I believe immigrants should convert to the religion of the society they choose to settle in. It's what I did (convert to quasi-atheism), it's what my parents did. If I moved to Dubai (something I am increasingly considering due to developments in the godless West) and decided to settle there (something which is now possible), I would convert to Islam, although preferably a more fundamentalist strain than what converts are usually funneled into.

This so misunderstands the point of faith.  We're called to be set apart from society and to view the Earth as our mission field, not to conform to it and do what's comfortable.

Yes, because I would quickly become aware of how foolish my new religion is and quickly go back to being atheist

Actually, there was a time when I had a "crisis of faith" and came close to converting to Islam. I was very disillusioned with the Catholic Church's capitulation to abortion, gay marriage and the culture war, and came to believe that the only way for Abrahamic values to survive was for Islam to become the dominant religion worldwide. I read the Quran and Sahih al-Bukhari and even visited a mosque, but my faith in Jesus prevented me from converting to Islam. If Islam would reform, clearly accepting Jesus/Isa as prophet and son of god, then I would convert immediately.

"If Islam became Christianity, I would become a Muslim."

Islam already accepts Jesus as a prophet and to recognize him definitively as "son of god" would not be to become Christianity. there are many other practices that are incompatible with modern Christianity, but I am not necessarily against them.

If Islam accepted Jesus as the son of God, it would no longer be Islam. Acknowledging Jesus Christ as the Christians do would compromise Islam entirely. It is not compatible in the slightest.

Yes, but only if I get the first 50 cents in advance.

As I stated before it uses alot of symbols of Ancient Egypt theoon crescent rather than the son, the Old Testament rather than New Testament when Jesus came because Pharoahs existed during old TESTAMENT it's the same religion, no pork Ancient Egypt didn't eat pork

Already a Muslim, albeit a liberal and not that religious one.

I might convert to Christianity for a million dollars, though I'm financially happy where I am.

I’m just putting this idea out there once again:

The idea of such is immoral. Offering someone money to convert? It’s like slaughtering native Americans because they didn’t convert. Both of which were horrible things, but the latter is obviously bad.
Becoming religious for personal wealth is immoral.

As someone who left Islam as soon as I hit puberty, no amount of money can get me to reconvert.
