To free bee: Muslim insecurity on display

free bee you wrote to Vishvas (you are in inverted commas):

---"Ever wondered why, with all of your propaganda against Islam, Islam is still spreading and even the Celebrities of Europe and America are becoming Muslims? (Jealous?)"---

We infidels are not one bit jealous considering the kind of people who are converting to Islam. You have not named any. Let me name some celebrities who are converting to an agnostic religion. Richard Gere, Orlando Bloom, Naomi Watts to name some. Also an estimated 800, 000 people in the US are reported to have converted to Buddhism.

Have you ever stood outside a Hindu temple in any Western country and watched the number of Westerners entering and leaving. Do the same at mosques. Try it. It will be educational. Other religions don't crow about every convert they manage to net. And they don't put out stories like Neil Armstrong having heard the Adhan when on his way to the moon and converting to Islam.

Ever wondered why there are no Islamic religious leaders who are well-known AND revered around the world like the Dalai Lama, Bishop Tutu, the Pope, the Indian Godmen and women. You have or had Khomeini, Mullah Omar, and the Al Azhar and Pakistani clerics with their quotable quotes on whose blood is allowed. Ever wondered about that?

Any misfit in society who becomes a Muslim is paraded as exhibit A of Islam's truth. Other religions have no insecurities to fall to such depths. The other religions attract much better quality people than malcontents and other social misfits.

---"Give it a little thought today."---

Yes, free bee, give it plenty of thought. Especially the fact that Muslims have this nasty habit of slitting the throats of any Muslim who converts to another religion. No other religion on earth today has this nasty little habit. A sure sign of insecurity. You fear there will be a stampede out of Islam as happened immediately after the Prophet's death and which had to be stopped with the apostacy wars.
