I think people should be free to convert to whichever faith they like. I am a Muslim who almost converted to Christianity. But what made me stop was the complete lack of authenticity in the religion. The Gospels are not written in the language Christ spoke. The Trinity cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. Neither can other fundamental Christian doctrines. Indeed, Christian doctrine is so irrational as to be absurd. Christians claim God is love. But what kind of loving God kills His own innocent son? And what is this imbecilic notion of original sin?
Islam, on the other hand, is logically consistent. God is one. God is not a binity or trinity or dodeckinity. Yes, at times Islam was spread by the sword. But where do we find in the history of Muslims the kinds of genocides committed by the Catholic Church on natives in Latin American? Where was there an Islamic Inquisition? Which Muslim scientist was burned at the stake for proclaiming the world is round?
I agree that Muslims need to take responsibility for the ills in their societies. But where do you find among Muslims the sorts of denial and coverups that we have seen in the Anglican and Catholic churches over pedophilia?
Just some thoughts.
