I think as long as the odds of people getting a free trip to the civilized world are countered by the threat of death by some gruesome, medieval means, converts will likely be few.

But it raises an interesting point - several people in the western world, notably women like the young lady who used to be on CITY TV and another lady who I heard speak the other day on Al Jazeera - who were born Muslim are giving up on Islam, and either becoming Christian or else agnostic or atheist.

I wonder if we may see a turning of the tide, as it were - historically Islam has had a lot of converts form other religions. Maybe that is starting to shift, at least in the West?
