(AgapePress) - A Christian evangelist who was involved with Islam for 15 years says she understands why a growing number of European women are converting to the false religion. Speaking from experience, she claims it is primarily because the women are being deceived -- by Muslim men.

A recent article in The Christian Science Monitor said that European women are being attracted to Islam because they like "the sense of belonging and caring and sharing that Islam offers" amidst the "moral uncertainties of Western society." According to a researcher quoted in the article, many women are attracted to the Muslim faith because "there is more space for family and motherhood in Islam -- and women are not sex objects." Story
