There were plenty of hypocrites too who embraced Islam but later showed their true colours when the going got tough!
Kheyr, on the issue of the masjid, isn't it surprising how much we act and how angry we get when we see someone destroying a masjid. But at the same time, how little we act when we see muslim blood being spilt. Even though one drop of muslim blood is worth more in the eyes of Allah (SWT) than any masjid including the masjid harem.
The following hadith should put everything into perspective...
Did not the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) say:
<i><b>"How noble you are (referring to the sanctity of the Kaaba), but indeed the single drop of blood of a Muslim is worth more to Allah than you and your entire surroundings." </b></i>
