Religion in Flux, Further Thoughts

I was rereading the earlier post citing a poll which found 44% of Americans have changed their religious denomination. Imagine what that says to devout Muslims about our society.

Muslims might view it as a hopeful indicator that many Americans could be persuaded to convert to Islam. Or they might view it as the final proof that our society is so totally abhorrent (from their perspective, of course) that complete annihilation is the only answer.

Islamic societies forbid anyone leaving Islam. Sharia law apparently says anyone leaving Islam for another faith must be executed. Perhaps we will learn the reaction in the Arab press, in the next couple of weeks.
