Why does anyone convert to Islam?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

To feel special.

There can be many other ways to feel special that don't involve getting circumcised or denying evolution or fasting during Ramadan etc.  Seems a pretty big investment in something as easy to obtain as feeling special.

Hinduism: There can be many other ways to feel special that don't involve blood sacrifices.

Buddhism: There can be many other ways to feel special that don't involve using reincarnation to keep people in their place.

Christianity: There can be many other ways to feel special that don't involve ritual cannibalism.

Paganism: There can be many other ways to feel special that don't involve pentacles.

In short, people convert to different religions for the same reasons: they want to feel special, they want to feel superior, they're desperate to make sense of things without the bother of thinking, and so on. Conversion to Islam is no different than any other religious conversion.
