This can't be true!!!
But it is!

Makes me feel kinda ashamed...a man's gotta pray when a man's gotta pray.

You gotta respect how he follows his own idea, and you see people laughing at him in the video, must be really hard sometimes. That being said, I don't think it's any worse than being a christian...

[Miraj]

Its not that unbelievable. I've seen many white converts during my religious days as a Muslim. Its always the most conservative Christian types that usually convert. They are very attracted to Islam's extremely strict practices, I guess Christianity wasn't strict enough for them.

Check out this guy:

Yusuf Estes

We used organise lectures for him here in Alberta, he's Texan too. He's quite a popular preacher among North American Muslims.

[Dromikaites]

He, he, that was entertaining. Now Dubya needs to seize the opportunity of having US troops in Saudi Arabia and open that country to Christian missionaries

Its strange to hear Muslim Women with bags over their heads talking in a southern accent.

please try to express yourself in a less inflammatory manner.

what are you talking about? thats as inflammatory as apple pie

[Sher Khan]

Pfft. Plenty of Muslims in Texas. There's oil here, you know?

It's really not such a novelty. I know plenty of Muslims here in Texas. Hell, I'm in Texas.

What's truley rare is a true Democrat in Texas.



Also, it's stranger still to hear Mr. Miyagi speak in a Texan accent.

The woman remarks that Islam has the solution to a lot of prevailing problems in society, to rape and drug abuse and violence in society.

How ironic, that the lands without a strong religous prescence are the most stable and safe to live in. Conveniently forgotten I think.

Well rape would decrease if shariah law was imposed since all the rapes that occured would not be reported as such since "it was her fault for wearing that skimpy burqa".

Very true.

I would love to live in an atheist world.. a man can dream.

Go to the PRC. They're atheist to the ideal.

Actually, this http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...2&page=2&pp=20 topic will tell you why I don't want to go to China.

Besides, my girlfriend has been there lots with her mom, she thinks they're crazy. After the stories I've heard, I don't think I want to live there. :O No offense intended of course.

Actually no. The Chinese masses are rife with superstition and cults. If you want to live in an atheist world the best place is Sweden, Czech Republic, Japan, Albania etc.

And Quebec...

i cant believe it....... the guy says islam is everything christianity isnt. he must have enjoyed the Inqusition. I get very upset when i see a woman in a burqa. Its disgusting to treat a woman like that. "Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US" where have all the Christians gone

quite sad to see such a thing. If these women really wanted to follow Islam she would know that Mohammad would laugh to see her in a burqa.


i wanna see turning christian in Iran.

[Ummon]

where have all the Christians gone

They have been emarginated and cornered into self-embarassment by an excess of secularism, and their own excessive pride, which in a perfect karmic reversal, is now causing the triumph of a worse theocracy, the triumph of someone else.

The Way is in the middle. But humanity is far from learning it.

[RZZZA]

Just shows the bad side of religion, fickle low iq people partaking in religous practices to the detriment of society. Wtf do these people know about the apocolypse? I have a very hard time believing that these are the sharpest tools in the drawer of Religion. I'm sick of seeing the blunt tools, all I see is blunt tools, where are all the sharp tools to denounce these peoples misguided faith?

These people are bored, feel slightly rebellious so they convert to islam for the hell of it. This isnt faith, this isnt sincerity, I respect religious people only if theyre sincerely religious and have some intellect to back up their opinions, I just cant respect the people in this video. But I didnt watch it all the way through though, admittingly...

"Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US" where have all the Christians gone

It is stated in the Holy Bible that in the end of times the numbers of true believers will drop dramatically. Yea they may be moslem Americans, however they are not Southerners. Robert E. Lee must be rolling around in his grave. As for rather or not there Texans, I believe it is best left for an native Texan to decide.

[Ummon]

Many extremist Christians convert to Islam. It happens anywhere infact.

[Zenith Darksea]

I think that the reason that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US is because the other big religions there (Christianity and Judaism) have already expanded as far as they really could - Judaism is a religion that tends to discourage conversion (I believe that a convert is only accepted after his/her third request to convert), and considering that most other people in America are Christian already, they're hardly going ot convert to Christianity, are they? This is a simplistic position, but broadly speaking I think an accurate one.

Of course, the other religion that's growing fast in America is Orthodox Christianity - over half the students in Orthodox seminaries now (a significant number, I can tell you) are from American origins, rather than traditional Eastern Orthodox ones.
