So my husband now thinks he wants to research Islam b/c he said it looks interesting and has some very good aspects to it, I told him straight up that I can't stay married to him if he becomes Muslim. This is the only religion he hasn't converted to yet (well, he never became buddhist b/c he converted to Orthodoxy with me and then later renounced Buddhism all together) and I know him, if he starts to research it he will try become so enamoured in it and bash Christianity (again) and he will try to convince me it's a peaeful religion. He seriously need prayers, he was doing real well with going back to Church, but I am going by myself again.

Please do talk with your priest and ask for urgent prayers. Your priest can pray for him privately.
If he does become a Muslim, then he will consider it his obligation to raise all of your children as Muslims. Joint custody cannot even be considered, yet it will most likely be forced upon you.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy and save.

Put him on a Scientology mailing list.

We have a convert from Islam at our church and I can try to put you (or your husband) in contact with him (it might take a bit of time, I don't see him every weekend) if you'd like.

We have several former Muslims here - if he's willing to talk to them, I'm sure any of them would be willing to talk to him.

I'm so worried b/c I've seen people on these forums fall into the hands of Islam just by researching it and what MA said has really hit me and I'm stressing over it right now. When my husband gets home, I will tell him I do not want him researching it, but he is a grown-up and if he's really motivated to raise 5 kids by himself, than by all means, he can commence digging.

Please do talk to your priest and ask for spiritual guidance and prayers. Have your priest do a Holy Unction at your home and call him over for dinner to "talk"... I do strongly believe that priest's praying over him or giving Holy Unction (to all family as well of course) will turn things around at least it will ease your mind knowing God is in control... and He is.
Please do not lose hope God is in chanrge and pray and pray for your husband...
I am sorry you go through this trial... and temptation You are in my prayers

Again, I have no idea if it would be worth anything at all, but I can put you in touch with my BIL and his family if you would like. Having intelligent and caring Orthodox people around might be good for something... His wife is alone there at the moment - he's leaving his kids here for the summer - but I'm sure they'd be happy to talk with you, meet with you and pray for you.
