75% of Muslim reverts leave Islam

According to Dr. Ilyas Ba-Yunus, PHd, professor of Sociology at State University of New York, before retiring conducted a demographic study of the Muslim population in the USA found that 75% of Muslim reverts leave Islam. In his study he found that the majority of people who leave Islam are those who revert to Islam while incarcerated, the next largest group were women who reverted while being married to a born Muslim, the 3rd largest group was the children of these women and a small percentage were "drifters" or people who jump from spirituality/religion to the next.

It is all too troubling to think that Allah has called these people to Islam, but their spirit did not gain enough control over their lives to fight against the Shayateen. Allah, swt, ask us to seek knowledge to gain more insight to our spirituality and faith. What are we doing to put the pieces together to fully comprehend what Allah, swt, is telling us?
