associate with new converts?

simplistic clarity of some aspects of this religion appeals to certain elements in society, " agreed Hillel Fradkin, a Jewish specialist on Islam and president of Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington think tank.

In a similar vain, Boston University sociologist Peter L. Berger told UPI, "There are indeed many people who are susceptible for the claims of religious certainty offered by Islam and other groups defining themselves as absolute

Re: Why Islam Attracts Criminals

Let me reply AAG style:

Some people need a way of escape...

Some look for kicks in the wrong places at the wrong times...

They get caught...Civilization doesn't give them a chance...

They want peace...

They search everywhere, and finally find Islam...

It gives them peace...

‘Most are black men, some Hispanic. More than 30,000 blacks embrace this faith behind bars every year.’

I think this is a Christian ideological attack on Islam.

Re: Why Islam Attracts Criminals

because criminals r dealt with severely under Islam???

some ppl have no shame when writing such crap… :rolleyes:

Re: Why Islam Attracts Criminals

Actually that may be some thing to do with supposed universality of the religion.

The same way one can question about one another harsh reality …

Why Islam so severely attracts educated British women in Britian ???So much so that they conspire to convert more and more. Seems like Islam is as good avenue for soul freedom as it has the capacity to attract free spirits who are eager to give up extra ordinary freedom and they happily start following restrictions.

quote–
**It is even more ironic that most British converts should be women, given the widespread view in the west that Islam treats women poorly. In the United States, women converts outnumber men by four to one, and in Britain make up the bulk of the estimated 10, 000 to 20, 000 converts, forming part of a Muslim community of 1 to 1.5 million. **-- unquote writen in 1993

Re: Why Islam Attracts Criminals

Interesting article :k:

I don’t know, what type of association you are refering to. At the level of religion may be, but south asian mostly remain isolated or confined to their own comunities mostly in britain and to some extent in US, Canada.

interesting Extracts from the article…

Re: Why Islam Attracts Criminals

Please do the search, I do not have access to any different internet than yours, If you see any copyright voilations please do inform them. I don’t have any concerns with the above mention website. Nor I see the first as Christian ideological attack on Islam. That is just an analysis. Everyone entitled to their own opinion :slight_smile:

As Armughal said Islam advocates most severe punishments for criminals yet they find the religion attractive :konfused: May be they are missing something or we are ?

Re: Why Islam Attracts Criminals

sigh thinking why do i even bother
rvikz have u ever met a criminal? they are normal people, some of atleast who just screw up more than others...n jails arent called correctional facilities for no reason! "criminals" are educated, taught n some come out of these instituations changed for the better. They have so much more time for self-reflection than any of us "free" ppl do. And offcourse it attracts them because they wanna do something right in their life, so once they find wat is right, they want to convert. And i am talking from experience and apprently the ppl who wrote, arent.
