There are lots of them there but they dare not reveal themselves otherwise fanatics like you will declare fatwa on them.

Are you really sure those people you see are truly christians?

Why will you see muslims in church wanting to be christians? Did not your quran say such an one should be killed even by members of his own family?

@needeg,

When I first glanced in this thread, I simply laughed at the enquiry you offered. Let me ask you: is it only in the mosques and church buildings that conversion take place between Christianity and Islam? Certainly not.

Out on the streets, in quite corners, sitting at lunch in restaurants, are just a few places that people discuss their faiths - and conversions take place in the most unlikely of places and circumstances than the examples listed.

My own conversion didn't happen just like that. It took quite a long time - and when I travelled out of Nigeria, I actually went to Church a couple of times to quietly sneer and satisfy my curiosity about the silly things we'd been told about Christianity was. Here I am today - not sneering, but rejoicing that God opened my eyes and heart to His love.

That's just one example of a Muslim who went to Church and got converted; but my personal case may at best be subjective. What about taking a look at most Muslims who are converting to Christianity and encountering the living power of love in Jesus Christ?

One thing you should understand, though - it is not only to either Christianity or Islam that adherents convert between the faiths. There are good resources on the net that will help you see that even some Christians and Muslims have abandoned faith and religion altogether; not to mention that some of these have been quite outspoken about the worrying trend emanating from the Muslim world.

What you may not have realized in your enquiry is that the very situation you wonder about is actually happening in many parts of the world.

i dont know what you are talking about. I see islamists in my church.
Re: Change Of Religion by CrazyMan(m): 2:58am On Jul 21, 2007
I've seen muslims who gave up islam and carried their cross to follow Jesus.

@Pilg
I quite understand what u mean, but guess were stil in the same shoe, it's really happen any part of the world, but from my experience i have not seen Muslems doing such, that's why im asking why such do happen.

And why i said Mosques and Churches is that's what i have seen so far, not any coner!

@craz
Is posible now

Like pilgrim pointed out, conversion can take place anywhere, anytime and doesn't necessarily have to be in the place of worship. My popsman's family was a mixture of muslim and pagan, after granny's death, i believe to muslim (i think the pagan part came from Gran's side), till my old man and most of his brothers converted to Christianity. How it happened, i dunno but then i believe Conversion is most times gradual
