4 women convert per 1 man.

Now, I know this isn't the qur'an, but it's the same idea.

Islam is a complete way of life, it has principles giving direction in all sorts of issues, and whether it's delusional or not, the human nature is inclined to be religious. It looks for a purpose and believes in one early on in life.

While you see the Islamic culture as barbaric, it's the perception of beauty in this culture that makes it so strong to others.

To be honest, I think the west is afraid of the high honour of Islam and it's high expectations on humans.

It makes people feel uneasy. The Muslims have a high standard of what it means to be a good human... and the west is not living to the standard.

It hits their pride. They are afraid of it, because it exposes them in many senses. They are uneasy because of that.

The Islam you are describing is not the one I am familiar with. The taliban enforced sharia law on the people and thay hated it. Women lose many rights under Islamic rule, such as the right to an education. Why any woman would want to convert to Islam is beyond me. Keep in mind that the taliban is composed of religious extremeists. So, when people follow the tenants of Islam to the letter and bad things happen, what does that say about Islam? Now, it isn't any different for Christianity (well, maybe a little, but Christianity is still bad) it's just that it isn't legal to stone unruly children, etc. and it is no longer acceptable to think such a thing is justified. I think Muslims in the United States aren't like the fundamentalists in the middle east, but the extremists are still very real, and it is Islam that motivates their actions.
