Because he can. Because that is what he knows. I know so many of these Dawah types. They accept Islam in college after a bad breakup or after looking for “deeper meaning” in life, then have to spend the rest of their lives trying to justify and legitimize the decisions of their late teens/early twenties.
That is a great point Happy M., I hope and wish many of these converters read that. Incidentally My grand father accepted Islam falling for a wonderful rich Shia Muslim lady.. they lived together and died together at an young age around 45 -47..
What else would he be doing right now? Seriously. Where else could he get the respect and adoration of so many gullible followers? Where else can he get that adrenaline rush of speaking in front of a crowd and hearing the chants of “takbeer” after his every incoherent, rambling sentence? Where else can he actually matter?
And if we want to be really cynical, which I tend to be at times, what would he stand to gain by saying he doesn’t believe in Islam if he knows what he is saying is a pile of horse poo?
You cleanly stumped that question for that guy's conversion.
what would he stand to gain by saying Absolutely nothing. What would he stand to lose? His entire life as he knows it. Why shoot himself in the foot?
There he may loose his wife and his children and his Muslim friends.
but let me go back to these converters., your point is very valid w.r.t to these people specially Male Christians of west who converted to Islam and
doing this Dawah Bossiness for name/fame/bread and butter., such as that Tortoise and
Yusuf EstesAbdur Raheem GreenBilal PhilipsHamza YusufKhalid YasinTimothy John Winter aka Abdal Hakim Murad but what about others ? for e.g.
James YeeMohamed Zakariya Dawud WharnsbyI mean one can write tons of Psychology books on these guys and.. and there are many dedicated western women in Islam who converted to Islam for the sake of allah/god/Islam., Without conversion they would have been in a far better place at least economically/family wise or socially ..
