Regarding you comments about people leaving Islam

I read the comments here and just want to make a very important statement. Muslims do not care about how many people are converting out of Islam in the Middle East or Africa or in Islamic world, we don't need them, they're no good to the religion anyways if they don't want to be a part of it. That's great, because no matter what the Islamic population in the West is growing so fast that your ... eyes will explode when you see the numbers. I was born into a Christian family, my father is African American and my mother German-Irish, I still converted to Islam and I've been a Muslim for 12 years now. If you come down to Chicago and see how many people specially in African American community are converting to Islam you'll take your comments back. This is reality, this is what's happening here, now if some ... think they're making a statement by converting out of Islam then good for them.
