FactFinder: Why can't a muslim become anything else? There is a parallel thread under Death penalty for conversion. What happens if someone born into a muslim family starts having doubts and starts feeling that he or she really cannot be a muslim?

they can convert, watch 700 club on cbn.
they always have convertors to christianity from islam to speak in thier show. There are seventy former muslims who are ministers in churches now.
In pakistan it is not allowe to convert if you are born muslim. But this law is not usually enforced.
But it is very rare for born muslims to convert to other religions.
What happens when we're dead? The irony is that all our questions will be answered after we die. We spend our whole life trying to figure out the truth and the only way we'll find out what it is, is to get hit by a bus. And the only comfort that religion offers is that God is driving that bus.
All racists who are prepared to die for their contry, please do that now.
Buddihism is almost gone from India but not from world. It is still world’s fifth major religon and have around 350 million followers. India still has 7,000,000 biddihists , so its not completely kicked out.
sikhs also pray to their Gurues and consider them gods , its not an absolute monotheistic religion like Islam. but still basically they believe in one supreme power. what does thos concept really mean??

can you elaborate more on that?
I also like sikhism, they have also adopted many aspects of islam, since sikhism is a blend of islam and hinduism.

Other than your own, what religion you like the most and why?
Islam is the best choice for me! Islam teaches to respect believes of other faiths, traditions of other people, which is why I truly want myself as a Muslim.

Take Your Best Shot At Me
Frankly, I cannot watch 700 club. I tried it once. 5 minutes and that was it!! I have nightmares that I will be tortured one day by being forced to watch CBN. No offence to anybody but all those bad hairdo's and wigs with orthodontist perfect teeth!!! Kill me now... puleezz.
And there were 70 (70?) converts up there who could put up with that? You are kidding. right?

I watch 700 club regularly, and i wonder what they are preaching is so much aginst christiniaty. They are preaching extreme haterd for islam while Christ had clearly said that:
38 " You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' 39 "But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 "If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have [your] cloak also. 41 "And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 "Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. 43 " You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45"
But there is always a difference in theory and practice, preachers on 700 club are preaching haterd and extremism .
I am not sure about 70 converts but most probably it is true.

Well, then I have No Comments about it.
Islam is the only religion I like the rest of them all seem empty
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/smile.gif
I’ve tried Christianity at my Protestant Primary School, we attended church every week, worshipped in assembly every morning, prayed the lords prayer and did a load of other BS
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/gizzy.gif
The only thing I actually enjoyed was singing hymns, only 'cuz some of the tunes were pretty neat, I was even in the boy choir
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/hula.gif
But even the hymns didn’t satisfy me spiritually, it all felt empty and fake, then my parents taught me how to pray Salaah and Alhmadolillah that did satisfy my spiritual needs, it put my body, mind and spirit at peace.
When I pray namaaz to Allah (swt), I actually feel his presence, I know that my Lord is listening to me, it feels real

LA ILAHA ILALLAH
Islam would be my first and Last choice.
I respect other religions, i have nothing against them, but I guess i never seriously thought of any other religion then Islam.
I cant even imagine myself thinking of another religion...!
Guess I simply accept other religions.
Interesting Question Secret Obsession.
JazakAllah

so, conclusion is this most of you have never thought about religions other than your own.
and those who have, seem to like religions similar to theirs. muslims like christinity or judiasm and Hindus like sikhism.
I have one more question for Hindus on this fourm , and it is not suppose to be offencive (because some people here are alwys ready to take offence at the least slight).
If you have no intrest, attraction, or admiration for islam why do you surf on Islamic religon fourms. Is that "pure haterd" what brought you here???
because Victroy seems to be the only one to say some good words about islam.
