Muslims who adopted Christianity are not uncommon for the modern world. Gradually, more and more people from different countries are changing Islam to the Catholic or Orthodox faith. Why it happens?

Muslims who converted to Christianity in Egypt

Already more than a million Egyptian Muslims have adopted Christianity. In 2012 alone, more than 750,000 audio copies and 500,000 text copies of the New Testament and 600,000 copies of the film “Jesus” were sold.

Why did many Muslims adopt Christianity?

Islam is becoming less attractive.According to various sources, for 28 years of Sharia rule in Iran, leaders could not solve social and economic problems and make the country an example of an Islamic state, therefore many residents were disappointed in their religion.

Many change their faith out of a sense of hopelessness. Christianity gives faith in their own strength and in the fact that life will change for the better.

Muslims who converted to Christianity in Iran

In Iran, the Gospel and the Old Testament abruptly becameto be popular. Many people want to buy the Holy Scriptures in Farsi. According to various sources, the number of Iranian Christian converts is from 500 thousand to 1 million people. In total, about 70 million people live in Iran. Every day about 50 Muslims accept Christianity, and they do it in secret. This is understandable, because such actions are prohibited on pain of death. But in Europe they are more loyal. So, only in the capital of Great Britain there are 3 Christian churches for Iranians. There are similar churches in 9 cities of England, 14 European countries, 22 states of America. In the major cities of Canada there are 8 cathedrals and in Australia - 4. In total, over 150 similar churches function in the West.

In line with this, the person whoforces or instigates a Muslim to change his faith, runs the risk of going to prison for 2-5 years. The same punishment is foreseen for the distribution, creation and storage of religious literature, which may undermine the faith of Muslims.

How are things in other countries?

About 35 thousand annuallyTurkish Muslims become Christians. In Malaysia, about 100 thousand people have changed the faith. In Indonesia, about 10 thousand people become Christians annually. In this country, transitions from one denomination to another are resolved, but disputes over this phenomenon are still ongoing. In Yemen, the massive outflow of Muslims to other faiths is strongly condemned. Therefore, new Christians arrange joint prayers in strict secrecy in the homes of foreigners. Since if anyone finds out that a Muslim woman has adopted Christianity, she will certainly be executed. The same applies to young people who violate the norms of Sharia.

Is this normal?

Each country has its own understanding of the norm.Somewhere a change of confession is punishable by death, somewhere it is treated loyally. Therefore, there is no universal answer. At the same time, the number of Christians who convert to Islam is growing. Moreover, among them there are prominent scientists, athletes and public figures.
