| Dhimmi Watch : Muslims converting to Christianity by the thousands in France |
| 2007-02-13 |
| Good sign... if true; on the other hand, there are about 3000-3500 conversions to islam each year (often for relationships & marriage issues, though, knew 4 of them in the last 12 months alone, and while this was mostly nominally - didn't change their name for example - they still insist on not eating pork, this seem a big issue). In the face of ostracism and death threats -- in accord with Muhammad's command to kill those who leave Islam. "Muslims converts face ostracism in France," from ZeeNews, with thanks to Morgaan Sinclair: Muslims are converting to Christianity in their thousands in France but face exclusion from their families and even death threats. Most Muslims hide their conversion and Protestant ministers do their utmost to protect new converts. It is estimated that every year in the world some six million Muslims convert to Christianity. The Muezzin call to prayer. But here in France it is no longer reaching all Muslim ears. Around 15,000 Muslims each year are converting to Christianity - around 10,000 to Catholicism and 5,000 to Protestantism.... Many Muslims in France hide their conversion but the trend is continuing. World wide around six million Muslims a year convert to Christianity. |

| #14 See also STRATEGYPAGE today > DON'T BLAME THE TURKS article > Many Muslims starting to look inside Islam as to why serious probs continue to exist in Muslim communities/societies. E.g. FRANCE in SP reportedly has a larger GDP than all the Muslim nations in the world combined, + 1/2 of all Muslims remain illiterate. |

| #13 MHW, I beleave the 6 million convert figure comes from the Muslims themselves (in an article posted here at the RB). You're right that it does not cover the rate of Muslim births, but it cuts the rate of increase by about half. Also this figure does not count the people leaving Islam and not choosing Christianity.

| #12 Thanks BA. My math is a bit lacking. In 200 years you get 1.2 billion. That is too long. We need to go to Plan B. |

| #11 I suppose the figures in France are from Baptism records. However, I doubt the world figure of six million is anything more than someone's guess (hmmm., the number 6 million seems to ring a bell - wonder what it could be). |

| #10 John QC: Hate to belittle your point, but I think you carried a few too many zeros in your calculation there. At 6 million/year and 20 years, you get 120 million. By that count, that's probably less than what the |

| #9 At 6,000,000 conversions per year times 20 years, we should have 1,200,000 billion conversions. Kill the rest. |

| #8 "..so big that even hollow, if it falls on you that's bad." Well, of course... that's why those who have converted are so very quiet about it! |

| #7 It may indeed be hollow and dying on it's feet but... is so big that even hollow, if it falls on you that's bad. |

| #6 I've been seeing small stories like this, here and there for the last five or six years... never really played up much outside the religious press, and I am wondering if it might be an indicator of Islam actually beginning to implode. The hair-trigger touchiness, the endless boasting of how many conversions to Islam, the relentless insistance on adherance to rules about every aspect of life... I wonder more and more about how many so-called Moslems are just concluding it is madness and quietly walking away. I had read once of an interview with a Berber convert in Algeria (I think) who said that Islam had come to mean death, conversation to Christianity meant life. Sounds kind of trite and Sunday-School, put that way, but when you read all about what the modern practice of Islam demands of its' followers, it's not too surprising that a lot of them are quietly slipping away. Which of course would make the hard-line Islamics seeth all the more. What if Islam is actually hollow, dying on it's feet and not anywhere near establishing a world-wide caliphate? |

| #5 "Two former Kentridge High School students, whose Bible club was denied a charter at the school in part because it required members to swear allegiance to Jesus Christ.... (from yesterday). Swear on this here Bible. How far does Taqiya go when there is no soul to save? |

| #4 The Saudis track Muslim numbers and are pissing themselves about losing so many people. This also explains why there is such a desperate worldwide push to install Sharia as national legal code, to prevent conversions. The biggest losses are in Africa, where both the (very conservative, thank you) Anglicans and Evangelicals can't build churches fast enough. Both of them, however, are right at their peak in getting money pipelined from the US right now, which helps a lot. Some of those African Anglican Archbishops are veritable Popes based on their following. |

| #3 It is estimated that every year in the world some six million Muslims convert to Christianity. Muslims are waking up to the hatred/Religion they live with on a daily basis!!!! |

| #1 Btw, this is funny regarding the dechristianization of France; someday, soon, the only believers left wil be arabs & africans, both muslim and christians, with the odd chinese or vietnamese buddhist or gallic scientologist. Oh, well, there always will be Jehova witnesses, we can count on that. |
