#1 Moslem people smugglers have been known to throw Christians overboard as soon as the water gets choppy. Therefore it is not a good idea to announce your Christianity until you reach dry land - in Europe.

As for converting to improve your chances of gaining asylum, that is not likely to work. Thanks to Barak HUSSEIN Obama, the US government is actively discriminating against Christian refugees.

#2 "If American presidential candidate Donald Trump gets elected and bars Muslims from entering the country, as he says he will, would the ban apply to Christians who used to be Muslims? How would one judge the quality of their faith?"

That is why we should block people from regions and not by religion. Set up a system where someone sponsers you the way they did after World War 2, if you get a sponser you can come over. If you screw up the sponser is also held accountable for your crimes. Let Church groups and such do the vetting instead of the government.

#3 No doubt many are sincere, and many sincerely want to improve their chances of being accepted... and a few are jihadis looking for kill zones, as has happened elsewhere. It would be wise to have the authorities chack each before accepting them into the bosom of the congregation.

#4 The old Spanish model seemed to work. No modern psychology, no hand wringers, no anti-Western Civ types. Just old fashion - adapt or perish.

#7 My experience is Libya is that there are a large number of sincerely religious people worshipping God. If the recent events have taught them that Islam is bankrupt and self destructive. The religious seeking will go in a different direction.

How many of these may have been closet Christians in their homeland going through the Moslem motions in fear?

#8 "Another convert told Stern he had found in Christianity an element--love--that was missing from the faith he was brought up in."

No shit, Sherlock. I'm not even Christian, and even I know that.

(Yeah, yeah, I know not all "Christians" are loving people, but I've never know a radical moslem who was.)

#9 These apostates are going to be REALLY sorry when Sharia is established as the law of the land in Europe .

#10 Those of us who actually know a thing or two about the Spanish Inquisition are having a dark chuckle at this article. "Conversos" is the medieval spanish term for these people. The baptism for whatever reason will only get them so far.
