I've been reading IBN Warrag's "Leaving Islam;" he discusses Muslim converts to Christianity. Contrary to popular myth, Muslims DO convert. Unfortunately, Warraq is so afraid of Islam that he treats this a positive step. The reality, however, is quite different.
These converts are not becoming Liberal Episcopalians; they are becoming fundamentalists, often pentecostals, with a social agenda just as conservative as their Muslim counterparts. They may not force women to wear Hijab, but they do dominate them in the families, bar them from work and education, curtail their reproductive freedom, and force them to submit to that product of malignant genius known as female circumcision. And whereas Islam teaches rebellion against unjust authority, the Christian ethic leads one to kowtow to it. Hardly an improvement.
