I still think the ones born into Islam haven't any real chance. The ones who have no excuse are the ones from western nations who decide to "convert" to Islam becase it is the cool thing to do.
You should read my response to "Masud" who invited me to "join today" because tomorrow we will be on your doorstep in a flash & whole U.S. will be under pressure to die, be raped, tortured, or convert to Islam. I don't doubt that the ignorance of my nation is going to deliver us to the islamic dinner plate. I have no respect but for a very few in my own nation anymore.
I declined his offer, but of course I have been given the chance, so I have no excuse. He didn't want me to convert anyway, only the opportunity to slash my throat without any guilty feelings.
I hear Islam is pretty fashionable in your part of the world, too. Jump on in! Two for the price of one! Get your cheap god while the offer lasts.
