Converting to Islam: no big whoop.  I did it myself once. :)

Did you get Justin Bieber tickets out of the deal?  :hmm:

What does it take to become a convert to Islam?
All you have to do is recite that prayer which is like "There is only one God and that God is Allah" three times.  I think it's called the shahadah.   When I was in college a friend and I did that as a joke at a Model UN Conference since we were representing some crappy Muslim country. :)

One of my best friends did that so his wife's family would like him :rolleyes:

When you do that, you have to take a Muslim name.  His was (and still is to the older in-laws) Omar.  We do give him more than a little shit over it.

I think you have to mean it when you say it as well.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

ORLY?  Yay! :cool:

When the death squad shows up to kill you for apostasy you just say you didn't mean it at the time.
