^ agree ..
i so dont understand why every pakistani, irani, afghani, saudi, egyptian, malaysian, etc has made it his personal job to keep a check on the muslimhood of the world ..
you gain something (a convert to islam) ... then its like wah wah, subhanAllah ... but if you lose something (coverting from islam) ... then everybody goes completely nuts ...
what is it? a basic islamic right to HAVE and not let anyone else have it?
at the end of the day .. it really doesnt effect the society except for the immediate family ... that too becuz of the social pressures and taunts!
but since we are on the topic of coversion ... my fiance is a covert TO islam .. and to make it clear, he is a muslim for his own benefit, and not so that we can be together ... my father, my mother, my siblings are all very happy about it ... but why is it such a huge issue for the rest of my family to see it as such a "haw hai" deal?
i have also heard about converts sometimes finding it difficult to adjust in their newfound society ... because they arent "pure-blooded" ... pathetic!
muslims can be retardedly arrogant at times ... i wish more of us ... like on this forum ... could be the majority ... would be way more peaceful ...
