Christianity vs Islam

Submitted by David (South Africa), Aug 15, 2012 at 10:01

I believe the fact that Christians convert to Islam purely for reasons other than "believing in it". So they only convert for the sake of money, and I see it happening around the townships here in South Africa, how unfortunate. From where I stand ... how could people submit themselves to a religion that is oppressive on them (especially women)?

I see no freedom in Islam or is there any?

I see Islam as a religion of death, oppression, segregation, etc. I must admit, I'm not islamic and anyone out there who can tell me the good they benefit (except monetary benefit), perhaps I can think differently about the religion itself. Not that I'll convert from Christianity - NO WAY).
