"There is NO compulsion in religion." This is and has always been the position of Islam on conversion. Coptic Christian women consistently complain of suffocating restrictions on divorce levied by the church should they wish to end unhappy marriages. It is also not unusual that people of different faiths become enamored and wish to marry, in spite of family objections. These women choose conversion as a logical way out. Allegations of kidnappings and forced conversions that you make have NEVER been substantiated and are nothing more than BITTER GRAPES.
Coptic women are kidnapped by muslims and FORCED to convert. Copts ARE a persecuted minority. Kimberly, this is not new from muslims - there are several active cases where Muslim men have coerced European women into Muslim countries and the women have then dissappeared. Do your research carefully you will find that lying is encouraged by the Quran to protect the Islamic faith. Jihad as explained by Maseer is NOT the interpretation that is in mosques. Islam is not a religion of peace as is evidenced by the violent acts carried out on a daily basis in its name. Also the word and concept of holy are not foreign to Islam.
Research the history of the cartoons!! - a Danish Iman puts an open advertisement in a newspaper which offers a reward for every "Kaffir" (unbeliever - that's us by the way) murdered. The cartoons were written as a response to this criminal act by the Iman, and the same Iman was the person who took the cartoons to the Arab press eight (8) months after they had been publised!!!
