Changing Religions because of a relationship--Muslim, on-line dating

As far as this blog is concerned, I have doubts about how geninue people are when they convert to Islam. In one study, it was found that 75% of people who converted to Islam went back to whatever religion they previously had.

Combined with the mentality I've seen on here, it seems like a lot of women convert just to make their man happy. This trend is not exclusive to Islam.

So, if one parent is half-heartedly a beleiver in Islam---or reverts back to their previous religion----it's not always the most stable spiritual environment for a child.

I know of at least one case where a woman raised her daughter as a Chrisitan behind her Muslim husbands back, but he was also abusive.
