YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD WHAT ELSE ISLAM DOES 'NOT' MEAN.

If you think for a moment you will realize that my argument undermines the whole premise of the Islamist. By claiming Islam, the Islamist willingly submits himself to the authority of G-d. That means he has no authority and he can claim none because it is G-d who is the final arbiter and not man. When men claim themselves to be as gods then they are commiting blasphemy and the Islamist becomes by his own admission a blasphemer.

The whole idea of conversion is a man made notion designed to serve solely political purposes for those who want power that is not legitimately theirs. G-d gives no man the right to rule over another.
