Many people just feel like they don't belong on earth unless they prescribe to a religion or faith it seems.

I don't understand the basis of religions ,but it seems there is always a undercurrent of hate towards those who do not follow the truth.

That is a great point about converts being the most fervent. While certainly not on the same scale as some Muslims, I have seen a fervency from Born Again Christians.

And this problem looks to becoming worse and worse, which is going to make it tougher to deal with later on.

Excellent post and excellent comments, especially from TAPS

Another way to look at this issue is.......  the various evil predators of the world are truly delighted,  when they finally discover the best religion/philosophy for predators  (Islam),  and they suddenly have an actual religion that makes all their predatory dreams come true.......  (bias,  hate,  physical abuse,  sexual abuse,  domination,  theft,  injury,  murder).   They don't necessarily care about making an impression on anyone.......  they are just truly enthusiastic and appreciative of their "new" discovery.  They think that,  in Islam,  they have found metaphysical / spiritual support for their predatory evil,  their lifestyle of choice,  and,  guess what...... THEY HAVE!!!

The phenomenon of which you speak is definitely nothing new.  The Bible speaks of this as "first love" and speaks sadly of those who after a time "have lost their first love."  I hadn't really thought of it as also being the same for muslim converts, but why not?

A very salient point you make.

It is always easy to pick out the new born Christians ....they can actually be a pain in the U know where.

Trouble with that other group yes they are taught empowerment through radical evil concepts.
