if the rate is increasing, that's a different story. Notice that data is missing from the article.

20,000 people sounds like a lot if they are all standing in your living room, but 0.007 percent of Americans does not sound like such a big deal. I also suspect most of that is prison conversions. And what's not to like? You get to hate Whitey AND the Juice.

#13 Given the increase in Autism and Alzheimers...is it any surprise there's been an increase in Islamic conversions? perhaps it's something in the water
