Americans Converting To Islam

I don't care who wants to convert to from or inside Islam, the thing that interests me is the fact that most of them are women.

To me Islam seems very oppressive to women why would so many of them wish to follow it? The way one of them describes it, is that the individual rights and freedom are "wrapped up in it" But is it just me or is that a very strong distinction that helps define our nation, freedom of religion. Seperation of church and state. Why would so many people favor the integration of their faith and government.

That's quite interesting that it's mostly women.

Also, we CAN imbed youtube. The tags are [.youtube][/youtube](without the period, of course.). I've edited it into your post.

EDIT: It looks like the tags aren't working properly. I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong.

When did we get youtube tags?

Had it for a while. I think Chruser was working on it.

However, that's not the topic of this thread.
