Would you be concerned about someone close converting to islam?

IE a member of the family or a close friend/ someone you work with? This is asked amidst the current climate where many converts, particulalry in the west , feature heavily in lists of convicted members of islamist groups plotting or supporting attrocities. In europe converts have been identified native to numerous countries that have gone on to be arrested. The general pattern to islamist activity has been started with an initial growing interest in political matters ( taken from an islamic standpoint)

In the Uk there have been numerous white british christians/non christian converts as well as british black converts and even now asian converts.

would you have any concerns or no issues - and if so would you report?

Without a doubt, none of my friends are even vaguely religious or spiritual.

actually a number of recent high profile british converts have previously been neither.

What made them high profile?

mainly because they were white and joined high profile islamist groups such as that of anjem chodury, or even Al queda, al shabab and ISlamic State

I'd certainly be concerned, they could go from banter on the bus to blowing up that bus. Jokes aside it would be worrying, certain people have a genetic compulsion for violence but they simply don't have the trigger or the reasons to be violent. Islam (not mainstream but a significant minority) is the only religion (part of it) in the world (currently) were you can kill scores of people and feel like God supports you 100%. That's why there was an increase in converts after 911 because psychopaths are attracted to Islam like moths to a flame. I'm aware that most converts aren't like that but quite a high percentage are so I'd need to look out for my friend when he/she can't look out for themselves.
