text: would you convert to islam? if not, why?   no - for the same reason i wouldn't convert to christianity.  i don't believe in formalized religion.  dogma leads to blindly following corrupt people and believing in evil teachings.  it's more important to be able to tell what's right and wrong (rather than listen to dictations of what someone else thinks is right and wrong).  however, i wouldn't mind studying it, maybe even joining a prayer session as a guest (under circumstances where it is appropriate to do so).  but learning about islam isn't particularly high on my list of priorities at the moment.
