I'll be honest. I am doing as much research as possible on both Christianity and Islam because I've been feeling very strongly about converting to Islam. I'm looking at both religions as honestly as possible and to tell the truth there have been several times when I've thought, "Why would I want to join a group that I could be executed for leaving?"

Yeah it bothers me. There are things about Christianity that have REALLY been bothering me. And there are so many things about Islam that I really love and that make so much SENSE.

The death for leaving Islam is one of the really big stumbling blocks for me. I'll be real. I know the Old Testament has the same demand and look at the Inquisition and all.

It's all so confusing.
