Protest the war, convert to Shi'a Islam?

I'm surprized anti-war peoples haven't had a mass conversion to Shi'a Islam since most Iraqis are Shi'ites. Wouldn't that be a good way to stick it to Bush's Fundamentalist Christian crusade?

Al-Islam Learn about Shi'a Islam

Converting to another religion to protest the War? What does religion have to do with protesting a war anyways.

lol intresting how you think that everyone that is against bush should convert nice joke ( i am a muslim )
and would say this provides a better understanding of islam

I'm no theology scholar, but I think that God, whoever he may be, is going to be really cheesed with you if your choice of faith is connected to the petty politics of men instead of being based on thorough consideration of God himself.
If you're gonna get yourself sent to hell, you may as well be a secular humanist so that you can feel great about yourself and get as much as possible out of life before you die and spend the rest of eternity roasting on a spit.

Me on the other hand... I dont need God's help to tell Bush I don't approve. I'm going to hell for entirely other reasons.

O YES! WE MUST RISE AND CHANGE OUR FAITH BECAUSE OF MY EVIL AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT! ... :p thats what the terrorist want.

I am just fine where I am at at sea, besides I visit ATLANTIS often.

terrorism delights, theological revolt, whatever the case, you are too hung up on our current administration. Live your life, and d'on't let Jr. control you, hes only human. No suicide, no durasitic conversions. He will fall, as all faithless will.

Better yet - Why don't all you Muslims just denounce the religious entirely, if it pisses Allah off enough then maybe he'll show the little mortals his face ... yes?

What's that you say? Allah won't show his face or anything else to mortals?
Could that be because the gods like Allah have nothing to show and no real power? Could it be because religion is a sham to keep you under the control of a few maniacs who couldn't find any real purpose in life?

I do subscribe to the theory that most humans are abysmally stupid, so don't take this personally. Let's try a dictionary definition:

1. Antiwar; adj.- opposed to war.
A person opposed to war cannot convert to Islam, for the Koran orders believers to murder non-believers. I challenge every non-Muslim on Earth to read the Koran, just once- for the purpose of knowing your enemy. It's only about a quarter of an inch thick, and more murderous per square inch than a Stephen King novel. The guy who wrote it was a psycopath, and anyone who professes this 'religion' is either uninformed, following peer pressure- or psycopathic.

2. It would not be a good way to stick it to anyone, except Islam. Muslims should realize that the vast majority of American rednecks (and former peaceniks) are just this close to snapping into WW II Relocation Camp Mode, and believe me any kind of mass Islamic anything inside the United States would make it happen faster than my granny farts.

3. Finally, Islamic Terror is not facing a fundamentalist Christian crusade. It is facing an informed, aroused, forewarned world population of many faiths, who, thanks to modern communications, understands its methods and agenda and is universally opposed to terror in the name of G-d.

Y'all in Islam are welcome to come and rejoin your ancient Atlantean Elders tribes any time. Belly up to the barbecue, have some spareribs and beer with your older Brothers. Hellyeh, why would any Atlantean want to join something new like Islam, when we already got all that? Give it up, Arabia. You know you want to join us...

?Claro que si? Bueno.
