Can't be that well known being that I couldn't find much references to this person. But anyway, http://atheism.about.com/b/2006/07/2...g-to-islam.htm

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read the "well-known," lol. Apparently, if a "well-known" person does something, then everyone will perhaps THINK about his decision so that they, too, can follow his footsteps. Luckily, that doesn't work for me.

I, too, coudln't find him anywhere. So, obviously, it's just a way to trap atheists who can't think for themselves -- or theists, for that matter, since they'll be more convinced that, yep, their religion is the "correct" one because, oh look, "well-known" people are converting to it.

How come we don't get to read about well-known Muslims who leave Islam, whether to convert to another religion or Atheism? Or do we? I know of tons of Muslims who've left Islam, but most of them fear revealing the truth to their families and non-close friends because they know that the punishment is supposed to be death for apostasy :|

I wouldn't call it disappointment, really. I mean, I don't care who converts to what, you see. But I just don't think it's a big deal or "news" at all. People convert to Islam just as they leave it ALLLLLLL the time. The only reason that those who leave it aren't publicized is that there's supposed to be a punishment for Muslims who leave Islam, you see ...

But to me, it's the quantity of a people that matters; it's their quality. So what that people are converting to Islam? What are they doing to improve this world? THAT's what we should be worried, not having a ton of babies and/or converting people to Islam as a way to increase Muslim populations across the world. It's not the label that matters; it's not which faith people practice -- it's how they can help improve the lives of people who are suffering; it's what legacy they leave behind for later generations.

If converts REALLY care about humanity, then they should know that it doesn't matter which religion you practice; you can be a good person, good human under ANY religion. So I'd keep an eye on this person (convert to Islam) to see what he's doing FOR the world now in the name of Islam. If he does nothing, he'll be worth nothing in my eyes... not that I might actually KNOW what he does, but still. Just saying, y'know. This applies to all Muslims -- and all non-Muslims, too. I'm a human before anything else.
