WATCH: Western Young Women Share Regrets After Converting to Islam

The Islamic faith has clearly had an outsized influence on Western culture in recent years, as exemplified by the number of Westerners who have embraced and even fully converted to the religion.

Of course, this also includes a growing number of women who are discovering firsthand that the complaints about Islam were based in reality, not Islamophobia.

That was the topic of this enlightening recent episode of The Pushback:

Here’s an excerpt of the host’s reaction to one such regretful convert:

Basically, this selfish little brat was like, “You know what? I’m going to help manipulate people into falling into something that’s so, so terrible for them. And then when I realize it’s actually really terrible for me, I’m going to beg the sisterhood to stay. Then I’m going to stop doing the things that are really uncomfortable for me because, you know, I don’t want to do things that are uncomfortable.

And then, uh, I’m always going to be part of this propaganda machine because, like, why not? It’s really good for me—except for the fact that it’s actually really bad for me. But I still want to feel really sexy and beautiful, and unfortunately I can’t do that when I’m dressed like a trash bag.

So I’m going to throw out the trash bag thing because it’s not really working for me. But maybe it’ll be really good for you, and I hope that you’ll stay part of my sisterhood forever. I hope that you’ll convert into something that’s going to be really bad for you.

And yeah, you got it. You understand what’s going on here?”

The video sparked significant social media discussion:

In 2024, CBN tackled the topic by exploring just why so many Westerners have been converting to Islam:

An American Muslim interviewed in a fairly recent book (Neighbors: Muslims in North America. Friendship Press, 1989) gave the following reasons when asked why African-Americans are turning to Islam. I have heard the same things from African-Americans in Philadelphia more than once. First on his list is racism in the church. “The discrimination that we feel makes Islam attractive to us because it’s a way of rejecting the culture that will not have us. In sociological terms I think that one of the reasons that many African-Americans go to Islam as opposed to Christianity–and many of us have been raised Christian–is that the people doing these things to us are also Christian.” How often does one not hear it said, “America is no more segregated than at eleven o’clock on Sunday mornings.” The second reason he gives is, I believe, also important in the conversion of Anglo-Americans. “Another factor–and this is part of what attracted me to Islam–is direction and discipline.” Our society is disintegrating for lack of discipline, especially in the city. Through its disciplined life-style, to many people Islam seems to hold out the promise of helping them get their lives back in order again. 

Finally, there is a third factor which probably no one would ever mention explicitly, for obvious reasons, but which, I believe, is nevertheless important. This is the fact that Islam offers a conversion experience and the opportunity to get one’s life in order, without needing to confess ones sin and need of salvation. In fact, Islam makes quite a point of denying these truths. It tells people they do not need salvation; all they need is to follow the “guidance” of God’s law, and they will make it to heaven. That is something the natural man likes to hear. 

Islam’s influence across the West has only gotten stronger, with watershed events in the US including the recent election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.

There’s more evidence elsewhere, including Texas, as the Jerusalem Post reported last year:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has asked North Texas district attorneys and Attorney General Ken Paxton to investigate what Abbott called “Shariah tribunals masquerading as legal courts.”

In a letter sent to the officials on Wednesday, Abbott pointed to the Islamic Tribunal, launched in Dallas in 2014. He said the group had set up a rival court system to illegally enforce Shariah law.

“​​The Constitution’s religious protections provide no authority for religious courts to skirt state and federal laws simply by donning robes and pronouncing positions inconsistent with Western civilization,” Abbott’s letter said.

Here’s another recent example of a Western convert’s confrontation with reality:
