WHY
MORE PEOPLE IN BRITAIN CONVERT TO ISLAM !
Many who convert face immense challenges with loss of family and friends, adapting to new environments, having to abandon family traditions that are against Islam and the loneliness that this can bring and many other factors that many Muslims born into the faith don’t necessarily need to deal with. With almost 2.7 million Muslims living in Britain, the number of converts increasing means more Islamic representation within the country.
The number of Britons choosing to become Muslims has nearly doubled in the past decade, with one of the most comprehensive attempts to estimate how many people have embraced Islam, according to news source the Independent. While previous estimates placed the number of Muslim converts between 14,000 and 25,000 an inter-faith think tank estimates the real figures could be as high as 100,000 with nearly 5,000 converts each year nationally.
A poll by Faith Matters, surveyed converts living in Britain and broke down what proportion of Muslim converts there were living in London. The researchers polled mosques with results showing. The number of Britons choosing Islam doubled in the past decade 1,400 conversions in the capital and when extrapolated this meant approximately 5,200 people converting to Islam each year – figures that were comparable with French and German survey research results. The report also noted how converts were portrayed by the media and noted that more than 62% of news articles made mention of converts and in particular made references to terrorism and extremism.

The punishment for adultery is NOT death(by any means).
Punishment is only given after 4 witnesses swear the event.
If anybody commits adultery in the presence of 4 persons he/she has no regard for Islam neither for the community.The strict punishment (flogging) is to deter immorality in the society.
Non Muslims are not converted to Islam. In fact they are reverted to Islam as all the children born in this earth are Muslims but to influence of non Muslim parents they become non Muslims. Therefore we should call it a reversion and not conversion.
