When the classic subject of "conversion" comes up in a religious process, it always hits me that it is a COMPLETELY hypocritical idea! Asking a person, who is COMMITTED to their own religion, set of ideals or Faith, to Convert to another set of morals is asking them to give up their own sense of "foundation". Faith is Faith; a belief in the trustworthiness of an idea. According to Islamic thought, it comes naturally because faith is an instinct of the human soul. We want to trust and believe in SOMETHING whether religious, spiritual or physical.
Asking someone to give up their emotional dependence on a specific subject to convert is absurd. Who is to say your alternate choice is better. Is isn't their fault their own "standing" doesn't satisfy your views, opinions or way of life. It's not your decision, and it's not your faith. So how would you know?
Those who push to convert without understanding the implications of both sides are exemplifying the stereotypical close mindedness of those who do not strive to understand those who do.
