It takes time. And I seek refuge from my heart inclining to other then the truth of God's light and relying other then his reminder, for in that lies a hate and disregard towards God, that will lead me astray.
Well, I'm 1/3 Iranian/Syrian, so if I converted it would be fitting for that side of my ancestry. lol
I honestly don't see myself converting. I looked into Islam a few years ago, and the issues I had with it, are Sharia Law, how women are treated in general, and their view of Jesus. Even I don't adhere to Christianity as I once did, I don't believe Islam's version of the Jesus story. Now, it's likely that you might not follow Islam to the letter, but those are some fundamental base lines that I couldn't see myself, accepting.
I don't like what the Shariah as is teaches about women and their rights either, but not sure what you mean exactly. For example, I don't agree with divorce laws as they are.
I try to follow Islam to the letter, I just don't let people without proof they are proofs and without proof they are leaders, manipulate me into believing their interpretation and their conclusions regarding religion nor relying on them to think for me. For one, most of Quran is about exactly that, and for good reason.
Translations are horrible often. And so I'm not sure what ails you regarding Islam, but, I told you before I don't blame you for not accepting it when it's been butchered and used for manipulation and spread of ignorance, and when it teaches many evil things in the name of God and they attribute to God what they do not know despite it's warnings not to do so.
