ok, this is something that for some reasom irritates me.
It shouldn't because it is extremely minor, but it does.
So when someone accepts Islam, do they revert or convert?
The arguments are as follows:
Argument for using "revert"
Unlike Christians, Muslims do not accept "Original Sin" and that all humans are born in a sinful state. We believe that people are born pure.
Since Islam is accepting God and returning to a purer state, people say that someone has reverted to islam
Argument for using "convert"
Well, this one is simple - people have chosen to accept Islam. Unless they were previously Muslims who had converted to something other than islam and then back, they are simply converting to Islam.
My view
