Dear Julie: Congrats, you will be converting to the only religion where a God worships a man. Prophet Mohammed got promoted from the early status of a slave and a warner (in Mecca) to an equal (obeying Mohammed is obeying Allah 4.80) in Madina and finally to the God's God whom God himself prays to.

Here is what the famous islamic scholar Anwar Shaikh wrote in his well known book "Islam, an arab imperialism" (islam-watch.org)

"Here comes the climax when Muhammad reverses his role completely and, as a result, Allah and His angels become his worshippers. It is quite fantastic:

"Lo! Allah and His angels send salat to (pray to) the Prophet (Muhammad). O ye who believe do the same"(33.56)

"This extraordinary emphasis in relation to Muhammad is the source of the general Muslim attitude (You can say anything about Allah even make jokes about him, but leave alone joking or drawing cartoon of Mohammed, even if you take his name with disrespect muslims kill you. Remember what happened to the Danish cartoonists?They are still in hiding with reawrds of millions on their heads)"

"This is absolutely incredible! In all other religions, it is man who worships God but in Islam, it is God who worships man (Muhammad). Yet the Muslims call themselves monotheists! They are surely the worst idolaters on earth".
