thousands of christians converts to islam around the world 4

Asalam alaikum brothers and sisters!!

50000 christians converted to islam in uk and the number is growing. Islam is growing among the young youth and adults. you must see.

LONDON, February 26 (IslamOnline.net) Jonathan Birt, the son of Lord Birt and Emma Clark, the granddaughter of former liberal prime minister Herbert Asquith, are only two of 14,000 mostly-elite white Britons having reverted to Islam.

In the first authoritative study of the phenomenon, carried by the Sunday Times on February 22, some of the countrys top landowners, celebrities and the offspring of senior Establishment figures have embraced the Muslim faith after being disillusioned with western values.

The new study by Yahya (formerly Jonathan) Birt, son of Lord Birt, former director-general of the BBC, provides the first reliable data on the sensitive subject of the movement of Christians into Islam.

He uses a breakdown of the latest census figures to conclude that there are now 14,200 white reverts in Britain.

Mass Conversion

Speaking publicly for the first time about his faith this weekend, Birt argued that an inspirational figure, similar to the American revert Malcolm X for Afro-Caribbeans, would first have to emerge if the next stage, a mass conversion among white Britons, were to happen.

You need great transitional figures to translate something alien (like Islam) into the vernacular, Birt, whose doctorate at Oxford University is on young British Muslims, was quoted by the Times.

The image of Islam projected by political Islamic movements is not very attractive, he said.

Initially, Birt said he had no coherent reasons for reverting, but in the longer term I think it was the overall profundity, balance and coherence and spirituality of the Muslim way of life which convinced me, he said.

All Rage

Meanwhile, it emerged this weekend that Emma Clark, the great-granddaughter of a British prime minister has reverted.

Emma, whose ancestor, the Liberal prime minister Herbert Asquith, took Britain into the first world war, said: Were all the rage, I hope its not a passing fashion.

Clark, who helped design an Islamic garden for the Prince of Wales at Highgrove, his Gloucestershire home, is now helping create a similar garden for a mosque in Woking, Surrey, on the site of a car park, said the British newspaper.

Furthermore, fresh evidence came this weekend that Islam has received formal acceptance at the heart of the Establishment.

The Queen has approved new arrangements to allow Muslim staff at Buckingham Palace time off to attend Friday prayers at a mosque.

A member of staff in the finance department is the first to take advantage of it, said the British paper.

Trophy Lists

Others have come to Islam through love or marriage.

Kristiane Backer, a former MTV presenter became Muslim after being introduced to Islam by friends.

Drawn to Sufi mysticism, Baker said that white reverts had to overcome prejudice both from those born into Islam and from non-believers.

In the mosque women come up and say to me, You have hair showing: you must cover up completely. I say, Mind your own hair, youre here to think about God .

Many reverts have been inspired by the writings of Charles Le Gai Eaton, a former Foreign Office diplomat, it added.

I have received letters from people who are put off by the wishy-washy standards of contemporary Christianity and they are looking for a religion which does not compromise too much with the modern world, said Eaton, author of Islam and the Destiny of Man.

Wary

Some prominent reverts are even more wary, said the Times.

The Earl of Yarborough, 40, who owns a 28,000-acre estate in Lincolnshire, declined to discuss anything about his faith.

I have nothing to say to you, said Yarborough, who has apparently taken the name Abdul Mateen.

Muslim leaders are harnessing modern campaigning methods to promote their faith. Groups have sprung up on the internet publishing trophy lists of white reverts.

The state-funded school in London founded by Yusuf Islam, formerly the singer Cat Stevens, has turned to Premiership footballers to provide role models, said the Times.

Sources close to the school say reverts including Nicolas Anelka, the Manchester City striker, and Omer Freddie Kanoute, of Tottenham Hotspur, have made visits.

The trend is being encouraged by Muslim leaders who are convinced that the conversion of prominent society figures will help protect a community stigmatized by terrorism and fundamentalism.

The Muslim Council of Britain has co-opted Joe Ahmed-Dobson, son of Frank Dobson, the former health secretary, to chair its regeneration committee.

The community has been unfairly targeted and these developments encourage it in a time of difficulty, said Zaki Badawi, chairman of the Imams and Mosques Council.

thousands of christians converting to islam around the world 3

Asalam alaikum everone!!

Phileppenes.
People convert to islam in groups .
an estimated 200,000 Filipinos who have converted to Islam since the 1970s, joining about 4 million Muslims from the southern
Philippines who are ethnically different from
the heavily Christianized areas.
Granada has about 15,000 Muslims today, mostly Moroccan and Syrian immigrants and North African students who worship at three nondescript Muslim prayer rooms in different parts of town. But the town's 1,000 or so converts are very significant, Ruiz said, because they give Islam a voice that cannot be ignored. Granada's Islamic Council, for example, has been lobbying to stop annual celebrations of the fall of Granada into Christian hands. Castieira joined the original Spanish converts in Csrdoba and became a Muslim in 1977.

thousands of converts in USA and Russia..
The majority of Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni and Shi'a.[7] Islam is the predominant religion in the Middle East, North Africa, and large parts of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.[8] Sizable communities are also found in China and Russia, and parts of the Balkans. About 13% of Muslims live in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country,[9] 31% in the Indian Subcontinent,[9] and 20% in Arab countries.[10] Converts and immigrant communities are found in almost every part of the world. With approximately 1.57 billion Muslims[11] (see Islam by country), Islam is the second-largest religion in the world and arguably the fastest growing religion in the world.
