Islam. I don't actually think of it as a conversion in the ussual sense. Most people's description of accepting Islam; when they have already declared their belief in God, is more like a confirmation. Conversion implies going against the old thing they believed, which is not ussually accurate. Most people having studied Islam say that these are the articles of faith that they have believed in all along. Many times I here people from other religions, especially Christianity, say things like: Yes I am definately Christian but I don't accept this, that, or the other doctrine that is presented in the mainstream. When these people take a real look at Islam, they find it represents what they always believed to be the truth, with out having to dismiss certain aspects that would otherwise compromise what they know in their hearts to be the truth.
